Increasing Weight of Strokes in InDesign

I am looking for an InDesign CC script that will increase stroke weights of lines that are less .5pt to .5pt. I frequently get a book job where the strokes weights of lines are all over the place. They range from .08 to .5. Any help would greatly appreciated.

Hi yespress

this should help to get you started

tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2015"
	set myDoc to active document
	tell myDoc
		repeat with x from 1 to count pages
			set AllPages to page x
			tell AllPages
				set stroke weight of every page item of page x of myDoc to 0.5
			end tell
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell

Edit: changed the script, this works better for all pages in a document

Hi there,

These 2 variations work too :slight_smile:

This does every page…


tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2015"
	set stroke weight of (every page item of every page of active document) to 0.5
end tell

… and this does it by page number.


tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2015"
	set stroke weight of (every page item of page 1 of active document) to 0.5
end tell

I had a similar question re cell stroke weights which worked in the same way.

HTH

Thanks everyone. The scripts work, however it’s putting a stroke on every time including text and picture boxes. Is there a way to isolate just the lines?

TecNik’s code is nicer than mine, so try

tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2015"
	set stroke weight of (every graphic line of every page of active document) to 0.5
end tell

Awesome, works great. Thanks everyone.
