Hi @chrisnaylor , try the resize() method. This is JS
//6"x9" page. By default the resize() method expects points
var w = 432
var h = 648
//the document‘s first masterSpread
var myLP=app.activeDocument.masterSpreads[0].pages[0];
var myRP=app.activeDocument.masterSpreads[0].pages[1];
myLP.resize (CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES,AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR,ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH,[w,h])
myRP.resize (CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES,AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR,Resiz

still doesn't work with Print Booklet if the document is resized before the new page is added.
It works for me. I added the code to change the Document Setup in case the added pages had no Parent—[None]—you would need both the documentPreference and the resize.
Your template:
After running last JS script—Document Setup and Page dimensions match:
Adding 6 pages with no master Print Booklet works:
Many thanks for your postings.
I have tried the following VBScript code:
'Check for unequal page sizes:
For a=2 to myDocument.pages.count
mySizeArray1=myDocument.pages(a-1).bounds
mySizeArray2=myDocument.pages(a).bounds
myPageWidth1=mySizeArray1(3)-mySizeArray1(1)
myPageWidth2=mySizeArray2(3)-mySizeArray2(1)
myPageHeight1=mySizeArray1(2)-mySizeArray1(0)
myPageHeight2=mySizeArray2(2)-mySizeArray2(0)
MsgBox "myDocument.pages = " & mypageWidth1 & " x " & mypageHeight1 & vbCR & mypageWidth2 & " x " & mypageHeight2 , ,MessageTitle
If (mypagewidth1<>mypagewidth2) Or (mypageheight1<>mypageheight2) then
Msgbox "pages " & (a-1) & " " & a & " are different" & vbCR & "myDocument.pages = " & mypageWidth1 & " x " & mypageHeight1 & vbCR & mypageWidth2 & " x " & mypageHeight2 , ,MessageTitle
else
Msgbox "page sizes ok"
End if
Next
But I got a very strange result:
It reports the page sizes as the same in the MsgBox, but it seems to fail when it compares them.
I don’t think you need to extract the width and height, just compare the bounds array. This tells me the page bounds match
var p = app.activeDocument.pages;
for (var i = 0; i < p.length; i++){
if (p[i].bounds.toString() != p[0].bounds.toString()) {
alert("Document Pages Don’t Match")
exit();
}
}
alert("Document Pages Match")
Many thanks for your posting.
I have tried printing to Adobe pdf and, also, to other printers in case it was a driver problem - but with no success.
Hi @chrisnaylor ,
now I did a second test:
[1] Changed the rulers to Points
[2] Ran Rob's script on the document ( the one posted as "Correct" )
[3] Added 6 pages to the document through the Pages panel
Printed to PostScript with Print Booklet.
I had an issue with page 1. The page did not show the page number from the applied master spread.
Solved this by applying master [None] and again A Master. Here I got a message that the page is in a different format, but that was no real issue, because I decided to change the page size according to the applied master:
Still page 1 had no page number.
I removed page 1 and added a new page before my first page in the document.
Now all went OK and I was able to use Print Booklet as intended:
Applied the document, the PostScript file and the distilled PDF.
