In the same place where you're spawning the pages. You will need to first check if there's a need to delete such a page, though.

For example, you can check the total number of pages in the file (numPages property). If it's not the original number, delete the additional pages and then spawn the new ones.

I am really a newbie ... may i have some code ?? =)

I have this :

// get the value from the dropdown control

var sel = this.getField("liste_qualif").value;

// determine the template name

var templateName = "";

switch (sel) {

case 1: templateName = "CRI";

break;

case 2: templateName = "FI";

break;

case 3: templateName = "FTI de FTI";

break;

case 4: templateName = "FTI";

break;

case 5: templateName = "IRI";

break;

case 6: templateName = "MCCI";

break;

case 7: templateName = "SFI";

break;

case 8: templateName = "STI";

break;

case 9: templateName = "TRI";

break;

}

// if we have a template name, spawn the template

if (templateName != "") {

var t = this.getTemplate(templateName);

t.spawn();

}

How many pages are there in the file before you spawn the template?

Are you always spawning the new pages as the last pages of the file?
