Some feedback from gpittman: Plan A "...one could, of course, use the copyObject() and pasteObject() functions to copy all objects to a new page. Plan B would be to have the current document saved, then use importPage() to import page(s) from its own copy on disk. importPage() is pretty flexible. I think this is in the category of something probably not worth creating for Scripter. It's so easy to do on the canvas, what's the point in doing it in a script? As I have said in the past, you want to use scripts for things that are difficult or tedious on the canvas." Any community feedback on this? |

MHO to this feedback is the following: Lets create a snippet that people can use to get this done and post it in a prominent place. A Scripter tutorial if you will. 1) How to copy all the objects on a page 2) How to copy all the objects across certain page numbers 3) How to copy all the objects in a whole document As to 'what's the point in doing it in a script' if it's easier to do in canvas...? For example, if someone was interested in automation of a process (especially in light of 0012572) I think that this is a relevant and valid request. |

you know how much i love the copy and paste object scripter function :-) this should be solved by importing the page from the other document. it's just a matter of exposing the function to the scripter. if needed, we should extend it, to let it import from an open document. |

There are other ways to achieve this effect. We will provide examples for the community so no further feature requests should be filed. Resolving this for now. |
