A Free Script to Move Items to the Pasteboard (and Back)
Ever wish you could quickly slide some selected items (or everything) on a page out to the Pasteboard? Frédéric Robin wrote a script to do just that. And it also slides the items back onto the page at their original locations when you run the script again.

Before running the script

After running the script, the selected item is moved to the pasteboard.

Run the script again to put the item back where it started.
Simple, quick, and easy. You can read about the script and download it here.
