InDesign Error -1728?


  • Subject: InDesign Error -1728?
  • From: Chris Nitz <email@hidden>

I have some InTags files. They have been saved as
Unicode (Big Endian), with the header starting as
"<UNICODE-MAC>" and they import just fine when I do it
"manually".

But, when I try to use AppleScript to import the file,
I get an error "-1728" with the message "InDesign
2.0.2 got an error: can't get [file specification]".

The exact same subroutine works fine, using some other
Unicode files I saved using an AppleScript that I
wrote.

----
set theTaggedTextFile to "OS 9:InBox:Star Wars
typesetting:PHM:0001.txt"
TagsInRectangle(theTaggedTextFile as string, "EPS
name", 1) of me

on TagsInRectangle(theTextFile, theRectangle, thePage)
try
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
activate
tell document 1
tell page thePage
tell text frame theRectangle
place (theTextFile) showing options no retaining
formatting yes converting quotes no
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
on error error_message number error_number
activate
display dialog "Error number: " & error_number &
return & error_message giving up after 60
end try
end TagsInRectangle
----

This seems, to me, that there's a problem with how the
file was saved.

But I don't know what's REALLY wrong.

Where should I start looking to fix this "error
-1728"?
