Join David Blatner for an in-depth discussion in this video 276 Make a grid of pages from a PDF file, part of InDesign Secrets.
- I'm going to place a PDF file into this blank document,…so I'll head up to the File menu, choose Place,…and then choose my PDF.…Now here, in this dialogue box,…I'm going to turn on the Show Import Options checkbox.…That way, I'll get more options for placing my file, right?…When I click Open, you'll see that one of the options I get…is to choose what page I want to import.…This works if you place a PDF, or an InDesign file,…or an AI file, you know, a native Illustrator file.…
You can import a single page,…or more than one page at a time.…In this case, I'm going to turn on the Range button,…and I'm going to say, import pages one to eight.…When I click OK, InDesign loads up my place cursor…and lets me place that PDF.…I'll click and drag, and I get the first page.…You'll notice that a preview of the second page…is now loaded onto the place cursor,…so I can click and drag, and then click and drag again…and so on.…So to place all eight of those pages, I would need to click,…or click and drag, eight times, right?…
