Hi experts,

my script like this:

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myPage = myDocument.pages.everyItem().getElements();
var myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.add();
myTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0, 0, 280, 210];
myTextFrame.contents = "This is some example text."

but not working, could some one please tell me to fix it.

thanks

regard

John

John,

try looping through the documents pages to add the text frames.

Also you can look at this post how script create text frame ?  as it has a lot of useful information.

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

for(var p=0; p<myDocument.pages.length; p++){

var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages

.textFrames.add();

myTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0, 0, 280, 210];

myTextFrame.contents = "This is some example text.";

}

Regards,

Mike

var myDocument = app.documents[0];//app.activeDocument not working on indesign Server

for(var i=0;i<myDocument .pages.length;i++)

{

myDocument .pages[i].textFrames.add();

}
