You need to increase the size of the pasteboard before you begin resizing.

To do this add the following line of code before your resize step:

app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.pasteboardMargins = [ '1000pt', '1000pt'];

_{Note: You may need to increase the x and y values (i.e. 1000pt) depending on the size of your document(s).}

Further info regarding the PasteboardPreference class can be found here.

Haja - Is it only working once when you execute the script again on the same document or another/different document? Perhaps the x and y values need increasing for the document that you’re getting the same error. – RobC Nov 08 '18 at 21:30
