How to expand all frames in the document using a script?

graphicsoc Jan 31, 2012 2:08 PM

Hi,

I have used the ImageCatalog script to place a 1000+ images of different dimensions in the document. On the ImageCatalog dialog box, I have unchecked the Proportional and Frame to Content option to place the images in 100%. I am looking for a way to expand all the graphic frames to reveal all the images it placed on the document. When you double-click the bottom-right handle, it would expand the frame to see the full content. (it would time consuming when you do this one by one)

Let me know. Thank you very much.

If I understand you correctly, you placed the images without using Fit Frame To Contents and now you are trying to rectify this? Do you get that making just the frames larger, at this point, may make them overlapping others? If that's going to be a problem, just run the script again but this time with the correct settings ...

Anyhow. Typing on my iPad so I can't check; but something in the lines of

g = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
for (i=0; i<g.length; i++)
g[i].fit (FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
