Need help to script MasterSpread page count

[arnoldrodrigues]

Hello, I need some help to understand how to script the number of pages in the master page to 1.

I keep having to manually set the page count to 1, so I'd like to see if there was a way to script this?

If you intend to delete the pages in a spread you can use something like the following

app.documents[0].masterSpreads.itemByName("A-Master").pages[-1].remove()

This will remove the last page of the master spread named A-Master. If the masterspread has only a single page the above code removes the masterspread totally. So you could iterate the masterspreads and delete pages until it's left with only a single page
