    With Illustrator CC 2018 it is not possible to place any other page of a multiple-page pdf than the first page. In CS6 it was possible to place any page desired, but now the necessary dialogue is missing.

    But I already found the alternative: Simply open the document instead. With the revamped open-dialogue ist is possible to chose an array of pages and with an extra checker you can simply place them in your document, instead of opening them. Hence for pdf´s it is wiser to use the open-dialogue to place pages. That is a little weird. But I love the new open-dialogue for pdf´s that gives the opportunity to place multiple pages of pdf´s in one go.

    But mayby Adobe should think about integrating this into the place-dialogue and not to hide it as a checker in the open-dalogue.
    But still: Great idea!
    Thank you!
    You could top this if you gave the opportunity to create outlines of the fonts you do not have installed on your computer when opening a pdf. Means if you do not have the font, you could decide to create outlines instead, in order to be able to open the document in Illustrator.
    This would be a really cool feature.
