Select and Scale ALL object in every pages

[default1h1sa9r0lzzc]

Hi,

I'm looking for a script to select every single object (tiff, eps, ai, text frame, pdf etc..) in every single page of my document and then scaling them of a desired %. (like: "cmd+A --> scale x,y" in the active page and repeat...)

Thank you in advance.

You cn also change pages size with liquid layout option.

Hi, thank you for your suggestion, but liquid layout, when you need to scale graphics and text together, is very messy!

However, I tried this script and works good with images and .ai, but not with text frames! it's a good start!

Thank you.

Quick resize is a very good script, but it scale document and objects together! I need to scale only the content of my pages.

Thank you for your answer.

hi,

try this code:

function myChoice(){
	var myWindow = new Window('dialog','scale objects: '+String(app.activeWindow.transformReferencePoint),undefined)
	myWindow.orientation = 'row'
	myWindow.size = [300,150]

	//  ------- PAGE -------
	var myPagePanel = myWindow.add('panel',undefined,'Page')
	myPagePanel.size = [200,125]
	myPagePanel.alignChildren = 'right'
	var myStartGroup = myPagePanel.add('group')
	myStartGroup.add('statictext',undefined,'Start')
	var startlist = myStartGroup.add('dropdownlist')
	startlist.size = [125,25]
	list_add(startlist,all_page)
	startlist.onChange = list_change

	var myEndGroup = myPagePanel.add('group')
	myEndGroup.add('statictext',undefined,'End')
	var endlist = myEndGroup.add('dropdownlist')
	endlist.size = [125,25]
	list_add(endlist,all_page)
	endlist.onChange = list_change

	//  ------- SCALE -------
	var myScaleGroup = myPagePanel.add('group')
	myScaleGroup.add('statictext',undefined,'Scale')
	var myScale = myScaleGroup.add('edittext')
	myScale.size = [100,25]
	myScale.text = '100'
	myScale.onChanging = myScale_onChanging

	//  ------- BUTTON -------
	var myButton = myWindow.add('button',undefined,'OK')
	myButton.size = [50,40]
	myButton.alignment = 'top'
	myButton.onClick = myButton_click
	
	myWindow.show()

// ______________________________________ EVENTS ______________________________________

	function list_add(mobj,mlist){
		for(var i = 0; i < mlist.length; i++){
			mobj.add('item', mlist[i].appliedSection.name+mlist[i].name)
		}
		mobj.selection = 0
	}
	
	function list_change(){
		if(this.selection == null){this.selection = 0}
	}
	
	function myScale_onChanging(){
		this.text = this.text.replace(/[^\d]+/,'')
	}

	function myButton_click(){
		if(endlist.selection.index >= startlist.selection.index){
			myRez = {
				'page':all_page.slice(startlist.selection.index,endlist.selection.index+1),
				'scale':myScale.text,
			}
			myWindow.close()
		}
		else{alert('End page\nmust be greater (or equal) than\nStart page')}
	}
}

function main(){
	
	var winbar = new Window('palette','scale objects')
	winbar.pro = winbar.add('progressbar', undefined, 0, myRez['page'].length)
	winbar.pro.preferredSize = [300,20]
	winbar.pro_text = 'Page '
	winbar.pro_static = winbar.add('statictext', [10, 10, 310, 25], winbar.pro_text)
	winbar.pro_count = 1
	winbar.show()


	for(var i = 0; i < myRez['page'].length; i++){
		winbar.pro_static.text = winbar.pro_text+myRez['page'][i].name
		winbar.pro.value = winbar.pro_count
		winbar.pro_count++
		winbar.update()

		try{
			myRez['page'][i].pageItems.everyItem().properties = {
				horizontalScale:Number(myRez['scale']),
				verticalScale:Number(myRez['scale'])
			}
		}
		catch(e){}
	}
	winbar.close()
	alert('done!')
}

try{var doc = app.activeDocument}
catch(e){exit()}
var all_page = doc.pages.everyItem().getElements()
var myRez = ''
myChoice()
if(typeof myRez != 'string'){app.doScript('main()', ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, 'scale objects')}

Thank you a lot! It's a great script!

Can I modifiy it for "scaling all objects to the center of the page" and not "to the center of the object itself"?

Thanks again!

You can use these checkboxes:

It's all.

If you want "scaling all objects to the center of the page" the script must parse "all objects" using geometric bounds relative to the page. Maybe someone else will add this processing to the script.
