Multi-file Place
Placing multiple files with a single import can
save you time. InDesign now allows you to select
several files at once from the Place dialog box
or Adobe® Bridge CS3, and then import them with
a single command. The Place cursor will show
a preview of each file and the number of files
remaining. You can use the multi-file place feature
to import images and text files at once.
Object Layer Options for Importing
Illustrator and Photoshop Files
Utilizing the Import options in the Place dialog
box gives you the flexibility to import Photoshop
and Illustrator files with layer visibilities of your
choosing. You can use this feature to place
multiple states of a single file into an InDesign
layout, or easily switch between variable layers
within a placed file.
