Javascript for setting the CropBox Units in Millimetres

Question

Hi
I am looking for a Javascript for setting the CropBox Units in Millimetres.
I have a pdf mag that needs the CropBox settings of all the units to be 7.408 mm.
Any help pretty please?
Thanks

Hi,
here is a sample script that put boxes size in Millimetres into custom properties metadatas fields.
It can run from an Action, from the console, or from any form field (button…).
Feel free to re-use/customize it.
var mbox = this.getPageBox("Media");
var Mzeroz = Math.round(mbox[0] * 0.3527);
var Munz = Math.round(mbox[1] * 0.3527);
var Mdeuz = Math.round(mbox[2] * 0.3527);
var Mtroiz = Math.round(mbox[3] * 0.3527);
var cbox = this.getPageBox("Crop");
var Czeroz = Math.round(cbox[0] * 0.3527);
var Cunz = Math.round(cbox[1] * 0.3527);
var Cdeuz = Math.round(cbox[2] * 0.3527);
var Ctroiz = Math.round(cbox[3] * 0.3527);
var tbox = this.getPageBox("Trim");
var Tzeroz = Math.round(tbox[0] * 0.3527);
var Tunz = Math.round(tbox[1] * 0.3527);
var Tdeuz = Math.round(tbox[2] * 0.3527);
var Ttroiz = Math.round(tbox[3] * 0.3527);
var bbox = this.getPageBox("Bleed");
var Bzeroz = Math.round(bbox[0] * 0.3527);
var Bunz = Math.round(bbox[1] * 0.3527);
var Bdeuz = Math.round(bbox[2] * 0.3527);
var Btroiz = Math.round(bbox[3] * 0.3527);
var abox = this.getPageBox("Art");
var Azeroz = Math.round(abox[0] * 0.3527);
var Aunz = Math.round(abox[1] * 0.3527);
var Adeuz = Math.round(abox[2] * 0.3527);
var Atroiz = Math.round(abox[3] * 0.3527);
if (app.language == "FRA")
this.info.Zone_de_media_en_mm = Mzeroz + ", " + Mdeuz + ", " + Munz + ", " + Mtroiz;
this.info.Zone_de_recadrage_en_mm = Czeroz + ", " + Cdeuz + ", " + Cunz + ", " + Ctroiz;
