In this InDesign how-to video, Julie Shaffer shows a couple of scripts that help place items into an InDesign file. The Place Multipage PDF script does just what it says—with just one click—and Image Catalog gives you a nice layout of images with filenames. The Merger script deftly combines a folder of InDesign files into one InDesign document.
The first two scripts shown are included with InDesign and can be found in the Samples folder in the Scripts panel. The Merger script can be downloaded for free here: https://creativepro.com/downloads/MergeFiles-2016.zip
