multiple files not placing correctly when placing multi-page pdf into frames
I found this error posted as a bug; since that post was from 2022 with a version of inDesign well past I'm making a new post.
Adobe InDesign version 21.4.1
I need to impose several 2 sided cards for printing.
File>Place... Select multiple pdfs - Open
Place PDF - Choose All under Pages - Repeat for all placed items (doing 4 in my example)
OK so in recording for this post I figured out that if I place on to blank pages, this didn't happen -- all pages of all 4 pdfs placed for 8 total. If I do my usual habit of placing the crop marks and a frame on a parent page, then place my multiple pdfs into frames on the main pages so I can step and repeat them all, it SKIPS EVERY OTHER PDF. :( Placing into an empty frame ensured correct placement and saved me a step.
The unplaced pdf files show up in the links menu but are otherwise in an inaccessible limbo.
