Javascript Page Count

[JonnyDL]

OK here is an easy one to answer I cant figure out how to get a page count, Ive looked on the web and I cant find anything (that works)?

Im just starting a script to put items on specific pages. This what I thought should work, but dosent?

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

var Count = myDocument.numPages;

alert('This document has ' + Count + ' pages.', 2, 0);

*also tried

var Count = myDocument.pages.numPages;

what am I not seeing/understanding to make this work?

Hi,

look up DOM documentation. E.g. Jongware's:

Indesign JavaScript Help

Pages have a length property.

If you want to change the number of pages in a document you can use method add() of object Pages.

Or you can change that directly at document level with the document preferences:

Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model JS: DocumentPreference

See into pagesPerDocument and startPageNumber .
