javascript code to create new page from clipboard

I would like to know how can I create this Script, and be able to paste what I have in the clipboard right after the last page that I have. For example, if you copied an image to the clipboard I want to press the button or Call the code and  the image have  inserted   followed by my last page that I have in my file.
 I want to achieve this using code of Java Script

Opps, I was mistaken, This line of code will insert a new page from clipboard data, when run from a privileged context.

It requires the user to specify the page location:

 

app.execMenuItem("InsertPagesCB");

The short answer is NO. There are not Acrobat scripting features for handling clipboard content, but there are menu items for pasting annotations, and even inserting a page from clipboard content.  While Acrobat JavaScript can execute a menu item, these particular ones are off limits.

This is not possible with a script.
