(inserted into another file indesign indesign on a specific page)

Hey all !

I'm trying using Script:

1. in a document already open indesign:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

2. place another file. indd 

app.open(File("/c/myTestDocument.indd")); ----> code and not well



3. also be inserted in a specific page, (eg on page 12 of my active.Document or any other page)

var addPages = 2;
// Page number 2 is item(1), since page number 1 is item(0):
var addAfter = app.activeDocument.pages.item(2);

 

to see if I can give Script code to get the result.

thank you very much hope to answer please.

Raul.

Correct answer Harbs.

how to export?

multiple pages ( Paginate Pages / Spreads )

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var myPage = myDoc.pages.item(0);

myPage.place(File("/c/myTestDocument.indd"));  ---> only one page ( my document indd = two page)

What would SCRIPT code right?

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var myPage = myDoc.pages.item(0);

myPage.placemultiple(File("/c/myTestDocument.indd"));  not right

Very thanks, this answer close theme. (if the result is right)


This one's a bit weird:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
app.importedPageAttributes.pageNumber = 1;
var myPage = myDoc.pages.item(0);
myPage.place(File("/c/myTestDocument.indd"));
app.importedPageAttributes.pageNumber = 2;
var myPage = myDoc.pages.item(1);
myPage.place(File("/c/myTestDocument.indd"));

For starters to place a file you would use app.place, not app.open.

Hello Raul,

I have just manged this with:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var myPage = myDoc.pages.item(0);

myPage.place(File("/c/myTestDocument.indd"));

Looks like you need to use "place" for a page.

Cheers,

David
