I think you have misunderstood… This is a boolean property that allows you to move the pages NOT a method that shuffles your document pages about…

Hi Muppet,

Thanks for your response...

In scripting Guide CS3 in page 14 this is the program i am checking write now

var myDocument = app.documents.add();
with(myDocument.documentPreferences){
pageHeight = "800pt";
pageWidth = "600pt";
pageOrientation = PageOrientation.landscape;
pagesPerDocument = 16;
}

After that i go to Scripting Reference CS2 for refer all document preferences in that "allowPagesShuffle and "facingPages" that i seen.

Then i used shuffle and facing pages what i mentioned in the 1st question.

Please show one small demo for my 10 pages active document.

Thanks
Learner
