Question

Looking for a good script? One click to hold up to type area, columns, and pages?

Sorry, I feel guilty.

I don't know how to express it.
Translations are sometimes wrong because of language differences.

 

The idea is actually very simple, but very useful.
Hopefully the images and scripts share a script.
There is three cases: Fit  to  columns, type area( layout area? ) and page margins

 

If it's a text frame, it aligns to the column width.
If it's an image, it's scaled up or down to the column width.

 

 

In my sample, pages 2-8, 1-3 scenarios are provided.

My ID-Tasker will do this easily - either on the current selection or pre-filtered objects from the document(s) - and a lot more - but isn't free.

I also wrote a script that automatically aligns all objects to their nearest margin, column grid or page edge:

Your script is not responding.

I assume you have selected at least one object, as indicated in the instructions and accompanying video. Or, you know, you could just setup object styles and configure them the way you want and hockey them. 


The posting is common, quickly help top.
What a useful skill, but there is no response from the gods, for the benefit of thousands of working people.
I hope Adobe will come with this feature someday.
