80. Re: InDesign CS6 resolution for pixel documents not the same
rob day Feb 7, 2014 5:55 AM (in response to Spen)That's what I thought when I wrote the script, but it ends up being too confusing— I could never remember whether 100% meant 1:1 pr actual print. It's easier to simply click the Zoom tool. I guess if clicking bothers you you could script your 1:1 percentage and add a key command.

rob day Feb 7, 2014 6:02 AM (in response to Spen)If you want to key command your 1:1 res you have to get it first (the percentage shown when you double-click the Zoom tool is rounded down.
So for my iMac I've set this script to Command-1:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
set zoom percentage of active window to 66.055047793651
end tell
To get the real zoom percentage double click zoom and run this:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
display dialog zoom percentage of active window as string
end tell

Jort_Ontwerpstudio_Bont Nov 16, 2014 10:55 AM (in response to SylvainLemire)To make it all stranger, the 100% value in InDesign CS5 is correct.
Above that, when I open a CS5 document wich was saved at a view of 100% (InDesign saves the zoom scale in the document) in CC2014 the zoom factor is suddenly 66%.
I really cannot understand why they did this.

The change to 100% equals actual print size happened in CS6. If you want to revert CC2014 to the old behavior run the script in #4, which changes the hidden preference.

b.puckering Nov 18, 2014 4:04 AM (in response to rob day)Rob Day, you may well be my favourite person in the world right now.
Using OSX Yosemite and Adobe CC with your script and it seems to work a treat. It's 1 pixel out (which is bizarre) but on a 1400 px width page, I'm not going to complain!
Thank you so much for this!

Which script are you running and what do you mean by 1 pixel out?

88. Re: InDesign CS6 resolution for pixel documents not the same
b.puckering Nov 18, 2014 5:42 AM (in response to rob day)Downloaded and ran the script at the following link:
http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/DisplayScale.zip
Then set up a web document in InDesign CC with width 1400px and set view to 100% which looked perfect visually
However, as a quick check I took a screenshot and the page width was actually rendering at 1401px (measured in Photoshop after), which seems odd.

rob day Nov 18, 2014 6:22 AM (in response to b.puckering)When you screen capture the page GUI has a 1 pixel border and it's not clear whether that's inside, outside or centered. Try measuring page items, when I do that everything is exact.

b.puckering Nov 18, 2014 9:39 AM (in response to rob day)You're completely right – It was just the 1 pixel page edge line. Thanks!

Sashabe Nov 30, 2014 6:52 AM (in response to SylvainLemire)I used this fix all the time. But as of Indesign CC Oct 2014, it seems this isn't needed anymore — after creating a new document with web intent the 100% scaling is perfectly correct.

93. Re: InDesign CS6 resolution for pixel documents not the same
Sashabe Nov 30, 2014 11:34 AM (in response to rob day)That's strange. I even relaunched Indesign to check. Maybe somehow this setting managed to persist between app sessions (and documents) on my install? The script's effect is document-wide, is it?

rob day Nov 30, 2014 11:55 AM (in response to Sashabe)That's strange. I even relaunched Indesign to check.
The AppleScript I posted sets a hidden preference and is application wide and persistent after quitting:
set custom monitor ppi of general preferences to 72
set use custom monitor resolution of general preferences to true
or the Javascript John posted
app.generalPreferences.customMonitorPpi = 72;
app.generalPreferences.useCustomMonitorResolution = true;
Once you've run a script with those lines the 100% = 1:1 even if you quit and restart. To reset 100% to equal actual print size you would have to run app.generalPreferences.useCustomMonitorResolution = false;
