How to scale multiple objects programatically using javascript in InDesign (grouping and ungrouping).

For example, Rectangle, TextFrame, Oval and ellipse tools selection.

Thanks,

Hi,

Try this..

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var objects = myDoc.selection;
         var  xScale = 80 / 100;  
         var  yScale = 80 / 100;  
    for (t=0; t<objects.length; t++) {  
                     objects.horizontalScale = objects.horizontalScale * xScale;   
                     objects.verticalScale = objects.verticalScale * yScale;  
    }  

Thanks,

prabu G

Try my scripts to resize based on factors.

You can set a factor to multiply the current sizes.

The code will resize all selected objects based on the center anchor point.

If we select multiple objects and scale continuously then at one point, I am getting the following message. "This value would cause one or more objects to leave the pasterboard". How to calculate the size of absoluteHorizontalScale that cause this message programmatically using JavaScript.

Thanks,
