well, in the end I used this script (it's the one you wrote at first, with the "try-catch" added to it.

myPages = app.activeDocument.pages;
for (i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++) { myFrames = myPages[i].allPageItems; for (j = myFrames.length-1; j > -1; j--)
      {
       try
        {
        myPages[i].textFrames.add (myFrames[j].properties);
        myFrames[j].remove();
        }
		catch(_){}
      }
   }

It seemed to work very nicely, only the text lost all of its styling.

Any idea how to solve that?
