Reply To: simple format automation needed.

jmchase, this may not work for your job, but I work at a print shop and we deal with crummy PDFs a lot.

If the document is sized in the center of the PDF, make a1-page InDesign document that’s the size of the whole PDF. Window->Utilities->Scripts->PlaceMultiplePage PDF

Then size the document as it should be, and hopefully the crop marks line up.

As for the spiral binding, not sure. We use Enfocus Pitstop Pro to fix that sort of thing (It’s expensive, but there’s a trial download) https://www.enfocus.com/en/products/pitstop-pro
