I think this should work for you:

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
for(var i = 0; i < myDoc.pages.length; i++){
    myDoc.pages[i].select();
    app.doScript(File("Your script file path goes here"))
    }

Just wanted to add... sometimes it's good to add the cut-line to a layer on a master page. I don't know in your case but wanted to mention.

You can do something like this:

var inddFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select Folders with .indd Files");
	if (inddFolder == null) {
		alert("There was no Folder Selected");
		exit();
	}
IDfileList = inddFolder.getFiles("*.indd");
for (var i = 0; i < IDfileList.length; i++) {
		var myFile = IDfileList[i];
		app.open(myFile);
	}
while (app.documents.length > 0) {
//Post Your code here
}
