3. Same folio comes to the verso page

4. Again add +1 number to the recto page

5. same like as for all pages

Screenshot helps you for better clarifications,

Input:

Output:

Trying Code:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myPages = app.activeDocument.pages;
alert(myPages.length);

myCounter = 0;

for(p=0; p<myPages.length; p++)
{
    myCounter++

     if(myPages
.documentOffset % 2 == 1)  
        {
            var myTF = myPages
.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();
             for(t=0; t<myTF.length; t++)
                {
                    if(myTF.label == "FOLIO")
                        {
                            myTF.contents = String(myCounter)
                            }
                        }

            }   //if condition closing

        else
        {

            var myTF = myPages
.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();

             for(t=0; t<myTF.length; t++)
                {
                    if(myTF.label == "FOLIO")
                        {
                             myTF.contents = String(myCounter)
                            }
                        }

            }   //else closing
        }  //for loop closing

Kindly help for my request.

Hi,

using similar "everyItem()" structure you could assume modifying a proper object:

var
mDoc= app.activeDocument,
counter = 0, k, cID,
labels = mDoc.pages.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().label;
for (k = 0; k < labels.length; k++)
  if (labels == "FOLIO") {
  cID = mDoc.pages.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().id;
  mDoc.textFrames.itemByID(cID).contents = String(++counter);
  }

Hi Jump_Over,

Thanks for your valuable coding...

My request is different, Could you please look at my output screenshot.

Write now, I am struggle for to get the "Numbering & Section" number.   //need help here,

(need to change the myCounter as predefined in the "Numbering & Section" in the first page)

Almost I got my output, any other better coding is appreciable...

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myPages = app.activeDocument.pages;

myCounter = 11;
for(p=0; p<myPages.length; p=p+2)
{

    var myTF = myPages
.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();
    for(t=0; t<myTF.length; t++)
     {
         if(myTF.label == "FOLIO")
         {
             myTF.contents = String(myCounter)
             }
         }
         myCounter++
    }


myCounter = 11;
for(p=1; p<myPages.length; p=p+2)
{
    var myTF = myPages
.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();
    for(t=0; t<myTF.length; t++)
     {
         if(myTF.label == "FOLIO")
         {
             myTF.contents = String(myCounter)
             }
         }

         myCounter++
    }

Hi,

Are you looking for page.appliedSection.pageNumberStart ?

var 
     mDoc= app.activeDocument, 
     mFrames = mDoc.pages.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem(),
     mCounter = mDoc.pages[0].appliedSection.pageNumberStart,
     k, cID,  nID, cCount; 

for (k = 0; k < mFrames.label.length; k = k+2) 
  if (mFrames.label == "FOLIO") { 
       cID = mFrames.id; 
       cCount = String(mCounter++);
       mDoc.textFrames.itemByID(cID).contents = cCount; 
       try {
            nID = mFrames.id[k+1]; 
            mDoc.textFrames.itemByID(nID).contents = cCount; 
            }
       catch (_) { break; }
  }
