How to move sections from one document to another?

In Pages 08 I could merge two documents by simply moving the sections from one document to the other one. By activating the thumbnail-view you could drag and drop sections. In Pages 5.2.2 that doesn't work. Any suggestions? Copy and paste doesn't work, because the layout is broken afterwards.

You only recourse in Pages v5 (any release) is copy/paste between documents, and its layout consequences; follow Peter's advice, or use a non-Apple word processing solution that allows you to get work done effectively. Apple put dumbnation into Pages v5.

[CS3 JS] Move pages from one document to another?

First, a brief explanation of what I am trying to do. I have several individual chapters that I am including in an INDD book. However, I also want to be able to allow those individual chapters to stand alone, meaning that I want to add a cover/title page to each chapter file (these two pages would be placed before the current page 1 of each chapter).
My preference would be to write a script that would open the cover/tp file and open the first chapter file; this part is no problem. Where I am running into trouble however, is the second step: moving the cover/tp pages (2 pages) over into the chapter file.
Manually, I would open Cover.indd, activate the "move pages" menu, "Move pages: 1-2", "Destination: Before_Page 1", "Move to: Chapter1.indd".
With over 100 chapters in the book, however, I would prefer to automate the process. I have looked into the Page.move and PageItem.move elements, but both look like they would require a location in the current document (either in (x,y) form or using "AT_BEGINNING".
If I cannot get this to work, I will likely try to insert two blank pages, then cut/paste with a script, but I would prefer the "move" functionality, if it is possible.
A couple of answers to potential questions:
I can't simply place the INDD cover file b/c it uses a text variable to pull the chapter name; this personalizes each stand-alone chapter.
Same answer to why I can't just slap the 2-page .pdf on the front of each. I need the text variable to still be active.
Has anyone tried to move pages from one document to another using scripting? I tried to explain what I am trying to do, but if it doesn't make sense, I can try again. :)
thanks!
Matt

ok here we are
I get a raw skeleton that you will have to adjust but it's functional.
Use a PDF for placement as you can specify the page that you want to place.
I don't know if you can do the same for indesign files.
So basically, it starts adding 2 pages and placeing the pdf in the same time.
After that, it creates the textVariable and the frame that will receive it.
Here you are:
//If a document is open
if(app.documents.length!=0)
var ad = app.activeDocument;
//Pages placement
for(i=0; i<2; i++)
//Add 2 pages on top of the document;
var tmpPg = ad.pages.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE, ad.pages[0]);
//Here you place your pdf
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = i;
tmpPg.place(File(cover.pdf), false)
//You should specify page x and page y but ain't found yet the way to go.
//Text variable creation
//Check if the textVariable named "txtVar" does not already exist...
if(ad.textVariables.item("txtVar")==null)
//if not found, create the text variable named "txtVar"
var txtVar = ad.textVariables.add();
txtVar.variableType =VariableTypes.CUSTOM_TEXT_TYPE;
txtVar.name = "txtVar";
//Set the contents of the text variables to the string "test"
ad.textVariables.item("txtVar").variableOptions.contents = "test";
//these coordinates don't care aboutyour units but you may adjust them to your needs
var y1 = ad.marginPreferences.left;
var x1 = ad.marginPreferences.top;
var y2 = y1+5;
var x2 = x1+25;
var myFrame = ad.pages[0].textFrames.add({geometricBounds:[y1,x1,y2,x2]});
//Set the contents of the frame to the text variables "txtVar"
myFrame.contents=ad.textVariables.item("txtVar").variableOptions.contents;
//You may want to stylize the txtVar
//In this case, either you use a existing characterStyle or you create one in the script

just call the following proc in your add & add all buttons. Reverse the code for REMOVEs
this proc will move one item at a time from list_item1 to list_item2.
PROCEDURE add_an_item
IS
v_list_count    NUMBER;
v_item1_label VARCHAR2(60);
BEGIN
IF :list_item1 IS NOT NULL THEN v_list_count := nvl(Get_List_Element_Count('list_item1'),0);
      IF v_list_count >= 1 THEN FOR i IN 1..v_list_count
      LOOP
         IF   :list_item1    = Get_List_Element_Value('list_item1', i)
         THEN
              v_item1_label := Get_List_Element_label('list_item1', i);
              Add_List_Element('list_item2',1,v_item_label,:list_item1);
           Delete_List_Element('list_item1',i);
           Exit;
         END IF;
      END LOOP;
       END IF;
   END IF;
END;
*********************************************************************************this proc will move all items from list_item1 to list_item2.

Copy/Move Layerset From One Document To Another Without Flattening

Hello,
Does anyone know how to move a layerset from one document to another using JavaScript ExtendScript, but without having to flatten the layers first as I still need to edit them after the move.
Many Thanks,
James

This requires that you have the the two documents open the first document open is the one you are copying from with the layer/layers selected.
activeDocument=documents[0];
dupLayers();
function dupLayers() {
    var desc15 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref12 = new ActionReference();
        ref12.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
    desc15.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref12 );
        var ref13 = new ActionReference();
        ref13.putName( charIDToTypeID('Dcmn'), documents[1].name );
    desc15.putReference( charIDToTypeID('T   '), ref13 );
    desc15.putInteger( charIDToTypeID('Vrsn'), 2 );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Dplc'), desc15, DialogModes.NO );

When I move pages from one document to another, it creates a new alternate layout.

Hello,
I'm having an issue with combining some documents. Usually I use the "move pages" command and tell the pages to integrate with another document. However, because of the new alternate layout feature, both documents have the default layouts as "Letter V". So when I move pages from one document to the end of another, it creates a new alternate layout labeled "Letter V2" and "Letter V3" etc. Is there a way to make the pages just go into the main layout of Letter V without creating a new alternate layout? How do I merge alternate layouts created in the integrated document? All documents are the same page size and orientation.
Thank you kindly,
Sheena

Petrill,
Thank you. I was trying to do that yesterday, but it was grayed out. It seemed to work alright today.

How to move files from one folder to another folder in webdynpro java for sap portal

My requirement is in my portal 1000 transport packages is their. Now i want to move 1 to 200 TP's into Archive folder.
Can you please help me how to do in through portal or wd java ...

Chakri

Hello,
Do you know what the difference between copying a file this way :
** Fast & simple file copy. */
public static void copy(File source, File dest) throws IOException {
FileChannel in = null, out = null;
try {
in = new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
out = new FileOutputStream(dest).getChannel();
long size = in.size();
MappedByteBuffer buf = in.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, size);
out.write(buf);
} finally {
if (in != null) in.close();
if (out != null) out.close();
================SECOND WAY============
AND THIS WAY:
// Move file (src) to File/directory dest.
public static synchronized void move(File src, File dest) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
copy(src, dest);
src.delete();
// Copy file (src) to File/directory dest.
public static synchronized void copy(File src, File dest) throws IOException {
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);
// Transfer bytes from in to out
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
in.close();
out.close();
And which is better? I read up on what each kind of does but still a bit unclear as to when it is good to use which.
Thanks in advance,
JavaGirl

How to move BLOBs from one table to another ??

Hi All,
I am trying to move blobs from one table to another, however my insert statement is not working. What i mean is its running, but records are not being inserted into the table.
This is my first time moving blobs, so please bear with me.
here is my insert statement:
INSERT INTO CASES.FILESTORAGE
SELECT      DID,
          DRENDITIONID,
          DLASTMODIFIED,
          DFILESIZE,
          DISDELETED,
          BFILEDATA       // this attribute is the BLOB
FROM      USSC_CASES_TMP.FILESTORAGE
WHERE      DID NOT IN (SELECT DID FROM CASES.FILESTORAGE);here is the DDL for the table.
CREATE TABLE "USSC_CASES_TMP"."FILESTORAGE"
    "DID"          NUMBER(*,0) NOT NULL ,
    "DRENDITIONID" VARCHAR2(30 CHAR) NOT NULL ,
    "DLASTMODIFIED" TIMESTAMP (6),
    "DFILESIZE" NUMBER(*,0),
    "DISDELETED" VARCHAR2(1 CHAR),
    "BFILEDATA" BLOB,
    CONSTRAINT "PK_FILESTORAGE" PRIMARY KEY ("DID", "DRENDITIONID")
);CASES.FILESTORAGE table has the same DDL, but in a different schema.
Thanks in advance.

If this seems rather straight forward. If the schema are exact simply execute:
inset into [destination] select * from [source] ;if something is amiss you should be throwing errors someplace* but try this:
create table [scratch table name] as select * from [source table] where [place some limit here] ;If this does not work then something someplace is very wrong and if you are not the DBA you need to get this persons attention, fairly quickly. I would do the above from sqlplus and then after each statement would:
commit;then check to see if it succeeded.
