Place assets only on First page

[shilpa25]

Hi Forum,

I m wondering, if can i place my Library assets.item(0) only on first page.

Because the below script places the Library assets, when i click a particular page...

Instead, when i run the script, the assets should be placed only on the first page..

Is it possible... I tried this way.. but doesnt works...

pg = app.activeDocument.pages.item(0);

//myrect = pg.rectangles.add(); (i tested with adding rectangles on the first page, it works)

var Lib = app.libraries[0].assets[0].placeAsset[pg][0];

thanks for the help forum...

onDocument

Text

Those are the possibilties.

So only a trick would work:

Create a empty textframe on destpage and place the asset on its insertionpoints[0].

Then set anchored objectsettings to customized (x,y to textframe top/ left zero).

detach the anchored object. Delete the textframe.

otherwise conventionell:

move the object after placing on document to any page.

hi -hans- thanks very much for your quick response.....

will moving the object placed to any page is possible. because i have a little bit confusing on selecting the placed object (if is the grouped text) alongwith the other text boxes on the same page.

how can i refer the placed object in script.

sorry for the confused state of question....

thanks for the reply.

hi -hans-

thanks for you brilliant idea...

now, i have tried like this...

pg = app.activeDocument.pages.item(0);

var myObj = app.libraries[0].assets[0].placeAsset(app.documents[0])[0];

app.select(myObj);

app.selection[0].move (app.activeDocument.pages[0]);

( it would be appreciate, if i get idea for delesecting the previous selected items and then select the corrently placed one).

thanks - hans-

[-hans- · Accepted solution]

no need to select as you've already stored the obj in myObj

var currDoc = app.activeDocument;

var myObj = app.libraries[0].assets[0].placeAsset(currDoc)[0];

myObj.move(currDoc.pages[0]);
