Indesign download8/11/2023 Yes, I understand there’s probably a better way of doing it, but for how I’m set up now, this script saved me some headache. And when I make edits to one of the other versions, I just open the master, update my links, and I have the latest version of the complete manual. So when I want to make a PDF of the whole manual steps 1?25 or whatever, I use this script to compile all the versions into one master document. So I have a few different versions of different steps of the manual: ex: steps 1-6 are one document (although, now there’s several versions), steps 6-20 another document (with multiple versions) etc. I also realize I should probably be using Frame Maker, several reasons I’m not, but probably should. (Yes, probably not the best scenario….I know). Quick reply to your question as to why you would want to import and indd doc into another I’m working on a detailed installation manual for an engine product that is being edited as I assemble it by two different teams. Thanks so much for sharing your intelligence with the rest of the common world. Anyway the job was made some easy with this script. Maybe this issue has been addressed and I have not red about it in the lengthy blog. This was of course remedy by using the offset X and Y. The problem I ran into while using it was that when clinking the option to center each PDF on the page it only centered top-to-bottom aligning to the very left edge of the page. The Multi-Page Importer was the time saver I needed. Needless to say the 400 pages took me over two months to scan and I was so wanting to be done with it! The last thing I wanted to do was place every page individually into an Indesign document, Yet I had to add space for binding margins and a comfortable trim edge. The latest one was a 50 year old journal written in blue ink – I had to contrast-levels adjust every scanned page and make edits to smudges, etc. I have somehow gotten into scanning old handwritten journals. I wish I could have helped in some way to develop this utility because I have wanted this functionality for several years. What a life saver for me – This Script was soooo needed useful. Here’s a screen capture of the import dialog box:īut 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. There are detailed instructions in the folder (after it is unzipped). Newest version (for CS5) from December 2010 Original version from March, 2009, for CS4 The new version of the script works with both PDF and INDD files. Scott, recently graduated and with too much time on his hands, complied. 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. 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.
