Good morning
I am running Indesign 17.4 on a Mac 10.15.7 and I am having problems with MultiPageImporter 2.6.4 which seems to me the most recent version. The script refuses to import anything and I get error windows – see attached. The script seems to work occasionally but more often it doesn't. I have been using the script for years and when working it is a great help.
Does anyone know this problem? The values are as simple as it gets.
Best regards

First, I have no idea what is causing the error, but what happens if 1) you change the crop option to Media (which should be defined for all files) or 2) you try the same placing with a prvious version of the script?

And yet another thing you could try:
Change the minimum width and height of the pasteboard size of the document you target with the script to very large values. Do that in InDesign preferences when the document is open.

how exactly did you start the script?
Is it positioned in the User folder of the Scripts panel?
Did you execute it from there?
FWIW: Do not try to execute it with a double-click on the script file in your file system!

Are the placed PDFs too big for the pasteboard?

Sounds like a corruptr file, maybe.
Try exporting it to .idml, then open and save that as a new .indd.

Yes, the file was somewhat corrupt. IDML didn't make it so I created a new file and then it worked.

Can you open said PDFs without any problems in Acrobat Pro DC?
Where are the PDF files stored? At cloud storage of any kind? External harddisk? …
