Need script to change page size to items on page in batch

[jasons5017064]

I have multiple InDesign files that I use to create a brandmarks. Each brandmark is different size. I need help with a script that will change the page size to the items on the page, save, close and move on to the next document. Any help out there is appreciated.

Hi @jasons5017064 , You would have to use the resize method, in order to resize a page to its contents. A simple example would be something like this where I’m resizing page 1 to its page items. I’m grouping the page items to get their combined width and height, which might be a problem if you are depending on multiple document layers:

//use points for page resize
app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = MeasurementUnits.POINTS;

var d = app.activeDocument;
d.zeroPoint = [0, 0];
var p = d.pages[0]
var api = p.pageItems;
var tg;
if (api.length == 1) {
	tg = api[0]
} else {
    //group page items to get bounds—moves everything to top layer, is that OK?
    tg = d.groups.add(api);
}
//get the group’s width and height
var b = tg.geometricBounds;
var h = b[2] - b[0]
var w = b[3] - b[1]
//resize the page
p.resize (CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES,AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR,ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH,[w,h])

tg.move([0,0])

app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = AutoEnum.AUTO_VALUE;
