    So I’ve narrowed it down to something wrong with my “user” folder for those scripts.

    I’ve copied those same scripts into the “Application” folder scripts, and they work just fine.

    Some problem, uh, solved?

    In case anyone else is searching – I found a different way to attack this. Instead of working with the InDesign pages, there's a script here:

    https://cargocollective.com/Rok…..  (the Rhimposition Step & Repeat)

    that does just what I wanted from a PDF.

    collywolly is right!

    I changed the font to Arial and it works like a charm. We have something like 10 thousand Helveticas between the 3 of us, but only 1 Arial. :)

    Thank you both so much!

    It doesn't create anything before crashing.

    But here's something you didn't ask but we tried anyway – if we set up a Paragraph Style called ImageLabel before we run it, it works. We didn't make it match the specs of ImageLabel in the script – we just renamed one of our existing styles, so the text overset the box, but it didn't crash and it drew the rules.

    Unfortunately, we already thought about that, and he gets that same error on a new document that only has a blank rectangle.

    But – my other co-worker (there are three of us) has no trouble with the script.

    We are all running CS5.0. We tried to poke about for differences between the 3 machines, but we're all running the same system. Those two are running Version 7.0 of CS5, I'm running 7.04 (you'd think I'd be the one with trouble since I'm odd man out).

    Ok, so now there's a little trouble. This script works great for me. I made only one mod – I changed “false” to “true” regarding the print state of the new layer.

    But when I shared it with a co-worker, his gives us the attached error. He can run other scripts, but not this one. Any idea where to start?

    Oh my!

    That is totally freakin' awesome. And the way you documented it made me kinda sorta understand how you did it.

    We do need the layer to always be printable (but it doesn't matter if it's RGB or CMYK – it just needs to print on the hard copy production proofs that go out to production, then we delete the layer when we set up for plates/film/whatever the thing becomes)., so I changed that. Everything else is just amazing – it runs just fine in 5.0.

    Not sure what I can offer in return, but you've cut my workload a heap!

    Hi Jongware – yes it was your script that gave me the idea that this would either already exist or be possible ( https://creativepro.com/forum/indesign-add-ons-scripts-scripting-and-plug-ins/label-script )

    Attachment one.jpg is what I'm doing by hand, now.

    Attachment two.jpg shows what I'm guessing would be possible – either one line showing height x width (3 decimals, always in inches is what I need to show) or maybe the two text boxes – one showing height and one showing width so I can scoot them to their locations. Actually, one line would be easier – I can just draw the rules to match and leave the text either above or below the graphic (wherever is easiest for the script to place it).
