I am trying to move guides around and i am running into several obstacles. So first when you add a guide to the document it makes that guide [0] and changes all the indexes for all the guides. Second if you change the location of a guide it also change the index of that guide. I tried putting labels on the guides but ran into the problem of accessing them with pageItems.item. I couldn't do anything with the object So how in the heck can I index these guides?

You are correct in regards to spelling. However whether item or itemByName, neither works unless I use app.scriptPreferences.version="6.0"

So the current solution is to add app.scriptPreferences.version = "6.0" I am wondering is there another way to do this? is pageItems.item not acceptable? Why did it work in the sdk the first time?

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash then use nvm use 8.6 use --delete-prefix v8.6.0 then I could install my module npm install sqlite3. This worked because it then installs it in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/QPP/node_modules/sqlite3/lib/binding/node-v57-darwin-x64/node_sqlite3.node I should be able to switch versions of node with the node version manager.

I want to paste the selected file. So after the dialog closes I want to use the file object to place it on the page. But the script has to wait until the dialog is finished. The parameters for open dialog are prompt,filter, and mulitSelect.

I understand how indesign works to measure objects from the zero point. I am totally lost when it comes to illustrator. I am trying to make lines based on placed objects geometricBounds but I am returning some wierd numbers. First off everything comes back in what I can only assume is millimeters. Then the numbers don't match anything about the coordinates of points or box dimensions. I don't know the increment of the value I am returning but it does not match the interface. Can anyone please help explain this?
