Turns out that CS4's duplicate() method is a bit different -- rather, it looks as if it has been fixed because in CS3 it seems to have issue. In CS3 you need this:
#target indesign;
app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.spreadOrigin;
myPages = app.activeDocument.pages;
for (i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++)
{
myFrames = myPages[i].allPageItems;
for (j = myFrames.length-1; j > -1; j--)
{
try
{
gb = myFrames[j].geometricBounds;
dupl = myFrames[j].duplicate ();
dupl.move ([gb[1],gb[0]]);
myFrames[j].remove();
}
catch(_){}
}
}
Ah -- versions...
