InDesign Crashes When Accessing NonHiddenStartPageNumber in Plugin Development

[Chamari_Silva]

Hi everyone,

I was trying to port our plugins to the new CS20 SDK and identified that ISectionCmdData.Set() requires two new parameters. NonHiddenStartPageUID and NonHiddenStartPageNumber. 
When I try to access an existing section (ISection) and retrieve this data, I can retrieve the NonHiddenStartPageUID using mySection.GetNonHiddenStartPageUID() along all the other required parameters of the section such as ContinueFromPrevSection, OffsetFromPrevSection, StartPageNumber, etc.

But when I try to access mySection->GetNonHiddenStartPageNumber(); it crashes givig me the following error.

Exception thrown at 0x00007FFA1B237446 (Sections.rpln) in InDesign (Prerelease).exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x0000000000000001.

Can someone help me to find a solution for this problem?

Maybe it's file related - corruption? Have you tried on other INDD files? 

[Chamari_Silva]

Yes I have. This happens in a newly created file in InDesign Pre release 2025.

Hmm, is version 20 already published?

Otherwise better ask in the prerelease areas.

With the newest version of the plugin SDK (plugin_sdk_080) the issue is sorted. These changes no longer exist anymore in the new SDK and the old code is working fine now with out any changes.

Thanks everyone for the support.
