Question

Unexpected Change in Frame Position

Hello,

I'm having a problem with frames changing position on a document after save. On the document pages, some frames from master pages, located on the right pages, undergo a translation and overflow onto the left-hand pages. If I export to IDML, page number frames are also affected. On master pages, corresponding frames are in the right place.

I experimented from Roundup #6 by @Marc Autret which seems to talk about this problem. But so far, I haven't solved anything.

This document has already been resized by a homemade script, with documentPreferences. I also used the resize() method with CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES for some specific master pages. Most of the time, my layers are locked.

Can this type of edit disrupt some document inner properties?

Could anyone advise me on this?

I will present my progress. After several tests, I noticed that the problem arises when I delete an odd number of pages. If so, some frames located after the deleted page(s) will have their positions reshuffled. If I delete two pages at once (e.g. 15-16) or any other even number (e.g. 15-24) using the InDesign interface, the frames remain well positioned, probably because they stay on the right side.

In summary, if I delete page 15, then delete page 15 again, the frames that follow are shifted and disconnected from the master page. If I delete pages 15-16 in a single command, the frames that follow remain in the correct place and connected to the master page.
