app preferences PDFFileOptions pageToOpen

It only allows you to choose one page but I want to select all. There is an option in the dialog but nothing that I can see in preferences.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Which version, which system?

What exactly are you doing and what exactly are you trying to achieve?

I'm trying to open a multipage pdf in illustrator via a script file called
via applescript.

If I open the file via normal means I can choose the page I want to open or
All.
But there does not appear to be an option to do this with extendscript. It
only has the option to specify the page number, not all.

app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
app.preferences.PDFFileOptions.pageToOpen = 1; // I Want ALL here.
app.preferences.photoshopFileOptions.preserveLayers = false;
var artwork = new File('${src}')

If you know how many pages there are in the PDF, you could iterate thru them, opening each page individually and placing it onto a separate artboard.
