Hi,
I am new to JavaScritp as well as the JavaScript API. My end goal is to create a button that will take each page of the currently active document and insert it after the last page of each document in the list. It seems that app.activeDocs.bringToFront(); and app.execMenuItem("GoForwardDoc") only change the current view, not the application's operational focus. Does anybody know of any way to change operational focus?
While writing the code I have set it to not repeat. Currently, it inserts each page of the source into itself even though it should re-run documentFileName+"";
var docs = app.activeDocs;
var source = this.documentFileName;
//var target = app.execMenuItem("GoForwardDoc"); + documentFileName+"";
console.println('The source is ' + source);
if (docs.length <= 1){
app.alert("You must have at least 2 PDF's open for this operation.");
}
else{
app.execMenuItem("GoForwardDoc");
console.println("You are now looking at the target document");
documentFileName+"";
console.println("the target document is " + this.documentFileName);
this.insertPages({nPage:this.numPages-1, cPath: source});
}
This is an older sample - I continued to work on this at home from my laptop to call a function 'getDocName' but the results were identical.
Consol prints:
The source is Doc1.pdf
You are now looking at the target document
the target document is Doc1.pdf
undefined
