is there an easy script to apply detect edges

hello

I need to apply a clipping path using detect edges with the same option on all the images in my doc

is there any script I can apply to do in bulk?

Thanks

Hi Maritna,

Use the below codings. THis will apply detecting edges. Is it what you want?

if (app.activeDocument.allGraphics.length>0)
{
  for (img=0; img<app.activeDocument.allGraphics.length; img++) {
    app.activeDocument.allGraphics[img].clippingPath.clippingType = ClippingPathType.DETECT_EDGES
}
}

Thanks,

Karthi

The Script tpk1982 works. Just try this:

#target indesign


var myDocument = app.activeDocument;


if (myDocument.allGraphics.length>0)  
{  
  for (img=0; img<myDocument.allGraphics.length; img++) {  
    var detect = myDocument.allGraphics[img].clippingPath.clippingType = ClippingPathType.DETECT_EDGES 
}  
}  
if (detect = true){
    alert("Exist Edges")}

You are using Apple Script ..

Copy and paste the ExtendScript Toolkit. Save as .jsx
