Can I separate the pages of one PDF file into separate files

Is there a quick way to separate the pages of a PDF?
For example, I want to take a 10 page PDF, separate the pages and save them as 10 separate files.
I know I can go through and extract each page, but I need to do this with multiple documents that can be over 100 pages and to extract each page one-by-one would be extremely time consuming.

See Thom Parker's latest http://www.acrobatusers.com/tech_corners/javascript_corner/index.php JavaScript Corner http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2008/04/js_extracting_pages/ Extracting pages from a PDF with Acrobat JavaScript for an example of JavaScript that can extract every 4 pages and place them in an email or new file. This code can easily be modified to extract every page.
Or you can download http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=en&pg=15 AbracadabraTOOLS 2.5 to add new menu options to your copy of Acrobat that include splitting a PDF by x pages.

How can I rearrange the pages in a PDF without changing the assigned paged numbers.

How can I rearrange the pages in a PDF without changing the assigned paged numbers? These correspond to the original document folio numbers.

In theory it would be possible to 'record and play back' the page numbers using a folder-level script, but it's far from trivial. You would have to use the doc.movePage() function - presumably driven by a dialog box - to do the page shuffling so there was a way to track what was being done, then swap the page 'labels' of the two affected pages. That's where it gets messy.
We have functions in the JSAPI which can read and write the page label, but they don't do things in a logical way. The 'getPageLabel()' function simply returns a string, but the 'setPageLabel()' method expects to be told the numbering scheme, prefix, etc. You'd have to parse the string and work out what scheme it was implementing.

How can I put the report generated by a program into a File?

Hi all,
   How can I put the report generated by a program into a File?It can be in TXT format or excel format which ever is possible.
I need to export this file to memory,How can I do that??
Regards,
Shashank.

Hello Shashank,
Please ignore my previous answer... Ofcourse it works...
There are several ways to do this...
two of them are
1. List -> Save -> File and press enter..
    it will ask for the format, then path where to save it. Just give the path.
2. Using function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.
I'm giving the example bellow which explains the usage of both GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
To do this... you need to have folder with name 'TEST' and a .txt file in it with name 'test'. And contents of it are :
TEST1             ,BOT
TEST2             ,BOT
TEST3             ,BUT
with spaces.
REPORT zssr_bdc .
DATA: BEGIN OF g_t_itab OCCURS 0,
        matnr LIKE mara-matnr,
        maktx LIKE makt-maktx,
      END OF g_t_itab.
DATA: g_t_bdcdata TYPE TABLE OF bdcdata.
DATA: path TYPE string,
      path1 type string.
path = 'C:\Documents and Settings\ssr3kor\Desktop\TEST\test.txt'.
path1 = 'C:\Documents and Settings\ssr3kor\Desktop\TEST\test1.txt'.
*contents of test.txt    *
*TEST1             ,BOT *
*TEST2             ,BOT *
*TEST3             ,BUT *
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    filename = path
TABLES
    data_tab                      = g_t_itab.
LOOP AT g_t_itab.
WRITE:/1(18) g_t_itab-matnr, 20(40) g_t_itab-maktx.
ENDLOOP.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
   filename = path1
   filetype                      = 'ASC'
TABLES
    data_tab                      = g_t_itab.
Now you will get one .txt file with name 'TEST1.TXT' in the TEST folder.

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

How Can I extract pages from a PDF document into a separate document by clicking a link?

Hi,
I have created a large PDF document with several pages, I have a link symbol on the contents page of the document that relates to several services on different pages within the document. Currently they are identified by having the same link symbol on every page that relates to that particular service. I was wondering if there was any way in which I can create a interactive pdf, when I click the initial symbol link on the contents, it collates all the relevant linked service pages into a single document or guides the viewer to all the pages without having to create a separate pdf document for each service?
Many thanks
Yunus

Simple answer - no. PDF files cannot reassemble themselves into new documents, nor can you hide pages.

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

I think there may be more to this question than you say.
If your PDF page is say, 8 x 12 inches, and you found a way to scale it to 25%, changing it to 2 x 3 inch, shrinking everything on the page to quarter size - wouldn't it look exactly the same on the iPhone? It's just going to be the same as zooming.
Or were you hoping for something more like in Word, where changing the page size keeps everything the same size and spreads it over more pages? That isn't something you can do.

In my Acrobat 8 Pro, Insert Pages is under the Document menu but anyway...
In Acrobat X, click on the Tools pane(upper right side) then navigate to Pages- the Insert Pages commands are located there.
Hope this helps,

When moving a page from one pdf to another I see a message "consolidating fonts" and the added page does not view properly

I am working with multiple PDF files in Acrobat Pro XI. Sometimes when I move a page from one PDF to another it does not view properly. It was fine in the source PDF, but not when moved to the desired PDF. I also see a message momentarily across the bottom of my screen that says "consolidating fonts". What must I do to fix this?

Lloyd ,
Follow these steps for Acrobat 11 .
Launch Acrobat>Tools>Print Production>Acrobat Distiller
Now in Acrobat Distiller follow these.
Select Standard in Default settings.
Go to Settings and select Edit Adobe PDF Settings.
Select Fonts and in the font source window select the fonts you want to Add.
Click Save As and then OK.
See if this helps.

I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, columns and tabs make many merged cells and many blank columns. In addition to not separate the columns correctly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I'm even thinking that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has limitations. There is no way to define what points in columns to force break column? Nor create many columns that are useless? How does text to column in Excel, fixed size when we import text, and define where the breaks have columns?

PDF does not contain columns, rows, formats, styles, or other aspects of word processing or spreadsheet file formats.
This is because PDF is decidedly not a word processing or spreadsheet file format or something "like" one of those.
(see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")
What can optimize the export of PDF page content is to start with a well-formed tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant).
Without that export is what it is and one performs whatever content cleanup is needed using the native application for the export file (MS Word or Excel).
Be well...

How can I scan multiple pages to one file with MG 7120

My printer does not have ADF. How can I scan multiple pages to one file on my MG 7120?

Hi albabynyr,
There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning multiple pages into a single file. To scan using the IJ Scan Utility, please follow these steps:
1. Start IJ Scan Utility by going to your Start menu, then selecting All Programs, then Canon Utilities, then IJ Scan Utility (folder), then IJ Scan Utility (program).
2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
3. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window.
4. In the right pane of the window, locate the SELECT SOURCE field and select the DOCUMENT option.
5. Set the color mode, document size, and scanning resolution as required in the rest of the fields shown in the window. Click DOCUMENT SCAN ORIENTATION SETTINGS... to specify the orientation of the documents to be scanned.
6. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the DOCUMENTS folder.
7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. After a page has scanned, the screen to continue or end scanning appears. If you have more pages to scan, place the next page on the platen and click Scan. Do this each time a page has completed scanning. After the last page has been scanned, click Exit. Scanned images are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed during scanning.
Hope this helps!

How do I separate the pages in a two-page spread?

I am using an InDesign document I created a couple of years ago as a template to build a similar 50 page 11x17 (8.5x11 folded) document.
While I like working with the two-page spread on my big display, I don't have a printer that prints 11x17, so I want to be able to separate the pages from each other once in awhile to print it out, but need to know that I can easily return it to the spread state, both for while I continue to work on the doc and for the printer I'll be turning this over to upon completion.
I'm guessing there's a really easy way to do this, but I haven't been able to find it.
Thank you.

Some clarification needed:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
While I like working with the two-page spread on my big display, I don't have a printer that prints 11x17, so I want to be able to separate the pages ...
This actually suggests that you do NOT have a double-page spread (which in InDesign consists of two separate pages, which only happen to be viewed side by side) but instead have a single large double-sized page, on which you are drawing the contents of two pages.
If so, that's a huge problem because you created your document the wrong way ... And it's not easily fixed either.
If not, then it would seem you are printing full spreads by default -- it's a checkbox in the print dialog. Simply uncheck it, and you can print one page at a time.

How do you drag pages from one PDF to replace pages in another?

In Acrobat Pro CS2 for Macintosh you could drag one or more pages from one PDF, and choose whether to insert them into another PDF, or replace pages in the other PDF.
To insert them you dropped the dragged pages between two pages in the Pages panel.
To replace pages in the other PDF you dropped the dragged pages onto a page in the Pages panel.
I recently upgraded to Acrobat CS5, and this no longer seems to work. All you can do is insert.
Of course I can then delete the pages I wanted to replace, but it's now much less convenient, and there's more opportunity for error.
Am I missing something, or has this feature really been removed between CS2 and CS5?

You still can but you have to press command + option when you cursor is hovering over the page you want to replace. A blue border will appear around the page.
So select the new page you are bringing in, drag it over to your main document, keeping the mouse pressed down. Hover over the page you want to replace and press command + option. A blue box will appear around the page. Let go of the mouse and you will get your confirmation message. Press OK, and you are good to go.

Re: How do I copy a page from one pdf document to another?

If you open both documents, you can drag a page from the Pages panel (on the left of the window) of one document and drop it into the Pages panel of another.
You can also extract one or more pages from a document to create a new document, and then insert the pages from this new document into another. In Acrobat 11 you 'd do this by doing:
Tools > Pages > Extract
and then:
Tools > Pages > Insert from File
