Reply To: CS4 Library Global Changes

Rocky,

hm. Can't tell if reformatting added overhead to your library.
You said that the library is very old. Does it mean InDesign CS2? Maybe CS2-libraries were encoded in a more compressed way…
Pure speculation.

Something different came to my mind. I hope you noticed that after running the script you no longer had the tiny previews along with the assets. That is because InDesign is not able to recompose the placed text frames when running.

To generate the preview just add the following line:

d.textFrames.item(0).recompose();

before that line:

libraryName.store(app.activeDocument.textFrames.item(0));

And when you are at it just swap “app.activeDocument” to simply “d” in that same line; in this case it's all the same, just it's short form:

libraryName.store(d.textFrames.item(0));
