Hi,
I am trying to script Indesign CS or CS2 to automatically copyfit a story.
What I would do usually by hand is select all the text in a story and use my
arrow keys to decrease the point size and leading of all the text at once.
It works even if the text contains different sizes and it sizes everything
according to my increment setting. I.e. A headline at 11pt gets becomes 10
and body copy at 9 becomes 8pt. All values change - the increment.
When looking through the scripting dictionaries I could not find this
feature only the increment setting was mentioned there. Any idea what it is
called? Or whether this exists?
You might now think why don't I just read the point size and minus it until
no overflow. Well that sets all my copy at a certain point size so I don't
want to go that route. Reading Character level point size and then minusing
that is also way to slow and time consuming. I should just be able to tell
Indesign to run decrease point size until no overflow, whatever it is (the
initial point size should not need to be defined only the amount of times to
run decrease or increase) till no overflow exists. Manually this is really
easy it is just a push of a button a couple of times until I can see that it
fits. Now how do you do this via applescript?
Best, Patrik
