Hello all,

I am using a script to remove oversets by adding pages with linked text frames to the end of the document. When I am done removing the oversets, I check to make sure the document ends on a left page; if not, I am using the code below to add an extra page. However, the page ends up as a second right hand page right next to the previous one. How do I ensure that the page I add is a left-hand page. Thanks in advance.

// Set a variable for the active document.
var oDoc = app.activeDocument;

// Call a function to remove the oversets
//...

// Make sure the document ends on a left page.
if (oDoc.pages[-1].side == PageSideOptions.RIGHT_HAND)
{
  AddPageAndLinkedTextFrame(oDoc);
}

function AddPageAndLinkedTextFrame(oDoc)
{
  var oPage = oDoc.pages.add(LocationOptions.AFTER,oDoc.pages[-1]);
  var oTextFrame = oPage.textFrames.add();
  oTextFrame.geometricBounds = GetPageMarginBounds(oDoc,oPage);
  oTextFrame.previousTextFrame = oDoc.pages[-2].textFrames[0];
}

in "standard" document - without page shuffling, etc. - you can do something like this (VB):

if mydoc.pages.item(a) mod 2 then
  ' right page
else
  ' left page
endif
