Resize Page

[lidds]

Is there a way that I can achieve the "Resize Pages" functionality via code, but pass a paper size and orientation e.g. 297 x 420 Landscape?

Basically to achieve the same thing that the "Resize Pages" form does, as shown below:

Thanks

Hello Simon,

Of course. You will have to use this operation and modify it's Options to your liking:

Thanks Alex,

I am using the below code to resize my page. However I have found something a bit strange. If I use a standard page size e.g. A3 which is StdPaperIndex 3 it all works fine. However if I specify a custom paper size e.g. W = 419.9 H = 269.9 the code works but sets the paper size to W = 148.1 H = 95.2 which is a bit strange, am I doing something wrong?

Code: Select all

	nID = Inst.Str2ID("op.document.resizePages", False)
        Op = Inst.CreateOp(nID)
        input = Op.Params.Root("Input")
        input.v = Me.docPreview.Doc.CoreDoc
        options = Op.Params.Root("Options")
        options("PaperType").v = 2
        options("Width").v = 419.9
        options("Height").v = 269.9
        'options("PaperType").v = 1
        'options("StdPaperIndex").v = 3
        'options("Landscape").v = True
        Op.Do()

Thanks

Hello Simon,

To use Custom values, you will have to specify Custom PaperType value.

Alex,

I am specifying the PaperType value to 2 which is custom, see code in original post. Please note the standard PaperType code is commented out.

Thanks

Hello Simon,

Well, if you look carefully, the input parameters are in points, and I suspect that the current unit in your application is millimeters.

Alex,

You are absolutely correct, sorry my error. However now another question, is there a way to get the page size in points, or a way to convert a page size from mm to points?

Thanks

Hello Simon,

If you get page size from the IPXC_Page's rectangle - it's always in points.

Thanks Alex, and also googled and you can multiply points by 2.835 to get to millimetres.

Thanks
