Can a PDF be "embedded" into another PDF, and still be its own layer?

HI. I work with a software company that manipulate PDFs files, placing PDFs into other PDFs resulting in a combined file.
what my question is, is the finished combined PDF file simply 1 big PDFs full of individual elements, or are the elements still relating to their own virtual pdf within the combined PDFs?
MY feeling is the combined PDFs is simply a big fish tank full of fish, and if another fish tank was to be emptied into it, it all merges into one. At least that is the way I see it. all fish a simply a part of the overall fish tank!
i Ask this as "a colleague" is telling clients otherwise and I would like to correct him.
oh, we use itext as the tool to manipulate pdfs.
cheers

Thanks for the reply. I understand my wording was misleading.
What we are doing is taking a single page base PDF file, containing 10 elements for example, and using our own software (with help from iText) adding other page elements on the same page. Most of the time these elements are just text, or the odd image, but sometimes, we may be placing a PDF Logo on the same page. The resulting PDF seems to be a single page, containing 10+ elements of equal hierarchy, with no reference to the source PDF file that was used for the logo. Also looking at the Layers panel, There is no information here.
Are you saying then that there may be references to some of the elements based on the source PDF file?
Cheers

I am wondering what upgrades I need in order to convert PDFs into another format and compress the size of a PDF (if this is possible)?

I want to be able to convert PDFs into another format and I know this can be achieved with a small upgrade. However I am also looking for the ability to compress the size of PDFs, if this is at all possible.

You can use Acrobat Standard for this.

Import the videos into iTunes on your computer and use Home Sharing to stream the videos to the iPad. These should get you started.

Can you plug a ipad into a monitor and keyboard?

I don't know anything about ipad's.
Can you plug a ipad into a monitor and keyboard?

As Rudegar pointed out, the AV cable is an adequate option. But another option is to purchase an Apple TV. That's the only way to use Airplay from an iOS device (for now). I'm pretty sure no OEM TV's support Apple's Airplay technology as of yet. Apple wants you to purchase the Apple TV so don't hold out hope that they'll license the tech to TV manufacturers any time soon.
Check out Apple's demo of Airplay on their website and see if that's an option you might like. The AV cable is cheaper but IMO a cable of any kind is a cumbersome work around. And the Apple TV allows you to also play music and look at your pictures from any iOS device as well.
Re: your other question: "Can I see my iPad on the TV in general when hooked up?". The answer is, "Not yet". Only the "output" (IE: music, video, slideshows) can be seen through Airplay or the AV cable. You can't use the TV as a second monitor for your iOS device.
Lastly, you can't "break" your device simply by trying to hook it up to your TV. I had the same issue with my father this holiday with trying to convince him he couldn't break his camera by trying to hook it directly up via the USB connector on the TV.

I plugged my phone into another computer and seem to lost all my data. How do I undo it?

I plugged my iPhone into another computer and it looks like I lost all my data. How do I undo this? I tried plugging it back into my default computer and it makes me register the phone. I don't want to lose all my data.

That's certainly odd... the activation being lost could have been a carrier issue or iOS software issue...
Was the phone already working and activated prior to this issue?
You may be stuck with having to restore...
By default iTunes or iCloud (whichever you have designated) will back up your content and settings... Content wise remember it's still always in iTunes even if you remove it from the phone...
If a back up was performed prior to you have this issue (either by iTunes or iCloud) then performing the restore will take a bit but wont cause you to loose anything as after the restore is completed iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a back up or set up as a new device... choose the restore from back up option and choose the most recent back up listed and it will then restore all your settings and content...
Keep in mind this will only be ture IF a back up has recently been saved in iTunes or iCloud...
In iTunes it's easy to tell... open iTunes and go to prefferences... go to the devices tab and it will tell you the device and last date/time of last back up...
Unfortunately I'm not aware of how to check to when the last iCloud backup was performed UNLESS you happen to have another iOS device already... another iPhone or iPad for example...
If you do, then on that other iOS device... goto Settings > General > Manage Storage (under the iCloud section) and it will show you any iCloud back ups youve done with any devices

Can i transfer my backup to another computer and then restore my backup

can i transfer my backup to another computer and then restore my backup

Yes. However, the backup file does not necessarily contain everything on your device (music, some purchases, some photos) so you want to make sure all items are backed up and transferred for safekeeping first.

Hey there MissVs,
It sounds like you are clicking your device in iTunes but it is disappearing and preventing you from backing up your decive. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help troubleshoot the issue named:

You can also backup your iPhone from the File menu:
Make sure your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Choose File > Devices > Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Backup Now.

Can i conect a extreme via the rj45 and still extend my wireless to another main extreme acting as the router?

Can I connect a extreme using the rj45 and still extend my wireless to another time capsule working as the router?

Yes, that should be possible. I am assuming that you have the first AirPort connected to the Internet modem or another router by Ethernet and you want to extend it with another AirPort.

I have 2 Ipads (ipad2 and Ipad3) and 2 Iphones (4 and 4s) all under 1 account in itunes. How would I split these into 2 accounts and still be able to share itunes music?

I have 2 Ipads (Ipad2 and Ipad3) and 2 Iphones (4 and 4S) that are currently sharing 1 username for itunes. How can I split 1 ipad and 1 iphone to another username and still use my music library in itunes?

Sign out of the iTunes, store, iMessage, and iCloud on the devices, then sign in with the account you want.
This simply changes the account the device is pulling content from.
Content can not be moved from one account to another. Content is permanently tied to the account it was acquired with.
What are you really trying to accomplish?

How get the RVS4000's DHCP server to assign another IP address other than its own as the default gateway to its DHCP clients?

Hi,
I have a RVS4000 router with DHCP enabled and in router mode.
The LAN is 192.168.2.x. The RVS4000 static IP address is 192.168.2.8
The router is not the RVS4000 and is at 192.168.2.1
The RVS4000 dhcp is assigning it's clients a default gateway of 192.168.2.8 instead of what I want 192.168.2.1.
How can I get the RVS4000's DHCP server to assign another IP address other than its own as the default gateway to its DHCP clients?
Thanks

Hi Gail, you cannot do this. The router, as the DHCP server will only assign a default gateway of what IP interface the DHCP server runs on. If you have the default IP, the gateway is 192.168.1.1. If you create a second vlan, by default it would be 192.168.2.1.
There are not configuration options for the built-in DHCP server. If you'd like to expand this functionality, you would need an external dhcp server.

HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. How do I do this?

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?

You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album,how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep photo in album

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?

You can't. It doesn't work that way.
the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums
