It sounds like the document is set to spread-based measurements. Change it
to page-based:

tell view preferences of document 1
 set ruler origin to page origin
end tell

You might want to store it and set it back to whatever was in use at the
end:

tell view preferences of document 1
 set oldOrigin to ruler origin
 set ruler origin to page origin
end tell
-- do your stuff
tell view preferences of document 1
 set ruler origin to oldOrigin
end tell

I think you've found a pretty good place to start. Check out this forum's
