Import a multipage PDF file in Adobe InDesign through the use of a builtin script. This script permits us to put a multipage PDF into our undertaking with ease.
Sadly by default, Adobe InDesign doesn’t have an choice to import a multipage PDF into our undertaking. If we choose a multipage PDF file and attempt to import it, it is going to solely import one web page of it. That’s why we actually want the built-in script that Adobe InDesign has to supply.
In case you need to create your individual multi-page PDF with Adobe Photoshop which you’ll be able to then import it in InDesign.
Insert a multipage PDF file into an InDesign doc:
The script we’re going to use for this goal is a local one, which implies we don’t really want to look outdoors of InDesign. There are additionally different nice native scripts that InDesign has and we will use, relying our wants.
The method is fairly straightforward. We simply find the PlaceMultipagePDF script and simply run it. That’s it.
Navigate to the Window Menu – Utilities – Scripts.
A popup window seems. Develop Software – Samples – JavaScript, and choose (double-click) the PlaceMultipagePDF script.
One other popup window seems. Th explorer window. This time we simply must find our multipage PDF file with a purpose to place it into our InDesign doc.
After we find and choose our multipage PDF file, we have now the choice to put our multipage PDF in a new doc or into an current one. I’ve chosen to put it into an current one.
InDesign might present some script alerts, are usually not crucial, simply click on OK on all of these.
And lastly, the script would require you to decide on on what web page to put your new multipage PDF file. Since I simply created a clean doc in InDesign, I had just one possibility, to place it on web page 1.
The script will robotically place your new multipage PDF file in your chosen InDesign doc.
