Field Type Description
height float The height of the current page (in points).
page Number Current page number (counting from 1) within the resource.
pages Number The total number of pages in the resource.
width float The width of the current page (in points)
Examples
This script retrieves the second page of a PDF that is present in the template's resources.
var pdf = resource("images/stamp.pdf", 2);
var height = pdf.height;
var width = pdf.width;
var numberOfPages = pdf.pages;
In this script, the function is used to check if a file exists.
if(resource("C:/paw.pdf")){
//exists
} else {
//oops
}
results
The results object (type: QueryResults) contains the HTML element or set of HTML elements
matched by the selector of the script. The selector of a script can be specified in the Script
Editor and is visible in the second column of the Scripts pane, next to the name of the script.
If, for example, a script would have the selector p.onlyCanada, the script would apply to all
paragraphs that have the class onlyCanada. (Classes can be defined in the Attributes pane at
the right: select the element in the content and type the class(es) in the Class field.)
The script could then use the results object to hide or show those paragraphs, depending on
the value of the data field Country in the current record:
if (record.fields["Country"] == "CANADA") {
results.show();
} else {
