I have been using a script to export all text from a document and haven't had any issues with it.
Then today I went to use it and I'm am having this message pop up.
JavaScript Error!
Error Number: 48
Error String: Cannot find the folder "/Volumes/Private/var/folders/d1/7nsrmmm94kb872qbgvv5tl9c0000gn/T/TemporaryItems/tempTextFile.txt".
Engine: main
File: /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC 2017/Scripts/Scripts Panel/Samples/JavaScript/ExportAllText CS3.jsx
Line: 55
Source: myStory.exportfile(ExportFormat.taggedText,myTempFile);
Here is the script I have been using.
Any suggestions?
