I'm able to place an InDesign page into another InDesign document, but am not able to place an InDesign page an InDesign document when the page is part of the same InDesign document. Is there any way around this limitation?

I'm gonna guess that it's not possible. It would make a circular reference, and those are usually bad.

Hi jay,

You can't do it in the user interface, so you probably can't do it directly via scripting. You could, however, create a snippet (.idms) version of the page and then place the snippet. Or a PDF.

Thanks,

Ole

PDF is the better bet (although you might as well save a copy of your document). Snippets have all kinds of problems for this because of master items and the fact that from a script you can only export individual items as snippets (although you can group them and export that).
