This is my first post on this forum. I’m not a good english speaker, so please excuse my mistakes. Yet I hope to make myself understood better.
I searched all over the internet for a script to help me in my everyday work, but I found nothing.
I work in advertising and everyday, I make ad pages. I work with layouts. The vast majority of scripts are for texts, not for layouts. I need something to make my job easier, to somehow automate repetitive operations that take too long.
Essentially I need a script to resize the picture frame (not the content) to the edges of the page.
E.g:
I have a page that contains 3-4 images and a headline. Let’s say that it is a master, of which I have to make 200-300 different sizes.
I use the “Scale” function with great pleasure, and it automatically resizes my page content. But the proportions are different. In Excel I ordered all sizes depending on the ratio. I started scaling from square ratio to landscape ratio. On every scaling, the content is automatically resized, and on the sides there remain free spaces that I manually have to fill. So, I drag each frame in part to the page margins. The images inside are big enough to fill the spaces.
When the “Liquid page” function was introduced in InDesign, I was happy, believing it could help me in way, but it didn’t. Instead I was inspired to create this script. I think that, as the liquid page did, I may be able to assign some attributes to a frame, for example, it extending to the left, right, up or down. You can also select one frame and assign these functions, exclusively for each frame, and after scaling, you may press a button to run that script, which will expand the frames to the page margins.
It is possible to make a script to do this?
