Setting the bleed in AI via Javascript

[matts45635225]

Hi All,

I'm writing a function to change the artboard size and add bleed depending on certain conditions.

I can't actually believe this is causing me trouble but here it is, I'm trying to set the bleed dimensions in AI document with Javascript. All I've found so far is setting up PDF export options or print options, but not the actual artboard Document Setup. I just want to be able to set bleed to a newly created document like in this window:

So similar to Indesign:

with(myDocument.documentPreferences){
  documentBleedUniformSize = true;
  documentBleedTopOffset = 7;
  }

Even though a solution exists, we need a simple way to access theese.

Yes, definitely wish it was baked into extendscript and we didn't have to go to such ends to modify bleed. The bleed Plugin does not work on Apple Silicon macs so the hacky way of doing things by no means covers all the bases. It is really less and less of a solution as time goes by.
