Okay : ) simply I need a script to check filed value, if this value == 0 then delete this page. I want to repeat it to all pages.
For example: page#1 contains fieldA if it's value equals to 0 then delete it, then in page#2 if fieldB value equals to 1 then don't delete it. I have 18 pages each page contains different fields.

You can do it like this:

if (this.getField("fieldA").valueAsString=="0") this.deletePages(this.getField("fieldA").page);

if (this.getField("fieldB").valueAsString=="0") this.deletePages(this.getField("fieldB").page);

etc.

That way you're not using the actual page numbers, but the ones the fields are on, so you don't need to do it in reverse or hard-code the numbers into your code.

If you want to delete all three pages then you should do it either in a single command, or in reverse order, because when you delete page 13 what was before page 14 is now page 13, not 14, and the same for all other pages that follow it.

What's your question, then? Your code does that. Does it not work correctly? If so, what happens when you use it?

Also, where did you place it?

I want to delet page 13, 14 and 15. I added this code in AutoMailMerge to excute this script at the end. But it delets only one page page#(14). I know that pages start's at #Zero in the code.
What I want is to delete pages if a certian value is 0 but it didn't work at all as I want.

In this scenario it should delete 3 pages but it didn't work.
