I've got a horrible catalog, generated by some online design-it-yourself site, and I've managed to wrangle all the color/bleed issues so far, but there are several pages with price charts like the attached where it's way too close to the trim, especially with the pushout. Any Actions I can modify to move all of it a good 1/8" away from the respective Trim Box? Hoping it helps that the prices are separate items fro the descriptions further in the page so any Move Action won't mess up the rest of the copy.

None that I know of. Maybe ABC will pop in and show us a way.

Kind of thinking "no" since I can't Select Text by font/size as there's more of it in the same doc. I'd almost have to define a certain area, within X inches of the Trim, and then Move by X inches In/Out.

I'll do it manually, it's only a 36pg catalog and at least the price charts aren't on all of the pages.

Scale page content and move page content? (right, left whatever)

Sounds a little too simple of an answer but i have done this before.

Maybe, I just finished tweaking it all by hand - not too horrible! It only has to be "close" anyway. Even the client said "Most of them will end up in the trash before day's end" so I feel pretty good.  ::)

Not a wiz with actions and the like but this might be an easy fix.

Can you post a sample page or two, so I can take a look.
It's all going to be about being able to select the right elements.

Slappy

Sorry, I checked out! I'll post something on Dropbox & PM ya, if you're feeling chippy.

abc, any chance you've seen that file and have any ideas? I've got a 3rd screwed up PDF here I now have to spend a few hours fixing, unless there's some magic! Ugh.
