Another "Fit text frame to content" issue

I had this kind of issue recently and my workaround was first to exagerately expand the text frame and then call pageItem.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);

Hope it helps

You only need to change the ones with overflows == true

Hi,

try the js code for removing the oversets through out the document.

  var myTFs = app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();

    for (var i=0; i<myTFs.length; i++) {

            myTFs[i].fit( FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT );

            var gb = myTFs[i].geometricBounds;

            while (myTFs[i].overflows) {

                        gb[3]++;

                        gb[2]++;

                        myTFs[i].geometricBounds = gb;

                    }

            }

Thank you for your time again, Jongware! I already do have bookmarked your amazing resourse... The problem is, I still lack some basics to use it efficiently.

You're welcome. What do you think is missing? I don't use the on-line version myself, I use the WinHelp (and on the Mac, Robin Lu's iChm) version so I have a Full Text Search as well. That saved my bacon a couple of times. You can download this from my web page: http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html

It's just a command reference. For tutorials, you're better off with Adobe's own Beginning Scripting guide.
