Resizing Active Document Pages

Hello All,

I would like to resize Active document pages which are non-A4 letter size into A4 letter size using vbscript.

Can someone please suggest how to do this or any references for this?

Thanks,

Shail

Resizing Active Document Pages

in JS you would do:

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

myDocument.documentPreferences.pageSize = ''A4''; // I dont know if this requires a preset of the name A4 to exist, else use pageHeight and pageSize instead.

Resizing Active Document Pages

Hello Nielsen,

Is this also resize the text frames?

Thanks,

No it will not resize any content - I think you should have a look at the option found in Indesign under ''Layout -%26gt; Layout adjustment'', i guess this is what you are looking for.

I have not tested, but perhaps enabling the layout adjustment, will also take effekt when changing doc size from scripting.

Try it :-)

Just FYI, in Javascript that would be

app.activeDocument.layoutAdjustmentPreferences.enableLayoutAdjustment = true;

Change the camelCase where necessary
