Framemaker ESTK - Apply master page "None"

  • May 17, 2023

I want the second page of my document to be blank - no headers or footers. If I manually go to Format>Page Layout>Master Page Usage>Custom - There is an option called None which achieve this.

 

I have the following script:

function ApplyMasterPages(doc)
{
var bodyPage = doc.FirstBodyPageInDoc;
bodyPage.ApplyPageLayout(doc.GetNamedMasterPage('Cover Page'));
bodyPage = bodyPage.PageNext;
bodyPage.ApplyPageLayout(doc.GetNamedMasterPage('None'));
}

It doesn't give me an error, but it doesn't remove the headers and foolters either.

I realize I could create a new Master Page without headers or footers and name it "Empty" and apply that it would probably work, but that seems redundant when the built-in option "None" should work.

 

Thanks for the assistance!

    Use this to apply None:

    bodyPage.PageBackground = Constants.FV_BGD_NONE;

      Possibly not useful, but one of my projects has an MP named "Blank", which is only usually blank.

      The header & footer frames are there, but have content controlled by Color Views or Condition codes. All is invisible for print. All but nav hyperlink is invisible for PDF.

      Bob - Thank you - that's bascially what I meant by creating a master page named "Empty".  I've done that and it works as a workaround, but I'd rather not have an extra master page in the document since the built-in "None" master page should work if I could figure out how to apply it.

      re: …I'd rather not have an extra master page in the document since the built-in "None" master page should work if I could figure out how to apply it.

      That sentence might well be defining the problem. I've never used the None feature in the apply-MP dialogs, but what what it appears to be doing is removing any MP assignment, rather than assigning some empty internal MP named "None".

       

      I also have no bets on what happens as pages are inserted or deleted prior to that in the doc, or if an AMP is run.
