Hi, Since Indesign 2020, the auto-activation feature of missing Adobe Fonts is added. This works almost perfect when opening files manually, but when running a script, it is a nightmare.   There are 2 major issues currently present when using scripting: 1. The script doesn't pause after the document is opened, to allow fonts to be activated. The font activation process runs asynchronously. The script continues after opening the file. All font activation operations are ignored. 2. During the script execution, any font activation is ignored UNTIL THE SCRIPT IS FINISHED! Building delay's or adding additional font validation into the script to check if the fonts are loaded properly, is completely useless. Closing and reopening the Indesign file during script execution is also useless and doesn't work.       app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;     app.open("/demo/Test.indd");         $.sleep(200000);     // The notification appeared confirming the font activation     // Preview is still bad     // Font is still missing!!!!     myDoc.close(SaveOptions.NO);       app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;     alert('Done ...');   How do we successfully integrate font activation in a script?   Thanx    tm ...

Hi,    As a script developer, my main job is develop automation solutions for prepress and marketing professionals. Based in Europe, budgets are tight. Projects are billed by the hour. Every minute is crucial. Using reliable development solutions is a key ingredient in delivering solutions on time, within budget. Previous year, Adobe replaced the long overdue Extendscript by a VS code plugin. Unfortunately, problems significantly increased. Last week I did a small projects on a small budget. Due to serious debugging issues when using the plugin, an 8 hour job became a 36 hour job. 24 hours could not be billed. At the end, I had to switch back to Extendscript toolkit to be able to Finnish the task. Some of my issues:   The content of variables are empty or not displayed. Every few minutes, the extention crashes   Array content not visible. Variable is extended. No items are displayed.   The content of the variables are swapped between the local view and the watch ( _myGroup < - > myGroupsFinal. The content of a variable is not always displayed correctly and is not reliable      Ghost data present in Local view. myGroupsFinal contains data but it has just been  initialised.       Adobe, To whom can I send our bill? Who is going to pay for all lost time using your software? Please build high level quality solutions which do not contain so many bugs. I don't care in which country you outsource your development, but make sure that every product meets the highest criteria and standards. It seems this product was never tested before releasing it to the public.   Thanks           ... View more

Hi,   With this post I would like to report a bug.   Ms Word files can contain Right-To-Left and Left-To-Right text in the same paragraph. When copy/pasting the text into Indesign, only one of the 2 textdirections is displayed correctly.    Creating the text frame which uses the Right-to-Left text direction, and using the World Ready composer, the corresponding text is displayed well. Inline phrases in English, are displayed wrong. Changing the composer to regular Single line composer fixes the English phrases, but messes up the foreign language.    When using different paragraphs, each with the corresponding composer, all works well. When a combination is used in a single paragraph, it can't be fixed.    ... View more

  Hi, With this post, I would like to report a bug.   When trying to preview/zoom in on an uploaded image, the image is displayed on a black overlay.

Hi,   The scripting community relies heavily on the search feature of this community portal. However, since the new layout is in place, searching for answers has become a nightmare.   For example, how does someone searches for "Add text frame" and only wants the to see scripting solutions for Adobe Indesign (Javascript / Applescript)?   Please fix this asap. Customers are depending on us to get working scripts. We need to be able to get answers quick and precise. Every problem and solution is already present in the database, but we can't find it.   Thanks         ... View more
