Can't add multi-page document

I made the mistake of not using the software for a few months which means I'm back top square one. I've tried everything and I can't add more than one page of text at a time. In InDesign you have to hold down a key when you are importing. I searched the web and everyone happily tells you that there are these blue boxes on the side of the text box. Well my text window has no blue boxes. Another one shows a default you have to set in the Layout box but that default doesn't exist so there's no way to set it. It really shouldn't be this hard to import more than one page at a time. Also the documentation doesn't cover this not that the documentation is very useful. Documentation seems to be passe these days. Back in the stone age we were given books. These days no one wants to be bothered to even add documentation in the help section. Just plain laziness and being cheap to an extreme. Sorry just wasted hours on this one and I'm no closer to figuring it out. I was hoping to do a test book for a meeting in the morning and it's 3:30 am and I've yet to even start. I guess I should have used InDesign but the current version doesn't have text flow. Also insanely slow to layout a book so it would have been a waste of time.
Enough rambling. Just need to know how to import multiple pages so they'll add pages as needed and flow and as I said there are NO blue boxes. Not sure if the last upgrade took them away or what but none of the helpful stuff people suggest seem to exist now.

Thank you for your response. It is possible to do this but I need the 'Add web page to existing doc' feature to work for me. I will be converting a large number of similar pages to pdf and this feature would be perfect if it worked as it is intended. Going back later to insert pages is counter-productive for me.

  • Can I add a Pages document to an iPhoto journal?

    I have created an iPhoto journal from photos taken at my high school graduation. Can I add a Pages document listing our deceased classmates to this journal?

    I see your question has remained unanswered for a while now. I suggest you experiment around with copy/paste to see how text from the Pages app might work on a journal. Please report back with how you make out.

  • PDF Multi Pages Document

    Hello, I'd like to know if with Bridge I can compose PDF multi pages documents assembling pages of different sizes... I was able to do that with Photoshop older versions... but I cant' manage the situation with Bridge because in Output window I can set the page dimension but the program automatically sets all the pages at the same size... Is there any way out???
    Thanks.

  • Why can I not print all pages in a multi-page document?

    Why can I not print all pages in a multi-page document?

    We are using Adobe Acrobat Reader, version 11.0. It's on a relatively new laptop (Windows 8) and accessing the internet through Mozilla. The printer is an HP Officejet. When I open a multi-page Adobe document and try to print all pages, I only get 1-2, have to then say print page 3, then say print page 4, etc. We use Adobe on our other laptop and it prints all pages of all Adobe documents and we have never had a problem and he accesses documents on the internet also through Mozilla.

  • When creating a multi page document, some of my thumbnails become linked and can't be separated for editing. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct this?

    When creating a multi page document, some of my thumbnails become linked and therefore impossible to rearrange. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct this?

    The pages in sections stick together because the text flows between the pages.
    Insert a section break to isolate pages between sections.
    Now this all works in Pages '09, unfortunately Pages 5 doesn't let you.

  • Multi-page document with multi Master-pages

    Using InDesign CS6 (Mac): 
    I'm to start a 50-page document that's single-pages (not spreads) for 3-hole-punch book. I'm using 2 Master pages, which are alternating between the front and back of each sheet. So page 1 is master A, page 2 is B, 3-A, 4-B, etc.
    So that I don't have to manually add alternate pages to the Pages window — is there an elegant way I could tell InDesign at the "New Document" level to create those 50 alternating pages?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Jdanek, but after posting my question here I realized a better place to post it is in the InDesign forum, and I already got the answer there, which is to create a facing-page document with one master page, that has a larger margin at the binding side. The pages will be read as spreads, even if this a 3-hole-punch book. I then will save it as a single-page PDF for production.

  • Can't save multi page pdf in preview

    Hi,
    From previous posts, I see that I can drag jpegs to make a multi page document in preview (show sidebar> drag images to it), but when I save, I get only one image. Why can't I save all the images as one document?
    Thanks!
    David

    David, that was helpful. I was having the same issue, searched the forum and found this thread.
    I might add that if you're starting with say 3 separate pdf pages - open the first one and then View/Sidebar/Show Sidebar. Add all your pages and then follow your procedure.

    Hi,
    It depends on the software you are using, what is it ? In general you can select a range or just a number of pages.

  • I am having trouble printing multi-page documents on my Epson printer. 13" Macbook Pro, Adobe InDesign, Epson WF-7520

    I have a multi-page document and I want to print some of the pages, double-sided, to check my work. I can't seem to get the interface to recognise that I want to print a specific range of pages, so it will print just one page [no double-sided] or, I assume, it will print the WHOLE LOT [not good at this stage!] HEEEELLLLPPP!! 
    To explain, the dialogue box which opens when you hit Command+P has an option of 'Pages' or 'Range' but 'Range' gives you only two options:  All Pages or A4V. If I click the 'Printer' button I get another dialogue box with more options and from there I can choose to print 'All' or 'Pages' . . . and you change 1 to 1 to say, 1 to 3 for example. There is also an option to print double-sided. But nothing seems to be working and as soon as you finish with this second dialogue box it seems to forget every parameter you choose there. The summary page on the first dialogue box also seems suspiciously sketchy on details of what, exactly, it is about to print. By the way I have installed the latest driver set from Apple for this printer. Is anyone else having the same problem?

    Thank you so much Eric. I did what you said. I still had the same result, but finally [somehow] I ended up clicking on something which doesn't even look clickable - this is a tiny set of back- and forward arrows in the 'Range' option. Using this feature seems pretty hit-and-miss but I persevered and was able to get it to accept my parameters, i.e. "1 - 2" in range. You have to go into the second ["Printer"] dialogue box each and every time you print, to enable two-sided printing. At last I was able to get it to print pages 1 and 2 of my three-page document. Now maybe I can test-print pages from my 108 page tome! Fingers crossed . . .   

  • How to create a scrollable ( multi page) document using Acrobat 5.0 for Windows

    How do I create a multi page document that can be scrolled through? I want to place one drawing, which I have in pdf format, on each page of the document then send it via email so the recipient can open it and scroll through the pages to see all the drawings.

    Thank you so much for the prompt and succinct reply. I tried what you suggested and it worked very well. I am new to Acrobat and it is nice to know there are knowledgeable professionals that can grasp the essence of the problem and lead the way to the solution. Thanks!

  • Export Multi-Page Document as Individual PDF's, Exporting Layers

    I'm not sure if there is a way to do this (I've scoured through the Export dialogues and I'm not sure if what I am looking for is counter-intuitively labelled or just doesn't exist). What I would like to do is take a multi-page document and export it so that each page is it's own PDF - from a single Export. I know that there are ways to split PDF's in Acrobat, but we are trying to streamline our workflow so I'd prefer if this can just be done in one step at the time of PDF creation.
    The other issue I am running into, when I export a PDF with layers, the elements on the layers are rearrangting themselves. For example: I have a 45 page document, with 3 layers (Dieline, Background, Artwork). When I export the PDF, all of the layers are in the proper order, but only Page 1 has the creative elements on the proper layers (Pages 2-45 take all artwork and move it up to the top-most layer).

    You’ll need a script. What version of InDesign? Is it fully patched? How are you viewing the PDF?

  • Printing multi-page documents

    I have a 25-page .psd document that I want to print in CS6 in one hit, but I only seem able to print it by opening each page individually and processing it separately. What can this be done?

    Photoshop for whatever reason does not print multi-page documents as you would see in PDFs. Acrobat does not accept psd files for conversion into PDFs,
    So I nicked the following from here: How do I create multi-page PDFs from PSDs on Photoshop CS5? - Quora
    Its not a one step process but kind of a workaround really -
    STEP1 Export all your files as JPEG or PNG.
    If there are lot of files you can do it in one go using File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack then create a new PSD with all the files you want exported. Then go File > Scripts > Export Layers to Files and export it as one of the above image formats
    STEP 2 As mac user - Go to the folder where all the above files are exported and Cmd Open it all together in "Preview" application, then click Print, but instead of printing save as PDF. There is an option to save as PDF in the popup you get before printing. So JOB DONE
    As a PC user - I am not 100% if they have inbuilt utility of saving as PDF while printing but I remember I used a third party software (which was free) I think it was called bullzip PDF print or something like that. And then you can do the same in Windows as well like mac. You can either load all your JPEG or PNG files in windows image viewer or I think Word should definitely work. Like you will need to copy all your images in there and then "Save as PDF"
