It makes sense, although I was hoping that the script would have been able to avoid some restrictions and go directly to some functionalities. But it seems that this is not the case. Too bad!

Amazing !!!

Finally I succeeded to write the hereunder Javascript, which works fine, but with the same result ! It’s impossible to unlink the Excel files without, first, updating the links. But on the other hand, I’m allowed to remove them, which doesn’t really help me… Grrrr

Maybe someone can tell me what I’m missing here ???

if (app.documents.length == 0) alert(“No documents are open. Please open a document and try again.”);
var myLink;
var linkName;
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var links = myDoc.links;
var MyCounter= 0;
for(var i = 0; i<links.length; i++){
myLink = links[i];
linkName = myLink.name;
if (myLink.status == LinkStatus.LINK_OUT_OF_DATE || myLink.name.substr(linkName.length-5) == ‘.xlsx’){
MyCounter++;
alert (“link nb “+MyCounter+”: “+myLink.name);
//myLink.update();
//myLink.remove();
//myLink.unlink();

}
}

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your suggestion but unfortunately it doesn’t change anything, it’s still impossible to unlink the files, I’m only allowed to relink the file or update the links which I want to avoid absolutely.

Thank you again!
