indesign placemultipagepdf script only adds pdfs to the end of the document

Hello,

I recently updated my InDesign to the newest version, and now, the place multi-page pdf script will only place the pdfs at the end of my indesign file as opposed to on the page i select it to import onto. How do i fix this?

    Hi,

    I found the error! I had been using the VBScript multipage pdf tool instead of the Javascript multipage pdf tool.

    I have been having another issue though with Indesign having sticky key problems. If i highlight a word in my file and try to type to replace it it's not typing my first letters. Do you know how to fix this?

    Hi there,

    Sorry to hear about that, if that is happening with a particular file, please try to Export it to IDML.

    If it is happening with multiple documents and even on new documents, then please try resetting preferences for InDesign: Set preferences in Adobe InDesign

    Thanks,

    Srishti

    Hi there,

    Sorry to hear about this. As already mentioned by David, the PlaceMultiPagePDF.jsx script in the newest version works perfectly fine.

    Please make sure you are trying these steps: https://indd.adobe.com/view/5213c1c4-29c9-4b9b-85f1-c414affab0fb

    If it still does not work, please try resetting preferences for InDesign: Set preferences in Adobe InDesign

    Regards,

    Srishti

    That is strange… I am using the newest version and the PlaceMultiPagePDF.jsx script works properly for me.

    However, if that script isn't working, you might try this one, which offers more options.
