Topic: Re: Adding pages dynamically to an open document (Via Email)

The insertPages() and deletePages methods are indeed pretty much
secured. However, what you could do instead is using the Template
methods. In this case, you would create all the pages to be added as
hidden Templates in your document, and then use the
spawnPageFromTemplate() method to "assemble" your document.

Hope, this can help.
