Insert a PDF into another PDF - every other page

[Tarpii]

I have a 2000+ page document that I am trying to insert another PDF after every second page. I'm a Javascript novice and I've managed to get this far. Can anyone offer any advise as to what I'm doing wrong?

for (var i=this.numPages-1; i>=0; i--) {     if (i % 2 == 0) { { this.insertPages(i, "FileToInsert.pdf"); }

What happens when you run the code? Is there an error message? If so, what does it say?

Thanks - I get this:

#

SyntaxError: syntax error

1:Console:Exec

undefined

Use something like this:

for (var i=this.numPages-1; i>=0; i--)

     if (i % 2 != 0) this.insertPages(i, "/c/temp/FileToInsert.pdf");

You must adjust the path of the file.

I've tried adusting the file path (and placing it into my temp folder, but I still get this result:

SyntaxError: syntax error

2:Console:Exec

undefined

Thanks for trying!

What code do you use now?

for (var i=this.numPages-1; i>=0; i--)     if (i % 2 != 0) this.insertPages(i, "/c/temp/FileToInsert.pdf");

This is correct. In the console select the whole code and press Ctrl-Enter.

Ahh, user error! Thank you so much all, I really appreciate the help!

The path is fine as long as the file to insert is located in the same folder as the file to insert to. The problem is a syntax one. You had the curly brackets placed incorrectly. Use this code:

for (var i=this.numPages-1; i>=0; i--) {
    if (i % 2 == 0) {
        this.insertPages(i, "FileToInsert.pdf");
    }
}

Thanks Try67, I still seem to have a syntax error:

for (var i=this.numPages-1; i>=0; i--) { 

    if (i % 2 == 0) { 

        this.insertPages(i, "FileToInsert.pdf"); 

    } 

} 

SyntaxError: missing } in compound statement
