Insert pdf into pages document

Is it possible to insert more than the first page only of a pdf document into a pages document?

No. Only the first page of the PDF is shown in the Pages document object and no selective pagination of that object is available.


If you want to slim down your Pages document, and have a multi-page PDF, then open that PDF in Apple's Preview with Thumbnail view, select and drag/drop that first thumbnail to your Desktop, where it can be further drag/dropped onto an open Pages document. In the past, one could drag that thumbnail straight onto Pages, but this functionality has not existed now for several years.
