![]() ![]() InDesign will open a file browser dialog window. Scroll until you see the entry named PlaceMultipagePDF.jsx and double-click the entry to run the script. In the Scripts panel, expand the Application folder, then expand the Samples subfolder, and then expand the JavaScript subfolder. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command + Option + F11, but you’ll probably need two hands to reach all the keys, so it’s not actually much faster than using the menu. To get started using InDesign scripts, open the Window menu, select the Utilities submenu, and click Scripts. It’s a good idea to make sure that you have enough pages in your InDesign document to hold each page of the PDF before you start the import process and that the page dimensions are large enough to contain the PDF pages. Like most Adobe apps, InDesign can have its features expanded by third-party plugins and scripts, but it also comes packed with a few premade scripts provided by Adobe, and one of them can place multiple PDF pages at once. There is a faster way to place multiple PDF pages into a document at once, although you’ll have to go a bit out of the way to get there. Importing Multiple PDF Pages to InDesign with Scripts ![]() InDesign treats placed PDFs as raster images, so they’re essentially no different than JPGs or any other image format you import into your document. Unfortunately, when importing PDFs in InDesign, none of the PDF content is directly editable in InDesign. This can quickly get tedious if you’ve got a lot of pages to place, but I’ll show you a trick if you read on! ![]() After you place the first page, the cursor will be loaded with the second page, and so on until you’re done. If you selected multiple pages in the import options, you have to place each page separately. Click anywhere on your InDesign document page to set the top-left corner of the new PDF object. InDesign will then give you a ‘loaded cursor’ showing a thumbnail preview of the object you’re placing. This allows you to choose the page or pages you want to place, as well as a range of cropping options.Ĭustomize the options until you’re satisfied, and click OK. Next, InDesign will open the Place PDF dialog window. Note: on macOS, you may have to click the Options button to display the Show Import Options setting. Browse to select the PDF file you want to import, then make sure that the Show Import Options setting is enabled, and click OK. InDesign will open the Place dialog window. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command + D (use Ctrl + D if you’re using InDesign on a PC).
