Spawning page in middle of PDF

Question

How do I spawn a page to appear in the middle of a pdf?

I found this Java code that spawns a page to the end of the file, while renaming all the fields.

var a = this.getTemplate("Template1"); //change your template name

a.spawn({nPage: this.numPages, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});

What do I need to change to spawn a page after page 5 the first time, and then each additional spawn will be added relative to the last page I inserted/spawned?

I am a beginner with Java.

I am spawning the same template page and I did add the button to the template page.

if(this.numPages==10)

{a.spawn({nPage: 5, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});}

else

{a.spawn({nPage: this.pageNum+1, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});}

Change the 10 to actual number pages in your document before any spawning is done.

When the bOverlay paramater is set to false, the page is inserted as new page before the nPage parameter. Change this.numPages to the page number that you want the page to appear before. Example:

a.spawn({nPage: 5, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});

will spawn the page before page 6. The other spawns will have to take the new page number of the spawned page into account.
