How do I import multi-page PDFs into an indesign document?

Note:  When I search for answers to this question on the adobe site, i encounter a broken link.
I need to insert several multi-page PDFs such that they become one document that I am able to appy consistent control over.  Should I be doing this in indesign?  What is the best way to do this?

If you don't want to use them in InDesign for any other purpose than to assamble them in one new PDF I would rather use Adobe Acrobat Pro than InDesign.
In Acrobat Pro: Create new Deocument > Form multiple Files, select further what you need.

  • Importing multi-page PDF into ID.

    Help. I have a 25 page PDF file that is made to be printed and folded.
    The pages are setup in sequence. I want to be able to import all those pages, but I wonder how I would be printing the document if I'm able to import it in ID. I want to print them, fold them and staple folded pages, so that requires to setup all pages not in a sequence since I will stapling them, but it would be page 1 and 25, then page 2 and 24, page 3-23. Since I never done anything of this sort, how would go about doing that. or is there another solution someone could suggest that is better.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks - Ben

    There are a bunch of scripts that come with ID. One is place multiple page PDF. Then search the forum for imposition scripts by Dave Saunders. There's one for ID2 and one for ID3. When you run that script you will have a booklet. Pages must be in multiples of four in case you're not aware (take a sheet of paper and fold it in half to see what I mean).

  • How do I import Czech font Glyphs into my Indesign document? (Mac OS).

    Regards
    David Would

    First off, assure the right characters are copied from the PDF -- it could be they got mangled in the encoding, or never were properly encoded. There is no guarantee the PDF contains the correct characters.
    Select the text and apply one of these fonts: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode, Times New Roman. These all have extremely large character sets, and Czech characters (those with the hacheks, right?) should be in there. If they still appear as pink boxes, check the Unicode of these (select just one of the pink boxes and look in the Info panel). Unicodes for the Czech characters are 10C,10D (C caron), 11A, 11B (E caron), 160, 161 (S caron) -- perhaps a few more. If you see something like "F01A", that's way out of range, and you'll have to replace them manually with the 'correct' characters.
    If the font you're using doesn't have the required chars as single glyphs, you will have to replace them manually by its base character and a hachek, tracked leftwise to its correct position. You can do this for one character and then use the 'formatted clipboard' option in Search/Replace.

  • How to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file?

    Hi!
    We are trying to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file. We are using Adobe Acrobat Standard v 9. Can it be possible?

    I am also looking for feedback.  Although having a PDF copy of a document is wonderful, long term and efficient archival for my workplace is tif or tiff.
    Very frustrating that the PDF to tiff creates a separate tiff file for each page of the multi-page PDF document.  Are there any options or work-arounds?

  • Import multi-page PDF

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to import a multi-page PDF document into Pages? For example, I only need the 4th and 5th page in a PDF document, or I need all 20 pages, or....
    Seems like only the first page gets imported. It's incredible that inDesign and Quark (and PowerPoint?) have had this capability for years and years but it's left out of the Pages 09?!?!
    -j

    I only need the 4th and 5th page in a PDF document, or I need all 20 pages, or....
    The principle of the thing is that PDF is a page description model, that is, it is an object oriented and non-revisable format and not a revisable format such as DOC.
    In a revisable format such as DOC one can cut from the middle of page 19 to the middle of page 25 in one revisable file and paste that into the middle of page 3 in another revisable file.
    If a non-revisable object oriented format such as PDF is to be placed as a page object in a revisable format, then the revisable format has to have a way to deal with this.
    It does this by means of the box-geometry in the portable document format and different applications support different box-geometries - mediabox, artbox, cropbox and so forth.
    Part of the problem with this is that people tend to confuse a non-revisable page description with a revisable file format, and part of the problem is that when a non-revisable object oriented page description is to be placed in a revisable file format, the importing application has to arrive at an assumption about what to do, and it's easiest to do this page by page.
    Note that it is a known problem that if a PDF which is searchable is placed into a revisable file and that revisable file is saved out as a PDF with the first PDF nested inside, the first PDF may be partly or wholly unsearchable. In other words, Unicode imaging may not work, or may not work well.

  • Convert Multi Pages PDF into SWF SLideshow

    Is there an easy way to convert a multiple page PDF into an

  • Automatically create pages when importing multi-page pdf

  • Importing Multi-Page PDF. Problems with Image Size Changing.

    I am working with CS4 on Windows XP.
    This has happened to numerous files...
    I open a multi-page PDF using PhotoShop using Grayscale. There are crop marks indicated on each page, so I will use the crop tool to crop each image accordingly. Then I convert each to a bitmap and save it as a .tiff file and close it. When I re-open the file, the image size has increased. It seems like it increases the same amount each time (maybe about 25%??) for each file.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I'm still unclear why you are bothering to open these PDF in Photoshop only to crop.
    Acrobat can do this most easily. Placing the PDF files back in InDesign can also do this.
    Photoshop is the last tool you'd want to use as it is rasterizing the vector elements/text and producing a larger file.
    If you have neither Acrobat or InDesign, look to a free tool to crop PDF.

  • How do I insert a .pages file into an openoffice document

    How do I insert a Pages .pdf file into an openoffice writer document?

    Hi Jim,
    Happy to help! If you've already combined a file using Adobe PDF Pack, you can open that combined file in the free Adobe Reader (or in Acrobat, if you have that). But, it sounds like you don't have either one installed, so that would be the best place to start. You can download the free Reader from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html. Or, if you want to try Acrobat free for 30 days, you can download that from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. Either one will let you view PDF files.
    Some notes:
    You'll need Acrobat if you want to have some control over where new pages are inserted into an existing file. It lets you decide whether the new pages are inserted before or after a specific page. For example, if you have a 12-page document, you could choose to insert the new pages at the beginning, the end, or anywhere in between. (CombinePDF lets you determine the order in which files are combined, but not with that granularity.)
    Reader doesn't allow you to insert one file into another, so your workflow with Reader would be to use Combine PDF on Acrobat.com. You'd select both the previously combined file and the new file, give the combined file and name, and then click Combine. Then, you could view the combined file in Reader.
    I hope this all makes sense. It's a lot to take in. Please don't  hesitate to let me know if you would like additional help.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How to split a parallell-page PDF into single-page PDF

    My situation: I have a few hundred pages of files I made quite a few years ago, optimized for "self-publishing" via the printer. I no longer have any source files (my own bad). These files have 2 pages next to each other in an A4 landscape PDF. I would like to change and combine these files into a US Letter portrait PDF.
    I have browsed earlier, similar threads, most notably the most referred to thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3331516
    which recommends using Adobe PDF printer. However, as this thread points out, and as I for one have found on my own system (10.8.3), Adobe PDF printer is no longer an option on Mac OS X (version 10.6 and on):
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/556366
    So the question then is: How do we now split double-page landscape PDFs into single-page portrait PDFs?

    Since at least OSX.5 adobe has removed PDF Printer which was begining to fail it was written in Adobe's altered version of javascript and it was a wonder it was working to begin with They replaced it with an Automator action that's called up through the print Driver.
    Here are the steps for applications other than Acrobat.
    create you doucument. laying it out the way you want it.
    Go to Print menu.
    click and hold the pdf button - a context menu pops up.
    now scan the list of choices and choose Adobe PDF or Adobe Quality PDF (depends on version of OS)
    wait for direction fields to come up and make the desired choices (the first screen is basically job options).
    when asked ask for name either ecept name give or choose name of your choice.
    Browse to desired location for file
    then click save.
    How the PDF is layed out in acrobat is determinedby acrobat. Adobe add an additional Layer on top of the Print Driver. You can by pass it and use the Print Driver but if there is an orientation switch in your docment the page is turned so everything comes out with same edge of Paper
    Oh, look out for a Grand idea Adobe did that even Forest Gump would have left alone.
    If you want to do duplex printing to a PDF with more than one page you won't be able to do so whether you have your printer setup for duplex printing. You can go back and forth from printer setting s to Printer setting toggling off and on til you turn blue in the face. You have to go into the document properties and loo for a command called SIMPLEX printing its on by default and needs to be turned off. Even my cat Boots would be smart enough not to put that in.
    This settinging does not permanently turn off and you have to do with each document you create or resave.

  • How can I import Apple/Pages typescript into inDesign Book design?

    How can I import typscript created in Apple/Pages into inDesign book layout?

    @annsymes – other than copy/paste?
    If you inspect the preferences for the Clipboard in InDesign you could toggle between formatted text or non-formatted text when pasting from different applications. Don't know, if that will make a difference in your case.

  • How do I import a Pages file into a Keynote slide ?

    I have successfully copied multiple charts produced in Numbers into a keynote slide but have drawn a complete blank importing a pages file. I asked during a one to one session but my tutor did not know - Is it possible please. 

    If you need something from a Layout Document - Copy and Paste will do it.
    Open your Pages document and select the portion you want > COPY
    Open Keynote and create a blank slide > PASTE
    Note: When you copy text boxes, images, etc. they will all be selected and copied - when you paste, you will see all the separate parts still selected - this would be a good time to GROUP the various elements so that you can re-size the whole thing to fit your needs.
    It is a bit more tricky from a Word Processed Pages Document - if you do what I described above, you get a text box containing all of the text and individual photos but you lose the placement.
    I found the easiest way to retain the look of the page is to take a Screenshot (CMD-Shift-4 then drag the cross hairs to select then release the mouse button) and place the screenshot on the slide and adjust size - since most Pages Documents are portrait and Keynote is landscape, there is no perfect fit. I prefer to add borders to the placed screenshot to show that it is a page - your choice there.
    Good Luck.

  • How to import multiple XML files into one inDesign document without copy/paste ?

    I use InDesign CS6, and I have several XML files with the same structure. Only the data are different.
    I created  an Indesign layout with some tagged placeholder frames on merge mode, for automated layout.
    Today for each XML file I have to create a new InDesign document to import the XML. Everything works fine. Then in order to have all Indesign layouts one after the other into a single Indesign layout, I have to use the copy/paste function.
    I mean for example, copy the contents of all documents to the first one. Or add pages of other documents to the first one, then delete spaces between each page.
    So my question is the following:
    How to repeat this process without copy/paste function, knowing that the
    number of XML files could be unknown.
    Thank you very much for your answer.

    Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
    I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
    My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
    Thanks for the quick reply
