Importing a multi-page PDF

[Michael Brady]

Hey, folks

I know how to do that (using import options). What I can’t remember is what key-combo to use to drop the PDF pages automatically one page after the other. I expected that if I Cmd-click or Opt-click with the cursor at the upper left corner of the first page, the rest would drop one by one on each page.

Anybody know how to do that?

Danke, mes amigos

looks like you need a script?

Michael, 

As Judy mentioned: InDesign doesn't have a way to automatically insert all the pages of a PDF. You would have to either click-click-click through them all, or use a script. 

I think you were thinking of Shift-clicking the place cursor with a long text/word file. That will automatically add pages and thread them together.

Thank you and Judy. I rarely have to do this (as in, obviously, this is my first time). I thought I remembered seeing that feature demonstrated or talked about. Ah, well.
