I'm doing a bunch of books that are being reprinted with side-sewn spines, originally perfect bound.

The javascript that moves the page items away from the gutter works pretty good, but not on randomly locked page items.

I need a script that will go through an Indesign file (still on CS6 here) and unlock all the page items on all the pages.

Thanks!

(and while you're writing that one for me, I'll probably need one that does this in Quark one of these days, I'm still getting a lot of old Quark book files to revise)

Make a PDF of the original file, place it into Indy via Multi Page Importer (or something like that), let your JavaScript move the entire page away from the spine, and you should be good to go.
