Place several PDF files (or a folder of PDF files) into an InDesign document


Hello

I know there are several scripts to place multipage Pdf into InDesign.

Based on these scripts I've done myself who place a PDF file with multiple pages in the form of a chart online where the name of the PDF file is inserted as a Cape.

Works very well. But when I want to import files PDF 20 I have to run this script 20 times, which is not very practical.

I'm looking for, so a way choose a folder in which are several PDF files that will be placed inside 1 ID doc.

Any suggestions?

. SelectDlg() of use:

function getPDFs(){
    var f = someFolder.selectDlg ('Select a folder')
    if (f != null){
        return f.getFiles('*.pdf');
    }
    return [];
}

  • join several swf files into a swf file

    Hello everyone

    I've been dealing with this problem for too long and decided to ask for help - how can I gather 15 swf files placed in a folder in a SWF one?

    I tried all kindes of the merger of programs like "Join (Merge, handset) several SWF Files Into One Software" and "WinMerge" without success and I tried to convert swf to flv (cause I found other software merging for flv files), but once again...

    I have CS5, so if I have to open Flash to do this I will, Although I try to avoid it, and even in this case I'll need complete instructions.

    All I need is this simple thing, so I'll thank very much any help

    Thank you & good day

    To stay a bit brief, cannot join several swf files in a folder and have still things work if the files involve actionscript.  You need to have the fla files, and then you can copy the timelines of each fla in movieclips into one main file.  What you need to do if you don't have the source fla files is to dynamically load the separate runtime files.

  • Preserve spot colors when you import the InDesign file into another InDesign file

    Work in InDesign CC.

    I often import InDesign files into other InDesign files and find it very useful for my workflow. Often it is a file that acts like a piece of the library that is used in the other files and I love being able to just change it and automatically update the other files.

    However I just came up with a work that is CMYK + spot and spot colors are not preserved import - they seem to import as CMYK. Can I export a PDF file and do it this way, but I prefer to skip the intermediate step.

    Any advice?

    Have you checked? It really looks like that process tasks is enabled in the file of reception, but I expect that to affect the PDF as well.

    I tested on CS6 and it works correctly, but I have on thei smachine CC, and no time this morning to start it, then maybe someone else will test for you to see if they get the same results.

  • CS6 Crash inDesign on placing a file on the indesign document, Crash report is attached.

    Hello

    InDesign CS 6 works very well for Mac mini in MacBookPro it always crash on placing a file on the InDesign Document.

    Crash report: http://pastebin.com/fUPiYd0c

    I tried:

    (1) to uninstall and reinstall CS 6

    (2) using different accounts including admin

    Troubleshooting 3) as following:

    ' a) Trash preferences (cmd-opt-shift-control keys for InDesign starting).

    Corrupt preferences (see above), or maybe the permissions on the folders that contain the preferences are such that InDesign cannot write correctly for them. (it sometimes happen).

    (b) by deleting sub folders: before you remove the sub directories/files, please make a backup (just to the trunk).  Exit design and try to delete the following files/directories (InDesign recreates them initially to the top):

    ~/Library/application support/Adobe/Adobe InDesign CS5.5

    InDesign ~/library/caches/Adobe

    ~/Library/Caches/com.Adobe.InDesign

    InDesign ~/Library/preferences/Adobe

    ~/Library/preferences/com.Adobe.InDesign.plist

    ~/Library/preferences/com.Adobe.InDesign.plist.lockfile

    ~/Library/saved application State/com.adobe.InDesign.savedState

    Note: The user library directory hides under MacPro/Lion. You can get there in the Finder by pressing Option and then go to the menu (other ways are too thin).

    Please let me know if I'm missing something.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Merge several video files into one (fastest option)

    Hello everyone.

    I was wondering if there is an easy way to join several video files using a first/Media Encoder (or another tool?)

    I mean other than import in a project, by adding them all in a timeline and making everything again.

    "Why not do just that? ... you ask.

    The thing is - it's a delay of 24 hours. Yes that's right - this is a project where something was filmed for 24 hours. And there are 6 clips STROKE (every 4 hours) which should be combined into one

    This makes it all... it takes 5 solid hours even on my MacPro.

    Any ideas?

    All the best.

  • Can not put multiple PDF files into a single document no more.

    I was able to scan multiple PDFs into one document on my desktop. I can no longer. I have a printer Photosmart HP 6515 and Windows7 OS.  PS. just the other day I had someone remotely access my computer to fix a problem with MagicJack (computer phone) and who knows what they might have done. Thank you to everyone.

    Nice day

    Here are a few screenshots I took it to give you an example of how to do to scan several pages in the scanner software. Make sure that the option is disabled for the creation of a separate file for each scanned page. Subsequently, click on the 'Destination' tab above and save it to any folder you want on your desktop or elsewhere.

    This should help, good luck

  • How cut a PDF paginated in two several PDF Pages in the same Document?

    I had a single, paginated Document PDF which must be extended with the same content as summarized on page 2.

    The PDF is interactive / writable.

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed in the company.

    What are the options I have:

    (1) add a second page or

    (2) pull the long page and divide it into two pages

    (3)... maybe another option?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The following example is an order page 2 page. He was fallible form fields. Each page has field name that has the same value on each page. There are lines of fields which are quantity, description, price and values extended and each field is named only by a number of basic suffix zero. The second page has a subtotal field that summarizes the value of each line on each page. The expanded field and subtotal field are calculated using document level scripts that calculate the field name using the extended calculation field name to get the prefix (page number) and the suffix (line number) to get the quantity and price, necessary to calculate fields.

    Order form Page 2

    This form is based on the pages generated using a template, and use the same code to calculate the pages based on a page having pioneered. This isn't a draft form for beginners, because it uses functions to perform repeated actions or calculations and calculates the exact name of the fields to use in the calculations of the domain name for the calculation script. More information is contained in Acrobat JavaScript QAnywhere and JavaScript reference Mozilla.

  • Place a swf file into a SWF

    Hello

    I am loading a swf into another by using the following code:

    var request: URLRequest = new URLRequest ("folio.swf");
    var loader: Loader = new Loader()
    Loader.Load (request);
    addChild (loader);
    Loader.y = 110;

    The original swf (folio) has a dark gray background - the color of the scene. However, in the second file, it appears with a white background or transparrent. I loaded a similar swf into an html page, and it has retained its background color.

    Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance.

    There is one background in any scenario of swf, so when you load a swf into another swf the main background of the victories of swf and the loaded swf file loses his.  If you want to keep the background, you will need to create a layer with a rectangle graphic color you want.

  • Trying to get an audio file in my InDesign document

    I placed a file audio mp3 in my paper, and when I select it appears in the media panel where I can play.

    But when I export the document (choose "Adobe PDF (Interactive)" in the format box), the audio file is not displayed on the page. Also, when I try to use the "Preview" Panel, there isn't an overview.

    I looked around adobe site and the net for a solution, but so far nothing yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Had the same problem. Then I realized that I needed to open PDF Acrobat Reader w! Everything was there, including the audio file. From the opening with preview (on mac), there was no audio file, but when I went to Acrobat, here. It's a universe centered on Adobe.
