Hi scripters,

I have 15 documents open in my indesign application. I am trying to close all the documents. Please see my code below

if(app.documents.length!=0)
{
for (i=0; i<app.documents.length; i++) { app.documents.item(i).close(SaveOptions.no); }	 	} else {null;}

if(app.documents.length!=0)
{
alert('All documents are closed')
}
else
{
alert('Still documents are opened')	
	}
It works good but, not all the documents are closed, before getting the app.documents.length=0 the alert box is popping. And still some documents are opened.

Please advice me how can I close all the documents?

thanks in advance

regards
a r u l

Loop through the array backwards if you are removing elements from it.

> for (var i=app.documents.length-1; i >= 0; i--) { app.documents[i].close(SaveOptions.no); }

... or if you want to close/delete all objects from collection - close/delete last object until there is no objects ;)

VB example:

do while myInDesign.Documents.Count
   call myInDesign.Documents.Item(-1).Close(idSaveOptions.idNo)
loop

Hi a r u l,

You could also take a look at the CloseAll.jsx script that's provided with (and shown in) the Scripting Guide.

Thanks,

Ole
