Select the block of text on each page of a sudden and resize them

Hello, I want to do a 400 pages of text. How can I select the block of text on each page of a sudden and change their size at the same time? (each block of text is the same size per page)

Make a backup copy of the file incase something goes wrong, then:

Ensure that executives align on the margins on all sides - change margins of the master page applied to achieve, if necessary.

Allow the adjustment of the layout (layout > setting layout...)

On the master page, change the margins to be the size you want the new text frame dimensions to be.

If, for some strange reason, you won't use these margin settings in the layout, turn off the setting of page layout and reset them on the master page again to what you want.

  • [CS6] Select the block of text with a certain height and move it to a specific location?

    I have a bunch of labels on page that I need to move. All these labels are the same height (0.125 in.) so what I think is that a script could go on each page and find the article on this basis, select it, and finally, move it to a specific location of XY with a right anchor point. It would be very difficult to do? I think it would be a rather simple script.

    Thanks for any help you can give!

    No problem getting the height of a selected image and looking for images with the same height. Here is a sample script:

    (function(){
    
        function frameHeight (frame) {
            var gb = frame.geometricBounds;
            return (gb[2]-gb[0]).toFixed(3);
        }
    
        function moveFrames (h) {
            var pItems = app.documents[0].pageItems.everyItem().getElements();
            for (var i = pItems.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
                if (frameHeight (pItems[i]) === h) {
                    pItems[i].move ([0,0]);
                }
            }
        }
    
        if (app.selection.length > 0 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty('geometricBounds')) {
            var h = frameHeight (app.selection[0]);
            moveFrames (h);
        }
    
    }());
    

    This move of the elements on the page with the same height as the photo selected to the top left of the page. See the move() command line 12. You can substitute your own coordinates [0,0].

  • Automatically add the blocks of text or pages

    Greetings,

    I would like to know if it is possible for InDesign (either automatically or by script) to add any columns or pages if the content exceeds the width/height of the text frame.

    overlaping text frame.png

    The content is imported via the import option in XML format. My layout is composed of 6 columns per page. When I import the xml into the gray text block, the framework grows in height that overlap the next block of text instead of "push," as I want it too. It is the same for the other blocks of text.

    Is it possible to automatically add text blocks to fit the content and/or the pages?

    That's what I mean, but you will need to click on a place that does not already have a block of text (a new page or an empty column) and autoflow will add as many pages as needed from there.

  • by selecting all the blocks of text on all visible layers

    I want to select all the blocks of text on all visible layers.

    the script below will select all the blocks of text, even in groups, but if the layer with the text is invisible the script error. (target layer cannot be changed)

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var numTextFrames = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

    textArtRange = doc.textFrames [i];

    textArtRange.selected = true;

    }

    }

    So I made this script to select blocks of text on only visible layers, but now missing text belonging to a group.

    var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;

    var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;

    for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i ++)

    {

    currentLayer = activeDocument.layers [i];

    If (currentLayer.visible == visible)

    {

    for (j = 0; j < currentLayer.textFrames.length; j ++) {}

    textArtRange = currentLayer.textFrames [j];

    textArtRange.selected = true;

    }

    }

    }

    can someone tell me why it is not some frames of text bound in a group when made this way and is it possible to get all managers of related texts selected on all visible layers?

    Thank you

    Duane

    Try this:

    if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
        var doc = app.activeDocument;

  • I can auto adjust all the blocks of text with overset text?

    Due to several factors (change computers, versions of different fonts, etc.), I had to change most of the fonts in my text-heavy document.

    There are a lot of charts and tables in this 125-page document, and now most of all text frames have overset text.

    The new font is in fact identical to the previous one, however, there are a few differences that are causing it take more text frames. I tried to adjust the line spacing in my character and paragraph styles, but these do not seem to effect.

    Is there a way to automatically adjust all frames in excess to account for the new font?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure that the result will be 100% desirable, but there is a way to define all frames to auto-size...

    Run find/replace and choose the tab object.

    Down, choose the Document research: menu. Choose the blocks of text such as: menu.

    Click the icon of glass/frame next to the search Object Format field:

    In the Options of Format object search dialog box, choose Auto setting 'Off' on the text size Options > menu automatic sizing:

    Click OK, and then click the icon / window next to the subject of change Format field:

    In the change object Format Options dialog box, choose 'Height' only on the text size Options framework Auto > auto-size menu, and then click the up button in the Center in the framework - pinning proxy:

    Note: Another option for pinning would be better according to your presentations, but this setting will make executives grow at the bottom, which seems the most logical... in most cases.

    Click OK, and then change all.

  • Select all blocks of text related

    2 suppose that if we choose all the blocks of text, it is possible to set the height for all blocks of text such as 3 p or 4 p etc...

    Try the script to select all the linked text frames:

    If you want to do is make managers of related related texts have all the same height, here's a way to do it:

    If (app.selection.length == 0) {}

    Alert ("Please select a textFrame before running this script");

    Exit();

    }

    mySelection var = app.selection [0];

    If (!) mySelection instanceof TextFrame))) {}

    Alert ("Please select a TextFrame before running this script");

    Exit();

    }

    var mySelection.parentStory = monarticle;

    var myFrames = myStory.textContainers;

    var nFrames = myFrames.length;

    for (ix var = 0; ix)< nframes;="" ix++)="">

    var myFrame = myFrames [ix];

    var limit = myFrame.geometricBounds;

    delimits [2] = limits [0] + 4;          Set the TextFrame 4 height units

    myFrame.geometricBounds = limit;

  • Deleting all the blocks of text hidden unexpectedly removes blocks of text embedded (but visible). Why?

    I try to use the code below to remove all the blocks of text hidden in a document. It is works quite well, BUT for some reason, removes the visible anchor text blocks.

    (the argument currentTextFrame.length is to prevent it remove hidden text blocks if the content is threaded, in which case the text is redéroule then in blocks of text that is visible.) I need to find a solution to this, but it's tomorrow problem.)

    I have a similar function to allGraphics and does not remove the anchored frames.

    Can someone point me in the right direction? I can add a check to see if the text block is anchored, but I fear that I might get bored the biggest problem.

    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    var myTextFrames = myDocument.stories.everyItem().textContainers.reverse();
    var myTextFramesLength = myTextFrames.length;
    for ( i = 0; i < myTextFramesLength; i++ ){

    Hi Naomi,

    and there is an array of arrays with:

    myDocument.stories.everyItem().textContainers
    

    Try this:

    var a = app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().textContainers;
    for(var n=0;n
    

    I suggest the following, which should work:

    var doc = app.documents[0];
    var myStoriesArray = doc.stories.everyItem().getElements();
    var storiesLength = myStoriesArray.length;
    
    var textContainersToRemoveIDs = [];

The region is repeated on each page, but I also want the category to repeat on each page without a page break. All of the suggestions. Thanks, Sushil

    Could you added the category value in the header row and the table row properties to repeat on each page... I sent a response to your e-mail. Take a look to see if the output is by expectations.

  • Heights of game for all the blocks of text in a document

    Looking to do something seemingly simple. I want all the blocks of text in my document to the same height.

    Here's where I am.

    app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem () .height = "2.3195 in."

    Note: I work in InDesign CS5.

    Any help on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated.

    Or, in the CS6 and later*:

    var NEW_HEIGHT = '2.3195 in';
    
    // MULTIPLE RESIZE() IN ONE STEP
    // =============================
    app.activeDocument.textFrames.everyItem().resize(
    
        // Target bounding box(es) -- Use OUTER_STROKE_BOUNDS if needed
        // ---
        [CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, BoundingBoxLimits.GEOMETRIC_PATH_BOUNDS],
    
        // Reference point -- Here resize is performed relative to the top edge
        // ---
        AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR,

        // ---
        [ResizeConstraints.KEEP_CURRENT_VALUE, +UnitValue(NEW_HEIGHT).as('pt')]

    * Can operate CS5. x too, but I think remember that CS4 has a bug where resize() is a plural specifier whose receptors belong to several blocks spread.

    I am creating a flyer and must add five photos to document and resize them to scale.  What are the specific steps?

    Without seeing your Flyer available, it is difficult to advise you, but if you want to build the room yourself, illustrated above approach shows how to put an image in the layout, position, and resize it.

    Fig 1. Make a selection on the page layout for the position (and possibly cropped) image format

    Fig 2. Open the image and choose the command selection > all followed by Edit > copy

    Fig. 3. Return to the layout and choose Edition > paste special > paste in the image will be probably larger than your selection when pasted into the Flyer.

    Fig 4. Choose Edition > transform > scale the scale tool appears.

    Fig. 5. Drag the frame to adjust it to a corner of the space of the image

    Fig. 6. Hold down the SHIFT key (to preserve proportion) and drag the farthest corner of scale handle diagonally downwards to reduce the size of the image to fit in the area of selection. Then click on the symbol to Commit in the Options bar to produce the result (Fig 7).

    Repeat for each of the other images...
