Working at a design studio, we create digital proofs that are set up on a template so our proof pages all look streamlined. We use one working file (.AI) and place that file as linked images into a separate proof file (.AI).
Currently you can only place one page of the AI or PDF file at a time. This can be really tedious when there are a dozen or more images we want to place. We like to maintain the link so that we don't need to export files to relink to the proof file every time we want a new proof.
The place feature in InDesign is exactly what I'm looking for: choosing my working AI file, "loading" the pointer with every artboard/page, and dropping all of them into our proof file in one swing.
