Hi everyone,

I have a large document with 200 pages and a .csv file with 200 records. What I want is to assign every record to a page in numeric order. So first page has first row, second page - second row etc. Is this possible with scripting? If so, how can I start writing my script. Any tips appreciated.

Why would you not use the built-in DataMerge feature? https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/data-merge.html

Because data merge uses one page to export all the records. And I have 200 pages and 200 records. If I use data-merge I would end up with 40000 pages in pdf

That doesn't make sense.  I use Data merge all the time with designing Real Estate listing ads and it doesn't do that.
