Newbie in need of help CENTER_CONTENT

[Paul_Hough]

I am working in Enfocus Switch and have a simple command that I need to execute in indesign (java in CS 5.5) I need to center all object inside their rectangle frame. But I dont know how to select an object in indesign and center the content (using Java). here is my best guess;

>>>   app.activeDocument.activeSpread.fit(FitOptions.CENTER_CONTENT(ALL));   <<<<<<

I understand I am probably way off, any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks,

Paul Hough

Edit: I have figured out how to center the content inside of rectangles:

app.activeDocument.pages[0].rectangles[0].images[0].fit(FitOptions.CENTER_CONTENT);

But, I still dont know how to get a variable with the number of rectangles on a page/doc so I can create a loop.

Any tips or pointer are appreciated

try this:

app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem().rectangles.everyItem().images[0].fit(FitOptions.CEN TER_CONTENT);

assuming you have ony images in your doc.

otherwise, you can loop to the pages and rectangles collections (for this you can treat them like an array; for (var i=0; i<pages.length; i++){ myPage=pages; do something bla bla}

Hi Paul

app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem().splineItems.everyItem().images.everyItem().fit(FitOptions.CENTER_CONTENT);

Will apply to all placed images outside  groups

app.activeDocument.pages.everyItem().groups.everyItem().splineItems.everyItem().images.everyItem().fit(FitOptions.CENTER_CONTENT);

Will apply to all the items in groups

The above is in Java Script and not Java.
