Applescript - get T/B/L/R values of the margins on a page

[lucas_maximus]

Hi all,

I have a simple applescript below that gets me the margin information of an InDesign page I have open.

The problem is, if I create a page and then change the margins at a later stage, the margins only ever return the original value. Is there any way to get the 'live' value of the margins actually present on the page?

Thanks!

tell application id "com.adobe.InDesign"
	tell active document
		
		tell margin preferences
			set MarginTop to top
			set MarginLeft to left
			set MarginBottom to bottom
			set MarginRight to right
		end tell
		
	end tell
	
end tell

Hi Lucas,

margin preferences are available for application, document and page.

Right now you are looking at the preferences for document.
