Applescript that turns ON all Clipping Paths in InDesign CS3 document

This works in CS4:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"

tell active document

repeat with thisGraphic in all graphics of every page

try

set (properties of thisGraphic) to {clipping path:{clipping type:detect edges, inset frame:-0.5, restrict to frame:true, threshold:1, tolerance:0, use high resolution image:true}}

end try

end repeat

end tell

end tell

For Photoshop path substitute in this line:

set (properties of thisGraphic) to {clipping type:photoshop path, clipping path:{applied path name:"Path 1"}}

For other properties see:

Maybe something like this? I haven't tested thoroughly, but it should turn off every clipping in the document I think...

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell active document
repeat with thisGraphic in all graphics of every page
set clipping type of clipping path of thisGraphic to none
end repeat
end tell
end tell

Brilliant, thank you for posting that Eric.

Can anyone translate this to JavaScript? I'm attempting to learn and I find like for like examples help hugely.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, just noticed the date, sorry.

var
  i, j, allGraphics,
  allGraphicsArrays = app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem().allGraphics;

for (i=0; i<allGraphicsArrays.length; i++) {
  allGraphics = allGraphicsArrays[i];
  for (j=0; j<allGraphics.length; j++) {
    allGraphics[j].clippingPath.clippingType = ClippingPathType.NONE;
  }
}

Thank you very much for taking the time to do that John, that's extremely helpful and working perfectly.

Was/ is anyone able to create a .jsx script to turn "all" paths on in a document?

I work in designing and laying out catalogs and this would save a ton of time. Thanks again!
