Fit length of frame to text

[jay fresno]

Does anyone know of a script for InDesign CS4 that will lengthen all the frames (vertically) throughout a document to fit the text when there is overset text and shorten the frame when the text doesn't fill out the full height of the frame?

try below one

var myDoc =  app.activeDocument;

var mytextframe = myDoc.textFrames;

for (a=0; a<mytextframe.length; a++)

{

mytextframe.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT)

}

it will work if your text frame fit within your page else it leave as overset text frame.

Can you let it only target

Currently selected text box

Instead of all the text of the current document

This will help me thank all that can solve this problem.

I hope someone can modify it.

Let it only target the currently selected object

Try the following

if(app.selection.length > 0)
     app.selection[0].fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT)
else
     alert("Please select an object before running the script")

Thank you very much, he is very effective.

But if multiple objects are selected, can they be adjusted together?

[Manan Joshi]

Here you go

if(app.selection.length == 0) 
     alert("Please select an object before running the script")
else
{
    for(var i = 0; i < app.selection.length; i++)
          if(app.selection.constructor.name == "TextFrame")
              app.selection.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT)
}
