Why i can't export into IDML [JS-CS6]?

[Beliakov]

I have:

var mDoc = app.activeDocument;

if(app.activeDocument.modified){

    app.activeDocument.save();

    }

myFilename = app.activeDocument.fullName.toString();

mPathDoc = app.activeDocument.fullName;

if (myFilename.match(".indd") !=null){

myFilename = myFilename.split(".")[0]+"_test.idml";

}

app.activeDocument.save(File(myFilename)); --- this line does work!

mDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, myFilename); this line DOES NOT WORK!

// script says: "Cannot find the folder" - though the same folder in previous line

Hi,

exportFile expects a file as target not a string:

mDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, File(myFilename));

Uphhh... Many thanks!

In continue...

Why not exporting (see beneath)?

var mDoc = app.activeDocument;

mPath = mDoc.filePath.parent + '/' + "tmp";

mSpellName = mPath + "/" + "spelling.idml";

aSpell = mSpellName.toString();

myFilename = app.activeDocument.fullName.toString();

//~ mPathDoc = app.activeDocument.fullName;

if (myFilename.match(".indd") !=null){

myFilename = myFilename.split(".")[0]+"_spelling.idml";

}

mDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, File(myFilename)); //DOES Work

mDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, File(mSpellName)); //DOES NOT?

mDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, File(aSpell)); //DOES NOT?

Hi,

mPath = mDoc.filePath.parent + '/' + "tmp";

filePath.parent is a Folder (object) not its path (string) so you can't adding string to this.

use:

mPath = mDoc.filePath.parent.fullName + '/' + "tmp";
