Hi,

I can't find the [JS] syntax to number the pages of a document: 001, 002, 003, …!  Annoying! 

Thanks for your help!

I did it like this:

            var myNumbering = allPages.name;
            myNewNumbering = ("00" + myNumbering).slice(-3);

What I really wanted was , having n pages, export them to eps and have a numbering with 3 numbers!

So, 1 ==> 001, 2 ==> 002, … 58 ==> 058, … 112 ==> 112!

Hi,

It is under sectionPrefix.. we need to give "00" until 99.. use for loop..

aDoc = app.activeDocument;

aDoc.sections.everyItem().sectionPrefix = "0";

aDoc.sections.everyItem().includeSectionPrefix = true;

useful thread

JS Check if a page has section prefix set

try this:

var main = function () {
  var d = app.properties.activeDocument,
  ps, p, n, epsFile, pn;
  var zeros = "000";
  if ( !d ) return;
  ps = d.pages;
  n = ps.length;
  while (n--) {
  p = ps;
  pn = p.name;
  epsFile=  File ( Folder.desktop+"/"+zeros.slice(0, -pn.length )+pn +".eps" );
  app.epsExportPreferences.pageRange = pn;
  d.exportFile ( ExportFormat.EPS_TYPE, epsFile );
  }
}
main();
