Illustrator 25.4 update broke scripts that try to read XMP data that worked in previous versions of Illustrator.
It appears to be getting the error on this line:
ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');
Below is an example script to read font data that worked in 25.3, but errors loading the library in 25.4
// load XMP Library
function loadXMPLibrary() {
if (!ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript) {
try {
ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');
} catch (e) {
alert('Unable to load the AdobeXMPScript library!');
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
// unload XMP Library
function unloadXMPLibrary() {
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript) {
try {
ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript.unload();
ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = undefined;
} catch (e) {
alert('Unable to unload the AdobeXMPScript library!');
}
}
}
// list used fonts
function list_fonts () {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var fontsInfo = [];
loadXMPLibrary ();
fontsInfo.push (getFontsInfo (doc.fullName));
unloadXMPLibrary ();
var info = fontsInfo.join ('\n\n');
return info;
}
// search used fonts
function getFontsInfo(file) {
var arr = [],
xmpFile,
oXmp,
fontNumber,
i,
path,
fontfamily,
fontface,
ns = 'http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/t/pg/';
xmpFile = new XMPFile(file.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_READ);
oXmp = xmpFile.getXMP();
fontNumber = oXmp.countArrayItems(ns, 'xmpTPg:Fonts');
xmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
if (fontNumber) {
for (i = 1; i <= fontNumber; i++) {
path = XMPUtils.composeArrayItemPath(ns, 'xmpTPg:Fonts', i);
fontfamily = oXmp.getStructField(ns, path, XMPConst.TYPE_FONT, 'fontFamily');
fontface = oXmp.getStructField(ns, path, XMPConst.TYPE_FONT, 'fontFace');
arr.push([fontfamily+' '+fontface]);
}
}
return arr.join(', ');
}
alert ("Fonts used in this document: \n" + list_fonts ());
