I have a parent page that contains 4 text frames. The first and last contain the book name and page number, respectively. I want to keep these as they are.
The two text frames in the middle of each page are placeholders, and I want these to be labelled, sequentially, "Question 1", "Question 2", "Question 3", etc.
E.g. Page 1 --> Question 1 | Question 2, Page 2 --> Question 3 | Question 4, Page 3 --> Question 5 | Question 6
I have been fiddling with chatgpt trying to figure this out but I the result is not quite right.
This is what I have so far, and it only adds the label to one box and not the other:
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
// Loop through each page
for (var i = 0; i < myDocument.pages.length; i++) {
var page = myDocument.pages.item(i);
// Override master page items and update text frames
for (var j = 0; j < page.masterPageItems.length; j++) {
var masterItem = page.masterPageItems[j];
if (masterItem instanceof TextFrame) {
var overriddenItem = masterItem.override(page);
// Calculate Question numbers for this page (only for the 2nd and 3rd text frames)
if (j === 1 || j === 2) {
var questionNumber = i * 2 + j;
overriddenItem.contents = "Question" + questionNumber;
}
}
}
}
masterPageItems[1]
andmasterPageItems[2]
are the correct master page items for these two text frames?
