foreEdgePrinting.js

// @includepath "~/Documents/;%USERPROFILE%Documents";
// @include "basiljs/basil.js";

// HOW TO USE:
// - to run the script, you first need to install basil.js: http://basiljs.ch
// - Make sure, you're on the first page of your doc
// - select the page item that you want to appear in the fore edge
// - rotate it accordingly
// - if using text, convert to outlines
// - run the script, enter the required # of pages
// - if you just need the very edge to be printed on, you can just create a new
//   layer, and place a paper colored rectangle on the master page to cover most
//   of the page item

  for (var i = 1; i < targetPageCount; i++) {
    b.addPage();
    b.page(i + 1)

    var dup = b.duplicate(sel);

    b.itemX(dup, b.itemX(dup) - stepWidth * i);
