Read-only property of the script line: Book Format.

The property "# Defined Pages" tells you the number of pages for which you have defined content. It is the total number of pages for all the script lines you have defined.

➢For example: 2 blank pages, 8 pages of Place Holders, 6 pages of PDF Pages, 26 pages of Quark Pages or InDesign Pages, and a DiaryGrid for 52 pages.

As an additional convenience, the value of this property is also displayed, in the scripts editor, in the Book Format script line.

If the value of this property is equal to that of the signature pages property, then that number is displayed alone. If the two values differ, then both are displayed with the number of defined pages appearing first (as shown below).

This property is useful in conjunction with the signature pages property, which tells you the number of available pages physically available following the signatures property layout. Q++Studio will generate a design-time message if there are too many defined pages as compared to the number of signature pages, and another message if there are too few pages.
