copy and paste in single page document

Question

Hi, Is there someone who could help me with this?
Altough it seems not so complicated I couldn't find any script that do this.

I have a file with multiple objects in it (any object is a group of element such as an image+text frame), I need to copy and paste some of them in another file, one object any single page.

is there someone who can help me?

thanks!!

I know the Content Collector tool, but as I need to do this action many times I would like to know if a script like this already exists. However, the possibility to select the objects I need is a plus, I could easily avoid this passage if it is too tricky. Maybe it would be possible with script label.

Script labels can be used to determine which objects to copy/paste. But you still need to manually enter them (unless the content come from some sort of a data merge process.

Scripts can be done. Never encounter any that does this specifically. If you need to do this often, it’s probably worth paying someone to write it to your specific needs.

It could be automated - if you can provide some unique info - for example that unique ID - that will let script find groups you want to copy.

Or script can give you list of all texts retrieved from the document - then you can select all you want to copy - much more efficient than selecting one-by-one in the INDD document...
