an Illustrator error occurred: 1346458189 ('PARM')

I have been developing a c# application that uses the Illustrator Interop library, occasionally my application will starting throwing the above error.  It doesn't seem to be caused by the code because I can restart Illustrator and then the code starts working again. Has anyone found a cause for this error?

Sometimes it's related to batch processing and using document.close() command. Other times it can be something completely different. The immediate cause is usually an Illustrator scripting object referencing an art shape or constituent of a document which suddenly has corrupted properties. Using ESTK, you can see in Data Browser when debugging jsx scripts, that the properties are already set with "An internal error occurred". So beware if you are doing batch processing with the document repeatedly being closed.

    No close() call causing the error, there is a lot of looping through collections.

    In my case close() is used to save files, moreover the documents are synced with my variable i for loops.
    but because of this terrible bug, when saved=false, the closing of the file reoppen it, desyncing documents with i. That's why it cause a 50% failure : the document stays opened 2 times in a whole loop

    The solution (either Ai bugs or not) is to use something like this: (still wip)

    ((I am not an admin to reinstall I have to live with it until maintenance))

    function main(){
        var doc =app.activeDocument;
        doc.saveAs ( File ( doc.fullName.replace ( /\.ait?$/i, "")+".pdf" ) );
    }
