I'm trying to find the VB script for changing the "Check Links Before Opening Document" checkbox on the File Handling panel in the Preferences dialog? I haven't found any documentation referring to the Links items on that panel.

Hi,

Javascript:

with(app.linkingPreferences){

   

    checkLinksAtOpen = true;

    findMissingLinksAtOpen = true;

    }

Guess you'll find it now

Thanks for the info.

Was there a document you pulled this from?

I have an old document from CS2 days that is invaluable for providing a detailed list of available script methods and properties. Obviously things that have been added in subsequent InDesign releases aren't in this document. Later InDesign CS releases offer script SDKs that contain helpful sample scripts but I don't find a detailed summary similar to one from CS2. Have I just not found them? Or how does one find the script method/property for things not contained in the sample scripts?

The best InDesign JavaScript Reference Guide (by Jongware) is here. Alternatively you can use the built-in Object model viewer in ESTK, but it's an awkward implement. References in PDF-format are unavailable since CS3.
