Feature request: Flip between pages after a multipage PDF import

Could we please have the possibility to switch between different pages of a placed PDF after the placement?

See an example from the competition where I can choose between all the spreads in a placed PDF without replacing or re-linking.

Thank you!

Hi @Imaginerie & everyone,

Thanks for sharing the UserVoice link and for highlighting this request. I agree this would be a really useful enhancement to the current workflow.

I’ve raised this with the product team to get more visibility on it and will keep you posted here if there are any updates or plans around this.

Appreciate you bringing this up.

This should be an essential part of InDesign Placed file tools.
Ideally placing a multi page PDF should place each selected page on a new page in the same position or adhering to the layout

Hi @derekwatson , PDF placement can be scripted—usually something that can be scripted doesn't get added as a feature. An example would be the PlaceMultipagePDF script that is included in the script panel’s Samples folder, which does what you seem to be describing.
