Question

Hello,

My goal is to use the script "place multi page PDF" in order to put all the PDF pages inside an ID document.

My PDF is in landscape mode, so I choose to create a landscape ID document.

Problem : by using the script "place multipage PDF", it put all the PDF pages outside of the ID document.

With this script, how to place automatically all PDF pages in order that they could fit automatically inside the ID document ?

If you want more control over the size and location of the imported PDF pages - you can use Image Catalog script - included with InDesign - but then you'll have to export your PDF as single pages - separate PDF for each page.

What do you mean by "outside"? 

 

Can you post a screenshot?

Hi @Robert at ID-Tasker 

 

After the "place multi page PDF" script, the PDF displays outside of the ID frame :

It's not "outside" - it doesn't "fit" the page. 

 

This script doesn't check page size of the PDF - you need to define page size of your document yourself before running this script.
