New textframe on any page

[Pickory]

Hello,

I am sure this is simple but I have been struggling with it all day.

I want to add a text frame to the top left of any page of my document.

Here is what I have done.

aPage = doc.pages[nn];

. . .

newTextFrame = aPage.textFrames.add( undefined, undefined, undefined, {geometricBounds:["0pt","0pt","100pt","100pt"] } );

I get a textframe on the left page. If the spread has two pages I get two textframes on page 1 of the spread.

Very grateful for any help.

Thanks.

Hi,

guess it's cause of a Spread.origin. try:

currDoc = app.activeDocument;
currOrigin = currDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin;
currDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
currDoc.pages.everyItem().textFrames.add( undefined, undefined, undefined, {geometricBounds:["0pt","0pt","100pt","100pt"] } );
currDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = currOrigin;

Thank you so much!

doc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;

That did the trick.
