Copy or move pages between documents the smart way…
If you need to copy pages from one document to another, don’t be fooled into using the old Copy and Paste method. Instead use “Move Pages”. Using ”Move Pages” allows you to move your pages between documents while maintaining a lot of the document specific attributes like margins, bleeds, master pages, swatches and styles. Copy and Paste just doesn’t compare.
For ideal results, it’s best if the document you’re copying from and to have the same page dimensions (width and height). If they aren’t it will still work, however the alignment of the page items will be slightly different.
From the “Pages” panel select the page/s you’re wanting to move or copy, by clicking on their page number. Now selected, go up to the flyout menu within the pages panel and choose ”Move Pages”. A dialogue now appears which lets you set what pages you want to move, where you want them placed within the document, and what document you want to move them to. You must have the document you’re wanting to move the pages to open. When set choose “OK”. There’s no real indication that anything has happened, however if you switch across to the document you moved the pages to you’ll see that everything worked nicely.
