parentPage is not working in CS4

[tpk1982]

Hi,

I am using the below script to clear paste board and getting the details what I cleared. But It is not working in CS4. It throw error in line 21, with parenPage is not supporting.

I tried instance of Spread but no use.

Original Thread: Re: Pasteboard items information

Could you please help to solve this?

var scriptName = "Delete objects on pasteboard",    
doc;    
PreCheck();    
function Main() {    
    var obj, howManyImages,    
    objs = doc.pageItems.everyItem().getElements(),   
    countTotal = countTextFrame = countRectangle = countImage = 0;    
    var lnkname=[];  
     var layers=doc.layers;  
    for(var i=0;i<layers.length;i++){  
    if (layers.locked){  
       layers.locked=false;  
     }  
   }  
    var links = doc.links;    
    for(var j = 0; j < links.length; j++){    
    if(links.parent.parent.parentPage == null){  
        lnkname.push(links.name);  
    }  
    }    
    for (var i = objs.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {    
        obj = objs;    
        //lnkname.push(doc.allGraphics.itemLink.name);  
//var doc = app.activeDocument;  
       if(obj.parentPage == null) {    
            if (obj.locked) {    
                obj.locked = false;    
            }    
            try {    
                howManyImages = obj.allGraphics.length;                                    
                obj.remove();    
                countTotal++;    
                countImage += howManyImages;  
            if (obj instanceof TextFrame) {    
                    countTextFrame++;    
                }     
                if (obj instanceof Rectangle) {    
                    countRectangle++;    
                }    
            }    
            catch(err) {    
                $.writeln(err.message + ", line: " + err.line);    
            }    
        }    
    }    
    var report = (countTotal == 0) ? "Nothing has been removed." :    
                        "In total " + countTotal + " object" + ((countTotal == 1) ? " was" : "s were") + " removed.\nIncluding:\n\n" +     
                        countTextFrame + " Text Frame" + ((countTextFrame == 1) ? "" : "s") + "\n" +     
                        Number(countRectangle-countImage) + " Rectangle" + ((countRectangle == 1) ? "" : "s") + "\n" +     
                        countImage + " Image" + ((countImage == 1) ? "" : "s" + "\nImage Name - \n"+lnkname.join("\n"));    
    alert(report, scriptName);    
}    
function PreCheck() {    
    if (app.documents.length == 0) ErrorExit("Please open a document and try again.", true);    
    doc = app.activeDocument;    
    if (doc.converted) ErrorExit("The current document has been modified by being converted from older version of InDesign. Please save the document and try again.", true);    
    if (!doc.saved) ErrorExit("The current document has not been saved since it was created. Please save the document and try again.", true);    
    Main();    
}    
function ErrorExit(error, icon) {    
    alert(error, scriptName, icon);    
    exit();    
}

The parentPage property was introduced in CS5. There are some functions on the forum that you can use to get an item's parent page. Some googling around should find you one.

Thanks Peter. I need that parent page is to identify the item is in pasteboard or not.

Thanks again for the information.

Hi Peter,

I also used app.scriptPreferences.version = "6.0".. but no use yet
