Inserting Endnote in InDesign document programatically

Question

Hello All,

I am trying to add/insert endnote in InDesign document programatically.

I manage to add it and end notes are coming at the end of document, but my goal is to add endnote at bottom of each page/story

To do this I tried setting Scope and Place in endnote settings as follows

iEndnoteSettings->SetScope(IEndnoteSettings::Scope::kStory);

iEndnoteSettings->SetPlace(IEndnoteSettings::Place::kNewPage);

Above code works and endnote gets created in new page after page/story where I am inserting it.

I want to add endnote on main page/story itself and do not want to create new page for it.

I tried setting Place(Endnote Frame) as “Load the place cursor” but this requires user action to draw text frame for endnote

iEndnoteSettings->SetPlace(IEndnoteSettings::Place::kPlacegun);

Is there way I can do it programatically to add end note at the bottom of same page?

Any help is highly appreciated, Thanks in advance

End notes, by definition, go to the end of a document. I believe ID's options are to the end of a section, a chapter or the entire book/document.

Notes at the bottom of a page are footnotes — structurally and in ID terminology — even if as author you're regarding them as "end notes."
