Well, it’s time yet again for another episode of “cool (and free!) scripts that can save you bundles of time and energy.” At the beginning of the year, I wrote a post about Scott Zanelli’s PDFplacer script, which places each page of a PDF on to a different page of your InDesign document. That’s pretty cool, but within an hour, someone replied asking for more: The ability to import InDesign documents in the same way… then other folks asked for more features, too.
Scott, recently graduated and with too much time on his hands, complied. The new version of the script works with both PDF and INDD files. It’s also renamed MultiPageImporter. You can download it from GitHub.
Older Versions of MultiPageImporter
Original version from March, 2009, for CS4
Newer version (2.5), from March, 2010
Newest version (for CS5) from December 2010
There are detailed instructions in the folder (after it is unzipped).
Here’s a screen capture of the import dialog box:
But here’s my question: Why do you want to import all the pages of one InDesign document into another? How are you using this script to make your life easier? Just curious.
