I have about 15 mostly single page indd files that I need to merge into one InDesign file so I can run a script to change page size. Anyone know how to do it? Book option doesn't work.

For 15 pages it's not so much time consuming. 

 

Do you have to do this more often?

Open up the documents and use the Pages panel's Move menu to move the pages from one document to another. I would create a "master" file that is a copy of one of the others. That way, if something messes up, you can start over.
