Convert all live captions to static captions (Easy way)

[Nuria28295192ksa4]

Help!

 I'm book editor.

I have been seen different answers. People, you're amazing. 

But im of a lower level of ID. Can anyone explain me where I have to write the formula to convert all the caption of the same document to static captions?

Thank you all!

app.documents[0].textVariables.everyItem().convertToText();

Hi @Nuria28295192ksa4 , For existing captions,  I think you will have to invoke the Convert To Static Caption menu item. Try this:

var tf = app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().getElements()
var mi =  app.menuActions.itemByID(132655)
for (var i = 0; i < tf.length; i++){
    app.select(tf[i])
    if(mi.enabled){  
        mi.invoke();  
    };
};

Hi rob day!

I can't save the action. It said sintaxys error.

Are you saving the code in a plain text editor with the .jsx extension, moving the file into your InDesign Scripts folder, and running from the Scripts panel?

Can you show a screen capture of the error?
