I’ve come up with a temporary solution, import everything automatically to a new layer, and if there’s any mistake just delete the layer and your back to square one. Simple. Maybe this can be a permanent solution, too. Maybe…

This script works amazing, and saved me countless hours of unnecessary labor. Really awesome!

Well, usually. All goes smooth until you notice, after importing hundreds of pages, that you mistakenly set it to the wrong setting. The relatively calm and organized workflow from hereon goes haywire! The problem: You got to hold down ctrl+z for the longest time to undo every bit of change the script has done to the document, and that is possibly five command per page! And then leave off at the exact right second, so it shouldn’t undo too much. Now, where have I left off? Did I make an undo too much? Too few?

Is there any way to make this script have a single undo command, to undo everything as if I have never run it in the first place?

With great appreciation!

I need to place a 300+ page PDF that is 8 1/2 x 11 into an InDesign doc that is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, and have the PDF pages scale proportionately to the smaller size. I cannot find a script or plug-in anywhere that will do this….can anyone help?

My many thanks in advance!

So into what folder does this script go? Loose in the Scripts folder, or one of the sub-folders? And then under what menu in InDesign do you access it?

Hi everybody,

When I discovered this script I was so releaved because it is supposed to do exactly what I need for a 576 pages document. Unfortunately, after many trials of corretions as proposed in the previous posts, it is not working at all in my case! I am working with Indesign CS3 and CS5 on Windows (apparently the scripts consider only the CS3 as the app.version value is 3). The first error message is on line 34 that app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel is undefined (undefined is not an object). Then, if I skip that message, on line 136, I get the message that PDFCrop is not defined. I was not able to pursue further to get the amazing results expected by this wonderfull script. May anyone help me?
Thanks…
