The PlaceMultipagePDF sample script included with InDesign works well,
but I'm having trouble getting the PDF I want to import resized so that
it fills the pages at the right size, 148.5 x 210 mm - or A5, which
oddly doesn't seem to appear as one of the many standard options in
the Acrobat Crop Pages dialog. The file I have is 134.62 x 210.83 mm,
and what I want to do seems normal and expectable enough: lop the .83
mm off the top and add 13.88 / 2 = 6.94 mm to both sides. Crop Pages
will crop the .83 mm off the top okay, but I can't get it to widen on
both sides to 148.5. For one thing, Acrobat provides a Center option
and I want that, but it's difficult to change the X and Y offsets, and
even when I succeed with that I get a "Page size may not be reduced"
alert, even though I'm not reducing the page size but leaving it at
210.83 with the crop at the top.

Something seems squirrely with the Crop Pages function. Does anyone
know how to resize the PDF to 148.5 by 210? If not I'll work out a
script to center the imported PDF pages, which won't be a bad
exercise. I'll send the PDF to anyone who's interested in looking at it.


Thanks,

Roy
