    I’ve got to go soon Jeremy so if I don’t respond, thanks for all your help. I’ve just found a “Select Objects” script in InDesign scripts that may help. Have a great weekend!

    Yes, each document is a single page. Each page is the same size and all the objects on the page sit on the bottom page margin.

    Alternatively if the script could set the PAGE size (using the bottom middle reference point) instead of the document size we wouldn’t need to move any of the objects on the page.

    I’ve gotta say how impressed I am with your quick and dirty script!

    OMG OMG OMG!
    AWESOME!!! Thanks heaps Jeremy :)))

    This script changes the page size as required. What I need it to do now is move all objects on the page up on the Y Axis: -6mm
    (This is to compensate for the the new page size cropping the top and bottom of the document).

    I basically need the script to:
    Open all InDesign documents
    Resize document page size
    Move objects -6mm
    Save document
    close document

    Hi Jeremy, thanks for the quick reply. I tried it again abut this didn’t change the page size in the other documents in the book. If you’re sure this works then I can do a restart and try again, but I have tried this several times already. (Mind you I was sure it worked on an early test. This is driving me a bit crazy)

    I’m playing around with a script which is starting to work:

    tell document preferences of front document
    set page height to “48mm”
    set page width to “51”
    set document bleed top offset to “0”
    set document bleed uniform size to true
    end tell
