Hi all,

Is there a way to detect an alert like "missing fonts" or others at the open of a document ?

Thanks

Hi Pierre,

This this below JS code.

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel=UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT; // this line will detect all the interaction like missing fonts missing links.
 
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel=UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL; this will enable all the interaction dialog boxes.

thx

csm_phil, can you explain how this would notify the user an alert is waiting for a response?

You can detect a modal dialog by script:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
if modal state then
say "Please close the modal [[emph +]] dialog." using "Whisper"
end if
end tell

Or with JavaScript:

if(app.modalState) alert("Modal dialog or alert active.");

I just convert this to JS.

if ( app.modalState) {
    alert("Please close the model dialogs, then proceed");
    }
else {
    alert("No model dialog");
    }
