Multiple File Import #4

Open aaronf81 opened 6 years ago

aaronf81 commented 6 years ago

Add support for multiple file selection when Importing. Functionality for placing files sequentially would be needed (ie: alphabetical order - default, or alternatively order selected).

Mike, Any chance you would be able to help add multiple file selection soon? I have a massive project coming up shortly where this could be hugely beneficial.

To be honest I'm lacking the time right now. This does require the addition of several features and basic things to work. I can only suggest a workaround: try to merge the files in Acrobat prior to placing them. You just have to make sure that the first page has either the same dimensions as the rest or is the largest page. Otherwise the auto-fit options will probably not work.

Any chance you might be able to add the option for multi-file import, any time soon?

Realistically, not really unless somebody else is able to step in start working on it. It really would require major additions as the script was never meant to handle multiple files in a row.
