Find all paragraphStyles of the document which are overriden

[JohnAnt185]

Hello there,

I want all the paragraph styles from the document which are overriden. Is there any way instead of iterating all paragraph styles?

Thanks in advance.

Nope.

hmm..

i can't test it right now but it might work like this:

iterate the paragraphs,

test myPara

if 
(myPara.properties==app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.itemByName(myPara.appliedParagraphStyle.name).properties) 
{do something}

[Harbs.]

No. That will not work. Two different javascript objects will not pass an equality check.

You need to loop through all the properties...

Hello Harbs,

     Yes, you are right. The code sample provided by  Vamitul is not working. As there seems to be no such way to get all overriden paragraph styles without iterating all paragraphs, I am doing like this-

for(var cnt=0; cnt<app.activeDocument.textFrames[0].paragraphs.length; cnt++)

{

    var myPara = app.activeDocument.textFrames[0].paragraphs[cnt];

    if(myPara.styleOverridden)

        //alert(myPara.appliedParagraphStyle.name+" is overriden");

    else

        //alert(myPara.appliedParagraphStyle.name+" is not overriden");

}

Thanks.

I think the easiest way is define a Preflight profile and extract the report.
