Page Range

When it is possible to determine a page range for activities in a workflow, you can specify certain pages or a range according to the following formatting guidelines.

List of Pages

You can specify a comma delimited list of pages.

Example: 1, 2, 5, 7

Result: 1, 2, 5, 7

Range of Pages

You can also specify a range of pages. The starting and ending numbers in the range determine the first and last pages to be processed.

Example: 1-7

Result: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Steps

You can specify a step for the pages the process will run on. This is particularly useful if you want a process to run on only even or odd pages.

Example: 1@

Result: 1, 3, 5, 7...

Example: 2@

Result: 2, 4, 6, 8...

The default step value is 2, as demonstrated above, but you can specify a different step value.

Example: 1@3

Result: 1, 4, 7, 10...

Combination

The above formats can be combined to create a custom page range.

Example: 2, 3-10@3

Result: 2, 3, 6, 9

Tokens

You can select a token to specify a page number or part of a page range.
