It may be simple and I'm just missing it but how do I cut and paste an image from one page to another in a multi page document?

I try and it ends up moving it as per my settings in preferences. I'm pretty sure it's possible as I managed to do it but it pasted it in a totally different page than the one I wanted. Luckily I noticed it or that would have been an issue.

I have had issues with this as well.
the closest I can come is to paste it and then use the Pitstop mover tool to get it in the right place, but then again, I didn't spend a lot of time looking for answers.

I can move it but I have to move to 2 pages. If it was the next page that's not bad.

When I did have it move it moved 5 pages but there was no rhyme or reason that it did.

sounds like you have the "curse". 
When you try to do the paste, do you have the page you are pasting into on the screen in full page view?

You have to click on the page you are pasting on. It's a bug. Change your Pitstop preferences to paste in place, by deleting the offsets and setting them to zero.

COMMAND+X

Switch to the page you want it on.

Select Pitstop tool in case it is no longer selected.

Click on the gray background.

COMMAND+V

Works for me anyway.

Not sure it is a bug. If you don't click somewhere on the new page than the other page is still selected and that is where it puts it. Works as designed I think.

Maybe, but I think it's lame. If you indicate what page you want to travel to, all the tools should apply to that page. Clicking somewhere on the pasteboard seems... back-ass 1990 to me.

I wonder if it is picking up coordinates from stray bounding boxes or facing pages?

If that is the case it is on Adobe and not Enfocus. Good luck getting Adobe to change anything! :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:

No doubt, they still use mud bricks.  :P

Right. They would have to admit to it before they change it.

Did you empty your Safari Cache? :D

Adobe does no wrong. If it isn't working for you you're doing it wrong.

I should copyright that saying before Adobe steals it for their next ad campaign.

doomed

That is a bit ass backwards. Copy, click with the arrow, paste, move where you want it.

Thanks for all the hints. I'd still be blindly clicking without them.

If you select object, copy, move to the page you want, click the pasteboard, and paste it should go into the exact position it was on the other page if you have your coordinates set to 0 and 0 in your Pitstop preferences. You would only need to move it where you want if it needs to be in a different position than the original.

Which is EXACTLY what I said in reply #4. I even included a screen shot.

Hahaha, no, just pointing out the obvious. Not all of my posts are ridiculous bullshit... just most of them.

It's more like great minds think alike, but I wouldn't want to offend you. :D

That's offensive! :P

Yup, that's exactly what I did. Worked a charm.

I did have to move the image. The wonderful designer missed it on 5 pages.

Only 5? That is a win! :sarcasm:

Hi.... I offten use action "add copied graphics" it could get ofssets from position and than you can aply it to any page-range

could help

We've discussed this and the argument from the development team is try using it in some of the other page views you get in Acrobat.
Two page view for instance. Which page will the object be placed on?

Maybe we can make a different behaviour when in single page mode, I'll ask.

Honestly, once you get it it makes sense. I don't know why you'd use the 2 page view but to each their own, I've always used the single page view but it makes sense that if you have 2 pages, you click on the page where you want it.

Pitstop used to force you to use single page mode. Why did that change?

I know Kodak tools always squaks about that but I've never seen pitstop complain.

Then again I always use single page mode so I'm not a good test subject.

Same here.
