Sorry... I can't find it... I've just opened indesign... What should I do? How to find Windows / Utilities / Scripts?

There is an even better script that allows for scaling and positioning on the page that you can download from Releases · mike-edel/ID-MultiPageImporter · GitHub

This sounds great!

I have to import a multipage pdf file in a Indesign file differently sized (slightly smaller)...

Furthemore, that pdf file has pages side by side (I don't know how to explain in English... every two pages together... I don't know how to get it with single pages... I tried also in Adobe Acrobat... May be, it's better for me to ask in a Acrobat topic...

Thank you again

Thank you.

If the PDF was created with spreads (two pages together on a single sheet) rather than being displayed as two pages side-by-side (which is an Acrobat view setting) there is no way that I know of to split the pages apart so you will probably have to import the PDF twice and crop the pages to left and right sides. This will be a fair amount of work.

Your job will be much easier if you are able to find a PDF created as single pages.
