how to import a 200 page pdf file with text in AP


Recommended Posts

I have documents with lots of pages for books, made in Indesign CS 2017

I know that it's possible to import simple PDF files, but how about spreads with marks and bleeds, and margins and masterpages?

I tried to import these files as a PDF in AP, but I failed and don't really know if its possible

 Also didn't find a manual on U-tube

 

Is there anybody who can help?

thanks gamtak

When you say "import" do you mean File > Open or File > Place?

Hi Walt

Wel I tried it both ways

File > place imported only page one

File > open imported all the pages but there is some strange things happen...

 

this screenshot from the imported file shows Janson text 55  3 pt  (it has to be 12 pt)

in real print it the fontsize  is estimated 18 pt

I think that I do something wrong, but do not know what it is

and this is what happens when I try to correct the fontsize  to 12pt in AP
