    Placed Multipage PDF crop to preset

    zimbop Community Member

      I'm repeating the same actions over and over with many, many files into many, many documents and thought I'd ask to see if anyone could help to speed me up by removing one repetative step.

       

      I'm placing multipage PDFs into an indesign document.

       

      For example:

       

      page 1 of multipage PDF goes on page 13 of the INDD

      page 2 of multipage PDF goes on page 14 of the INDD

      page 3 of multipage PDF goes on page 15 of the INDD

      page 4 of multipage PDF goes on page 16 of the INDD

       

      Every single time I go to place the document I have to select the page to place (this seems reasonable) but also the crop to, which is always "bounding box" whereas I always want "Media".

       

      Is there any way to fix this option to media?

       

      I don't want to split the PDFs into separate pages as I don't have all the fonts and by splitting them the fonts are no longer embedded. Also, each of the documents has varying different fonts so chasing them all down would be an expensive nightmare.

       

      I'd be interested to hear how other forum members would tackle such a task!
