Hi All,
I've been testing the script now for the past few weeks, though it's been working great we've hit a snag.
The script seems to work great with documents that have one master page. But it seems to screw up if there are several master pages (i.e. B, C, D etc)
Is this something that is doable? Below is the script that works fine with just one master page
var order="2-13, 15-26, 28-39, 1, 14, 27 ,40, 41-45";
// Create an array out of the list:
ranges = toSeparate (order);
if (ranges.length != app.activeDocument.pages.length)
{
alert ("Page number mismatch -- "+ranges.length+" given, "+app.activeDocument.pages.length+" in document");
exit(0);
}
// Consistency check:
sorted = ranges.slice().sort(numericSort);
for (a=0; a<sorted.length-1; a++)
{
if (sorted < sorted[a+1]-1 ||
sorted == sorted[a+1])
alert ("Mismatch from "+sorted+" to "+sorted[a+1]);
}
// alert ("New order for "+order+"\nis "+ranges.join(", "));
// Convert from 1..x to 0..x-1:
for (moveThis=0; moveThis<ranges.length; moveThis++)
ranges[moveThis]--;
for (moveThis=0; moveThis<ranges.length; moveThis++)
{
if (moveThis != ranges[moveThis])
{
try{
app.activeDocument.pages[ranges[moveThis]].move (LocationOptions.BEFORE, app.activeDocument.pages[moveThis]);
} catch(_) { alert ("problem with page "+moveThis+"/index "+ranges[moveThis]); }
}
for (updateRest=moveThis+1; updateRest<ranges.length; updateRest++)
if (ranges[updateRest] < ranges[moveThis])
ranges[updateRest]++;
}
function toSeparate (list)
{
s = list.split(",");
for (l=0; l<s.length; l++)
{
try {
if (s.indexOf("-") > -1)
{
indexes = s.split("-");
from = Number(indexes[0]);
to = Number(indexes[indexes.length-1]);
if (from >= to)
{
alert ("Cannot create a range from "+from+" to "+to+"!");
exit(0);
}
s = from;
while (from < to)
s.splice (++l,0,++from);
}} catch(_){}
}
// s.sort (numericSort);
return s;
}
function numericSort(a,b)
{
return Number(a) - Number(b);
}
