Move pages between documents

Hi!
How can i move a page between two documents?

Hi Adam,
Lets say you want to replace page -2 in document -1 with page-2 from document 2.
- Open Document -1 in Designer.
- Without closing Document -1, open Document -2 in designer.
- Goto designer view in document 2. Navigate to page-2. Right click > coly (Note: It will be copied as a subform).
- Goto Document -1. Go to the hierarchy. Select Page-2. Delete.
- In page-1 . Paste. The page-2 would be pasted as a subform.
- Drag the subform in the hierarchy and rename as Page-2.
Second option: If you want you can also use page-2 of document -2 as fragment and embed it in document-1
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
Bibhu.

How to move pages between documents WITHOUT elements shifting

Hi everyone! My team members and I are so frustrated over what I think should be a really simple issue: copying/moving/dragging pages between documents and NOTHING CHANGING.
Whenever we move pages between documents (which we have to do on a monthly basis - moving content into client branded files), at least ONE thing will shift and it usually has to do with overset text and/or text wrap. We have googled our brains out. We've tried everything on this list How-To: 10 Techniques for Copying Pages Between InDesign Documents | CreativePro.com and in the various Lynda tutorials we've looked at. We have combined our powers and still can not solve this problem so now I come to you, hoping that you can please please please help us figure out this issue before one of us throws a computer out the window.
We have this one document. And this is what one of the problem pages looks like. Everything is on one layer. (look at the section marked 5)
Then I move the pages (copy/paste the content; drag and drop the pages; etc.) into the destination document so we can apply branding.
AND THIS HAPPENS.
WHY does this text suddenly become overset?
The preferences of both documents are IDENTICAL. In fact, Document B was originally created from Document A.
AND FUN FYI: I took Document A and Saved As a new name. Opened it the new name. And tried moving the pages into the newly named document -- and the SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED.
I am going to bash my head into a wall. Can someone please shed some light on this? Have you seen this before? How do we fix it??

Doesn't saving as IDML lose some of the properties if you use any shadow or other effects?
That's not something that I have ever heard, but since I haven't heard everything, I suppose it's possible. What you may be thinking of is that some people use idml to migrate a file to a lower version, and if that lower version lacks a feature of the version that created the file, you will either lose or modify the way that that feature worked in the original. I don't think that even in that scenario that a feature that was present in both versions would go away just because it took a trip through idml to get to an earlier version. And if idml botched shadow or effects, nobody would use it, and I don't think Adobe would have it.

If we had just done a final Save As on the Document A before giving it to the team member who's going to be copying the content into Document B, does that not count as doing a Save As? You mean the minute it's freshly opened try doing another Save As? (P.S. Edit: Just tried this. Didn't change what happened. )
The thing that Save-As does is remove little bits of data associated with undos that a normal Save retains. Sometimes this data can lead to problems, so any time you do it, it will help, but if you do it at stage 37 and you hand off at stage 38, you will have cleared out most all of anything that may have built up over time. I don't want to give the impression that it is required, but it certainly doesn't hurt, and is probably a good idea to Save-As periodically.

Move pages between documents keeping threads

Hi all,
This is my problem. I'm trying to move several pages from different spreads into another document. I´m trying it this way:
doc2.pages.itemByRange(0, 2).duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_END,doc1);
where doc1 and doc2 are my documents. This works fine but when i have threaded texts the threads are broken.
I have tried to move spreads instead of pages this way:
doc2.spreads.itemByRange(0, 2).duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_END,doc1);
and now the threads between pages in the same spread aren´t broken, but the threads between pages in different spreads are.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Alvaro

Is that the way the menu option "Move Pages..." from the Pages panel works?
There it seems to do what i want... do they rethread the text frames there too?
Thanks Harbs.

Reader XI, placing blank page between document pages?

I have Adobe Reader XI, Version 11.0.2. In the last two weeks one our agents readers started placing a blank page between document pages. We have re-installed the product a couple time, reset standard defaults, and it is stil placing blank pages between document pages. Any ideas to rectify the problems. Every document he pulls up this happens.

Can you give us a link to a document with these pages?
Reader cannot insert pages into a PDF file so something must be up with the PDF's themselves.

Move or Copy pages between documents

In the Adobe Help Menu it says... If you copy a page from a document that has a different size than the document you are copying to, it will be resized to the dimensions of the destination.
I can not get this to work. Can copy from doc to doc, but ad size remains the same. Any help with this please.

Yup, I think you're right Mr. Mike. I also think that they are trying to make "it" sound like they're making water into wine! Like I said, I'm just plumb frustrated w/trying to learn this program 2day. I'll do better 2morrow... I hope! Thanx all for your help.

Copy pages between documents

Hello there,
I'm trying to compile a final .indd file based on different documents pages. To do that, i'm loading a XML file with the names of the files I need and the page I need .
exemple of my XML:
<files>
     <file url="firstDoc.indd" page="2" />
      <file url="secDoc.indd" page="5" />
     <file url="thirdDoc.indd" page="1" />
</files>
There is no probleme to load that XML and parse it. I can open the file and get the right page, but I don't know how can I copy these pages in a single new document.
Is there any copy function ? or move function ? that can do that easily ?
I've got a function like that for now:
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
for(var i=0;i<(xml.file.length()-1);i++){
     var address = xml.file[i].attribute("url");
     var myMod = app.open(File(idFileFolder+"/" + address), false);
     var myPage = myMod.pages[xml.file[i].attribute("page")];
     myMod.close(SaveOptions.no);
If someone have an advice or a part of a script, I'll be really thankfull.
Cheers.
Gael

This should get you started:
if(app.documents.length < 2) {
    alert("Must have two open documents");
    exit();
var myDocOne = app.documents[0];
var myDocTwo = app.documents[1];
var myPage = myDocOne.pages[0];
myPage.duplicate(LocationOptions.AT_END, myDocTwo.pages.lastItem())

Move/copy between document libraries

hi;
I search a tool (free) or script to enables end-users to copy and move content stored in SharePoint document libraries and lists.
Same this tool :
http://www.sharepointproducts.com/Pages/home.aspx
Best Regards

So why you are not using the SharePoint's OOB feature to move the items/ library using
Site Content and Structures?

Indesign CS6 crashes when copying pages between documents

I have two documents and I want to copy 28 pages from one to the other. Indesign crashes on any form of attempt. What I tried so far:
1. Copy pages per drag and drop, ID would then ask where to insert, I selected "at the end". Crash.
2. Save both documents as IDML, then opened the IDMLs, saved as INDD (to erase possible document structure corruptions), closed and opened both INDDs again, then drag and drop. Crash.
3. Selected the 28 pages from the source document, selected "Insert pages" from mini menu of pages panel, then set what pages to use, where to put ("At the end") and target (the other document). Crash
4. Tried both, "Insert pages" and drag 'n drop, with different target position "At the beginning". Crash.
5. Saved a copy of the source document, reduced it to contain only those 29 pages I want to copy, then drag and drop to target. Crash.
6. Tried vice versa, means copy all target document's pages to the source document. Crash.
Any idea how I can get the pages over to the target? There is unfortunately no "Append pages from file" in the mini menu.
TIA!

I would try another one with each of these documents.
Create a new document with 2 pages.
Name the master pages so, that their names are not conflicting with neither of these 2 document’s masters.
Delete every style in that empty document, also any swatch
No drag the pages of the first document into such an empty document.
Do the same step 1 to 4 with the second document in a NEW empty document.
Now you have 2 new documents. Take care that no conflicting master names appear.
In each of these documents create in each style panel a folder and drag all used styles in that folder.
Save both documents
Try again to insert the pages of both documents.
Otherwise, it this does not work out, could you send me via private message the files or a link. I would check it with a Debugging Version of InDesign (InDesign DEV) I can use to find errors.

Copying master pages between documents.

I Am laying out a book with 36 chapters and I formatted my master page and completed Chapter One. Chapter Two is a new document and I want to carry over Master-A to each successive one. I believe there must be a way to do it, but nothing I have tried works. I am using Windows 7 and InDesign 5.5, version 7.5.

I created a new master page template and added my first chapter to it. Everything except the chapter title from the master page footer appeared on the pages. I went to the master pages and deleted the chapter title and then replaced it and reapplied the master to all pages. The chapter title still did not come up on the document pages.

Transfer a page between documents

I'm working on two seperate documents and need to merge the two together, how do I do so? I believe I have the latest Pages version of 5.1

In that case you still have Pages '08/'09 in your Applications/iWork folder. Use that.
Apple has removed this along with about 100 other features from Pages 5.
All of this was news almost 5 months agao.

Moving pages created documents between macs

I need to move pages created documents from imac to air lap top (running new pages in Mavericks) and to ipad (running ios pages). Get message on Imac (running pages 9) that xml document missing. Moving these documents is important for writing and editing them. I hesitate to upgrade the imac (snow leopard) to the new pages for fear I will lose all my previous documents created in pages 9. Help!

Thank you, I checked the IPad and sure enough I do have version 2.01 and it makes the documents unreadable in Pages 09. It will transport them if they are made into Word documents and then they are read as Page documents in Pages09. Unfortunately if they were not created as word processing documents in the first place, this won't work. Is there a way to back up IOS pages to v.1.71 on my IPad and IPhone? If not, will know that IOS will not work for documents. You would think Apple would have not created this mess since I am surely not the only person writing documents on these devices and needing to move them around for changes and editing!!
Thanks for your help and Peter, your comment about ICloud is also helpful. I have never used it, was tempted, and now will not use that either. Again, Apple getting ahead of themselves and their customers. Love them but get frustrated by them often.:--))

Moving pages between chapters

I just started using iBooks Author and when I imported a Pages file each page in iBooks Author is on a different Chapter.
Is there a way to fix this so each page is NOT on a separate Chapter.
Also is there a way to move pages between Chapters.
thanks

You can not rearrange pages or move them from one chapter to another. However, you can move (or copy/paste) sections.
Go to... iBook Menu... Help... iBooks Author Help... Set up your book... Add, reorder, or delete chapters, sections, and pages.
From the iBook help menu:
In the Book pane (shown above), do either or both of the following:
To change the order of chapters: Drag them.
To change the order of sections: Drag a section to a new location. You can also drag a section from one chapter to another.

Switching between documents in Pages

I am in the habit of working with multiple Pages documents at once and must manually click "Window" to move to the other document. I know that if I need to switch to another application I can use "Command + Tab", however is there a way to switch between documents in Pages other than using the "Windows" menu?

Hi jordalex325
Welcome to the forum.
The function is a +system wide function+ so you find it in the Finder:
+Menu > Window > Cycle through Windows+
In English the shortcut shows as +command `+ on the menu, look in the same menu in Swedish and see what it suggests there.
*Swedish keyboard*
!http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/KBSweden.svg/500px-KBSweden.svg.png!
The ` key is on the top row, far right and combined with the shift key.
Amendment: On closer examination this is actually a PC keyboard. I am trying to source a Swedish Mac Keyboard image, so far unsuccessfully. Maybe you could tell us what is different meanwhile.
*English Keyboard*

You could try that or try remapping the shortcut in:
+System Preferences > Hardware > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts+
Peter
PS Try opening +Show Keyboard Viewer+ from your input menu on the top right of the menu bar and see what characters are where when you type.

I inadvertantly uploaded documents to wrong icloud account. How do I get them back? They were pulled off my ipad to the cloud, but they're in the wrong cloud. Can I move them between accounts somehow?

I accidently created two icloud accounts when setting it up on my iPad. When I opened Pages, the documents on my iPad were moved up to account1. I realized what I had done and then set up account2, which is the one I really need to work with for all of my stuff (account2 is the one migrated from mobile me).
I then deleted account1 from my iPad. When I opened Pages on my iPad, all of my documents were gone. I can see them online on my mac when I log into account1. I just want to find some way to move them to acc

You don't have them on your computer?
Have you checked what your sync setting in iTunes are?

There's a couple of ways but my tip backing up your documents in the cloud is as good as any.
