I don't know, I haven't been scripting specifically for Cs5. But the ref says it's an array, not a single value, so you could try

pasteboardMargins = [ “6in”, “6in”, “6in”, 6in ];

The ref does not mention how it works; I would guess it adds these amounts all around. If you cannot get it to work, look at what is reported for the values are in your current document:

alert (“Pasteboard is :”+app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.pasteboardMargins.join(“, “)+” big”);

Is it horizontal or vertical scaling that's causing problems?

Horizontally, the pasteboard extends to again your entire page width — which, interestingly enough, I never thought about before. So it would seem you are quite safe scaling up to 200%.

The vertical extent is in your Preferences: Guides & Pasteboard: Minimum Vertical Offset, and has a default of 1 inch. I wonder why your “slug” trick doesn't work; if I increase it, there is still 1 inch extra above and below it. (But changing the slug back also resets the pasteboard to what it was before.)

But you can set this pasteboard size directly from within a script.

CS4:

app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.minimumSpaceAboveAndBelow = “15cm”;

(see https://jongware.mit.edu/idcs4j…..rence.html)

CS5 and 5.5: uh.

It changed; see https://jongware.mit.edu/idcs5j…..rence.html. Apparently it's now “pasteboardMargins”, and now you can set the space all around at will.

Furry, in the Find Font dialog there is a checkbox that makes the font also change inside styles when ticked. Doesn”t that work for you?

By the way a caveat emptor! Your new font “Souvenir Std” is not guaranteed to be the exact new same as your old version. There may be minor differences, and adding those up may cause text re-flow. That's why Adobe chose to add “Std” to the font name, so one could choose to use the new one or stick with the old. (And so it was not done in a fit of malice, just to aggrevate you!)

It can be done with a GREP replace: search for

.+

and replace with

“$0”

In essence, it finds “everything” and then replaces this with the found text, surrounded by double quotes. But you have to remind yourself to make sure it uses “Selection” in the GREP replace dialog every time. Otherwise you will get double quotes around 'everything' (depending what on the search scope says).

A better way is to use a mini-javascript that first checks if you have a valid selection and only if so inserts the quotes for you. ( I went a little nuts here, loads of extra functionality :) )

You can save this script in your Scripts folder and then use the Keyboard Shortcut Editor to assign a hotkey combo to it.

The word “Here” shows blue on my iPad, and indeed it is an hyperlink. (It takes you here: https://kasyan.ho.com.ua/find_o…..text.html)

Lots of ways to skin this particular kitten. For example, this very short one may be all that's needed:

(?<=m)d

– it works on all of your examples

But I can see where you are heading for, you only want to superscript the digit for [digit][space][measurement][²³]. In that case you were very close indeed, but the only point of failure is this:

You cannot use lookbehind strings of variable length.

So that's why your (cm|m|km) doesn't work — this string may be either 2 or 3 characters long. The workaround trick is to use | to separate two lookbehinds, and whatever matches first will work:

((?<=d [kc]m)|(?<=d m))db

I added a b “Word break” at the end to ensure no digit or letter should follow the superscript number.

The trick to post a single backslash is to insert two of 'em \ when posting. If you edit your post, they will be reverted to a single backslash again so then you have to hunt through your text, \doubling\ all of them again (Edit: I just noticed a typo, of all things right smack in the middle of my “good” GREP, so I had ta do just that! :p )
