      I would LOVE to hear if anyone has a script that would convert InDesign page numbers to a custom string. Example: Page 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9 an so on. Possibly pull the number in from a Excel doc or Text doc?

      Sorry, I didn't understand the example.

      Are you looking for a script that will number both pages of the spread with the same page number?

      Just thought of one personal need for the original question… I need to mark my pages from an indd file with F1, V1, F2, V2 etc. So the page no 5 would be F3. I was thinking of formulas, or variable (depending on page number), but I didn't manage to make it work.

      But, it could work by importing a text that contains these “F1. V1. F2. V2. …” etc, and placing them in a master page item… So the same goes for Unclejessum's question…

      I'll go and give it a try…

      I can sort of get it working using this method https://creativepro.com/pre…..e-page.php

      But you have to section the page numbering yourself. It's a bit tricky.

      I've no script for it.

      You might be better off making the list in Excel or something and then thread the text into folio frames.
