    Hi,

    I need script that will override all master page items.

    I have found few scripts, but they doesn’t work at all, or work not the way they should.
    Some of them do override, but elements on the page became shifted – in this topic [ https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1455184?start=0&tstart=0 ] scripters found out how to fix this shift, but this script doesn’t work for me – it doesn’t do override – just create empty pages at the end of the document.. and seems it’s work only with “A-Master”, “B-Master”, “C-Master”, and I need it to work with all masters..

    so, can anybody help me to figure out how to make script that will override master page items without shifting?

    try {
    //Active Document
    var appDoc = app.activeDocument;
    //All Master Spreads
    var allMasSprs = appDoc.masterSpreads;
    //All Document Pages
    var allPages = appDoc.pages;
    //Document Page
    for (var p = 0; p < allPages.length; ++p) {
    var tarMasPgItems = allPages[p].masterPageItems;
    //Master Page Items
    if (tarMasPgItems.length > 0) {
    //Master Page Item
    for (var m = 0; m < tarMasPgItems.length; ++m) {
    try {
    //Allow Override
    if (allPages[p].masterPageItems[m].allowOverrides == true) {
    allPages[p].masterPageItems[m].override(allPages[p]);
    }//end if //Allow Override
    } catch (er) {/*Inheritance Master Page Final Override Item*/}
    }//end for //Master Page Item
    }//end if //Master Page Items
    }//end for
    } catch (err) {
    Window.alert(err);
    }

    @swan pado – I don’t know why, but your script overrides only 2 of 4 master page items on the page.. and what even worse – overriden elements get shifting – before override elements had position of X: 65.225mm Y: 269.4mm and after override elements was shifted to X: 59.325mm Y: 278.2mm

    Hello!

    I’m using this script but it works master by master.
    My documents have three or more masters.
    Is it possible to override them all in one click?

    Thanks!
