I remember seeing something like this on a Forum somewhere but I cannot find it.
I need the script for placing multiple page PDFs that flows the PDF out, instead of clicking each page into position.
Anyone care to share?

Duh oh!
Thanks mac. Works pretty slick, I just placed a 504pg while I was napping working hard.
Oh yeah, and welcome to the zoo.
I've used this for the 1st time just now. Oh how sweet it is. :kiss:
How about in CS2 for a stone-age Repro Man like myself?
(Not by choice...)
I use CS2 as well even tho I have CS3 and CS4. Both CS3 and CS4 have issues with FPO comments in PDF's is why I don't use them even tho Adobe tells me they have changed nothing. Here are two place scripts for CS2.

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks!

Am starting to use this a bit. What are the tricks to getting the PDFs to centre properly? Run an EAL on 'em before placing, then run the Script? Or set up the Media Box to match?
Also, I seem to be getting a 'run-on' of unwanted pages. Am set up properly in advance, as far as I can tell. :undecided:
...I think the answer might be to use this instead. PDF Import/Place (http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:mSWu24bkpZ4J:mac.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/PDF-Multipage-Import.shtml+PDF+Multipage+Import+%28OSX%29&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au&client=firefox-a) It's got the 9-point placement buttons.
see the center button on the right? you can place the page either center, left, right. etc...
you can also scale all the pages at once, see button on bottom left.
Yep, at least an interface for adjusting. Haven't tried it yet...manana.
The pdf multipage import script that comes with cs5 and 6,
I don't see an options to size or move placement, missing something?

After placing the pdf I use Adjust layout script for moving. In points. There's another thread about this. I'll see if I can find it.
I still use the "PDF Multipage Import (OSX) (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1046385)" mini-App that's from 2003. Works great in CS6!
(We're still using 10.6.8 here, not sure if it will work in 10.7 or 10.8)
I use this script MultiPageImporter2.5JJB.jsx (attached) which gives you placement options, reverse order of pages, offsets, what box to use, etc.
nice! thanks Guys!
Slappy I thought I tried that one but I'm not sure if it works with Lion
Tracy, you get the Thread Resurrection Prize for this week. :laugh:
Say wha'? I resurrected an old thread and get nothing! :cry:
Show me; date, time, place.
Like I remember. Prolly the motorycle thread. I got the scary red text alert that it was 120 days into the deadzone.
Tracy's coming in at 1,247 days revival gap. Will have to think about how to reward you; gotta be equitable about these things. :undecided: Makes her deadzone 1,127 days. But I could be reading that wrong.
She wins. I'm sure there are many many threads here that Joe hopes are never revived again. :embarrassed:

what's really funny is I already had the script :grin:
I was in the apple script pallet instead of the java :embarrassed:

Guess this is dead in 10.7, as I get the icon crossed out symbol. I really liked the 9-point interface but I guess the MultiPageImporter2.5JJB that runs inside of InDesign will have to do now. :sadface:
I need to install CC soon, does that one work to anybody's knowledge?
That link is dead. Do you have the script file? I've had success editing them in the past.
Considering CC as well right now but no idea if it has it or how well it works.
This is the one:

I have a feeling it won't work becasue of the Sandboxing in 10.7 - aren't there restrictions now on loading apps that aren't Apple Approved?
WWAD?

You can override that setting to allow all apps.
I will take a look at this and see if I can do anything with it.

I thought you were talking about an InDesign script. That is actually an app so I can't do anything with that.
Here is a JavaScript one that works with CS6 (It says it is for CS5 but it does work with CS6). Place it in your Indy Scripts/samples/javascript folder and launch Indy. It has the 9-point placement but it looks a little different but it does work.
Yeah, I have that one too, was just used to the other one. I'll Adapt. :toaster:
