I am trying to create an applescript to scale a spread in InDesign 2.0.2 to A3 size. The spread is currently 2 A4 pages, but I want to scale it down to be able to fit an A3 page to print.
This is all I have been able to write yet, with scaling figures of half the current size. But this only scales the page items, not the spread.
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
set myDoc to active document
tell myDoc
select all page items
set mySelection to selection
if scaleSchoice is equal to "A3" then
--scale mySelection to A3
scale mySelection horizontal scale 50 vertical scale 50 with considering current scale
end if
end tell
end tell
Thanks for all your help,
Liz
