Hi, ID CS5.5, OSX 10.7.4 adding a missing 'end tell' your code works 😉 Are you really, really sure that your textframelabel is correctly set¿ Try to add a count command to the list to see if it contains elements. Your error is given if trying to set properties to no item or empty list. Hans-Gerd Claßen

Hi, JS starts counting 0. You may shorten it: var allRows = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().rows.everyItem().getElements(); l = allRows.length; for (var i = 0; i < l; i++) { with(allRows){ //set all rowProperties here height = "2 cm"; width = "2 cm"; autoGrow = false; } };

Hi, in use: myArray =new Array(); myArray[5] = 'five'; myArray[3] = 'three'; myArray[4] = 'four'; for ( var i in myArray) { alert('for in ...\n' + 'index: ' + i + ' value: ' + myArray); } for(var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++){ alert('i++\n' + 'index: ' + i + ' value: ' + myArray); } So, if you just want to iterate over all readable items of a array, regardless of their index: for(i in a) should also be ok. Hope it's the truth 😉

Hi, could just test with CS3 at the moment, but guess it should work. --has to be set by user property myLowres : "yourLowRes" property myHighres : "yourHighRes" tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3" set myDocs to every document repeat with i from 1 to count of myDocs try set myDoc to (item i of myDocs) set filePath to file path of myDoc set fileName to name of myDoc set {lrFilePath, hrFilePath} to my getTargetPaths(filePath, fileName) export myDoc format PDF type to lrFilePath using PDF export preset myLowres without showing options export myDoc format PDF type to hrFilePath using PDF export preset myHighres without showing options on error e display dialog e giving up after 5 end try end repeat end tell on getTargetPaths(fileObject, nameString) set folderPath to fileObject as text set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"."} if (count of text items of nameString) is 1 then set {lr, hr} to {folderPath & nameString & "_lr.pdf", folderPath & nameString & "_lr.pdf"} else set {lr, hr} to {folderPath & (text items 1 thru -2 of nameString) & "_lr.pdf", folderPath & (text items 1 thru -2 of nameString) & "_hr.pdf"} end if return {lr, hr} set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""} end getTargetPaths Hope it'll work Happy weekend!

Hi, tables belong to stories and there position is marked by the storyOffset, which is an insertionPoint (1). So you can add a new textFrame (anchored) there (1) and move the existing table to insertionPoint[0] of this new textFrame. There will be a lot of circumstances to keep an eye on ... complicated Hans-Gerd Claßen

Hi, you may use your array from the start, may be faster as ... ¿: var theDoc = app.activeDocument; var getGraphs = theDoc.layers.item('Ebene 1').pageItems.everyItem().getElements(); var pageItemsAndParentPages = []; l = getGraphs.length; while(l--){ tmp = []; tmp.push(getGraphs , getGraphs .parentPage.documentOffset); pageItemsAndParentPages.push(tmp) } pageItemsAndParentPages.sort(function(a, b){return a[1] - b[1]}) l = pageItemsAndParentPages.length; tmp = []; for(var i = 0; i < l; i++){ theItem = pageItemsAndParentPages; if(i === l-1){tmp.push(theItem[0]); theDoc.groups.add(tmp).move([0,0]); continue} if(theItem[1] === pageItemsAndParentPages[i+1][1]){ tmp.push(theItem[0]); }else{ tmp.push(theItem[0]); theDoc.groups.add(tmp).move([0,0]); tmp = []; } } Hope it'll work Hans-Gerd Claßen

Hello UpdateRequired, Uwe gave you the right kick, so you may have the ability to solve it. Here's the part that's important for your needs: var newFile = File(myFolder + toRelink); theDoc.links .relink(newFile); //get parent and apply the fit commands Have to say it's all well-meant just trying to follow the dos and don't Have a sunny weekend Hans-Gerd Claßen

Hi Salieri_purple, I also guess that you don't implement the presetnames correctly. try to run this script. The chosen presetname will be copied to the clipboard. Then paste it to the first script using ... cmd + v tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5" set myPresets to name of every PDF export preset end tell set the clipboard to (item 1 of (choose from list myPresets with prompt "Please choose your pdf export preset(s)" without multiple selections allowed)) Hans-Gerd Claßen

Hi, as AS doesn't provide 'everyItem()' you've got to set the new object refrence. A bit complicated 😉 In my case the class is rectangle, you've got to cycle thru classes to make a universal approach. this works with a group of rectangles: tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5" tell active document set myGroup to group 1 set myTest to item 1 of (all page items of myGroup) set {myClass, myId} to {class, id} of object reference of myTest ungroup myGroup if myClass is rectangle then set myObjectRefernce to item 1 of (every rectangle whose id is myId) end tell end tell Hope it'll be of some help Hans-Gerd Claßen EDIT!!! Guess it is easier as you can refer to 'page item', so just extract the id... tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5" tell active document set myGroup to group 1 set myTest to item 1 of (all page items of myGroup) set myId to id of object reference of myTest ungroup myGroup set myObjectRefernce to item 1 of (every page item whose id is myId) end tell end tell

Hi, first: save the script as script, not as text. Suffix: '.scpt' (NOT applescript which is txt-format; you're working on mountain lion¿) second: No sense in storing it in the ID-Scripts-panel as you want to call it from finder, not from ID (otherwise we've got to change it to work on open documents ...) third: the only way to run it, is with hotkey (you've allready selected ID-files in the finder) or from AppleScriptEditor-window itself ... Hope this'll be of some help
