Hi everyone,

I'm facing a very strange issue on InDesign Server CC 2021.

I can't find color using app.findTextPreferences.findWhat...

I receive an error saying that "findWhat" is not part of object "findTextPreference"... but yes it is !

It works on InDesign CC 2021 on my computer but not on InDesign Server.

I think there are a lot of issues around colors because i can't remove colors too.

example : myOldColor.remove(myNewColor)

or

myOldColor.remove

Error : Can't remove this color

Can you help me ?

Thanks.

Cyril

Hi,

Errors are visible on a new simple document.
With language VBScript, example :

Set ID = CreateObject("IndesignServer.Application.2021")

'New Document
Set CurDoc = ID.Documents.Add

'New color
Set NewColor1 = CurDoc.Colors.Add
NewColor1.Name = "Test"
NewColor1.ColorValue = Array(71, 20, 100, 10)

'Init Color FindWhat    ----> ERROR
ID.FindColorPreferences.FindWhat = NewColor1 

'Add textframe on the first page
Set CurItem = CurDoc.Pages.Item(1).TextFrames.Add

'Fill textframe with new color
CurItem.FillColor = NewColor1

'Delete color     ----> ERROR
NewColor1.Delete

Hello,

I recently upgraded to InDesign Server 2021.

I have the same issues when removing a swatch with the remove method.
I got the error 'This color cannot be removed.'.
But with the same script with InDesign Client, the color is removed.

Regards,
