Deactivating Auto Fit on Object Frames

We have a document which was created using the autofit option enabled.  We're looking for an easy way to disenable the autofit for all frames in the document.  Is there a slicker way to do it than to select all the objects and change the options in the fitting frame options palette? 

Select all objects (ctrl+A PC/ cmd+A mac)... then just uncheck AutoFit.  This will disable AutoFit for all objects.  This is two keystrokes... doesn't get much slicker than that.

  • Auto fit table in object frame?

    Hi
    I'm setting up a spec sheet and have a 7.5" object filled with a solid colour/1pt stroke.  I also have a table which I'm trying to insert and I'm having a heck of a time trying to align everything perfectly.  I'd like if possible to set the table inside the 7.5"object frame, have no stroke on the table columns and expand the table automatically to snap to the inside edge of the stroke of the 7.5" object I'm inserting the table.  Right now I'm using the 'T' tool to adjust the table and it ain't working ;-))
    Thanks..

    It's still a bit unclear. How about an image? (Use the Camera Icon on the web forum to insert images.)
    This Javascript sets the width of the table the cursor is in to 7.5" exactly:
    if (app.selection.length == 1)
         myTable = app.selection[0];
         if (myTable.hasOwnProperty ("baseline"))
              myTable = myTable.parent;
         if (myTable instanceof Cell)
              myTable = myTable.parent;
         if (myTable instanceof Row)
              myTable = myTable.parent;
         if (myTable instanceof Column)
              myTable = myTable.parent;
         if (myTable instanceof Table)
              myTable.width = "7.5 in";

  • Shouldn't object style with 'fit content to frame' work with updated images?

    I have a script that places pdf files from a list onto pages. The rectangles are built with an object style that fits content to frame.  This works,  but if the pdf file is then modified, InDesign does not fit the new content to the frame when the link is updated. Is there a reason why the object style does not honor its settings?
    Thanks.

  • Auto fit

    Morning Everyone;
    I was wondering if someone could tell me how to set up Indesign so the text autofit settings I created are active whenever I open and start to use Indesign?
    I have already tried to set the options with no documents open and it defaults to off.
    Thanks

    D'UHHHHH.
    I mis-understood.
    What I've been telling you to do is change the Auto-Size for Text frames.
    For Auto-fit, with no document open, open the Object Styles panel, and double click Basic Graphics Frame. Choose Frame Fitting Options from the left side and set them.
    Now, with no document open, choose the Rectangle Tool (M), and click Basic Graphics Frame.
    From now on the Auto-Fit will be what you want.

  • Fitting text to frame.

    Hi, from what I read, there is no real option to auto fit text to text frame like you can do for an image so looking for a work around.  We load a lot of data from xml files into pre-built assets through Apple Scripts so want to try to avoid having designer go in and manually fix the exceptions that don't fit.  I've been trying to use a paragraph style's justification options to do and it seems do a little of what we need but seems to only do if no spaces in text like 123456789012345678901234567890  then it will squeeze it on one line but if 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890, it will not.  Not sure if this is the best way or not.  Here is what I have in my paragraph style

    The last thing you want to do is scale your text horizontally or vertically to fit copy to a page. I'd only ever do this for text that needs some sort of special effect look or something. I think it's pretty bad for anyone to use scaling to fit copy to a page to bring back two lines.
    What you can do is look at the leading, perhaps reduce it by .25pts or something for the page.
    Or select all the text and reduce the space between the letters http://www.adobe.com/education/webtech/CS2/unit_planning1/idb2_leadkrntrak.htm
    But you don't want to overdo it, or the text will look all squashed up and unreadable.
    I usually go for about -5pt, but no more than that.
    I'm sure others would have their methods too, but scaling or squishing text using horizontal or vertical scaling just distorts the shape of the letters.
    Ultimately you don't want to change anything and perhaps look at other elements on the page that you could alter to bring back the two lines.

  • Auto-fit feature trashes pics

    Hi,
    I'm working with hundreds of images in ID CS5 and would like to use the Auto-fit tool.  It doesn't work for me the way it works in the video tutorials.  When you select images and check the Auto-fit box, it's supposed to allow you to scale images along with their frames automatically.
    In my case, when I highlight two or more images and check the Auto-fit box, the images instantly disappear.  The only clue is that in the Links view, the page numbers change to "PB".  This would indicate that the images have been sent to the pastboard.  However, I've painstakingly searched the whole document for them, even shut off each layer, one at a time.  They don't seem to be anywhere or on any pasteboard area.  Unchecking the box doesn't bring them back.  The only work-around to get them back is to "undo" the operation.  Anyone else have this happen?
    Thanks.

    Interesting, thanks Eugene.  I couldn't find a Zoom to Fit command anywhere in ID incl. the manual.  However, I did try the main Fit Frame to Content buttone.  This reveals the images as being around 20 inches down and to the right of the page, way off in never neverland!  I never put my images anywhere but in their frames.  Happens repeatably with all my images.  The Fit Content to Frame and Center in Frame buttons do bring the images back into the frame again, similar to saying Undo.  There's got to be something wrong with the code, this seems crazy.

  • Need solution for auto-fit problems

    I've got a form with 7 text boxes that I'm looking to get copy to auto-fit properly. I'd also like to flow the content without having to start from scratch with a new form.
    Here are my problems:
    - "Expand to fit" is grayed out for both the height and width on every text box.
    - "Allow page breaks within content" and "Keep with next" are also grayed out on every text box.
    - I also have "make fixed-size text object auto-fit while editing" checked to perform in my options and it's not doing that at all.
    HELP!!!! Thanks.
    Gabriel Daigle

    Tried this.  Didn't work.  All those items mentioned previously, as well as anything having to do with subforms, are grayed out. Even tried a new document with flowable layout, added text boxes, and everything is still grayed out.  Any other solutions out there?

  • Can't see the fit content to frame option....

    Hi All,
    I'm having some issues trying to click on:
    Object > Fitting > Fit Content to Frame
    This area is simply greyed out and I cant' select the option to do so.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks
    Daniel

    I just wondered if you can please advise how I could click a button and have the text within the text box automatically resize to fit the frame?
    This is not a built-in capability of InDesign.  Macinbytes told you that this was the case, and John told you why.
    However, InDesign has a scripting interface, so plenty of people have written additional tools to make particular tasks easier. I think that one of these scripts from In-Tools will be exactly what you're looking for.

  • Auto fitting for pictures

    Is there a way I can set photos to auto fit or fill when I resize a frame?

    <CS3><br />I'm surprised that I can't set the frame fitting options (fitting on empty frame) as a default (ie with no documents open).<br /><br />I want all new frames I create to have a particular property (ie Fit Content Proportionally) but this doesn't work. All new frames default to 'None'.<br /><br />Am I missing something, or was I right to request this as a new feature?

  • Iphoto Books: How to Enable "fit photo to frame size" when theme grays it out by default

    Don't know if this has been posted before or not, but I've been using the "Modern" Theme in iPhoto books and trying for the life of me to figure out how to get my photos to not crop while they're in a single-photo framed layout (I'm not using 4:3 photos; mine are 8.5" by 11"). Even fully zoomed out my photos cut off at the top and bottom. I knew about the "fit photo to frame size" option but the theme had it greyed out--except for on one page, in which it was already enabled. So I must have done it before without paying attention, but it took forever to figure out how to do it again.
    Here's how:
    1. Open up the page you want to modify. I'm assuming here that your photos are already placed, but if not, place the photo you want to use.
    2. Click the Layout tab.
    3. Change the layout to the single page full bleed option--no frame. Your photo should now be blown up across the page.
    4. Right click the photo. The "fit photo to frame size" option should now be available for you to check off. Go ahead and activate it.
    5. Change the layout back to the single photo framed option. Your photo will now fit inside the frame, although to truly see the whole thing you have to open up the Options tab and select the borderless option.
    To save time in steps 1-3, and step 5, you can also change the layout of all your pages at once by clicking page 1 (not the cover, the next page), then opening the Layout tab, then selecting the layout you want. You still have select the "fit photo to frame size" individually for each photo.
    Hope this is useful for people.

    There is an option for the Initial View that is "Magnification:" "Fit Page".  And this works for the initial page when the PDF is opened and it does not matter what the page size it, Acrobat/Reader will automatically fill the screen with the page. If you want the zoom type to change with each page then you need  add a page open script to each page to set the pages zoom type to "zoomtype.fitP"
    this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;

  • How to auto fit column width?

    Hi experts,
      When I design a input schedule, I find a problem, some columns can auto fit column width when I input numerics, some columns can not! how can I fix my input schedule and let all column can auto fit column width?
    best regard
    Evans.

    Evans,
          If you are using standard template and which is not working for 2 data ranges.
          I think you can customize using VBA Macros. It is possible using Macros. I'm not sure is it BUG from SAP.
         Try to put VBA code in AFTER_REFRESH i guess.
          You can VBA Macro code mention below.
          for Column D: Columns("D:D").EntireColumn.AutoFit
          For all Columns: Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
          For Only Data Ranges: Determine columns from data range using VBA code and use VBA code given for Column .
    Thanks,
    Ben.

  • Fitting Content to Frame to a Path or Mask

    We have been asked by a customer to try and achieve the following:
    They have a number of eps's of a flat screen TV's. For each TV, there is a path around the outside. We will call this Path 1. There is a second path around the screen of the TV. We will call this Path 2.
    Is there a way of placing another image, and fitting content to frame (just like in Indesign), using Path 2 as the bounding box?
    We are using both CS3 and CS4.

    Mark, while Scripts may not be necessary they can add a level of convenience unattainable with Actions.
    As concerns the PAID HELP, the Photoshop Scripting Forum has a couple regulars who, while they may offer their services professionally, still give their advice freely; but in case Adam has no Scripting-experience his needs, should he choose to try a Scripting-solution, might exceed »advice«.
    Having only recently started to appreciate and utilize the capabilities of JavaScript for Photoshop myself I may appear overzealous in advocating it, but everybody will have to decide for themselves if they want to give it a try.
    With possibly hundreds of images I wouldnt want to rely on the screens (or their paths) to all have the same diameter and a Script can allow for that with transforming the placed image according to the height or width so as to always fill the area completely (thus clipping at the top/bottom or left/right depending on the relation).
    And (though too complicated for myself) it would be possible to let Photoshop work off folders and not get stuck by the occasional file that doesnt conform to the naming conventions or lacks a path by ignoring it and documenting unedited files at the end.
    Thats always assuming that the photographs of the tv-sets are fairly frontal, because if they are in perspective then the matter gets much more complicated, but what with the allusion to doing it in Indesign I concluded perspectival transformation isnt required anyway.

  • CS4 fit content to frame default

    Hi all,
    Just a quicky, we have just upgraded to CS4 at work (late adopters I know!) and we have an issue with how ID CS4 fits the frame to content by default.  The problem with this is it is changing templates of material built in earlier versions of ID, for instance changing ellipse frames to squares, resizing all the frames to fit the content, etc. Is it possible to change this default behavior? All help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks for the responses and I apologise for the delay in replying, it has been flat out here... Anyway I just want to confirm that the problem still exists. I am unsure how to explain it further although I will try
    When the frame fitting option is set to 'fit content to frame' Indesign applies a 'fit frame to content' which the operator must then undo. This especially occurs when placing content into ellipse or polygon frames. Indesign always applies a "fit the frame to content" (which obviously blows away the shape), the operator must then undo the 'fit frame to content' that CS4 automatically applies (crtl+z).
    Not sure it is related but we also suffer from a one minute delay upon opening Indesign and Acrobat, the windows "csrss.exe" process goes nuts and sits on nearly 100% cpu usage for about a minute before the program becomes usable. It seems related to the number of fonts installed on the system (around 2000) because if I remove all the fonts, delete the adobefnt files and reinstall the fonts the machine runs fine for a week or so before it bogs down again. I know that this file is not a virus, as we run symantec on our machines, also there is only one copy of this process in taskmanager. Also this has happened across multiple machines with varying hardware. Is there a hard limit on fonts?
    Thanks again
    Regards Chris
