Hello!

I have the following question: is there a way, to determine the ACTUAL page number of a placed PDF (that contains multiple pages).

e.g., if page 5 of the PDF is placed in a rectangle in InDesign 2, how can I determine the "5" in an AppleScript?

I need to know this, because I'm writing a script, where Photoshop automatically processes PDF's, whose rectangles are selected in InDesign. But to tell Photoshop to open the appropiate page, I need to know the page number!

So is there a way to find out?

Regards, Joachim Rensing
