Hello fellow scripters:
I have this script I have written:
set MyDocPrefs to document preferences
tell MyDocPrefs
set PageParamList to my GetPageMeasurements(PageSize)
set pw to item 1 of PageParamList
set ph to item 2 of PageParamList
--set page width to item 1 of PageParamList
--set page height to item 2 of PageParamList
set page width to pw
set page height to ph
set pages per document to 1
set page orientation to portrait
end tell --MyDocPrefs
The GetPageMeasurements() handler searches through a bunch of if statements and returns a page width and height in that order. Here's the code:
if PageSize = "3" then
set PageParamList to {"33p", "51p"}
end if
[Lots of identical-looking code deleted]
if PageSize = "10" then
set PageParamList to {"62.5p", "56p"}
end if
return PageParamList
end GetPageMeasurements
If I ask for the page width and height of Page size 10, it returns the correct measurements, but when I put them in the "page width" and "page height" properties of document preferences, *for page size 10 only* the width and height values get switched. I have run through all the other page sizes, and they work just fine. It is only page size 10 that does not work properly.
Does anyone see where I have gone wrong?
