| Summary | 0011230: activeDocument.activePage.type returning values | ||||
| Description | The code documents the following: in api_page.cpp beginning line 340 /** * Scripter.activeDocument.activePage.type * Returns 0 if LeftPage, 1 if Middle Page, 2 for Right Page */ int PageAPI::type() However, when invoking Scripter.activeDocument.activePage.type in the console, the logic appears to be reversed, where 0 is the rightPage and 2 is the leftPage. So not sure if this is a doc or logic issue. | ||||

Hi Jain, I've been testing the update. My assumption is that pages[] would access each page as if using activePage but without having to set the activePage. What happens is that, even though each page element references a different location, the return objects are always the last page of the document. Have I understood its use correctly? Thanks. ------------ Using the following in the script console on a 5 page test doc with dummy items on each page: <code snippet> ad = Scripter.activeDocument pages = ad.pages print "****** using pages[]" for page in pages : items = page.items print " Page", page.number, "has", len(items), "item(s)" print "****** using setActivePage()" number = ad.pageCount for i in range(0,number): ad.setActivePage(i+1) ap = ad.activePage items = ap.items print " Page", ap.number, "has", len(items), "item(s)" </code snippet> I get the following result: ****** using pages[] Page 5 has 5 item(s) Page 5 has 5 item(s) Page 5 has 5 item(s) Page 5 has 5 item(s) Page 5 has 5 item(s) ****** using setActivePage() Page 1 has 1 item(s) Page 2 has 2 item(s) Page 3 has 3 item(s) Page 4 has 4 item(s) Page 5 has 5 item(s) On 2012-12-05 04:49, Jain Basil Aliyas wrote: > Hello Mark, ale, > > I've added an attribute in document api which will return a list of pages > in a document.
