Parent Pages Pilot 1.1

Parent Pages Pilot 1.1

Smart and flexible parent page assignments, by range, pattern, or content

Parent Pages Pilot is an advanced script that automates the application of parent pages to document pages. It replaces tedious manual parent-page assignments with a powerful, flexible tool that can handle anything from simple bulk application to complex content-driven rules.

The script provides three distinct modes of operation through a tabbed palette interface:

• Page Range — Apply a single parent page to a targeted page scope (range, all, active page, active spread, or Pages-panel selection).
• Pattern-Based Rules — Apply parent pages using repeating numeric intervals, alternating pairs, or fully custom letter-based sequences.
• Content-Aware Rules — Automatically assign parent pages based on what is on each page — paragraph styles, character styles, object styles, linked images, named marker text frames, empty pages, or section boundaries.

Update in 1.1

• Expanded Empty Page rule to 4 options;
• Renamed Clear button to Refresh (reloads parents, styles, and links).

Compatible 2026-2023
