![]() ![]() Thanks so much for sharing your intelligence with the rest of the common world. Anyway the job was made some easy with this script. Maybe this issue has been addressed and I have not red about it in the lengthy blog. This was of course remedy by using the offset X and Y. The problem I ran into while using it was that when clinking the option to center each PDF on the page it only centered top-to-bottom aligning to the very left edge of the page. The Multi-Page Importer was the time saver I needed. Needless to say the 400 pages took me over two months to scan and I was so wanting to be done with it! The last thing I wanted to do was place every page individually into an Indesign document, Yet I had to add space for binding margins and a comfortable trim edge. The latest one was a 50 year old journal written in blue ink – I had to contrast-levels adjust every scanned page and make edits to smudges, etc. I have somehow gotten into scanning old handwritten journals. I wish I could have helped in some way to develop this utility because I have wanted this functionality for several years. What a life saver for me – This Script was soooo needed useful. Here’s a screen capture of the import dialog box:īut here’s my question: Why do you want to import all the pages of one InDesign document into another?

If your PDF file contains lots of graphics, or you’re unable to highlight the text inside of it, it may not work with the app. If you are able to highlight, copy and paste the text from your PDF file, it will likely work with the app. ![]() The app cannot import images, graphics or shapes, which can be common in PDF files. Similarly, some programs will convert text into graphical shapes to maintain a complex style or unusual font. For example, if you scan a document with your office scanner or photocopier, the PDF file of that scan is just a photograph of your document saved as a PDF file. Some PDF files do not contain any text, even when they look like they do. The app needs to extract text from your file in order to turn it into a useful script for you to edit and adjust. Why will some files not work?Ī PDF file is different to a Word or text document, they can contain far more complex content and styling, they can even support interactive content like videos.
