Hey everyone,
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this out but feel like it must be possible. I need to take the contents of File1 and merge it with File2 page-for-page.
The merged/imported contents should go onto a different layer.
Both files have the same number of pages.
I thought I had it figured out when I used Place to bring the File2 pages over page-for-page onto the new layer in File1. Then I realized the File2 contents were brought over similar to an image/pdf and I wasn't going to be able to edit the contents of the File2 frames within File1.
Any ideas?
thank you!

When you use File>Place it places like an image
On Fille 1 have it open
On File 2 rename your layer
On file 2
On the pages panel - select all the pages
Find the sub menu for Move Pages and select your document
Then select File 1
All pages will move to the selected document
If you need to interleave them you can do it manually - I don't think there's any other choice.

I'm pretty sure, @michelle0822 wants to make a sandwich - have contents of 1st pages from both docs on the 1st page, 2nd pages on the 2nd, and so on.
And have it fully editable.

Yes. It's a workbook. File1 has 80 pages of questions with blank space beneath each. File2 has answers. The page content matches up. I just needed to bring the page content of File2 into the corresponding page in File 2 but on a new layer so that the answers could be toggled on/off. Ended up doing it manually.

I did say if they what to interleave them it would need to be done manually...

I ended up doing similar. Interweaved manually because I was on deadline last night and couldn't figure out a shortcut. Thanks for responding 🙂

Have not implemented it yet in my ID-Tasker tool - but if you can share both your documents - I can combine them for you.

Thanks so much for the offer! I just combined them manually last night.
