Move or Copy Pages between Documents with PageZephyr

You can move or copy pages between archived desktop publishing documents to edit Adobe InDesign content. To locate InDesign text, you first need to search those INDD documents. You can search InDesign for specific text with a content search application from Markzware:

You can move or copy pages from one INDD document to another in InDesign. Then, print or publish content based on this information. PageZephyr Search can search InDesign files in archives to help you find specific desktop publishing content. Markzware‘s content search application is designed to give users maximum penetration into archives of INDD documents.

By moving or copying pages, you are not altering the original InDesign document or the text located in these documents. You can create a new document, which you can edit to create content for desktop publishing (DTP).

Move or copy pages between documents

“When you move or copy a page or spread from one document to another, all of the items on the page or spread, including graphics, links, and text, are copied to the new document. Section markers are preserved. Threaded text frames are also included, but text that is threaded to pages outside the spread does not transfer. If the page or spread you are copying contains styles, layers, or masters with the same names as their counterparts in the destination document, the destination document’s settings are applied to the page or spread.”
