placing pdf in InDesign
(OP)
I'm designing a magazine for the first time. I have bunch of ads in pdf files. I need to drop the pdf files into indesign. Do I drag and drop? Place? Or do I need to do something to the pdf files first? Once it's in there, can I save the indesign file into pdf for the printer?

Are the PDF the right resolution ? because if you want to print (or press), the PDF files should have the right resolution.
How are the PDF files generated? i had problems with pdf files that came out MS-word (i didn't know that they were made in MS-word, at the moment i imported :| them)
Bad in will get a bad out..
At the Place function you can set the import options. (show import options)
You can always check if the output is correct in Acrobat Pro.
Hope this helps a bit...

If the PDF-files are according to your instructions then there is nothing to do, i guess.
Indesign will handle the PDF-files just as it where other graphics.

When you have the magazine laid out go to File>Export and choose PDF. And select the right settings, you can ask your printer for PDF settings to use.
