Align TextFrame to page margins with JS

[indesign2000]

If i have the above page and a textframe in the center what is the javascript code to align / fit the textframe to the page margins ?

[Kasyan Servetsky]

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var page = doc.pages[0];
var textFrame = page.textFrames[0];
textFrame.geometricBounds = myGetBounds(doc, page);

function myGetBounds(myDocument, myPage){
     var myPageWidth = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
     var myPageHeight = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight
     if(myPage.side == PageSideOptions.leftHand){
          var myX2 = myPage.marginPreferences.left;
          var myX1 = myPage.marginPreferences.right;
     }
     else{
          var myX1 = myPage.marginPreferences.left;
          var myX2 = myPage.marginPreferences.right;
     }
     var myY1 = myPage.marginPreferences.top;
     var myX2 = myPageWidth - myX2;
     var myY2 = myPageHeight - myPage.marginPreferences.bottom;
     return [myY1, myX1, myY2, myX2];
}

Hi I know this is from 2010! But I need to apply your code to every pages.

How to do that?

Thank you!

Hey!

You can do it like this:

var myPage = app.activeWindow.activePage;
var myMargins = myPage.marginPreferences;
if(app.selection.length){
    app.selection[0].geometricBounds = [myPage.bounds[0]+myMargins.top,myPage.bounds[1]+myMargins.left,myPage.bounds[2]-myMargins.bottom,myPage.bounds[3]-myMargins.right];
}else{
    myPage.textFrames[0].geometricBounds = [myPage.bounds[0]+myMargins.top,myPage.bounds[1]+myMargins.left,myPage.bounds[2]-myMargins.bottom,myPage.bounds[3]-myMargins.right];
}
