P1-2 (Apply A-Master), P3-4 (Apply B-Master), P5-6(Apply C-Master)

What I want to do is overrider the master page text Frame only, if my script is work, P1-6 will overrider the master text Frame, but it only overrider P1-2 text Frame, Please help to fix it! Many Thx

var myDocument = app.activeDocument; 
var TotalPages = (myDocument.pages.count()); 
for(var CurrentPage=0; CurrentPage < TotalPages; CurrentPage++) { 
     OverrideMasterItems(); 
} 

function OverrideMasterItems() { 

var allItems = myDocument.pages[CurrentPage].appliedMaster.pages.item(1).textFrames.everyItem().getElements(); 

  for(var i=0;i<allItems.length;i++){ 

try{

    allItems.override(myDocument.pages[CurrentPage])} 
catch(e){} 

  } 

  var allItems0 = myDocument.pages[CurrentPage].appliedMaster.pages.item(0).textFrames.everyItem().getElements(); 

  for(var i=0;i<allItems0.length;i++){ 

try{

    allItems0.override(myDocument.pages[CurrentPage])} 
catch(e){} 

  } 

}

Correct answer Jump_Over

no, coz sometimes need facing Pages sometime no need facing Pages, can make both work?


Hi,

OK. It looks much easier than I expected, since there is a page property masterPageItems

So:

var


  mDoc = app.activeDocument,


  mPages = mDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements(),


  cFrames, len,


  cnt = mPages.length;




  while (cnt-->0) {


       cFrames = mPages[cnt].masterPageItems;


       len = cFrames.length;


       while (len-->0)


            if (cFrames[len].constructor.name == "TextFrame")


                 cFrames[len].override(mPages[cnt]);


       }

Hi creativejoan0425,

Pleas try the below js code.

var myDocument = app.activeDocument; 


var TotalPages = (myDocument.pages); 


for(var i=0; i< TotalPages.length; i++) { 


    if(TotalPages.appliedMaster.name=="A-Master"){


        var allItems  = (TotalPages.appliedMaster.textFrames);


        for(var a=allItems.length-1; a>=0; a--){ 


            try{


                allItems.override(TotalPages)} 


            catch(e){} 


            }


        }


    }

thx,

csm_phil
