[CS4 JS] Test for Preflight Errors

Question

Hi,
Is it possible to test for preflight errors. If so, how?
I want to allow export of an EPS only if an embedded preflight profile shows no errors.
Thanks

Answer 1

var myPreflight = app.preflightProcesses[0];
var myReport = myPreflight.processResults;
myReport = myReport.replace(/\s+$/,"");
if (myReport == "None")
My problem is that this script doesn't distinguish between the Preflight for the current document and that for any other document that may be open. I assume it is using the FIRST Preflight process created which will not always be for the current document.
Is there a way to reference the Preflight for the current document only? Searching for "Preflight" in the Object Model Viewer in ExtendScript Toolkit bring up No Results.
maybe you should check this "array":
Property AggregatedResults As Variant
    read-only
    Member of InDesign.PreflightProcess
    The aggregated results found by the process. Type: Ordered array containing DocumentName:String, ProfileName:String, Results:Array of Ordered array containing ParentNodeID:Long Integer, ErrorName:String, PageNumber:String, ErrorInfo:String, ErrorDetail:Array of Ordered array containing Label:String, Description:String
or maybe you should set PreflightScope - to your Document - in PreflightOptions:
Property PreflightScope As Variant
    Member of InDesign.PreflightOption
    The pages or documents to preflight, specified either as an enumeration or a string. To specify a range, separate page numbers in the string with a hyphen (-). To specify separate pages, separate page numbers in the string with a comma (,). Type: idPreflightScopeOptions enumerator or String
