Adobe Edit in ACR stopped working.

Question

Hi,
Can anyone help ? I have been running Russell Brown's excellent 'Adobe Edit in ACR' script for some time now through version 1.1.5 and now 1.1.6 and for some reason it has now stopped working. I have made no changes to anything that I am aware of (running Photoshop CS6 Extended) but now when I attempt to run the script I get the following script error:
General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
The object "current document' is not currently available"
The script worked 100% before (both 1.1.5 and 1.1.6) - I have uninstalled and re-installed to no avail.
When I run Adobe Edit in ACR it creates a Raw Smart Object layer and then the error message pops up - but ACR does not open. And yes - TIFF preferences within ACR have been set as per Russell's instructions.
Anyone got any clues - I e-mailed Russell himself but guess he will be too busy to respond.
Regards,
Richard

I don't think the ACR and Photoshop perferences are not the problem. If the open tiff in ACR is not set the script will still run without errors it just doesn't open ACR. If the res is set to something other than 240ppi the replaced smart object will be a different size than the original layer.
I think I have tested all the different layer conditions and the following seems to have fixed the problem on my system. Can you edit the script with the changes below and see if those also fix it on your system. The panel is a Configurator panel that basically just runs the same script from a button. If this fix works for you I will update the panel.
Change line 6 to
@@@BUILDINFO@@@ Adobe ACR Editor.jsx 1.1.7
Then replace these two functions
function convertLayerToACRSmartObject(){
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var layerName =  app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name;
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = "Raw Smart Object";
    // convert selected layer to smart object
    executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "newPlacedLayer" ), undefined, DialogModes.NO );
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = layerName;
    //  edit selected smart object
    executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "placedLayerEditContents" ), new ActionDescriptor(), DialogModes.NO );
    if(app.activeDocument.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.SIXTEEN) app.activeDocument.bitsPerChannel  = BitsPerChannelType.SIXTEEN;
    if(app.activeDocument.mode != DocumentMode.RGB) app.activeDocument.changeMode(ChangeMode.RGB);
    if( !tempFile.exists ) SaveAsTIFF( tempFile );
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    app.activeDocument = doc;
function recoverLayerAndSave(){
try{
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var lyr = doc.activeLayer;
    SelectLayerTransparency()
    var mask = activeDocument.channels.add();
    app.activeDocument.selection.store(  mask );
    app.activeDocument.selection.deselect();
    selectComponentChannel();
    mask.name = '7d358230-8855-11de-8a39-0800200c9a66_Alpha';
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    var reference = new ActionReference();
    reference.putClass( charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" ) );
    desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), reference );
    desc.putString( charIDToTypeID( "Nm  " ), app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name+" restored" );
    var ref = new ActionReference();
     ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) );
    desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "Usng" ), ref );
    desc.putString( charIDToTypeID( "LyrN" ), app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name+" restored" );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Mk  " ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
    if(app.activeDocument.mode != DocumentMode.RGB) app.activeDocument.changeMode(ChangeMode.RGB);
    // save the current 100% transparent as mask
    var recoveredRedChannel = calculations( "Rd  " );
    var recoveredGreenChannel = calculations( "Grn " );
    var recoveredBlueChannel = calculations( "Bl  " );
    app.activeDocument.flatten();
    app.activeDocument.activeChannels = [app.activeDocument.channels[0]];
    applyChannel( recoveredRedChannel );
    app.activeDocument.activeChannels = [app.activeDocument.channels[1]];
    applyChannel( recoveredGreenChannel );
    app.activeDocument.activeChannels = [app.activeDocument.channels[2]];
    applyChannel( recoveredBlueChannel );
    selectComponentChannel();
    trimBackground();
    SaveAsTIFF( tempFile );
    app.activeDocument.close( SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES );
    app.activeDocument = doc;
}catch(e){};
