Hi there,

Try this below code. This might help you!

var c = 0;
while(c < app.activeDocument.pages.length){
    try{
        var sec = app.activeDocument.sections.add(app.activeDocument.pages);
        sec.continueNumbering = false;
        sec.pageNumberStart = 1;
        }
    catch(e){
        var sec = app.activeDocument.sections[0];
        sec.continueNumbering = false;
        sec.pageNumberStart = 1;
        }
    c++;
    }
