how to find the object with format stroke : "Unnamed Color" which is red in color and has color value "(C=11,M=99,Y=96,K=2)" and many Unnamed Color were present in Stroke swatch list. how to find exactly that cmyk red alone and replace its stroke value using indesign javascript

	app.findChangeObjectOptions.objectType= ObjectTypes.ALL_FRAMES_TYPE;	
	app.findObjectPreferences = app.changeObjectPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
     app.findObjectPreferences.strokeColor == "Unnamed Color";
   //  app.findObjectPreferences.strokeTint =60;            
	var foundItems = app.activeDocument.findObject(true);
	for (var i = 0; i < foundItems.length; i++) {
		foundItems[i].strokeTint =50;

"Yes unable to change the name on that indesign object stroke panel and also unable fetch the color value of that unnamed color swatch."

 

Hi @Karthik SG ,

loop the colors collection of the document. Make it an array like that and loop it; read out all name values:

var allDocColorsArray = app.documents[0].colors.everyItem().getElements();

You could filter out the unnamed ones:

allDocColorsArray[n].name == "";

The name "Unnamed Color" you see in the UI is not the right value to look for.

    Are you unable to change the name in the UI first ?

    Can you share the document ? Can be stripped out of most of the contents - but please leave few original objects.

     

    On a different note 😉 You could Export your document as IDML - and edit it there 😉 It's a ZIPped plain text structure of the document.

    In the meantime, you can use something like this:

    function main() {

    var doc = app.activeDocument,
        colorBreakdown = [11, 99, 96, 2],
        targetColor = getColor(doc.swatches, undefined, colorBreakdown);

    if (targetColor == undefined) {
        alert('Could not find target color swatch with breakdown "' + colorBreakdown + '".');
        return;
    }

    var items = doc.allPageItems;

    for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
        if (
            items[i].strokeColor == targetColor
            && items[i].strokeTint != -1 // exclude 100% tint
        ) {
            items[i].strokeTint = 50;
        }
    }

}

app.doScript(main, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, 'Do Script');

/**
 * Gets a color from `colorItems`
 * with matching name and/or breakdown.
 * @7111211 m1b
 * @version 2023-03-11
 * @9397041 {Swatches|Colors|Array<Swatch|Color>} colorItems - a collection of Swatches or Colors.
 * @9397041 {String} [name] - the name to match.
 * @9397041 {Array<Number>} [breakdown] - the colorValue array to match.
 * @Returns {Swatch|Color};
 */
function getColor(colorItems, name, breakdown) {

    for (var i = 0; i < colorItems.length; i++) {

        var c = colorItems[i];

        if (!c.hasOwnProperty('colorValue'))
            continue;

        if (
            name != undefined
            && name != c.name
        )
            continue;

        if (
            breakdown != undefined
            && !arraysAreEqual(breakdown, c.colorValue)
        )
            continue;

        return c;

    }

};


/**
 * Returns true if both arrays are equal.
 * @9397041 {Array} arr1 
 * @9397041 {Array} arr2 
 * @Returns {Boolean}
 */
function arraysAreEqual(arr1, arr2) {

    if (arr1.length !== arr2.length)
        return false;

    for (var i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
        if (arr1[i] !== arr2[i])
            return false;
    }

    return true;

};

    Instead of using findObject, it just iterates over the document's page items. You can adjust the predicates. I set it so it will only change the tint to 50% if the tint isn't 100%.

    Hi @Karthik SG , As Robert suggests you could invoke Add Unnamed Colors menu item. Does this work?

     

    var menuItem =  app.menuActions.itemByID(16403)
if(menuItem.enabled){  
    menuItem.invoke();  
};

var cn = "C=11 M=99 Y=96 K=2"
app.findChangeObjectOptions.objectType= ObjectTypes.ALL_FRAMES_TYPE;
app.findObjectPreferences = app.findObjectPreferences = app.findObjectPreferences = null;	
app.findObjectPreferences.strokeColor = cn;           
var foundItems = app.activeDocument.findObject();
$.writeln(foundItems)

     


    Hi @rob day, a side question... does that script actually work for you? I cannot get it to work, and a search on the forum shows it's an old bug that's been around for many years. See bug report. When I run your code, I get this error: Invalid value for set property 'strokeColor'. Expected Swatch, String or NothingEnum enumerator, but received "C=11 M=99 Y=96 K=2" in VSCode when I run that script. If it works for you, it would be great to know what's different. - Mark

    I think there is a bug in the scripting API for app.findObjectPreferences.strokeColor (and fillColor). I have created a bug report, so please vote for it.
