//Reverse Page Order
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myFrame = myDoc.textFrames.everyItem();
for (var i = myDoc.pages.length - 1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
myFrame[i].move (myFrame.parentPage.documentOffset);

Just move the pages

 

 

var pages = app.activeDocument.pages;
var numPages = pages.length -1;
for (var i = numPages; i >= 0; i--) {
   pages[i].move(LocationOptions.AT_END);
}

Hi,

 

I also need this for my publication. However, I haven't had any experience with adding this code to my indesign file... Can someone direct me or explain how to do this?

 

Thanks,

Leroy
