    I’m looking for a script that will identify all the blank pages that has master pages only but skips all blank page with [None] so that I can remove the applied master page immediately leaving them completely blank. The InDesign Preflight profile only has the option for blank pages to consider pages as empty if they contain only master page items but still flag completely blank pages as error. Thanks.

    Not sure what uou mean by

    Maybe ‘apply [None] to them’? In that case:

    (function () {
      var list = [];
      var pages = app.documents[0].pages.everyItem().getElements();
      for (var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++) {
        if (pages[i].pageItems.length === 0 && pages[i].appliedMaster !== null) {
          list.push (pages[i].name);
          pages[i].appliedMaster = null
        }
      }
      alert ('Blank pages with a master applied: \r\r' + list.join('\r'));
    }());

    The script lists the page numbers as well so you can check.
