PDFs and Illustrator

[stephanied68869799]

Hey guys!

I have a 68 pg catalog in PDF format that I need to edit. I am trying to pull it into illustrator but I can only do one page at a time. Is there a way to import the entire PDF into Illustrator or is a single page at a time the only option?

P.S. I tried Acrobat, but I am lost in there, thought I would ask this before schooling myself

Prepression: The Ten Commandments of PDF

Editing a PDF in Illustrator (when it has been created in another software) is not advisable.

Try and get the source files and edit them in whatever application they have been created in.

Apart from that: yes, there is a script available to import all pages into one file. But opening your PDF in Illustrator might ruin whatever is in your file.

Search for the name Carlos Canto in the forum. He has posted a version of a script which will do what you ask.

All the link for the script seem to be dead
