Which version of Illustrator are you using?
In case it's a recent version, why don't you just use the Artboard tool to change the size of your artboards?

Hi Kurt! I'm using CC 2015 *Mac.
I'm doing some planners in different sizes and I like to use objetcs to move it or change a colour, for example.
I forgot to copy the object (rectangle) and paste it in front before convert to artboard and close the file. So I have to draw the rectangles again. I think in these cases, it would be very useful and fast if we can convert artboards to objects.
Thank you very much for your reply!

use this script, it will draw a rectangle the size of the active artboard.
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var r = idoc.artboards[idoc.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex()].artboardRect;
idoc.pathItems.rectangle(r[1], r[0], r[2]-r[0], r[1]-r[3]);

Paste those 3 lines of code to a text file, save the file with a jsx extension. To use, go to File, Scripts, Other Scripts....and navigate to where you saved the jsx file

This is awesome! Is it also possible to cover the bleed too?
