Try this,
var doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.millimeters;
doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.millimeters;
for(var i =0;i<doc.pages.length;i++)
{
alert("Page Width : " + doc.pages.bounds[3] + "\rPage Height : " + doc.pages.bounds[2] )
}

Forgot to mention - thanks to the ObjectStyle - you can set your own properties, including ParaStyle to format text.

i made the variable "PageSize"
and the code is from this thread

Can you share your INDD document - part of it?
no problem
this file already has the pagesize written but it was made manualy and i want a fix for future work - making it automaticly

Sorry for the later reply.
In your document - you don't have this Text Variable defined:
So I have a similar error:
But after adding this Variable:
I have this - "><" are mine:
But like I've said earlier - the way this code works - it will "remember" size of the LAST page in the document - and will show the same value on every page.
You need a different script.
The MOST LAZY 😄 solution that I can think of would be to just declare multiple Text Variables in your document:
Then modify your script like this:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.inches;
doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.inches
for(var i =0;i<doc.pages.length;i++)
{
pagesize = app.activeDocument.textVariables.itemByName("PageSize_"+(i+1));
pagesize.variableOptions.contents = doc.pages[i].bounds[2] + "in x " + doc.pages[i].bounds[3] + "in"
}
Of course you don't have to add "_" - you can add number straight after "PageSize" - it's just for better visibility.
Oh but I have documents with 100 different pages so I don't think this can work for it
but thank you for trying I really appreciate it

Would be much easier if you were working on a PC...
I'll try to convert it to a version that will work with a dedicated TextFrame - but I'm not JS guy so it can take me a bit.

Here is script for you:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var myTF = '';
var myName = 'Page Size';
try
{
doc.layers.itemByName(myName).locked = false;
doc.layers.itemByName(myName).remove();
}
catch (e) {};
try
{
var myLayer = doc.layers.add({name:myName});
}
catch (e)
{
var myLayer = doc.layers.itemByName(myName);
};
try
{
var myObjStyle = doc.objectStyles.add({name:myName});
}
catch (e)
{
var myObjStyle = doc.objectStyles.itemByName(myName);
};
doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.inches;
doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.inches
var myDocRulerOrigin = doc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin;
doc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
var myDocZeroPoint = doc.zeroPoint;
doc.zeroPoint = [0,0];
for(var i =0;i<doc.pages.length;i++)
{
myTF = doc.pages[i].textFrames.add(myLayer);
myTF.geometricBounds = [-1,0,-0.5,1];
myTF.parentStory.contents = doc.pages[i].bounds[2].toFixed(3) + "in x " + doc.pages[i].bounds[3].toFixed(3) + "in";
myTF.appliedObjectStyle = myObjStyle;
}
doc.zeroPoint = myDocZeroPoint;
doc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = myDocRulerOrigin;
doc.layers.itemByName(myName).locked = true;
var myLayerName = 'Page Size';
name of the Layer your TFs will be placed on - you can change to whatever you prefer.
Script will DELETE this Layer every time you run script - so you don't have to remove it manually - but it also means that you SHOULDN'T put there your own objects.
But, just in case, script is locking this Layer - for your convenience.
This line defines size and location of the TFs:
myTF.geometricBounds = [0,0,1,2];
In [ ] you can enter your own location and size:
[top, left, bottom, right]
Those are absolute coordinates - not (x,y) and (width,height).
Script will apply ObjectStyle - same name as your Layer - and also preserve ZeroPoint and RulerOrigin - so your TFs are always in the top-left corner of the page - but as mentioned above - you can set your own values for the location and size.
This:
myTF.geometricBounds = [-1,0,-0.5,1];
will give you this:
- one inch above the page,
- aligned with the left edge of the page,
- bottom of the TF will be half inch above the top edge of the page,
- right edge of the TF will be one inch from the left edge of the page.
So in the end - half inch high and one inch wide.
