Title: InDesign Font Reserve open dialog issue
Can anyone offer a solution around a Font Reserve and InDesign automated script which pauses (with a dialog box) every time a file opens with missing fonts.

We have an attached folder script which processes InDesign documents dropped into it and creates PDFs.

We need to use Font Reserve to try to auto-activate fonts in InDesign document.

If there are any missing fonts (or error traps) we would like the InDesign document to close and file is moved to a ERROE_FILE folder for analysis.

The script will then continue with the other InDesign documents until all are processed.

Everything works well in the script, except when a file with missing fonts opens.

A Font Reserve dialog box appears on screen alerting to missing fonts and requires input to click OK.

This stops the script from proceeding.

Is there a solution around this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Alex

Here is code of everything I’ve tried, thus far, without desired results:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
  set user interaction level of script preferences to never interact
end tell

--This works but prevents Font Reserve from auto-activating fonts.

set aDoc to (choose file of type "IDd4") as Unicode text
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
  activate
  set aDocument to open aDoc as alias without showing window
  delay 2
  tell aDocument to make window
  delay 2
  close document 1 saving yes
end tell

--This doesn’t work either.

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
  activate
  set palettes visible to false
 -- delay 2
  --set palettes visible to true
end tell

--can’t get this to work either.
