On further review, I see in other forums that I'm not alone with this - it has to do with missing fonts and prompting for whether to substitute the default or to locate the originals.

The only solution I've found offered is the GUI System Events keystroke one which doesn't seem to work for me, and since this script is to be run unattended on any of dozens of Macs in our department if I did get it working for me it probably wouldn't work elsewhere.

For the record, the message is "The document xxx.indd uses one or more fonts which are not currently available on your system. The text will use a substitute font until the original font becomes available." and then presents "Find Font..." and "OK" buttons. I've found maybe 5 or 6 reported instances of this and no one indicates they're using any font handling packages so I'm guessing this is strictly Adobe.

Anyhow, just hoping someone has a magic bullet for this other than a GUI approach.

Thanks for reading.
