Latest object model fully support Multi-page PDF Importing?

[ A.Magnesium]

Hi all, Illustrator has a decent Multi-page PDF import function at the moment.

But I could not figure out how to do this with the script(app.preferences.PDFFileOptions) to import multi pages at once, instead of one by one.

Could anyone please help?

Thank you.

try this script

app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;

var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
pdfOptions.pageRangeToOpen = "1-2"; // or "all"

var idoc = app.open(File("C:/Users/canto/Google Drive/Adobe Scripts/illustrator_CS6_QuickStart_Guide.pdf")); // full path to your pdf

app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DISPLAYALERTS;

Carlos, very sorry, bother you in here.  variable is "all", so after open pdf,  it will be generated clipping mask.  but variable is number(1-2), it is OK. why ?

[CarlosCanto]

@rui huang that's the default behavior, when pageToOpen is "all", the pdf opens as Links. When you open a "range", ie "1-3" the pdf opens Embedded.

you can change the default by explicitly setting the the following property

pdfOptions.placeAsLinks = false; // false = embed, true = link
