didn't get Last page

In my document has footnotes and texts.  While doing the auto pagination I tired to align the last page via script

But the last page has only five lines. When I try to get he last page the script return the previous page. (Issue only in script running  time)

I tried like below even though its not returning the correct page.

        doc.preflightOptions.preflightOff = false;

        doc.activeProcess.waitForProcess(120);

        doc.preflightOptions.preflightOff = true;

            var pages=doc.pages;

            var lastpage=pages.lastItem();

How do I resolve the issue.

Hi, priyak7746321 ,

maybe the collection of pages you assigned variable pages to is not updated in the moment you want to access the last page in the document?

When you try to access the last page in the document try to resolve the last page like this:

var lastPage = app.documents[0].pages[-1].getElements()[0];

Or you could enforce a total redraw of the document and then access the last page through its collection.

( function()
{
    
    if( app.documents.length == 0 ){ return };
    
    // FWIW: Item by name will not work for "force redraw":
    var forceRedraw = app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(318);
    if( forceRedraw.isValid ){ forceRedraw.invoke() }
    
}() )

Regards,
Uwe

    Thank you so much. It's working fine.

    Please explain the functionality pages[-1].getElements()[0] and why pages.lastItem(); its not working
