Placing PDF on Even or Odds rather than All Pages.

[GHDakota]

Hello! Is there any way to have the script only apply to evens or odds rather than all pages? I need to place my PDF onto all even pages and can't figure out the code to make this happen nor a way to do such! Thanks!

Unfortunately no built-in way but what I usually do is split the original PDF in Acrobat.
This post describes a fairly efficient method to select all even/odd pages - you just have to export them into a new PDF instead of deleting them.

Alternatively, Acrobat's Organize Pages toll has an option to extract only odd/even pages: https://youtu.be/NBK5-TKChwI?t=114

I see - I was trying to take a PDF of about 120 pages and import it to only the evens in ID - So if you placed it on page 2 and then the import/script would then place 2,4,6,8 etc. What I did and it just took a little longer was use blanks in the PDF and then imported with your script and since the blanks show as frames I just ignored them! Thanks for the reply though I really appreciate it! I took a peak into the script to see if it was possible for me to change, but figured my way was a good bandaid!

For anyone else stumbling on this - attached is a version which allows inserting every X pages, rather than all. It is not tested at all but got the job done that I needed at the time. Can't be bothered with the pull request etc as it's rushed - maybe maintainer will spend a bit of time testing and merging.

I've used it by running twice - e.g. 1st run Pages 1-10, every 2 pages, start doc page 1, top right. 2nd run Pages 2-10, every 2 pages, start doc page 2, top left.
