Hi,

I have made a script (windows) that loops through several documents
and performs a bunch of actions. At the moment I have
userinteractionlevel set to idDontDisplayAlerts and therefore I don't
get interrupted when there are missing fonts or missing links in my
documents. This is the desired behaviour.. I would however like to
capture the messages about missing links and fonts and store them into
a logfile. Basically I want the dialogues to trigger, return the
message and then close and continue running the script. Is this
possible in any way? Is there a logfile, report object or something
similar available? Could I do a preflight and somehow capture all the
problems this way?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards

Magnus
