Applescript to merge 2 documents

[brianf53273574]

I have a need to merge 2 documents

We always give clients a starting set of ads but sometimes we add a second document depending on the situation.

With the starting document open i want to open a second document and move all the pages to the starting document (there are 2 ad sizes so i have to keep all the full page ads together and all the half page ads together)

I only understand Applescript (javascript is beyond me presently )

Here is what I have so far i just cant get the page to move BETWEEN the 2 docs, I will only put the moving part....

repeat with i from 1 to BCend2
-- this works but stays within the same document
move page (i as integer) to after page (BCend as integer)
--this next line errors i need the right language for pointing to the other document that is open
move page (i as integer) to after page (BCend as integer) of document 2 --(fails)
end repeat

Hi Brian,

Take a look at the Applescript at the bottom of this post, see if you can use this with what you already have to meet your goals.
