Question

Redefine Scaling to 100%

Hi everyone,

I am retrofitting a document. All the objects when selected show an annoying scaling percentage number.

I would like to script through the whole document and reset all objects to 100%. I do not want to do this one object at a time. A contributor named vinny in 2017 offered this script solution:

scaledElements = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;

for (i = 0; i < scaledElements.length; i++) {

    scaledElements.redefineScaling();

}

But it doesn't work in 2025. Can you help edit it?

Hi Mike,

Try this (I haven't tested it though):

scaledElements = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;
for (i = 0; i < scaledElements.length; i++) {
    if (scaledElements[i].hasOwnProperty("redefineScaling")) scaledElements[i].redefineScaling();
}
