CapturePage then use on NewDocument

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


   I am trying to capture a page from one document, and DrawCapturedPage into a different document ID.  Is this possible?  I am currently getting the "invalid capture id" error when doing so.  Here is an example code:

doc1 = QP.SelectedDocument()
doc2 = QP.NewDocument()

ret = QP.SelectDocument(doc1)
currentPageID = QP.CapturePage(1)


ret = QP.SelectDocument(doc2)
ret = QP.SelectPage(1)
ret = QP.DrawCapturedPage(currentPageID, 500, 500, 500, 500)

	When you use CapturePage and DrawCapturePage you must use the same documentID. What you normally is call MergeDocument() to merge the page that you want to capture into the document that you want to draw on. Capture that page, which deletes it, and then DrawCapturePage to draw it where you need to. Andrew.
