Script or utility that sets or recalls view options in multiple documents

Hi @MrZZY, I wrote this script a while ago to do a similar thing to what you want. Perhaps you can try it out and modify it to suit your exact needs? The idea is that you set one document's view how you want it and run the script, and it will try to set all the other open document's views to match the "master" view. See how you go.

function synchronizeAllActiveViews() {

    var masterDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var docs = app.documents;

    // first center and zoom master document
    // (because Indesign doesn't let me move the view!)
    var zoom = masterDoc.layoutWindows[0].zoomPercentage;
    masterDoc.layoutWindows[0].transformReferencePoint = AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR;
    masterDoc.layoutWindows[0].zoom(ZoomOptions.FIT_PAGE);
    masterDoc.layoutWindows[0].zoomPercentage = zoom;

    // apply to each open document
    for (var i = 0; i < docs.length; i++)
        if (docs[i] != masterDoc)
            applyView(docs[i], masterDoc);
