Hi, i am trying to set the document size in a .jsx file and for miullimeters when i check from Photoshop the image size the dimensions are different

preferences.rulerUnits = Units.MM
//2. Create a new document
var docRef = documents.add(210,297,72 )

in PS 5.5 i get the size 209.9 297.04 ,is there a way to acive the exact dimension?

Thx.

P.S. This is my first post on Adobe forums so excuse me  if i did something wrong

Correct answer Paul Riggott

What you are seeing is a rounding of size/pixels/resolution

You will get a closer result ..


preferences.rulerUnits = Units.MM;
//2. Create a new document
var docRef = documents.add(210,297,1000 );


You had it set to 72 pixels per inch hence the rounding to nearest size.

IS the resolution important when working with MM?I want to create a script that will setup the document size for eexample A4 to exact like you have selected A4 from the PS new document dialog.

Thx

Resolution is only important if you are going to print your document, for screen/web it doesn't matter if its 1 or 10,000 pixels per inch. If it's for print you need to work on the document with the required resolution for printing.
