"ExtractPages has one weirdness that can throw you: Not only doesn’t it automatically open the new INDD file(s) it creates, it closes the source document as soon as you run the script. If there were unsaved changes, they’re gone. (This happened to me during testing on a Mac w/CS4, your mileage may vary.) So if you want to use it, be sure to save your source document first, at least until the script’s author fixes it."
Is this likely to be fixed in a next release?
Apologies!
Just read your replies at IDS.com. I'll wait with bated breath!
Hello,
This article in IDS was a great opportunity to see the problems and how to generally improve the script.
However, it's a lot a job to do and will probably need a certain time to release a fixed version.
I will do my best though.
