Auto Flow Multi Page PDF

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to automatically flow a multiple-page PDF into InDesign CS5. I have a 350 page PDF that I need to import, each page of the PDF as a new page in the document. Something that works like the shift + click with a loaded cursor for word documents? Or a script that allows me to place PDFs that way?

open your scripts panel, either in apple scripts or java: find placeMultiPagePdf and double click: follow and select from dialogue

Hi Timothy,

try the MultPageImporter script originally written by Scott Zanelli, now curated by Mike Edel:

I have an InDesign Layout for which I need to print two up per sheet...full bleeds so I need to flow the multipage pdf to respect the columns. I will then trim them out with the full bleed. The script causes it to align with the upper left corner rather than flowing into the respective columns as a text file would. Please help!

I think we're going to need screen shots....

paper is 12 X 18

Each side will be trimmed to 8.5 X 11 and is a total of 1403/702 sheets

Once the pdf is flowed throughout, I will add the background to the Master pages.
