Hi all,

I want to place my text frame below my master spread on slug area at fixed position.

But I have different page sizes documents. How can I define text frame position with my master spread bottom margin so that I can use only one script for all my documents?

Please give me a code/sample.

Thanks,

Mon

Correct answer Harbs.

Thanks Herbs, but it gives error "getBottomMarginPosition is not a function".

Please help.

You need to copy the function from above...

Legend

function getBottomMarginPosition(page){

return page.bounds[2] - page.marginPreferences.bottom;

}

Thanks for your reply on this.

How can I use your code in my script. Please guide me. See my code below:

var myLayer=myDocument.layers[1];

var myMasterSpread = myDocument.masterSpreads.item(0);

var myLeftPage = myMasterSpread.pages.item(0);

var myLeftSlug = myLeftPage.textFrames.add();

myLeftSlug.itemLayer=myLayer;

myLeftSlug.geometricBounds = [255, 0, 258, 80];

I need to replace my Top value with page bottom margin + 1mm. So that my text frames sit on my slug area.

Thanks,

Mon

Legend

var bot = getBottomMarginPosition(myLeftPage);
myLeftSlug.geometricBounds = [bot, 0, bot+3, 80];

Hi Mon,

Look at the marginPreferences property...

var TopValue = myCurrentPage.marginPreferences.top;

var BottomValue = myCurrentPage.marginPreferences.bottom;
