Inserting pages for placed file #11

Love this script. Thank you very much! The one thing I would love to see is to have it insert new pages to place the document on starting with the page you indicate. The problem I am having is if I am placing a document in the middle of an existing document, it places the imported pages on top of existing items. So if I have a 10-page document and I want to place a 6-page document into it beginning on page 4, the script would add pages between the original pages 4 and 5 and the document would now be a total of 16 pages.

Sorry for missing this.

Sounds generally feasible but it could get pretty complex with questions like "which page master should be applied to the new pages" or "how to deal with threaded text frames on such pages".

I assume you know that you can manually insert empty pages before running the script? (I can see how it would be nice to skip that step.)

I can't really promise I will find the time to add it - doing very little development on this lately.
