Yeah it would be great if the placed page content was placed at the bleed bounds rather than page bounds.
I've tweaked the script so that it takes the bleed from 'Doc1' and checks that 'Doc2' has the same size bleed. I've also tweaked it so that the bleed amount is added into the newly created document. However i'm just not sure how to specify the position of the place page content.
My tweaked script is here.
(function() {
if (app.documents.length != 2) {
alert("Please open two InDesign documents and try again."); return;
} else {
var doc1 = app.documents[0];
var doc2 = app.documents[1];
if (checkPageSizes(doc1, doc2)) {
// docs have same page sizes
var pHt = doc1.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
var pWd = doc1.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
var myDocBleed = doc1.documentPreferences.documentBleedTopOffset;
if (!doc1.saved || !doc2.saved) {
if (!confirm("Both documents will be saved before closing. Continue?")) {
return;
}
}
var doc1Lim = doc1.pages.length;
var doc2Lim = doc2.pages.length;
var file1 = doc1.fullName;
var file2 = doc2.fullName;
doc2.close(SaveOptions.yes);
doc1.close(SaveOptions.yes);
app.documentPreferences.facingPages = false;
newDoc = app.documents.add();
newDoc.documentPreferences.documentBleedTopOffset = myDocBleed;
newDoc.documentPreferences.documentBleedUniformSize = true;
newDoc.documentPreferences.properties = {
pagesPerDocument:Math.max(doc1Lim, doc2Lim)*2,
pageHeight:pHt,
pageWidth:pWd
}
app.importedPageAttributes.importedPageCrop = ImportedPageCropOptions.cropBleed;
var j = 0;
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
while (true) {
app.importedPageAttributes.pageNumber = j + 1;
if (doc1Lim > j) {
newDoc.pages[j * 2].place(file1);
}
app.importedPageAttributes.pageNumber = j + 1;
if (doc2Lim > j) {
newDoc.pages[(j * 2) + 1].place(file2);
}
j++;
if (j > Math.max(doc1Lim,doc2Lim)) break;
}
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;
} else {
alert("The two documents must have the same page size and bleed amount. Change these and re-run the script."); return;
}
}
function checkPageSizes(doc1, doc2) {
var d1ht = doc1.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
var d1wd = doc1.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
var d1bleed = doc1.documentPreferences.documentBleedTopOffset;
var d2ht = doc2.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
var d2wd = doc2.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
var d2bleed = doc2.documentPreferences.documentBleedTopOffset;
if (d1ht != d2ht) return false;
if (d1wd != d2wd) return false;
if (d1bleed != d2bleed) return false;
return true;
}
}())
