Larry G. Schneider Nov 26, 2008 12:55 PM (in response to (ChinaSz))This is from the CS3 JS reference
A documents color space, height, and width can only be set when the document is created. You cannot modify these properties in an existing document.
So the only way around this is to create a new document at the size you want and move everything to it. -

Dawnsun Jun 2, 2009 9:03 AM (in response to (ChinaSz))You can change the document size! There is no need to create a new Illustrator file - this is false.
All you have to do is go to your tools > double click on the artboard icon > enter in the new size you want. You can also manually change the size by clicking on the "anchors".
By the way the artboard icon is just above the slice tool on the tool bar.

Larry G. Schneider Jun 2, 2009 9:12 AM (in response to Dawnsun)From the UI, yes you can make these changes but this is a scripting forum and from a script you cannot change a document's size.

Al_Se Jul 23, 2009 12:34 PM (in response to Larry G. Schneider)What about scripting a copy from the existing file and paste into a new document (created from a .ait of the correct size)? If your files are single layers, it shouldn't be too unmanageable to script.

Muppet Mark-QAl63s Nov 19, 2010 6:56 AM (in response to dmitry.kalashnikov)Resizing the artborard(s) was added to the DOM in CS4 when you got multi-artboards… What version are you using as this is an old thread…?
