Stretching/translating a layer into another document

I probably just have my math wrong, but given a selection box boundary (or boundaries), I'm trying to resize it so that it's the size of a target document and then translate it so it's in the top-left corner taking up the whole screen (so what's in square selection takes up whole screen. Now if I duplicate the layer in the same document and scale it using the document's dimensions and translate, it fills the whole screen. However, if duplicate the layers into a target document and scale and translate according to its dimensions, the layer is the correct size, but wildly off position (most of the time off the page). I would think the translation would be independent of the destination doc and based just on the scale and (minX,minY) of the selection box.
Is my math off or is there something funny about duplicating a layer into another document? I'm guessing it's the former, but I keep doing it in my head and the math looks sensible.
var layer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;
//layer.isBackgroundLayer = false;
var layers = new Array(thumbnails.length);
//layers[0] = layer;
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
    layers[i] = layer.duplicate(documentTarget);
var srcDocument = app.activeDocument;
app.activeDocument = documentTarget;
// for every layer, go through translating and resizing based on the box size
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
    var selectionBox = thumbnails[i];
    var scaleX = documentTarget.width.as("px") / (selectionBox["maxX"] - selectionBox["minX"]);
    var scaleY = documentTarget.height.as("px") / (selectionBox["maxY"] - selectionBox["minY"]);
    layers[i].resize(scaleX * 100, scaleY * 100, AnchorPosition.TOPLEFT);
    layers[i].translate(new UnitValue(-selectionBox["minX"] * scaleX, "px"),
                                new UnitValue(-selectionBox["minY"] * scaleY, "px"));

.. Why would minX,minY be different assuming the layer is duplicated to the topleft of the target document at 0,0?
That was the point I was trying to make. That assumption is incorrect. The duplicated layer will not be at 0,0 unless both documents are the same size and resolution. The duped layer is centered in the new doc. Only when the sizes match will the positions match. Otherwise the new top left position could be anywhere including off canvas( negative values ).
If you don't want to change minX, minY for some reason you could add code to align the layer to the top left before the translate line.
function align(type){
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
     var ref = new ActionReference();
       ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Lnkd" ));
   desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref);
   desc.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Usng" ),charIDToTypeID( "ADSt" ), charIDToTypeID( type ) );
   executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Algn" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );;
function alignTopLeft(){
align("AdTp");
align("AdLf");
app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll();
alignTopLeft();
app.activeDocument.selection.deselect();

Using Photoshop scripting copy a layer and paste into another document at a particular selection

I want to copy a layer of a document and paste it into another document in the particular layer selection..

Thanks Badunit for your quick response
I have found the answer - it is a incompatabilty between CopyPaste Pro and Numbers: -
Thanks dbg1596 - solved my problem with which I wasted a good couple of hours getting more and more frustrated with numbers 3.0
I had the same problem - copy a cell - paste into another cell and it created three vertical cells with the pasted data in the middle
Definitely a problem between CopyPaste Pro - one of the most useful aps on my Mac for the last many years
Once I quit CopyPaste Pro - no problem with pasting in Numbers 3.0
But I use CopyPaste Pro all the time
Have the folks responded to your query?
But I use CopyPaste Pro all the time - hope that it can be sorted sooner rather than later

(NOT SOLVED) Duplicate layers into another document

Hello, honorabe participants of Photoshop Scripting forum!
I have a problem - how to implement in action/script duplication of two linked layers from one document to another already opened document? Linked layers is a specially formatted text, so I can't just copy-paste them into opened document. Already opened document is a CR2-file.
When I record action, PS also record name of the reciever-document. But this name changes when I open another file so all acation breaks.
PS can record 'Select next document' and 'Select previous document', but cant' record 'Duplicate layers into previous document'.
Please, help me to solve my problem.

How do I merge multiple artboards into another document?

I am working on a team, and we'd like to combine our work into a master document that contains all of our different artboards.
I have a UI document set up with multiple sets of different artboards. I.E. a row of 32x32 artboards with individual small icons, a row of 60x60 artboards with bigger icons, etc. so recreating these would be very cumbersome.
I know it's possible to just copy paste everything into one document, but what is the strategy for copying the artboards as well?
I'm currently looking at having to rebuild the artboards in the master document, so any help would be MUCH appreciated!! Thank you.
-Nick

Ah that's something! I drew 32x32 rectangles around my icons, copied rectangles+icons over to new document. Then selected just the rectangles around the icons and did Object > Artboards > Convert to Artboards
Now I just have to rename them again, which is not as bad as recreating each one. That's pretty awesome, thank you Monika!
Further question for Monkia/Adobe/comminuty: is there an even more automatic way to merge artboards from two files together? Ideally it would just merge all the artboards to a new file (in the same place, etc).
The Artboard feature makes Illustrator a very viable tool for app UI design (center icons in individual art boards, export with transparency, at different resolutions etc). Having icons be symbols is also useful - change an icon, it propagates throughout the layout.
However, not being able to merge artboards (with respective names) from different files prevents it from being terribly useful for teams.
I found a discussion regarding a script for CS5 by CarlosCanto that seems to do this, but it doesn't work on CS6:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/954411
Again, thank you Monika, your advice just saved me a TON of time, and I hope this feature makes it into future versions of Illustrator.

After hiighlighting a word and pasting it into another document, the clipboard does not clear ;when I hit enter it pastes again and again. How do I fix it?

When I highlight a word or phrase and copy to the clipboard, then paste it in another area the clipboard does not clear the phrase. Therefore, every time as I type and hit the enter key it continues to paste the phrase all over my document. I do have the latest download of Firefox installed (16.0, win 7 and that is when this started. How do I stop this obnoxious behavior so I can type a sentence with normalcy?

Thank you, Iusually do that first thing with any computer problems. Old school computer fix. Hard Boot regardless! lol Thanks again.

Know any reason why color swatch coverts to black when I copy and paste into another document?

I keep having issues when I copy and paste a table from one document to the next. Some of the PMS ink colors convert to black. Anyone have a clue?

In colors in the table or elsewhere in the file? Are you using table or cell styles? If so, did you define new ones or redifine the defualts? The general principle to remember when moving content from file to file is that anything like styles or swatches that appear with the same name in both documents will use the definition from the receiving file.
Anothe possibility, though less likely, is that you've used the ink manager to alias the spot color to black.

How do I move all of my contacts from one iCloud contacts group into another group (all iCloud) without having to make all my contacts again?

So on my iPod I have all of my contacts but on my iPad I don't. This is because my contacts are NOT in the iCloud group. Is it possible to move all of your contacts to a different group (for me iCloud group) so I can have my contacts on my iPad (without having to creat all of my contacts again in the iCloud group from scratch). Thanks :)

Do the contacts that are not in iCloud belong to an external account such as Gmail, Yahoo or an Exchange account? Or, do they belong to On My iPhone?

Is it possible to insert a document into another?

I would like to insert a document into another document without cutting and pasting. That is, to "insert" it into the present document. I have been unable to find that option. Is it possible?

It would seem a logical function, though Pages is in essence a $30.00 program so it's not going to have all the features one might wish. You can submit feedback to Apple on the issue here, though:

How to place grouped items into another object with content collector tool?

Is it possible to paste a group into another object (i.e. frame) by using the Content Collector Tool while linking the content? Paste Into is either deselected or possibly whatever was last saved to the clipboard ends up inserting. I was able to place grouped, linked content into a frame (and later applied a scrollable frame overlay to it) once or twice but can't seem to repeat. Tried selecting the object being pasted into.. holding shift, holding ctrl, all kinds of options, just very confused now.

Found a potential work-around (I think....).
1. Use the Content Collector tool and select grouped objects
2. Select Content Placer tool, check "Create Link"
3. Place grouped object into doc/onto page with Content Placer tool
4. Copy placed grouped objects
5. Paste into frame that will be scrollable later
For now it seems like the link still works

JTextPane: Insert one (part of) a Document into another

Hi, it is much more simpler than i thaught.
use the getLength method of the Document-Interface.
e.g.:
                InputStream in1; // Streams of your Files
     InputStream in2; // Streams of your Files
     RTFEditorKit rtf = new RTFEditorKit();
     Document doc = rtf.createDefaultDocument();
     try{
         rtf.read(in1, doc,0);
         int x = doc.getLength();
         rtf.read(in2,doc,x);
     }catch(BadLocationException ble){
     }catch(IOException ioe){
     }use this value in the read-method as pos and your second doc is concated to the first.
Or any other pos you like.
Hope this is what you are lokking for.
Greetings Michael

How to insert a pages document into another pages document?

How can I insert a pages document into another one?
How can I insert 1 page of a document into another document?

Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

Script to copy Layer/Group to another Open Document?

Hi, I know this topic has been covered many times before. But to clarify, here's what I'm wondering:
Copy the active layer/group to another open document in Photoshop. The simple way is to go to "Layer/Duplicate Layer..." . But this is very tedious. For starters, when you choose that method, and then select the document that you'd like to copy to via the pull-down menu, it successfully copies the layer/group to that document, but it doesn't auto-switch (activate) to the document it was just copied to. You have to hit "Ok", and then manually search through the open documents list via (Window/*choose your document*) to get there. This is a nightmare when you're trying to do this many times.
Here is what I am wondering:
Is it possible to:
a) copy the active layer/group to the clipboard/memory
b) switch to another existing document in Photoshop *via a custom menu* which shows all existing documents
c) once switched to the new existing document, paste that layer/group from the clipboard into that document
..is that possible?
At the very least, are there any scripts that anyone knows of that allows the user to switch between existing documents via a custom menu instead of going to Window/*choose your document* ?

This might help with Groups and some other kinds of Layers.
But it takes the easy route with the target file by using the name to identify it.
