link textFrames

[shilpa25]

Hi Forum,

I have a small bit to link Text Frame between two pages....

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

myDoc.pages[0].textFrames[0].nextTextFrame = myDoc.pages[1].textFrames[0];

but my intention is to link all the textFrames inside the document (total pages is 20 pages and each pages have textFrames unlinked to other pages).

Any possibilities.

thanks & regareds.

Hi Shilpa

You can do it by using the loop,

for(i=0; i<myDoc.pages.length-1;i++){
myDoc.pages.textFrames[0].nextTextFrame = myDoc.pages[i+1].textFrames[0];}

Hi!
This is updated one :

//Relink Unlinked TextFrames in Pages
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

for (var i = 0; i < myDoc.pages.length - 1; i++) {
  var currentPage = myDoc.pages[i];
  var nextPage = myDoc.pages[i + 1];

  var currentTextFrame = currentPage.textFrames[0];
  var nextTextFrame = nextPage.textFrames[0];

  currentTextFrame.nextTextFrame = nextTextFrame;
}

HI @M.Hasanain,

The original code should not have anything failing due to the InDesign version. The only issue I see is the missing array index on the left hand side of the assignement and that may have been due to the forum software migration. The following code should work and is almost the same as the original answer

var myDoc = app.activeDocument
for(var i=0; i < myDoc.pages.length - 1; i++)
    myDoc.pages[i].textFrames[0].nextTextFrame = myDoc.pages[i+1].textFrames[0];
