I took the file you sent me and this seems to work as intended. I increased the size to make it easier to see.

Yes this seems to work fine :D :D
I intergraded the rest off my workflow into this one. and i get all my lines where i need but still have problem place the text. It now places the tekst on the portrait pages but not on the landscape page.

Ok, so stage by stage.
So my Action enlarges the pages correctly.
What do we need to add next, some text?

You need to put some content into that extra space we just made in the Action?

Yes so far so good. I added some lines where they need to go. and i just need te put some text (order info) on the short side of the page (so with a portrait page the tekst must be at top and bottom, and on landscape page it must be on left and right side)

I send u the action, it works with the portrait page but it does not put the text onto the landscape page.

If you look at the Action I can't see any place that you select Landscape pages and add text?

In the 'tekst invoegen' section where you add the text, you don't have a selection for Landscape pages anywhere?
There are two select by orientation actions in there, but they are both Portrait.

for the landscape nothing happens. the text that is put in at "text invoegen" only comes in the portrait page but not in the landscape page.

This one seems to work with my dummy text.

I didn't use the copy/paste to reposition the text.
It was easier just to use the 'Add Text", but to make it easy I turned off the variable, so you will need to enable that again

I gombined soem of your actionlist to my action list and got something working but not perfect yet.
If i put in te text it jumps around in the corner of the landscape page. The portrait pages are fine (becouse we koppy them from the clipboard)
if the text is short it puts it in the corner but when its a long text in jumps out of the corner.
Is there a way to kopy this also from the clipboard?
