Hello all,
I'm looking for a script to set multiple artboard sizes to specific dimensions.
Luckily I found this script, but unfortunately it's in Chinese.
Is there a similar script or can someone edit the code for translation?
Thanks in advance
Thanks to @CarlosCanto I can used and it seems to work fine.
// script.name = resizeArtboards_CS4andUp.jsx;
// script.description = resizes all artboards;
// script.requirement = one document with at least one artboard;
// script.parent = carlos canto // 11/4/12;
// script.elegant = false;
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
//alert("more than 0");
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var title = "Resize All Artboards";
var width = Number(Window.promp
...

Hi @MidoSemsem, do you just want to use it? If so see below. Or do you want to adapt the code for your own use? In that case, you don't need to translate the Chinese, you need to translate the binary encoding! Which is harder.
I don't read Chinese, but the script was easy to use. I ran it, entered the artboard size I wanted, select which artboards (script calls them "pages") and whether it sizes the artboards from top left (default is center) and pressed Enter. (Buttons are equivalent of "Cancel" and "OK".
I sense that this won't be a satisfactory answer for you and, if so, so please outline your exact needs.

Thanks @m1b
I'm learning how to use it by trial. I want to make it easier for my junior coworkers to use with knowledge instead of testing.

var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var title = "Resize All Artboards";
var width = Number(Window.prompt ("Enter New Artboard Width in points", 612, title));
var height = Number(Window.prompt ("Enter New Artboard Height in points", 792, title));
for (i=0; i<idoc.artboards.length; i++) {
var abBounds = idoc.artboards[i].artboardRect;// left, top, right, bottom
var ableft = abBounds[0]; // 0
var abtop = abBounds[1]; // 612
var abwidth = abBounds[2] - ableft; // 792 // width
var abheight = abtop- abBounds[3]; // 0 // height
var abctrx = abwidth/2+ableft;
var abctry = abtop-abheight/2;
var ableft = abctrx-width/2;
var abtop = abctry+height/2;
var abright = abctrx+width/2;
var abbottom = abctry-height/2;
idoc.artboards[i].artboardRect = [ableft, abtop, abright, abbottom];
}
}
else {
alert ("there are no open documents");
}
The main advantage of the first script is about details and options available.
I hope CarlosCanto's version will be updated
