Hello from Holland!

I just have a simple question.

I am making a script to duplicate al pages in a indesign file.

Now it is a file with a couple of single pages.

Page 1

Page 2

Page 3

Page 4

And so on

With the script i want:

Page 1

Page 1

Page 2

Page 2

Page 3

Page 3

I know i can duplicate with a simple script but i just don't know where to search to make it like above.

This is what i have so far.

if (app.documents.length == 0){

alert ("Please open a document, select an object, and try again.");

exit();

}

var myPage = app.activeDocument.pages[0]

myPage.duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myPage);

Already thanks who wants to help me out!

    Hey!

    I think this will help 

    if (app.documents.length == 0){
        alert ("No Documents Opened");
        exit();
    }else{ 
        var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
        var myDocPagesCount = myDoc.pages.length;
        var myPage = app.activeDocument.pages;
        for(var i = 0; i < myDocPagesCount*2; i+=2){
            myPage.duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myPage);
        }
    }
