[JS][CS5] resize document

Thanks Harbs, but I already set them all to 0. The weird thing is I 

can change the size in InDesign itself to the value needed without any 

problems.

I have also changed the margins on the master pages too

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi Lindsay.

I managed to get around to getting this sussed.  I think I have it. 

It is all to do with the application margin preferences, and the document margin preferences.

My code below does work, and resets the application margins back too which is useful:

myOldTop = app.marginPreferences.top;
myOldLeft = app.marginPreferences.left;
myOldRight = app.marginPreferences.right;
myOldBottom = app.marginPreferences.bottom;

app.marginPreferences.left = 0;
app.marginPreferences.right = 0;
app.marginPreferences.top = 0;
app.marginPreferences.bottom = 0;

myDoc.marginPreferences.left = 0;
myDoc.marginPreferences.right = 0;
myDoc.marginPreferences.top = 0;
myDoc.marginPreferences.bottom = 0;

myPage = myDoc.pages[0];
myPage.marginPreferences.left = 0;
myPage.marginPreferences.right = 0;
myPage.marginPreferences.top = 0;
myPage.marginPreferences.bottom = 0;

for(i=0;i<=myMasterSpreads.length-1;i++){
     myMasterSpread = myMasterSpreads[i];
     for(x = 0;x<=myMasterSpread.pages.length-1;x++){
          myMasterSpread.pages[x].marginPreferences.right = 0;
          myMasterSpread.pages[x].marginPreferences.left = 0;
          myMasterSpread.pages[x].marginPreferences.top = 0;
          myMasterSpread.pages[x].marginPreferences.bottom = 0;
          }
     }
//do the stuff you need to do

app.marginPreferences.left = myOldLeft;
app.marginPreferences.right = myOldRight;
app.marginPreferences.top = myOldTop;
app.marginPreferences.bottom = myOldBottom;

All the master spreads margins are changed to 0, the document preferences are changed to 0, and the application preferences are changed to 0.  It looks like all these need to be 0 before you can make the small page size.

Obviously I have left out the error controls, the actual resizing bit, but this chunk above manages to sort out the page being resized to a small size.

Let me know if this helps you.

also, and I haven't tested this, but I suspect that the application preferences dont need to be changed, just the page, masterpages and document preferences.

Ah yes.  The same problem tackled in a slightly different way.  Did you get the answer you were looking for? Were you able to sort out your script?

Cheers

Hi Sergey.

Took a look at your site.  Most impressive!  The script I created does what I want, yours is a lot deeper than I needed, but will bear it in mind.

I have taken your crop mark script though, I have a basic version, but your is way better!

Cheers
