I have used the script below for many years to export a PDF from documents dropped onto it. Now I'm starting to see Indesign crashing only on the newer macs running Sierra and CC2018. El Capitan running CC2018 don't have a problem at all.
It happens at random times and files. Retrying the file that it crashed on, will usually work second time around.
It can happen when 1 dropped file or when 150 files are dropped on it.
Can anyone see why this would be happening?
Thx
on open fileList
with timeout of 3600 seconds

set myStyles to name of PDF export presets
set myExportStyle to (choose from list myStyles with prompt "Please Choose an Export style") as string
end tell
repeat with aFile in fileList
tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2018"

end tell
end tell
end repeat
end timeout
end open
