PDF Pages to Ai Artboards is BACK!

Have you ever had a multi paged PDF document that you wanted to place into Illustrator and have every page convert into its own artboard? I have. I came across a solution a couple years ago using an apple script that was created by Shane Stanley. I had CS4 at the time and the script was intended to only work for that version. Since then, I’ve upgraded to CS5 and, now CS5.5 and when I tried to drag and drop a multi page PDF document into my CS5 version, I couldn’t do it. 🙁

Well, it’s been almost over a year and Shane has written a new apple script that is able to convert PDF documents into Illustrator artboards for CS5. 🙂

Thanks Shane, There’s balance in my Ai world once again.

@HenriHelvetica I never tried lifting it when it was full of CDs lol. I also made my own speakers too. I got my first job at Future Shop just to fund my setup… and a Sega Dreamcast. Then I dipped. 🫡

@HenriHelvetica I’ve gone back to vinyl and recently started listening to them on my hifi system. Also added my double cassette deck and 200 disc CD changer. There’s such a different appreciation for the music and listening experience when you’re engaged with the components and medium.
