Resetting Rulers Guide color

[jctremblay]

The Indesign scripting guide contain a useful snippet to create guide with a specific UIColor. But is it possible to reset all rulers guides currently in the document to a specific color? This shall be easy, but can’t figure it out now. Any idea how this can be achieved?

Below code change document guide color from pages only. Leave Masterpage guides.

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var myPages = myDoc.pages;

for(a=0; a<myPages.length; a++)

{

myPages.guides.everyItem().guideColor = UIColors.FIESTA;// change your color as you want

}

Shonky, thanks for the snippet code. I guest it’s not an easy task to make it works on both masters and regular pages. That’s would be useful for now. Thanks!

Now below code work on both pages and masterpages

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var myPages = myDoc.pages;

var myMasterspreads = myDoc.masterSpreads;

for(p=0; p<myPages.length; p++)

{

myPages

.guides.everyItem().guideColor = UIColors.FIESTA;// change your color as you want

}

for(m=0; m<myMasterspreads.length; m++)

{

myMasterspreads.guides.everyItem().guideColor = UIColors.FIESTA;// change your color as you want

}
