Scripting ladies and gentlemen,

I'm working on this event script that searches for linked PDF files and lets the user copy/relink them. Using the afterOpen eventListener however crashes InDesign no matter what I do. This is also the case with beforeClose. It appears that my function cnvrtPDFlnk is causing the crash (I'm able to alert succesfully with the afterOpen event if I //-comment the cnvrtPDFLnk(myDocument)). Do one of you scripting gurues have a hint?



#targetengine "session"

main();

function main() { 
   app.addEventListener("afterOpen", myEventFunction, false); 
}

function myEventFunction(myEvent) { 
   var myDocument = myEvent.parent; 
   var label = docLabel(myDocument, "PDFCheck"); 
   if(label) { 
      //myEvent.stopPropagation(); 
      //myEvent.preventDefault(); 
      exit(); 
   } 
   else { 
      cnvrtPDFLnk(myDocument); 
   } 
}

function docLabel(myDocument, key) { 
   var hasLabel = (eval(myDocument.extractLabel(key))?true:false); 
   return hasLabel; 
}

function cnvrtPDFLnk(myDocument) { 
   var graphics = myDocument.allGraphics; 
   var link; var linkExt; var linkType; var linkPath; var linkPageRef; var myConfirm; var myFolder; var myFile; var myOrgPath; 
   var myLinkObjects = []; 
   for (var i = 0; i < graphics.length; i++) {           
      link = graphics[i].itemLink; 
      linkExt = link.filePath.split('.').pop().toLowerCase();    
      linkType = link.linkType.toLowerCase();          
      if (linkExt == 'pdf' || linkType.match('pdf') != null) { 
         link.show(); 
         if(myConfirm= confirm(link.name+"\nDo you want to convert this link?")?myLinkObjects.push(link):alert("Link skipped!\n"+link.name)); 
      } 
   } 
   if (myLinkObjects.length > 0) { 
      myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Point me to a hotfolder.."); 
      copyLink(myLinkObjects, myFolder); // run copyLink function - copies links according to myfolder 
      if(myConfirm = confirm("Do you want to relink now?")) { 
         reLink(myLinkObjects); // run reLink function - relinks according to myFile dialogue 
         app.menuActions.item("Fit Page in Window").invoke(); 
         app.menuActions.item("First Page").invoke();       
      } 
   myDocument.insertLabel("PDFCheck", "true"); 
   }// no links 
}// end cnvrtPDFLnk



Best regards,
