MultiPage pdf across multiple panel guide script

I need a script to place multi page pdf onto a guide outlined INDD page. For instance. I have label sheet blank, i make the guides to match the labels then run this script that places all the pages in the PDF into the guides for the labels.

The only script i found places them each onto one page. This won't work for filling out label sheets. I'm fairly familiar with INDD but i'm not a trained user.

Please give me clear step by step instructions.

Thank you.

If you mean guidelines - it won't help as script won't be able to use them the way you would like.

Can you show us your template that you want to populate? Because there are few different ways to achieve what you need...

Any label template from avery would be a good example. I used 5160. 30 labels. I placed the guide lines according to the template and then import the PDF multipage, page 1.

But you would need a version that imports pages from the multipage PDF... or... can you prepare your PDF as bunch of single page PDFs?

No idea what a contact sheet is.

Is there a function in INDD that creates (for the lack of better word) panels within guides that can be accessed by the multipagepdf script (modified of course) so that it populates the panels rather than pages ? I know you can create frames, filled and not, can these be used by the script ?

I have done some programming a couple decades back in college but never was good at VBS.
