Extracting a page from an InDesign document (2 different approaches)

indd_page_extract.jsx

var doc = app.activeDocument;
if(doc.saved == true)
{
  extract(2);
}
else
{
  alert("Save you file.");
}

function extract(pagePosition){
  var docpath = doc.fullName;
  for(var i=doc.pages.length; i>pagePosition;i--)
  {
    doc.pages[i-1].remove();
  }
  for(var i=pagePosition-1; i>=1;i--)
  {
    doc.pages[i-1].remove();
  }
  var exportdoc = doc.save(File('~/test_extract.indd'));
  exportdoc.close(SaveOptions.no);
  app.open(File(docpath));
}

indd_page_extract_2.jsx

var doc = app.activeDocument;
if(doc.saved == true)
{
  extract(2);
}
else
{
  alert("Save you file.");
}

function extract(pagePosition){
  var exportDoc = app.documents.add(false);
  var page = doc.pages.item(pagePosition-1)
  page.duplicate(LocationOptions.BEFORE, exportDoc.pages.firstItem());
  exportDoc.pages.lastItem().remove();
  exportDoc.save(File('~/test_extract_2.indd'));
  exportDoc.close(SaveOptions.no);
}

@bastien: Many thanks! This script is very helpful. Especially method 2 is very fast (and less intrusive than method 1).

For extracting all pages into a folder (plus progressbar from https://gist.github.com/kuyseng/2792080):

var doc = app.activeDocument;
if(doc.saved == true) {
  var pb = new index_progress_bar('Extracting...');
  pb.reset(doc.pages.length);

  // Extract each page (all pages)
  for(var i=0; i<doc.pages.length; i++) {
	pb.show('Pages', (i+1).toString() + ' of ' + doc.pages.length.toString(), (i+1));
    extract2(i);
  }

  pb.close();
} else {
  alert('Save you file.');
}

function extract2(pagePosition){
  var exportDoc = app.documents.add(false);
  var page = doc.pages.item(pagePosition-1)
  page.duplicate(LocationOptions.BEFORE, exportDoc.pages.firstItem());
  exportDoc.pages.lastItem().remove();
  var path = 'C:/some-path/extracted/' + (pagePosition+1).toString() + '.indd';
  exportDoc.save(File(path));
  exportDoc.close(SaveOptions.no);
}
