Hi,

not exactly what you want, but a good start to begin with:

But be forewarned* :

apply master page after page size change

*Peter Kahrel is using method resize() instead of reframe(), but I think, that's the same dangerous sport if it comes to documents with facing pages documents and applied masters. Also consider elements that will wrap text, that should not move relative to the selected text frame. Or: text that is forced to the document's baseline grid. Especially inspect baselineGridRelativeOption or baselineStart that should be changed as well so that with a changing page size the grid will not move relative to the selected text frame.

I already need something like this, to a non-specific document (without all the dangers Uwe pointed).

So, try it. I'll be glad if it works for you too.
