Hi,I just came across an article on Scott Zanelli which I thought you might like to share with others.Scott Zanelli Wins Award for Excellence in Software Engineering Thank you Scott and Mike for this great time-saver! Note that there is a user guide included with version 2.5 which would still be very handy to have to guide you through using the latest version. The latest stable version is maintained by Mike Edel can be found here:

One thing that wasn’t mentioned was that it’s not just for placing PDF files, but can be used to place multiple page InDesign files as well! There have been several versions-and a name change to MultiPageImporter-since we discovered this versatile PDF file placer, here are links to those iterations: If an InDesign doc isn’t open, it will read the size from the PDF and create a new InDesign document at the size of the PDF before placing the pages.” “…it allows the user to choose a page range from the PDF being placed, the crop type to use when placing, the page in the InDesign document to start placing on (adding new pages as needed), where to place it on the page (upper right, centered, etc., and using an optional offset), and whether to scale the PDF to the existing page size. When we were first was introduced to this script, Zanelli wrote about some things his script did that the included script didn’t: Our quest for a better solution many moons ago led us to the discovery of the PDFplacer script by Scott Zanelli. That’s where a third-party option can come in handy. And while it does as advertised, it’s a one-trick pony: It places all the pages without giving you much in the way of options. It does as its name suggests and places the many pages that comprise your incoming PDF all in one go.
The PlaceMultipagePDF script by Olav Martin Kvern-which ships free with InDesign-is ready to help with such a Herculean task. This isn’t a huge burden with a relatively small PDF file, but can be an overwhelming task with a hefty document. It’s easy enough to import a PDF into an InDesign document, either as an entire document or by specific pages, but you have to click to place each page.
