How add page number as hyperlink with scripts

[sohrabs6818113]

Hi

I have this script

found[0].contents = finds[0].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.name;  

which It puts the page number in a field.

is it anyway to make this number hyperlink? it means when click on number goes to the page?

Try this :

var main = function(paragraph) {
var doc = app.properties.activeDocument, pages, names = [], page, 
n = 0, i = 0, tf, text, source, destination, hyperlink;
if ( !doc ) return;
tf = doc.pages[0].textFrames.add();
pages = doc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
n = pages.length;
while ( i<n ) {
tf.parentStory.recompose();
page = pages;
tf.parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].contents = page.name;
tf.parentStory.recompose();
tf.overflows && tf.fit( FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT );
text = tf.parentStory.lines[-1];
source = doc.hyperlinkTextSources.add( text );
destination = doc.hyperlinkPageDestinations.add( page );
doc.hyperlinks.add ( source, destination, {name:"Go to page "+page.name } );
i<n && tf.parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].contents ="\r";
i++;
}
}
var u;
app.doScript ( "main(app.activeDocument.stories[0].paragraphs[-1])",u,u,UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "The Script" );

But I have this feeling that should be achievable through standards features :S

HTH anyway

Yes this feature already existe

Just select the page Number and choose hyperlink in the panel to add it

I think the best technique to answer your question and turn the numbering boc into a button is choose the action "Go to the next page"

Interactive: Convert to Button

Apply the action you want

And the 3nd solution :

Go to text menu, choose Hyperlink and Cross-references

Choose the link type, page in this case

You can choose the document

Choose the page Number

Choose a zoom type if you want

And voilà !!

I hope you Will find the answer betweem this 3 options
