Those scripts will likely work in our Editor as well.
However those will output a list of the bookmarks to the command line of the JS console. They will not rename the bookmarks for you in the bookmarks pane.

Kind regards,
Stefan

That is not an error. The code uses "App.alert" - which throws a pop-up message with the information.
So the script actually works exactly as it should - it's just an example that is quite tedious for a long file with a lot of bookmarks!
(I tested with a 310 page file ... so I had to do A LOT of clicks to go through that script - and they could have used Console.println as the other one )

Kind regards,
Stefan

In the script below change DELIM for a different string to put before the page number, and MAXDEPTH to the depth into sub-bookmarks to go.

Code: Select all

// script to add page number to bookmark names
//  Note that the page number is static (ie if a page is added or deleted,
//  the page number on the bookmark is just text and will be unchanged)

{
	// this is the character that goes between the name and the page number	
	const DELIM = " p.";
	// change to the number deep you want to add page numbers
	const MAXDEPTH = 1;

	function getPage(bkm) {
		// does bookmark action and returns the page
		bkm.execute();
		return bkm.doc.pageNum;
	}

	function addPgnum(bkm, depth) {
	// step through children
	if (depth < MAXDEPTH && bkm.children) {
		for (let b of bkm.children) {
			addPgnum(b,depth+1);
		}
	} 
	// rename this bookmark
	bkm.name += DELIM + getPage(bkm);
	}
	
	// save the viewstate because using action to find the page number
	let vState = this.viewState;
	// step through bookmarks
	addPgnum(this.bookmarkRoot, 0);
	// restore viewstate
	this.viewState = vState;
}

If you add more pages, and you'd like to delete the pattern.

e.g. if you know the suffix is %[Page]/%[PagesCount]

and you'd like to use a new format , like just %[Page] instead, how would you go forth?

How would you for example remove "/%[PagesCount]" from all bookmarks

\s?[0-9]+/[0-9]+$

(\s?[0-9]+/[0-9]+)?$
