Alex,
Hopefully this will help…
I ran
tell application "Pages"
set current_window to window 1
set itemList to documents of current_window
repeat with anitem in itemList
get the class of item 1 of anitem
end repeat
end tell
and received the results:
tell application "Pages"
get window 1
--> window id 888
get every document of window id 888
--> document id "018F988E-C58F-43F2-BD69-9567F7F9FEE7"
count document id "018F988E-C58F-43F2-BD69-9567F7F9FEE7"
--> 1
get class of item 1 of item 1 of document id
"018F988E-C58F-43F2-BD69-9567F7F9FEE7"
--> document
end tell
Result:
