Change Acrobat Cropbox from Javascript for Automation

[Guest]

Hi everyOne

I'm accessing some data inside PDF doc trough Javascript for Automation of OSX

I can get the cropBox.... "var cropBoxx = acro.activeDoc.pages.cropBox();"

But how can i SET the cropbox

"acro.activeDoc.pages.cropBox.value='0, 1224, 192, 612';"...doesn't work

Maybe i'm far of the right way to send data to acrobat

Does someone can guide me

Thanks

Not sure what this is, but it's not JavaScript...

In the (Javascript for Automation) of OSX

var cropBoxx = acro.activeDoc.pages.cropBox();

Return:

..

app = Application("Acrobat")

    Application("Adobe Acrobat Pro").activeDoc.pages.cropBox()

        --> [[0, 1224, 792, 612]]

..

If they call it (Javascript for Automation)

I guess is Javascript

Maybe, but it's not Acrobat JavaScript. Sounds like a scripting language of the OS itself.

Anyway, it seems from your example that you need to specify an array (or an array with an array as the first value).

No.. i know it's not Acrobat javascript

That's why i'v mentionned (Javascript for Automation of OSX)

The javascript side of Applescript ... since Yosemite

I'v tried every possiblilty of 0, 1224, 192, 612 or [0, 1224, 192, 612] or ([0, 1224, 192, 612])

it doesn't work

So maybe Someone else have played with (Javascript for Automation)

and have a answer

Thanks

acro.activeDoc.pages[0].cropBox = [0, 1224, 192, 612];
