Convert 6 page pdf to dynamic layout

Hello,
I am trying to create a dynamic pdf that shows/hides various sections and grows as needed depending upon what is selected. I started with a 6 page pdf that I created from the html webpage that we are currently using to do this with javascript.
So I am setting up my subforms and using the Action Builder to set the presence of the subforms and everything is working great until I get to the bottom of the page and the last subform is not carrying over to page 2 and is just cutting off in the middle. I've tried looking at various pagination options, and I am just not sure what to do. So I looked in the Help more and it talks about how dynamic pdfs don't really have pages until they are fully processed, so I am not sure how to get my fields out of the current 6 page layout. I am very new to Designer so I would appreciate if you have any advice for me on how to get this working.
Thank you!
Mindy

Hi Mindy,
It should like the page type is set to Positioned in the Object > Subform palette. To get the content to overflow onto a new page, you need to set the page type to Flowed.
When you change the type to flowed, the page contents will become left aligned and stacked one object on top of another. This may mess up your layout. So if you undo this and then start to group objects that do not grow into positioned subforms. This will help you maintain the overall layout.
This example form looks at the difference between positioned and flowed content. If you scale the images up you will see that the positioned content will cut off the image and will not flow onto a new page.
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/category/portfolio/explore-the-differences-between -positioned-and-flowed/
I have a sample here that examines the steps to setting up a dynamic form:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/category/portfolio/building-dynamic-tables/
In addition the form needs to be saved as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialog.
Hope that helps,

Acrobat 8.1.2 right-click web page, convert to pdf error

I can't convert web pages to pdf using IE 7 and Adobe 8.1.2.
Vista, IE 7, Adobe CS3, Acrobat 8.1.2 gives the following error converting any web page:
"Acrobat had an error converting to pdf."
Help?

[Html to PDF problem / IE 7 and Acrobat 8x convert webpage to pdf]
What is the deal? does anyone from tech support know about this issue?
Not only that, i also have the CS3 Web Premium package and when i go to unistall components--Acrobat doesn't even show up. Not in Programs/Features for unistall under Vista--what gives?
i also run Revo Uninstaller and it doesn't see it either. i found on NemesisV Blog a 3-4pg manual unistall that takes me deep into the registry, i can't believe it--i'm so pissed.

I have a 2 page PDF (portrait format), how can I convert the format to landscape?

I have a 2 page (portaait format) PDF file how can I convert the PDF file into landscape format before I change it to XL?

Hi jsremick,
To change the page orientation of a PDF, you need to use Acrobat. (Reader allows you to rotate the page view, but not the pages themselves).
If you don't have Acrobat, feel free to give it a try. You can download the free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,
Sara

How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
Open second document and go to page
Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
Page: 43
Zoom level: Custom
I got close but did not solve the problem:
I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
Windows XP SP3
Word 2003 SP3
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
Or just to view them:
Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
(note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)

No. There seems to be no automated way to do it. You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do. We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

Convert multiple page pdf to multiple jpg

Hi, is there anyway of converting a multiple page pdf file in preview to multiple jpgs in one go? I've tried selecting all, but it still only converts one page into a jpg, when using the "save as" function. I'm currently having to convert each page in the file individually, which is rather time-consuming. If preview can't do it, is there any other software (preferably not too expensive) that can?
Many thanks for your help in advance

juleshorst,
Ok Here is the best way I could find to take a PDF and make each page its own jepg image.
1. Open (Automator) on the window that opens it asks for a starting point I would Select (Files & Folders) the big Finder image. For the settings on it I would select (my mac) and (Ask For Files & Folders when my workflow runs) from the drop down menus, that way you can save it and reuse it latter.
2. I would drag the (PDF to images) automation under the (Ask for Finder Items) automation. To find said (PDF to images) you can either search for it or it can be found in the PDF section on the left.
3. After which I would drag the (Change Type of Images) automation under the (PDF to images) automation, I would say Don't add to the (This action will change the image type ...... ect ect.....), and I would select (To Type (jpeg)) from the drop down menu. To find said (Change Type of Images) once again you can search in the search box or you can find it in the Photos section on the left.
4. Run Automation, the button is located in the top right. Select the PDF you want to turn into jpeg pages and there you go.
I hope that this helped with your issue.

Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
with the same results, which are...
Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
Any advice on
a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
that might convert more accurately?
many thanks

Thank you Roger!
I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!

34,000 page excel file needs to be converted to pdf

I have a 34,000 page excel file that I need to convert to pdf. The excel file is 13mb. I'm using excel 2013 on Win 7.
Within excel, I have tried Save As pdf. It has never finished. I've let it run all day and night, but it gets to about 90% and hangs.
Last night, I tried converting it within Adobe (let it run all night), and found that it had crashed some time over night.
I really want this to be one pdf since it's one excel file and it would be simpler for traceability and audit purposes.
My questions are:
1. Is there a maximum file size or page limit to conversions?
2. Any suggestions on how to convert this into one pdf file?
Thank you!!

That's a large file. PDFs can have many more pages than that though, so it's not due to a limitation of PDF. As a test, are you able to select fewer pages to convert to see how it goes?

Convert multiple page pdf into multiple page jpeg

This question was posed several years ago but not answered completely.
I have a 7MB three page PDF document ( a scan ) that I'd like to reduce in size so that I might attach it to an email it easily.
I've tried to "reduce file size" in Preview app's PDF export settings but that renders the document unreadable and useless.
I've tried to Preview export to jpeg but only one page at a time gets exported. This is not acceptable. I want a single three page document.
Otherwise I have to wait 10 minutes for the pdf to attach to my email and God only knows what the recipient thinks when they see "7MB attached document".
BTW I've also tried adding the pdfs to a Word document but that introduced a mismatched document sizing anomaly. WHAT THE HECK!!!! Why can't this be easier???

Anybody know if it's possible to convert a multiple page PDF into ONE TIFF file in Acrobat Pro?
No.

How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF to Word export.
There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.

Dynamic Layout on Edit Customer page

Hi, I need to customize Edit Customer page so that when the value of Line Of Business is "A", some fields should hide and some others should show, and when the value of Line Of Business is "B", those hidden fields should appear and some fields should hide.
I've seen some documentation about customization, but I couldn't do what I need so far. The documents always say to use the Oracle Composer (Administration > Customize Customers Page), then click on "Select" on the left-upper corner, then click on the desired component and "Edit Component". There, I should be able to write some groovy expression on Expression Builder to indicate whether to hide or show the component, based on another field's value.
My problem is that the options in the menu is always inaccessible! I have a print, but I don't know if I can attach it here neiter how to attach it....
Does anybody have any idea of how to accomplish this? Is there any other way to do this type of customization?
Any help would be appreciated...

In Rel8, app composer introduces dynamic layout. This feature allows an object to have many create and detail layouts.
These layouts can be dynamically shown based on role, record type, or advanced expressions. Record type and Advanced Expression run against the record.
Think of it as the state of the record i.e. Record Type = 'Hot' Show Layout 1, Record Type = 'Cold' Show Layout
