Changing layer order in multiple canvases

OmniGraffle
#1

Hi All,

I had a 2000 page/Canvas PDF import where I needed to overlay all pages with new headers and footers. What I did was create a shared layer with the required formatting and apply it to all canvases. So far so good. Changing the layer order for 2000 pages. Ho. Ho.

I had to use a script to do it. As I’m a new user I cant upload the script, so here it is.

Hope it saves someone some time.

};

return action;
