Nah, they're integral to-something. Man I shoulda learned some coding along the way, shit makes my head hurt. 

Is that is actually 2 different scripts? Looks like the 2nd one starts with:

// Run the script when a frame is selected in Graphic mode
app.addEventListener("selectionChanged", function() {
  if (app.selection.length === 1 && app.selection[0].typename === "GraphicFrame") {
    resizeToBleed();
  }
});

Maybe try running only the top part:

// InDesign Script: Resize selected frame to document bleed area

function resizeToBleed() {
  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  var selectedFrame = app.selection[0];

  if (selectedFrame.typename === "GraphicFrame") {
    var bleed = doc.documentPrefs.pageBleed;
    selectedFrame.geometricBounds = [
      bleed.top,
      bleed.left,
      doc.pageWidth + bleed.right,
      doc.pageHeight + bleed.bottom
    ];
  } else {
    alert("Please select a graphic frame.");
  }
}

Maybe the bottom part is only for when in Graphic mode.

Hmmmmm, looks right but - fails.

The much simpler one I used would just set the selected (single) item to the bounding area of the bleed box. I'll keep mesing around, should be able to get it to work eventually & I'll pot a link back if I do.

Thanks!

Is this it:

// InDesign Script: Resize selected frame to document bleed area

function resizeToBleed() {
  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  var selectedFrame = app.selection[0];

  if (selectedFrame.typename === "GraphicFrame") {
    var bleed = doc.documentPrefs.pageBleed;
    selectedFrame.geometricBounds = [
      bleed.top,
      bleed.left,
      doc.pageWidth + bleed.right,
      doc.pageHeight + bleed.bottom
    ];
  } else {
    alert("Please select a graphic frame.");
  }
}

// Run the script when a frame is selected in Graphic mode
app.addEventListener("selectionChanged", function() {
  if (app.selection.length === 1 && app.selection[0].typename === "GraphicFrame") {
    resizeToBleed();
  }
});

It's a dropbox link that has 2 java scripts, 1 for single pages and 1 for spreads, not sure if it's what you are looking for

You mean like redefining page geometry in Acrobat? That can be done in pdf fixups.

[edit] Didn't look at the topic (InDesign). I *think* I know how to do it for pdf only.

Kicking myself, I had a (very basic) script previously that I've lost in job moves. All it does is, when a frame is selected (Graphic mode typically) sizes the frame to the Bleed area for that document. Had it tied to a keyboard shortcut making it super useful resizing a ton of pages.

Can't replicate it, I even tried Chat GPT which appeared to make one but it doesn't function. anybody seen a thing, or know a way to easily create it? 

Haven't tried over there yet. I always try here first. It's not even that big an issue, just something I was curious about. 

Quote from: DCurry on February 19, 2025, 12:54:34 PMI think I found a half-solution. It seems that I can move my folding patterns from one sheet to another, but I can't (easily) reorder the sheets. So I could move sig 1 onto form 2. It will work fine, just gets a little confusing out in the press room and bindery as they are used to Form 1 being the first sig. so if I build the template with a work and turn as the first sheet, then the first sheet will always be work and turn even if I choose to put sig 2 or 3 on it.

I was hoping someone here might have had some in-depth experience with Signa, but I guess I'm the only one using it currently!
