Get the Frame Placed only on the InDesign Page

[revathiv80720177]

Hi ,

I tried to get the frames placed on the InDesign Page ignoring frames placed outside the page as show in the attached image.

app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textFrames.length

This returns all the frame placed in a document(both in and outside the page).

It is possible to get only the frame placed on the InDesign Page?Please do guide me on this..

Regards,

If you want to find text frames present on a page you can use the text frames collection of Pages like below

app.activeDocument.pages[0].textFrames.length

Also if you have a reference to a textframe and need to identify if it is on a page or not, you can check the parentPage property

//Suppose you want to check if the current selected text frame is present on a page or not
if(app.selection[0].parentPage == null)
     alert("Selection is not present on a page")
else
     alert("Selection is present on a page")

So either you can use the collection that i mentioned or else you can keep using your code and isolate the text frames on page using the parentPage property.
