Javascript myDoc.info.author not working SOLVED

[yogi108]

Hi there,

Just realized, that the line in my Javascript - it worked perfectly - rises an error:

Mozilla JavaScript Engine is initialized (vJavaScript-C 17.0.4esrpre)
App:Init:169: TypeError: Invalid argument type.
.:169:App:Init

My sourcecode is:
myDoc.info.author = "xxxx";

Was there a change regarding "author" ?
Following works:
myDoc.info.title = titel;
myDoc.info.subject = "Subject";

PDF X Change Editor Vers.7, 328.2

Any hints?

Regards
Fritz

If it helps, here we go:

break;

}

Hi Frtiz,

Thanks for that - I've tested here and it appears to be working for me, with the Version 8 internal pre-release that I'm using. Version 8 is set to be released within the next week or so, provided our internal tests don't turn up any major issues.

Thanks,
