Morning

I'm just wondering if someone knows of a script (or several that together can do the job) that will take a PDF file, save each page as a picture in Photoshop (preferably TIFF or PSD to keep quality) in correct sequence and then import each picture into InDesign in the right order and place/fit them on the page (Like the MultipageImporter script)?

At the printing office where I work we often receive PDF-files of doctoral or master thesis' that are made in some weird/corrupt ways that won't let us print differnt pages (error message), or omit certain pages when sent to the printer without giving any warning (the pages simply don't print). So I am looking for a way to help my boss with these crazy files and I think this would be the last way if every other trick fails.

Thanks for any help

Chuckie: I believe I got step one and two, but the third (with the contact sheet) you lost me on, sorry. Do you think you could explain a little more detailed? Buying the PDF2ID is sadly not an option.

Adamjury: Usually when I need help like described in my first post, the PDF files are corrupt in such a way that when I use the script MultiPageImporter it will first of all crash/stop the script.  It also usually means that I can not view the page in Acrobat because it simply won't show or I get a message that this is not how it should be (can't remember at the moment exactly what Acrobat tells me). Luckily I can still open the page in Photoshop manually.

Thanks a lot for your help so far, both of you!

Another question on the side by the way, is there some webpage where you can learn Acrobat tips & tricks? Of course I know there are, but not all are good.  I.e. I have helped my boss a lot after learning how to save optimized PDF-files about a month ago in the easiest situations that is enough to get the file printing again.
