InDesign Object Model Not in OM Viewer

I have the trial of InDesign CS4 installed, along with the scripting componetns and Adobe bridge.
In the ES Toolkit object model viewer I have four options in the dropdown:
Core JavaScript Classes
ScriptUI Classes
Adobe Bridge CS4 Object Model
Adobe InDesign CS4 Object Model
The first three options work fine. The crucial fourth option (the InDesign model) does nothing. I open it and the drop down just closes, then snaps back to whatever the previous selection was.
What is causing this and how do I fix it? Hard to script without the object model reference!
Many thanks in advance for any help.

Try selecting InDesign from the drop down before starting InDesign.
That's the only way I can get it to work on my installation...

  • HELP! Where I can find the InDesign Object Model, Methods, and Properties?

    I've done a little VB scripting with InDesign, using some of the examples I've found here and there. But I can't for the life of me find a full listing of the Object Model, nor a listing of methods and properties. I'm limited in what I can do by stumbling upon objects here and there in others' scripts. Surely this must be documented somewhere.
    One thing that's particularly confusing to me (partly because I'm not well-versed in JS), is I'll see something the following
    app.selection[0].fit(FitOptions.frameToContent)
    where "FitOptions.frameToContent" seems to reference a constant, presumably in a structure. How do I determine the actual constant value, or supply an object reference (as I'm scripting from a stand-alone VB app) such that it can "find" that constant?

    I don't know how VB5 works, but when you add reference to InDesign and declare variable, for example:
    Dim myInDi as InDesign.Application
    then when you write somewhere "myInDi." - VB6 IDE give you context list with all methods and properties of InDesign application
    here is link to AS/JS/VB CS2 reference and AS CS3 reference

  • COM object model not functioning after encrypting the word document using office extention

         After encrypting A word document using office extention, it seems like the COM object model becomes unusable. I cannot not manipulate the encrypt document through COM interface, nor can I write macro VBScript to do some operation on the docuent.
         For example, I create a word Macro with some simple code.
    Sub hi()
        Dim i As Integer
        i = ThisDocument.Fields.Count
        MsgBox i   
    End Sub
         If the document is not encrypt, then we will see a msgbox which tells us the number of bookmarks in the current document.
         Now, encrypt the word document using the office extention, running the macro code will fail with error code " 80004005" and error message:Method 'Fields' of bject 'ThisDocument' failed.
    It is very important for us to manipulate word documents through COM interface in our system, I want to know why the COM interface does not work anymore after the document is encrypted.

    I take macro script as an example to demonstrate that word COM object model cannot be used after encripted. Actually you can reproduce the same problem when you manipulate word document through COM interface using any programming language.
    For example, you can create a text document  with the following VBscript:
    set a = createobject("Word.Application")
    set doc = a.Documents.Open("E:\temp\test.docx")
    msgbox doc.Fields.count
    doc.close
    a.quit
    Save the document with ".vbs" file extention and then run it by double clicking it. it will fail if the document is encrypted using the office extention. 

  • ESTK Indesign Object Model

    Hi All,
    How to deal with InDesing Object Model in ESTK? Is anybody have any manual or reference?
    I am having problem to understand classes (singular and plural) and method. I have not found any reference in Java script Tool Guide.
    Please guide me.
    Thanks,
    Mon

    Mon,
    The distinction between singular and plural is an artificial one. The plural refers to a class of objects, the singular to inividual objects. Take page, for instance. Under pages you see methods such as add(). Under page you see methods (move(), remove()) and properties (length, characters). But page doesn't exist as an object: instead you address an item in the class. Some examples:
    Relating to the whole class:
    myDoc.pages.add()  // add a page to the document's pages collection
    myDoc.pages.length  // the number of pages in the document
    Relating to individual pages:
    myDoc.pages.item(0).textFrames  // the text frames on the first page
    myDoc.pages.item(1).groups  // the groups on page 2
    As tomaxxi mentioned, Jongware files are very good. For some more explanation of the object model, see http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596802523/

  • How do I add InDesign's Object model to ESTK Object model viewer?

    I am new to InDesign scripting, and was told that I could view InDesign's DOM in ESTK's object model viewer. The problem is that my ESTK does not show InDesign Object Model in ESTK's model selector drop down! InDesign DOM is not there in the drop down list.
    How do go about adding the ID DOM to the list?
    BTW, I am on CS6.

    this might help.
    Also, the best thing for the Object model is http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs6js/

  • [ANN] InDesign CC 2014 Document Object Model Documentation

    I've freshly rendered an alternative documentation for Adobe ExtendScript API and the InDesign Object Model.
    InDesign ExtendScript API (10.0)
    I don't like the representation in the Object Model Viewer provided by the Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit and hence used the HTML Version from Jongware on a daily basis. However these files are only up to InDesign CS6 and not searchable. So I started to convert them on my own. If you feel familiar with the structure and layout from Jongware files, this is not by chance, because I'm totally used to it.
    Feel free to browse the documentation, download a copy for offline usage (Unfortunately the offline search function will not work in Chrome). The sources of the Transformation can be found on github. The copyright of the original Files is by Adobe Systems Incorporated.
    I'm happy about Feedback and Bug reports. Keep in mind that the doucmentation sources are written by Adobe and I can only corret transformation errors!
    Acknowledgements
    This project ist based on the fantastic ExtendScript API HTML from [Jongware]. Without his efforts and inspiration I would not have realized it. Thank You!

    Hello Jongware!
    After a couple of changes for ID CC2014 as you'll note below (" -> ', and, Object Styles) to an old couple lines of your code, I got the following to work beautifully to delete all the unused Indesign styles in a document off a hot key. A real time saver!
    //DeleteAllUnusedStyles
    app.menus.item('Paragraph Style Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Select All Unused').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
    app.menus.item('Paragraph Style Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Delete Styles…').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
    app.menus.item('Character Style Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Select All Unused').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
    app.menus.item('Character Style Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Delete Styles…').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
    app.menus.item('Object Styles Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Select All Unused').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
    app.menus.item('Object Styles Panel Menu').menuItems.item('Delete Styles…').associatedMenuAction.invoke();
    The only thing stopping me from popping it into a loop to do a whole book at once (a trick I got from your excellent show-hide layers script) is that I don't know how to "Check The Box" in the ID UI that opens as it does each panel to make it "Apply To All". I'm sure it's quite simple but I've been through your handy dandy Script classes list, and ExtendScript, 'til I'm blue in the face and can't take it any more.
    Can you offer me a hint where to look?

  • Indesign Scripting Object Model

    Hi,
    Is there some reference documentation that provides detailed information on the Indesign object model as exposed to the scripting interface (javascript)?
    I have done fair amount of scripting in Illustrator so I was looking for the Indesign equivalent of this document
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/illustrator/scrip ting/illustrator_scripting_reference_javascript_cs5.pdf
    I looked at this document but it seems kind of sparse (compared to illustrator)
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/indesign/pdfs/InDes ignCS5_ScriptingGuide_JS.pdf
    Obviously they are different applications but I was kind of hoping there would be more info for Indesign scripting.
    In particular I am looking for some insight on how to effectively walk or traverse the document structure of an indesign document using code.
    Finding specific things by type seems out of the picture becuase after doing object reflection on all the page items in an indesign document nothing seems to have a "type" property.
    In my illustrator scripts I was able to place stuff in illustrator layers, give arbitrary pageitems a name and then later go find and manipulate via script. Not as clear how to do this in an indesign context.
    The one advantage of this was that in illustrator I was able to use textframes to hold variable data and read later via scripts. The document becomes the database. And I could create any number of arbitrary "variables" inside the document outside the white board. WOndering how to do this kind of stuff with indesign so I can do template driven documents that are managed by scriptings and form UI that I create.

    commnet: Glad to hear you're clear on the new keyword. It's something that a lot of people are confused about.
    Also glad to hear you've read Crockford's book on this stuff. Honestly I think for most InDesign usage, it's a mistake to worry about any kind of inheritance...usually it's easier to ignore all that stuff.
    And to answer the question about number of properties, probably talking max 100 or so. Certainly not thousands. I just want to have my own datastructure embedded in the indesign document that I can easily talk to via scripts. And this data needs to persist between instances of the javascript script's lifecycle. So it seems having some XML to parse is the solution. If that makes sense.
    If there was a way to deal with JSON data "hidden" within an indesign document I would gladly work with that. But I still need to change certain common content snippets inside the flow of the indesign document in a consistent way.
    I think if you have max 100 properties, you should probably choose the methods that are clearest code, rather than most efficient. I suppose you might have noticable delay with 100, though, obviously try it and see. I'm confused but I thought you needed to have your data associated with text elements inside your document, such that it is visible to a user in the user interface. Hence the proposal of using XML tagged text inside a Text Frame. Did that requirement go away?
    If you just want to hide JSON in the document, then use document.insertLabel() of a string of JSON and be done with it.
    You can also use the JavaScript interpreter's E4X features, that give you much richer Javascript bindings for manipulating XML objects and files. Unfortunately the Javascript's XML bindings have nothing to do with the InDesign XML object model. So could, e.g., export the InDesign DOM XML into a file, read that into a Javascript XML object, manipulating with E4X functions, write it out to a file, and then re-import it into the DOM. Not really very convenient.
    I honestly don't know much about Javascript for browsers, so if you could be more concrete in your queries it would be easier to answer.
    Looking forward to your example snippet though.
    OK, so, in Jeff (absqua)'s example, you create a constructor for a changeNumber rule, you call the constructor to make a rule, add the rule to the ruleset, and change a value attribute of the rule, and then process the ruleset.
    This strikes me as...extremely goofy. For two reasons, first the ruleset creation function should be parametrized with the value you want to change, and second, that you go change the rule's attributes after you have added it to a ruleset. Also, while this works in this example, I don't think it's appropriate to have the xpath attribute hardcoded in the rule creation function -- it's much plausible that you want a function that constructs a rule that changes some arbitrary tag to some arbitrary value.
    So, anyhow, if you were going to stick with the constructor paradigm, then I would change from:
    var changeNumber = new ChangeDocumentNumber();
    var ruleSet = [changeNumber, changeDescription];
    changeNumber.value = "5678";
    __processRuleSet(doc.xmlElements[0], ruleSet);
    to:
    var changeNumber = new ChangeDocumentNumber();
    changeNumber.value = "5678";
    var ruleSet = [changeNumber, changeDescription];
    __processRuleSet(doc.xmlElements[0], ruleSet);
    But I don't like this, because it's not parametrized reasonably. I would want something like:
    var changeNumber = new ChangeValue("//DocumentNumber", "5678");
    var changeDescription = new ChangeValue("//DocumentDescription", "New descr.");
    var ruleSet = [ changeNumber, changeDescription ];
    But because of my disdain for classical inheritance in JavaScript, I would instead write it as:
    function changeValue(xpath, newValue){
      return {
        name: "ChangeValue",
        xpath: xpath,
        apply: function(Element, processor) {
          if (newValue) {
            element.contents = newValue;
          return true;
    var changeNumber = changeValue("//DocumentNumber", "5678");
    var changeDescription = changeValue("//DocumentDescription", "New descr.");
    Because I think that a lot clearer about what is going on without introducing confusion.
    Edit: removed "this.value" from the above and just used newValue directly.
    But if you're defining a lot of rules with different apply functions, this is a very cumbersome strategy. You have all this boilerplate for each function that is basically the same but the apply function is different. This is leads to a lot of wasted code duplications. Why would your apply function be different? Well, that would usually be if you are writing functions that move around XML elements within the document hierarchy, or other things that are not simply changing the value of an element.
    I would much prefer to write this as:
    var changeRule = makeRule("change",
      function(element, ruleProcessor, newValue) {
        element.contents = newValue;
    var changeNumber = changeRule("//DocumentNumber", "5678");
    var changeDescription = changeRule("//DocumentDescription", "New descr.");
    var ruleSet = [ changeNumber, changeDescription ];
    This kind of syntax makes it much more compact to create arbitrary rules with different apply functions. In retrospect, the makeRule() function is named wrong, because it returns a function that makes a rule. Perhaps it'd be more reasonable if it was called makeRuleMaker().
    Anyhow, the downside is that the makeRule() function is kind of heinous. I wrote this in March in Re: How to shift content with in cell in xml rules table. But:
    //// XML rule functions
    // Adobe's sample for how to define these is HORRIBLE.
    // Let's fix several of these problems.
    // First, a handy object to make clearer the return values
    // of XML rules:
    var XMLmm = { stopProcessing: true, continueProcessing: false};
    // Adobe suggest defining rules constructors like this:
    //   function RuleName() {
    //       this.name = "RuleNameAsString";
    //       this.xpath = "ValidXPathSpecifier";
    //       this.apply = function (element, ruleSet, ruleProcessor){
    //       //Do something here.
    //       //Return true to stop further processing of the XML element
    //       return true;
    //       }; // end of Apply function
    // And then creating a ruleset like this:
    //   var myRuleSet = new Array (new RuleName, new anotherRuleName);
    // That syntax is ugly and, and is especially bad if
    // you need to parametrize the rule parameters, which is the only
    // reasonable approach to writing reasonable rules. Such as:
    //   function addNode(xpath, parent, tag) {
    //       this.name = "addNode";
    //       this.xpath = xpath;
    //       this.apply = function (element, ruleProcessor) {
    //           parent.xmlElements.add(tag);
    //           return XMLmm.stopProcessing;
    // and then creating a ruleset like:
    //   rule = new Array (new addNode("//p", someTag));
    // So instead we introduce a makeRule function, that
    // allows us to leave behind all the crud. So then we can write:
    // addNode = makeRule("addNode",
    // function(element, ruleProcessor, parent, tag) {
    //     parent.xmlElements.add(tag);
    //     return XMLmm.stopProcessing;
    // and use:
    // rule = [ addNode("//p", someTag ];
    function makeRule(name, f) {
        return function(xpath) {
            var
                //xpath=arguments[0],
                   // "arguments" isn't a real array, but we can use
                   // Array.prototype.slice on it instead...
                   args=Array.prototype.slice.apply(arguments, [1]);
            return {
                name: name,
                xpath: xpath,
                apply: function(element, ruleProcessor) {
                        // Slice is necessary to make a copy so we don't
                        // affect future calls.
                    var moreargs = args.slice(0);
                    moreargs.splice(0, 0, element, ruleProcessor);
                    return f.apply(f,moreargs);

  • ExtendScript2 CS3 Object Model Viewer (very complicated - any alternative viewer ??)

    hallo iam just starting with JavaScript in CS3 and what i found most confusing is the Adobe's Object Model Viewer in ExtendScript2...
    its no help whatsoever and i didnt figure out the logics of the various dictionary items listed, whatsoever...
    if this is currentlly the only complete reference to CS3 JavaScript model than god help us....
    the ExtendScript2 Object Model Viewer needs to be COMPLETELLY REWORKED to become a full powered dictionary tool instead of an unorganized pile of items
    have you tried InDesign CS3 AppleScript Dictionary in Apple's ScriptEditor... thats a dictionary of object model as i would imagine
    1) its FULLY tree-structured dictionary from topmost level down
    2) all items are categorized and sorted BY TYPE using various icons
    3) every item has a properties catalog card with nice english explanations of that function with hyperlinks to all other relevant items
    IS THERE ANY ALTERNATIVE TO VIEW CS3 JAVASCRIPT OBJECT MODEL AND NOT USE THE EXTENDSCRIPT2 WEAK VIEWER ?????

    Hi Rosta,
    I have to admit that I don't understand. I see very little difference between the ESTK object model viewer and the AppleScript dictionary viewer. If anything, I think the ESTK version is superior because it connects methods with their objects--something that the AppleScript viewer doesn't do at all. But I pretty much find them equivalent.
    Regardless, the descriptions are *identical* between the object model viewer in the ESTK, the AppleScript dictionary viewer, and the Visual Basic/VBA object browser. All descriptions come from the scripting resources in InDesign, and all languages use the same description string.
    Jongware's HTML version, however, is much better than any of the above. Its hyperlinking is very good, and everything else can be found with your browser's Find command.
    Relying on the object model viewers has freed me from the task of maintaining the reference PDFs--which was taking almost all of my time. Without that burden, I can focus on writing the Scripting Guides, Scripting Tutorial, and example scripts. While I agree that the object model viewers aren't perfect, I believe that this is a better use of my time. I think that scripting examples are more useful, overall, than reference documentation (which simply repeats the information from the scripting resources, in any case).
    One very nice thing--because we have to rely on the object model viewers, we were allowed to fix literally hundreds of errors in the descriptions in the scripting resources.
    Thanks,
    Ole

  • ExtendScript Toolkit - Object Model Viewer

    Hi all,
    I know there's not really a way around this but I'm curious if anyone knows why the Object Model Viewer in ExtendScript Toolkit doesn't have After Effects Object Model in the Browser dropdown?  It has it for Bridge, InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. 
    Not that jumping into the AE Scripting Guide is much of a pain...but it just seems like it would be appropriate to have it inside ESTK...

    In my opinion, this should be one of the top priorities of the ESTK. It has been a constant frustration for me over the last everal years that this hasn't been included for After Effects. I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to look up examples in the scripting guide and other people's work when it would have been far faster with this feature. To me without this, it seems the that particular tool (ESTK) has made very little improvements that are obvious to me, especially with the fact that my scripts run far slower in newer versions of After Effects since CS4.

  • Hyperlink in comment is not reported by Word object model

    I believe this is a bug with Word.  I have verified with Word 2010 & 2013.  I did not test with any other version. 
    If a hyperlink in a comment is the first thing in the comment, the Word object model does not report that there is a hyperlink in the comment.  If I modify the comment and add any text (including a space)
    before the link, the link will be reported by the object model.
    Steps to reproduce: 
    in a document, go to Review Ribbon and select "New Comment"
    type in text, select text, and insert hyperlink (Ctrl+k), in address field add http://www.google.com
    Add a new macro that will loop through the comments and report if a hyperlink is found, see code below
    I also verified using VSTO the same behavior
    Dim doc As Document
    Set doc = ActiveDocument
    Dim link As Hyperlink
    Dim comment As comment
    For Each comment In doc.Comments
    On Error Resume Next
    If Not comment.Range Then
    For Each link In comment.Range.Hyperlinks
    MsgBox "Link found in comment"
    Next link
    End If
    Next comment

    Hi Byron,
    Based on the description, you can’t detect the hyperlink in the comments if the hyperlink is at the beginning of the comment. I can’t reproduce the issue by following the steps above like figure below:
    The version of Word application is like figure below:
    I suggest you trying to update the Office to the latest version to see whether this issue is fixed.
    Hope it is helpful.

    I get a error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" after selecting the Oracle view as a data source.
    The Visual Studio Log shows me following details in the ActivityLog:
    362 End package load [Visual Studio Explorers and Designers Package] {8D8529D3-625D-4496-8354-3DAD630ECC1B} VisualStudio 2011/09/05 12:17:58.258
    *363 ERROR OracleConnectionUIControl.ProcessParentFormAcceptButtonClick - Exception opening the connection. Oracle Data Provider for .NET ORA-12560: TNS: Fehler bei Protokolladapter at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException.HandleErrorHelper(Int32 errCode, OracleConnection conn, IntPtr opsErrCtx, OpoSqlValCtx pOpoSqlValCtx, Object src, String procedure, Boolean bCheck) at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException.HandleError(Int32 errCode, OracleConnection conn, IntPtr opsErrCtx, Object src) at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection.Open() at Oracle.VsDevTools.DDEX.OracleConnectionProperties.Test() at Oracle.VsDevTools.DDEX.OracleConnectionUIControl.ProcessParentFormAcceptButtonClick(Object sender, EventArgs e) {D601BB95-E404-4A8E-9F24-5C1A462426CE} Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2011/09/05 12:18:05.652*

    But this error ORA-12560 does not make any sense, because I have got a working connection to the Oracle server and can see tables and views.
    Any ideas?
    Environment:
    Visual Studio 2010 SP 1
    Windows Server 2008 R2
    ODAC 11.2.0.2.40 Beta 2 for Entity Framework and LINQ to Entities
