Fill Proportionally all anchored frames to content

[Guest]

Hi,

there's a way to Fill all anchored text Frame Proportionally to content  (> 1000 anchored frames)?

Thanks for help

I'm not sure to understand what you mean by "Fill proportionally to content", but you can fit (anchored text) frames to content:

var isAnchoredTextFrame = function(o)
     {
     if (o.constructor != TextFrame) return false;
     return (o.parent.constructor == Character);
     }

var pItems = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;

while (p=pItems.pop())
     if (isAnchoredTextFrame(p))
          p.fit(FitOptions.frameToContent);

There may be a better way to implement isAnchoredTextFrame(). Our fellow scripters will tell us...

The OP might mean

p.fit (FitOptions.FILL_PROPORTIONALLY);

I see nothing wrong with your way of collecting anchored frames 🙂

In a text frame ??

Huh. I should've read more than just the title 😛 (After reading the entire post -- guess you're right...)

I think the most direct (and quickest) way is:

app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem();

Aw Shucks!

But don't forget that before CS3, the textFrames of a story were what is now the textContainers...

I think that for it to work in CS2, you had to do:

doc.stories.everyItem().texts.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem();

But my memory might be faulty on the exact working code...
