I’m getting the following error while running my script:
→ InDesign 2.0.2 got an error: File some object wasn’t found.
The script runs fine on my machine, but not on one of my user’s machines. Does anyone know what this error means or have advice on how to trap the error? Thanks.
Here is the code:
set myFolder to choose folder with prompt "Select folder containing InDesign Documents"
set myFileList to {}
tell application "Finder"
set myFiles to files of myFolder
repeat with myFileCounter from 1 to (count myFiles)
if file type of item myFileCounter of myFiles is "InDd" then
copy (item myFileCounter of myFiles) as string to end of myFileList
end if
end repeat
end tell
if (count myFileList) > 0 then
set myPDFFolder to choose folder name with prompt "Save PDF files to:"
--This is where the PDF logic goes
repeat with thisItem in myFileList
tell application "InDesign 2.0"
open thisItem
set thisItem to active document
tell active document
--attempt to export to PDF using user defined setting
set PDFname to myPDFFolder & the name of thisItem & ".pdf" as string
try
export format PDF type to PDFname using PDF export style "test" without showing options
end try
end tell
close active document
end tell
end repeat
else
display dialog "No InDesign files were found in the selected folder."
end if
