Piggybacking on my last thread, I see that there are two properties of graphic layers that I'm unacquainted with:

section divider layer (boolean, r/o) : If true, the layer is a section divider layer.
separator layer (boolean, r/o) : If true, the layer is a separator layer.

I've found some unhelpful references in the API here <http://cssdk.host.adobe.com/sdk/1.0/docs/WebHelp/references/csawlib/com/adobe/indesign/GraphicLayer.html#sectionDividerLayer> and here <http://cssdk.host.adobe.com/sdk/1.0/docs/WebHelp/references/csawlib/com/adobe/indesign/GraphicLayer.html#separatorLayer>.

But I can't find any information what these are and what their function is. Any clues? Thanks.

Hi Rick,

While I have no experience with either of these, I tried my hand at googling information about these two layer properties as they apply to images placed in InDesign.

There's a bit of info about "sectionDividerLayer" in reply 3 (by Laubender) on the following webpage. He/she says that the property identifies a layer group in an image.

There's a discussion on the following webpage (in German) that implies that "separatorLayer" is a property of a PDF file placed in InDesign. (It could, by extension, perhaps also apply to an Illustrator file.)

You can have Google translate the German page to English by prepending "http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=" to the above URL.

My advice is to pay attention to "sectionDividerLayer" if your PSDs contain layer groups, but I think you can safely ignore the "separatorLayer" property.

HTH,
Stan C.
