Why does the first example work, but not the second?
EXAMPLE 1:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell active document
return properties of document preferences
end tell
end tell
EXAMPLE 2:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell active document
return page width of document preferences
--OR
--return page height of document preferences
end tell
end tell
A sampling of other attributes of document preferences besides those two seem to work. I thought perhaps it had to do with the presence of DTP Page Control as an active plug-in (since it allows those two attributes to be owned by page objects). But it's still erroring after removing Page Control. What's up?
FWIW, I tried using document 1 instead of active document, and also tried calling it from the scope of the application, but no luck.
Thanks,
Rick Gordon
