ID CC2017 no control in placemultipagePDF script window

Recently convinced my boss to upgrade to CC and El Capitan. There is no control over the PDF placement in the

PlacemultipagePDF window. I get the same results in the apple script as the java script. See attached. The 4 on

the left are the sequence of windows I get before it begins placing the PDF pages. The single window on the right is

from CS4 and is what I NEED; X and Y placement, scaling, what page to place and what page to place it ON.

Spent 2+ hours on the phone with a nice man from Adobe but he could not help me.

Thank you in advance for your response.

    Looks like new InDesign CC 2017 (and maybe even previous versions) ships with updated, simplified version of this script that does not include desired functionality... so, all you need is to get the original/previous script version

    for example, you can download this version - http://www.indesignsecrets.com/downloads/MultiPageImporter2.5JJB.jsx.zip

    Thanks Oleh. Once I placed the jsx file in my scripts folder I got my control panel back. I would not have expected it to work in new versions. Thanks for the help.
