Guide Removal Script?

[Jon Morgan]

Hi Forum,

I am looking for an AppleScript that will remove all guides from all pages.  So far, all my Googling has turned up one big goose egg.  Anyone have a script that does this or know what the command(s) would be do this (I am not a programmer)?

Many thanks,
Jon :-)

All sorts of nifty things you can do there.

Remove all guides

To remove all guides from a document, option-click the horizontal and vertical rulers. If the ruler is overlapping the page, then all the page guides will be removed. If the ruler is not touching the actual page, then only the pasteboard guides (guides that appear outside the page) will be removed.

Ah ok, sweet.  It's funny the things that are right in front of you but you don't see.  I would still be interested in seeing if removing all guides from all pages could be scripted in AppleScript.

Cheers and thank you!

That worked well too.  Thank you!

Jon for something like that you may find it here: http://bbs.applescript.net/

When I was trying to understand and study scripting I belonged to this forum. Someone there may already have one or will be willing to write it for you.
