    I have a large document of 600 pages and I would like to move all text boxes with the same Object Style 0.25” upwards. I am looking for a script similar to “adjust layout” but specific to an object on all my pages.

    Thanks a lot !

    Array.prototype.whose = function F(/*obj|fct*/condition)
    //————————————–
    // Note: support nested objs (see Example 1 below)
    {
    // Default test function (cached)
    // —
    F.OBJ_TEST || (F.OBJ_TEST = function T(t,o)
    {
    var r = 1,
    k;

    for( k in o )
    {
    if( !o.hasOwnProperty(k) ) continue;
    r = ( ‘object’ == typeof o[k] ) ?
    T(t[k],o[k]) :
    +(t[k] == o[k]);
    if( !r ) break;
    }
    return r;
    });

    // Vars
    // —
    var fCond = ‘function’==typeof condition || (condition instanceof Function),
    oCond = fCond ? undefined : condition,
    n = this.length,
    z = 0,
    i;

    // Do we use the default function?
    // —
    fCond = fCond ? condition : F.OBJ_TEST;

    // Processing…
    // —
    for( i=0 ; i < n ; ++i )
    fCond(this[i],oCond) && (this[z++] = this[i]);

    this.length = z;
    fCond = oCond = null;

    // Will allow compound calls :-)
    // —
    return this;
    };

    var main = function() {

    var doc = app.properties.activeDocument, xGap = .25;

    if ( !doc ) return;
    var items = doc.allPageItems.whose ( function(item) {
    return item.appliedObjectStyle.name == “OZALTO”;
    });

    var n = items.length;

    while ( n– ) {
    items[n].move ( undefined, [xGap, 0] );
    }

    }

    var u;

    app.doScript ( “main()”,u,u,UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, “The Script” );

      Hi Loic

      Correct me if I’m wrong — you routinely use Functional Programming with ID scripting?

      Hi Akiva,

      If you are making a reference to the array prototype adornment, it’s a courtesy of InDiscripts. This snippet intends to mimick the whose function in applescript and it does it very well.

      Other than that, I am not stuck to any paradigm ;)

      Hi Loic

      Thanks. It’s a great bit of code

      (I’ve been studying Functional Programming)

    Seem to have an issue with or above the line 14. I can’t find it.

    I have no idea, what Loic is trying to do here ;-)

    So, please test this verry short version (will not work with grouped textframes):

    var curDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var allTextFrames = curDoc.textFrames;
    var nFrames = allTextFrames.length;
    
    for (var i = 0; i < nFrames; i++) {
      var curFrame = allTextFrames[i];
      if (curFrame.appliedObjectStyle.name == "name") {
        curFrame.move(undefined, [0, "-0.25in"]);
      }
    }

    Hi Kai,

    Basically the same process but with more verbose code ;)
