holger8080 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hi all, I'd like to place several pages of a multi-page PDF in Designer. Indesign has a feature to place multiple PDF pages, see e.g. this Link, but I couldn't figure out how to do that in Designer. And I really don't want to place a hundred or so pages by hand... Hope you can help (or add the feature). I've searched the forum, and a lot of people seem to request a feature like that, but I couldn't find any answer other than do it by hand. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK36 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Simple - File - Open - select the .pdf file you want - a dialogue will appear - "load all pages" should be checked by default - file opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not quite what I was looking for. What if I want to place e.g. an A5 PDF into my existing A4 Designer document with all pages? jamesholden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK36 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 You could open the pdf file as I described and then select each page and copy and paste into your A4 document Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenak Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I really use the place multiple pages from PDF a lot in my work, at the minute Designer doesn't even show you a dialogue to chose a page from the PDF, you get page one regardless (unless I am missing something here) I don't want to have to open a multi page document and then cut and paste. The ability to set up a document full of frames and then do Place - PDF - some or all pages, and then put them into the frames is almost essential. One page at a time would be very tedious but better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
