: Is there a way of converting a multi pg PDF into a working Indesign file? I have a pdf from the client with over 80 pages in it. I'd like to know if there's a way of converting the PDF

I have a pdf from the client with over 80 pages in it. I'd like to know if there's a way of converting the PDF into a layered Indd, because working an 80pg booklet on AI is ridiculous and the client doesn't have the working file.

This was previously asked. Here is the answer:

It's hidden away but it is possible.

1) File > New > Document

Enter the number of pages of your PDF in "Number of Pages". Deselect "Facing Pages" if you want individual pages. If you know the dimensions of your PDF, set that as your document width and height now, otherwise you can edit it later using File > Document Setup.

2) Window > Utilities > Scripts

Drop down "Application", drop down "Samples" and drop down "JavaScript". Locate "PlaceMultipagePDF.jsx" and double-click it. Locate your PDF and open it. Follow the "OK" prompts and allow it to populate in inDesign.
