Hi,

Try following that will count from active page

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var _pages = doc.pages;
var _pageName = 'B-Content'
var activePageIndex = doc.layoutWindows[0].activePage.documentOffset;
var totalCountForMasterPages = 0;
for (var i = activePageIndex; i < _pages.length; i++) {
    if (_pages[i].appliedMaster && _pages[i].appliedMaster.name == _pageName)
        totalCountForMasterPages++;
}
alert("Pages with with '" + _pageName + "'  applied on it is : " + totalCountForMasterPages);

You can count multiple master pages applied document pages...

var doc = app.documents[0];
var pages = document.pages.everyItem().getElements();
var re = /(A-Master|B-Master)/i; //here you can add more master pages...
for(var rs = 0, counter=-1; ++counter<pages.length;){
	pages[counter].appliedMaster && re.test(pages[counter].appliedMaster.name) && rs++;
}
alert("Total pages with 'A-Master' and 'B-Master' are: " + rs);

You're awesome! Thank you!

I have another question.

How can I count pages with applied master from active page to the end of document?

In this example i want to count "B-Content" pages and the result should be 4

p.1 -> A-Master
p.2 -> B-Content
p.3 -> B-Content
p.4 -> B-Content //active Page
p.5 -> B-Content
p.6 -> B-Content
p.7 -> B-Content
p.8 -> A-Master
p.9 -> A-Master
p.10 -> A-Master

Try this jsx:

var nameToFind = "A-Master";

var pgs = app.documents[0].pages.everyItem().getElements();

var count = 0;

for (var i = 0; i < pgs.length; i++) {

try { if (pgs[i].appliedMaster.name === nameToFind) { count++; } } catch(e) {}

}

alert(count);

Hi,

Try following

//Counting pages with master page applied with name 'A-Master'. Use name of your master page instead of 'A-Master'
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var _pages = doc.pages;
var totalCountForMasterPages = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < _pages.length; i++) {
    if (_pages[i].appliedMaster && _pages[i].appliedMaster.name == "A-Master")
        totalCountForMasterPages++;
}
alert("Pages with with 'A-Master' applied on it is : " + totalCountForMasterPages);

Best regards
