    L.S.
    I have a 700+ document and for costing purposes I have to know how many pages have footnotes. Is there a way to automatically count the number of pages that have footnotes ?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi
    Good exercice for practicing scripting.

    Try this script (tested with CS6):
    https://codeshare.io/GkRWrO

    (Note that footnotes on hidden layers are also counted.)

    —–

    Now, my question for scripting gurus:
    I’m struggling with handling overset footnotes.

    Whyyyyyy can I test:
    if (typeof myFootnotes[i].parentTextFrames[0] == “undefined”) {
    //do this
    }

    And NOT include that test as:
    if (myFootnotes[i].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage != null && typeof myFootnotes[i].parentTextFrames[0] != “undefined”) {
    //do that
    }

    This last case returns “undefined is not an object”
    Probably something stupid but I can’t understand why…
