      I am using the following script code to place a set of INDD documents in another INDD document. Each of the placed documents has 2 pages. In some cases, I wanted to place page 1, and in other cases it’s page 2. But I can’t get it to do anything but place page 1. I’ve used the same statements to place a selected page of a PDF file, but I can’t get it to work when placing an INDD document. Any ideas?

      var formPage = myDoc.pages[0];

      app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = myVersionPageNum;
      var imageArray = formPage.place(myVersionFilePath, [myGeomLeft, myGeomTop], myDoc.layers.itemByName(myVersionsLayerName));

      Thanks!

      I was misled by a forum post I read somewhere (probably not here) that said placing InDesign documents uses the same preferences as placing PDF files. When I changed app.pdfPlacePreferences to app.importedPageAttributes, it works.
