You didn't answer my question. If you're looking for someone to write a script for you, you should state that clearly. And you should also state clearly what exactly you want: from your screen shot it's not clear how much should be taken off.

I'm pretty sure he / she is looking for an automatic way to crop white space 😉 like you can do in Photoshop when you select around the object 😉 but of course is not possible.

Thanks! Perter Kahrel

Also, my main concern, I need to crop for the left and right white space. Please see my screenshot (Please see "Crop" bottom of the left and right text) this type of cropping, I want to do.

This is possible?

Thanks in Advance,

Well, sure. Do you know geometricBounds? They are the top, left, bottom and right of a frame, in that order. So if you want to crop left and right, you change the second (left) and fourth (right) values:

app.selection[0].geometricBounds = [gb, gb[1]+6, gb[2], gb[3]-6];

An image is a graphic file inside a rectangle. You crop the image by changing the geometric bounds of the rectangle. For example, to crop an image by 6 millimeters on all sides, do this (assuming your measurement units are millimeters):

gb = app.selection[0].geometricBounds;
app.selection[0].geometricBounds = [gb[0]+6, gb[1]+6, gb[2]-6, gb[3]-6];
