Is it possible to group 2 objects that are located on 2 different pages. Would it be something like that:
Thank you very much for your help.

Unless I am wrong what you can't do in the UI can't also be done by scripting 😉

You can group objects from distinct pages only if they belong to the same spread.
For instance, if you have a rectangle on page 2 and a rectangle on page 3 in a "facing pages" configuration, this should work:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var r2 = doc.pages[1].rectangles[0]; // rectangle on page 2
var r3 = doc.pages[2].rectangles[0]; // rectangle on page 3// it's better here to handle the parent spread:
var g = doc.spreads[1].groups.add([r2,r3]);
// but this may also work:
// var g = doc.pages[1].groups.add([r2,r3]);
// var g = doc.pages[2].groups.add([r2,r3]);

Hi,
You are so right Marc, I was of course pointing that you can't group objects in different spreads. Sorry for my lack of precision and thank you to you to point this out.
