      I have to place multiple page pdfs (70-80 pages) within a Indesign document all the time. It is an image on the page so I am placing them within image frames set up on the pages. I go to place/show import options then I select “all” or even “range” but only the first page comes in. Is this a new Indd glitch?

      You’re sure the little radio-button is clicked next to the “all” or “range”?

        Yes. I tried it a couple of times to make sure I did. It is doing weird things. The other day it wouldn’t drop the pdfs into existing frames. But I got it to work if I drew the frames as I went.

        I was testing it now and it wouldn’t place any pages but the first page. (existing frame or not).

        Then I held down my Option key when I went to place. It looked like it was going to place all the pages. It had a dialog box that was going Read, write, through the pages, but then nothing showed up in the document.

        One of my teammates was also having issues and asked me about it. That is when I thought that it might be a bug.

      If the pages are in one PDF, then exract them into separate pages and make an effort to place them where you want.
      Next time, do the same with the new document. Move the previous pages in some folder, and put the new ones on their place having in mind to be named as the previous ones. When you open InDesign it will replace the images automatically.

      Thanks. But that will not work for my needs. I have to place multiple pages all the time and I work in a team so others may need to jump in to a file and update. They aren’t always the same document but different.

      Yes, this is a bug in 17.2.
      Adobe has released 17.2.1 with the bug fix but it is slowly rolling out around the world. I don’t have it here in the USA yet for example.
