Here is a small script based on a request from the mail list. What the poster wanted to know was whether there was a way to export a graphics frame to a file of some sort. Although you can export a document page as an image, this then requires some editing afterward. You could also use some type of screen grab software.
Another method would be to make a copy of the original object, create a new document the same size as the object, and then paste the object to it. This way, you could then either export to PDF or export as an image, with no need to trim the image later.
Here is a script that does this automatically, following these above steps, using copyObject() and pasteObject().
