I know we can insert multiple pdf pages into InDesign with scripts; however, when i do that the inserted pages take up the whole page.  Is there a way for importing them within a margin set for the page?

Hi Lisa,

Mike Edel is now curating MultiPageExporter that originally was written by Scott Zanelli:

There are many options how a PDF page can be placed:

The MultipageImporter Script has both scaling and positioning options that should solve that.

Thanks Jean-Claude; however I have been unable to open the file.  My manager got it to unzip but it seems to be taking forever to download.   Any suggestions on both counts.  thanks.
