"redefine scalling at 100%" a complete indd document??'

Question

Hi Scripting Magicians

I usually need to resize a lot of text - so it turns that dobble sizing 5 pt (5,6 pt) that makes me crazy - since i can't avoid that happening i need to "redefine scalling at 100%" but that only works in a single spread by spread. is any script that could apply that to a complete document??'

thanks

Rui

I see the mistake I made. Here's an updated version for the last two:

allItems = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;

l = allItems.length;

for (i = 0; i < l; i++){

allItems.redefineScaling();

}

Finally, if you want the more thorough option, i.e. all text frames

(including in groups, etc.) but only text frames, not graphics, try this:

allItems = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;

l = allItems.length;

for (i = 0; i < l; i++){

if (allItems instanceof TextFrame) allItems.redefineScaling();

}

Well, if it's just text frames, this 1-liner should do it:app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().redefineScaling();See, scripting is easy However, note that the above will probably not work with text frames in groups, tables, footnotes, etc.If you want something more thorough, including all text frames, all graphics, etc., this is the way to do it:allItems = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;l = allItems.length;for (i = 0; i < l; i++){allItems.redefineScaling();}Finally, if you want the more thorough option, i.e. all text frames (including in groups, etc.) but only text frames, not graphics, try this:allItems = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;l = allItems.length;for (i = 0; i < l; i++){if (allItems instanceof TextFrame) allItems.redefineScaling();}I haven't tested any of these. Hopefully they should work, but if not, tell us about the bug here!HTH!
