No. To sort swatches, scripting is much more complex. Thanks for Justin, from Ajar Productions, we have a free script for this. https://ajarproductions.com/blog/2013/12/13/sort-swatches-in-adobe-indesign/

I tried to put exactly this line inside an if checking if it different (!=) of null to them push it to my collection array. But even this if statement stops the script. Maybe because that ESTK option I never ever know about. Thank you so much, Manan. I'll try (and maybe catch, =D) tomorrow.

Hello, there. I'm performing a GREP find in a document and want to collect the contents and parentPage.name of each found text. But, some of them are in text frames placed in pasteboard. And, of course, the script is stopping with an error. Then I put it inside a try/catch and running from InDesign, it's OK. But running from ESTK the error is stopping the script. (Since when ESTK stops to respect try/catch?) Is ther any other way to validate this other than try/catch? app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+";
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = ps;
var f = doc.findGrep();
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
for (var k=0; k<f.length; k++) {
try {
collection.push([f[k].contents , f[k].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.name]);
} catch(e) {}
}

Hello, all. I'm working on script where some panels are managed dinamically by the user or based on selection. I mean I'm using for loops to add children to the panel. I want to know how can I check if, for example: - At least one of the radiobuttons are selected - At least one of the checkboxes are checked - All edittext fields are filled with some text Of course I don't have all those cases at once. Hope I was clear on what I need. Thanks in advance.

Hello, there. Any other suggestions on this? My current situation: - Shift+numpad numbers: captures only the number - Shift+keyboard top numbers: captures both (shift and the number) - Shift combinaded with Ctrl or Alt and numpad numbers: shift is ignored - Shift combinaded with Ctrl or Alt and keyboard top numbers: all captured - The Alt+Number alert I set only works with numpad numbers I'm using Windows 10 and InDesign CC2020 and CC2021 (same behavior). I tried the "keyup" event listener inside and outside the "keydown" event listener. Same result on both sides. Thank you so much. I'll really appreciate any help! main();
function main() {
var w = new Window("dialog" , "Script by LFCorullón");
var e = w.add("edittext" , [0,0,140,24] , "");
e.active = true;
e.addEventListener("keydown" , keypress);
function keypress(k) {
str = [];

if (k.altKey) str.push("Alt");

I'm working on a script. What you are saying will work with CC Libraries, and just CC Libraries. Because of I'm working on a Javascript for InDesign, I can't/don't want to depend on CC Libraries. Also, I just try to place a text frame in CC Library in InDesign. Photoshop doesn't allow it to be used/draged into a layer. The reason I'm thinking/talking about Illustrator to edit the texts, is because I can only think in PDF to bring text from InDesign to Photoshop keeping it editable and not convert it to pixes/curves. As I said, if I copy a text frame in InDesign and paste it in Photoshop, it behaves like I want.

Thanks for replying guys. What I want is something like the result we have when simply copy a text frame from InDesign and paste it in a Photoshop document. The smart object created is called "Vector Smart Object", as you can see in the image below. If I double click this layer, Illustrator opens and the text can be edited. This is what I am trying to do.

Each time a different file. Always pure text PDF. I'm making this from InDesign. Export a text frame to PDF, then want to place/load it in Photoshop. It's OK. But when I double click the generated smart object, it opens Acrobat. I want Illustrator to be open instead.

Almost there... Now, I just need to restrict to numpad and make the shift key work. The shift key is working with the numbers on top of keyboard, but not with numpad numbers. function main() {
var w = new Window("dialog" , "Script by LFCorullón");
var e = w.add("edittext" , [0,0,140,24] , "");
var v = w.add("edittext" , [0,0,140,24] , "");
e.addEventListener("keydown" , keypress);
function keypress(k) {
str = [];
if (k.ctrlKey) str.push("Ctrl");
if (k.altKey) str.push("Alt");
if (k.metaKey) str.push("Win");
if (k.shiftKey) str.push("Shift");
e.addEventListener("keyup" , keyup);
function keyup(k) {
if (k.keyName >= 0 && k.keyName <= 9) {
str.push(k.keyName);
e.text = "";
e.text = str.join("+");
}
}
}
w.show();
}

Wow. Thank you so much, again, Brian! Any idea on why some combination + numpad shows only one of the modifier key? I want to capture modificators + numpad 0-9. And then fill the edittext field with the array joined with "+".

Hello, there. Scripting question. Any way to get key modificators + num pad presses in a edittext field? I need to get Ctrl/Shift/Alt + Numpad numbers for both Mac and Windows. Is it possible directly in javascript? I'm trying something like this... I also tried combination of keydown and keyup. function main() {
var w = new Window("dialog" , "Script by LFCorullón");
var e = w.add("edittext" , [0,0,140,24] , "");
e.addEventListener("keyup" , keypress);
function keypress(k) {
str = [];

if (e.ctrlKey) str.push("Ctrl");
if (e.shiftKey) str.push("Shift");
if (e.metaKey) str.push("Win");
str.push(k.keyName);

Hi, Kas. The script @homeboy4 is talking about is mine. It's the one I mention here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/scripting-fonts/td-p/11287777 I can deal with the error in that forum thread, but, now, Alan's InDesign is crashing. I ran the script fine, reading more than 2500 fonts and it worked to the end with no errors. He has 1640 and the app crashes after 1400 and something. Really don't know why. He also has no memory issues (96Gb). Also, I tried both yours and John P. Morrissey's scripts to create font reports. John's stopped in the font I mentioned in the thread I link above. Yours too. Same error. I think this is a font issue. But re-checking if its status is INSTALLED, the script works. And yes, I'm getting the fonts using app.fonts.everyItem().getElements(); Much much faster (impressive).

But the fonts placed within Document fonts folder are not installed too. Or, are as installed as the ones activated by font managers. Or am I wrong?

This one worked. I really can't understand. Because if I type some characters of that font, select them, and check for appliedFont.status it says INSTALLED. And, as mentioned, returns the right name and style. I have a lot of fonts activated by font manager (fontBase). Some of them are processed, some (as ChinChan) not. At least, the script runs thru the end. Thanks again, Brian!!!

Brian is right. Find/Change will do the job. You can also use a script to do this. Does the paragraph styles names the same of the tag content? If yes, you can use this: //DESCRIPTION: Apply pStyle based on tag
//=============================================================
// Script by Luis Felipe Corullón
// Contato: lf@corullon.com.br
// Site: http://scripts.corullon.com.br
// +55 (51) 9-9685.7565
// Version: 20200715_2128_GMT-3
//=============================================================
var myScriptName = "Apply pStyle based on tag";
var myIDversion = app.version.split(".")[0];
if (!app.documents.length || (app.documents.length && !app.documents[0].visible)) {
alert("There is no opened document." , "Script by LFCorullón" , true);
}
else {
if (myIDversion < 6) main();
else app.doScript(main, ScriptLanguage.javascript, undefined, UndoModes.entireScript, myScriptName);
}
function main() {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "<.+?>";
var f = doc.findGrep();
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
for (var i=0; i<f.length; i++) {
var c = f[i].contents.replace(/<|>/g , "");
for (var j=0; j<doc.allParagraphStyles.length; j++) {
if (doc.allParagraphStyles[j].name == c) {
f[i].appliedParagraphStyle = doc.allParagraphStyles[j];
}
}
}

A simple script example that stops in error for me var myFonts = app.fonts.everyItem().getElements();
var myProgress = new Window ("palette" , "Script by LFCorullón");
myProgress.pbar = myProgress.add("progressbar", undefined, 0, myFonts.length);
myProgress.pbar.preferredSize.width = 300;
myProgress.g = myProgress.add("group");
myProgress.g.orientation = "column";
myProgress.g.spacing = 2;
myProgress.str = myProgress.g.add("statictext" , [0,0,300,24]);
myProgress.str2 = myProgress.g.add("statictext" , [0,0,300,24]);
myProgress.str.text = "Start processing...";
myProgress.str2.text = "";
myProgress.show();
for (var i=0; i<myFonts.length; i++) {
try {
var fStr = myFonts[i].fontFamily + " " + myFonts[i].fontStyleName;
} catch(e) {
var fStr = "Error";

Thank you so much, @brianp311 for your help. I think it's a font issue. But not exclusive to this particular one. Why try/catch doesn't work on this scenario? Why if(myFonts[i].fontStyleName) doesn't work too? Should I leave this, delete the code and move on?

How the text will be entered? Do you want this as a live behaviour? Or just want to enter text using script and then change the leading based on the text? To enter text using javascript and change the leading, you can use something like: var doc = app.activeDocument;
var sel = app.selection[0];
var st = sel.parentStory;
sel.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.CENTER_ALIGN;
st.justification = Justification.CENTER_ALIGN;
st.pointSize = 12;
if (st.contents == "") {
st.contents = "One line of text.";
st.leading = 20;
}
else {
st.contents += "\rAnother line of text.";
st.leading -= 2;
}
