Hi Andy, Yes, you have to know how wide your text frame is, in points, and plug that number into the function call manually. You can change your "Page & Ruler Units" setting to Points in the Acrobat Preferences dialog, and the FusionPro Text Frame palette will change its units to match, so that you can get the right value in points. (Although, technically, it's the width of the column, not of the frame. Remember to take any Text Inset into account as well.)
There is currently no capacity for reading layout information about text frames into JavaScript rules in FusionPro, with the notable exception of the flow name in the OnCopyfit callback rule. We have been looking into ways to access layout (frame) information in rules for some time now. Currently, our recommendation for users with variable layout needs is to use the DIF manipulation API in a custom solution with FusionPro Server. Such a solution would also allow you to read in the width of a frame and pass it to a JavaScript rule. And actually, you may have noticed that these CopyfitLine-type functions using the FusionProTextMeasure object only work with simple, single rectangular text frames without runaround or multiple frames. Only the full-blown OnCopyfit function has the ability to fit text within an entire flow, taking into account multiple frames, runaround, and everything else. So, simply knowing the width of a particular frame may not be enough information to be able to fit the text into the flow.
