Nevermind, I got it... Here's the magic formula:

tell application "InDesign CS"
tell library "bookletLibrary"
tell asset "titlePage"
place asset on my document 1 --If the pages require an unfound plug-in, you'll get a similar error to this one. Error:InDesign CS got an error: Cannot add selection to publication. One or more objects were created with the following plug-in(s) that are not in your Plug-ins folder: Sonar Bookends® InFnote, Sonar Bookends® InXref, InBooklet.pln. Install the plug-ins and restart Adobe InDesign.
end tell
end tell
end tell


Hope that might help someone else in future...

Hello all,

I've tried various permutations of the "place asset on document" command for an InDesign CS library asset. I can't seem to find the trick to it. Has anyone here successfully placed a library item into an InDesign document? Any ideas?

Here's some of what I've tried, but did not work:

tell application "InDesign CS"
tell library "bookletLibrary"
tell asset "titlePage"
place me on my document 1--Error:Can't make «class Lass» id 36 of «class Libr» "bookletLibrary" of application "InDesign CS" into the expected type.
end tell
end tell

tell active document -- Both application and documents have library elements... which one should I address?
tell library "bookletLibrary"
tell asset "titlePage"
place me on my document 1 --Error:Can't get asset "titlePage" of library "bookletLibrary" of active document.
end tell
end tell
end tell

place asset "titlePage" of library "bookletLibrary" of document 1 on document 1 --Error: Can't get "titlePage" of library "bookletLibrary" of document 1. Access not allowed.

place asset "titlePage" of library "bookletLibrary" on document 1 --Error: Can't get "titlePage" of library "bookletLibrary". Access not allowed.
end tell



Thanks,
Courtney Schwartz
