Insert PDF after a selected page

I've built an action (using action wizard) in Acrobat XI Pro that inserts a single-page PDF file into another with this code:

this.insertPages({cPath:"/C/Scanning Temp Storage/Blank Red Page.pdf"});

I would like to find a way to have that page inserted after a selected page. So, varies from document to document.

I used to have this action working the way I want it, but it got broken after I had to migrate my customized actions from one Windows user to another.

Thanks for any help!

Correct answer Joel Geraci

Your code would become...

this.insertPages({nPage: this.pageNum, cPath:"/C/Scanning Temp Storage/Blank Red Page.pdf"});

... to insert after the current page. This generally means the page that you see selected in the Pages view. I'm not sure what a selected page would mean.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks

I knew about the nPage function, but I didn't know what the modifier for a current page would be.

Thanks again!

By "selected page", do you mean the current page that is being viewed? If not, what do you mean, exactly?

Yep - has a blue "halo" when viewed in the page thumbnails tab.
