Enlarge Graphic Frame Slightly After Fitting Frame to Image

Hi @gplumblee, here is a quick script that may help. It will expand all graphics rectangles in document by 1 point on each side. Let me know if it works in your case. You can change the expansion by editing the "margin" variable declaration.

function main() {

    // expand frames by this amount (in points)
    var margin = 1;

    var doc = app.activeDocument,
        frames = doc.rectangles;

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

        if (
            !frames[i].hasOwnProperty('allGraphics')
            || frames[i].allGraphics.length == 0
        )
            continue;

        var b = frames[i].geometricBounds;

        frames[i].geometricBounds = [
            b[0] - margin,
            b[1] - margin,
            b[2] + margin,
            b[3] + margin,
        ];

    }
