Hi

Hi Neon,
Try the below code in InDesign Scripting Guide provided.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"set myDocument to active documenttell view preferences of myDocumentset myOldXUnits to horizontal measurement unitsset myOldYUnits to vertical measurement unitsset horizontal measurement units to pointsset vertical measurement units to pointsend tell--At this point, you can perform any series of script actions that depend on--the measurement units you’ve set. At the end of the script, reset--the measurement units to their original state.tell view preferences of myDocumentset horizontal measurement units to myOldXUnitsset vertical measurement units to myOldYUnitsend tellend tell
And also you can try this.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"
  tell pages of active document
  resize item 1 in inner coordinates from center anchor by replacing current dimensions with values {"4.5 in", "5 in"}
  end tell
end tell
