You could try one off these scripts:

One lets you choose a scale for the thumbnails and adjusts the matrix page size, the other lets you choose a page size and scales the thumbnails to fit the page.

Ths scale version:

Hi skiph23010641,

there are no options to change or suppress drop shadows.

Or to change the size of type in the captions.

If you need thumbnails in a different way best export the document pages to PDF and place the PDF pages the way you like in a different document scaled and arranged.

Better yet, skip exporting to PDF and place the InDesign file(s) in a new InDesign file. This is how I do it. If I want to make thumbnails or a contact sheet from other InDesign files I plaec them and control keylines, drop shadows, gutters, titles, and page numbers in the second file.

Tnx for you email. I am using a windows 10 OS and InDesign CC. I have a 9 page file. When printing a 3x3 thumbnail print for presentation to my customer the program auto generates large pg#'s, offsets and shadows. Where is the dialog box to modify those features?
