Question

Move pages between documents keeping threads

Hi all,

This is my problem. I'm trying to move several pages from different spreads into another document. I´m trying it this way:

doc2.pages.itemByRange(0, 2).duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_END,doc1);

where doc1 and doc2 are my documents. This works fine but when i have threaded texts the threads are broken.

I have tried to move spreads instead of pages this way:

doc2.spreads.itemByRange(0, 2).duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_END,doc1);

and now the threads between pages in the same spread aren´t broken, but the threads between pages in different spreads are.

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Alvaro

You need to rethread te text frames yourself...

Is that the way the menu option "Move Pages..." from the Pages panel works?

There it seems to do what i want... do they rethread the text frames there too?

Thanks Harbs.

I don't know what Adobe's engineers did under the hood, but probably

something like that...
