I'm placing a PDF file of an entire single page, and it's placing the content inside the PDF but without any apparent awareness of the position on the page: x and y are not the coordinates of the upper left hand corner of the PDF file itself, but are the upper left hand corner of the content contained in the PDF. I want to essentially copy exactly the PDF page, which is 8.5 x 11.

Does InDesign provide a way to place content so as to duplicate such a PDF, or does Acrobat allow a way to script the addition of a transparent bounding rectangle?
