I know the object name of the frame I'm looking for, but I don't know what page it's on. The only way I've thought of is to loop page-by-page over the document, and for each page use getAllObjects() to see if the frame is on that page. The documents are typically hundreds or even a couple thousand pages. I'm hoping for a faster way.<br>
<br>
From the GUI I see that if I click on an object to select it, then the page returned by currentPage() is what I'm looking for, but if I just call selectObject() then currentPage() doesn't seem to care.<br>

Thanks.<br>
