getPageSelection()

Use this method to get page selection information from a multi-page selection.

Use the JavaScript method getPageSelection() to retrieve information on a multi-page selection.

When a user selects a range of pages in the Thumbnails view by using Shift+Click, CTRL+Click, or CTRL+A, a JSON string can be retrieved with the number of selected pages and the total range of all selected pages.  

Sample syntax

The following code provides an example of a response JSON from getPageSelection():  

{
  "pageSelectionInfo": [
    {
      "name": "PagesSelected",
      "value": "232"
    },
    {
      "name": "Pages",
      "value": "[1-228, 230, 233-235]"
    }
  ]
}

PagesSelected returns the total number of pages that are selected and Pages returns a comma-separated array of page ranges that are selected.
