IDCS2 - Print/save seperate pdf files per page (with custom filenames)

Hi everyone,
I'm having this issue here. I've created a new document after data merging, this document has 50 pages, every page contains an amount, a code and an image. Now i need to have 50 seperate pdf files, so 1 pdf per page, from this with a file name that goes like this: "ammount_code.pdf"
Is this possible, if yes, can you explain like I was a 3-year-old kid please? :-)
Thanks in advance!!

I don't think there is any nice, automatic way to do this out of the box. It might be scriptable, though, since you could probably pull the amount code for each page that way, but you'd need to ask over in the scripting forum for the fastest response.
In the meantime, someone asked a similar question last week, and I pointed him to a paid plugin, and you can also export the document to PDF, then use Acrobat Pro to extract the pages to separate files, but at that point I think you'd need to manually rename them to get your codes as the filenames.

Can I save a PDF file to Pages and then work on it?

No. Pages does not edit PDF. Just does PDF an output.

Web page Print Save as PDF--only first page formatted correctly

Hello,
Whenever I try to save a web page as a PDF file, the first page formats nicely, but the subsequent pages print with bigger font and the text runs off the right-side edge of the page. If I print just page 2, then page 2 prints nicely. I can later use Acrobat Pro to stitch the PDF together page by page, but that is a pain. I have played around with various page set up settings to no avail. I'm using Firefox 18.0.1 and Mac OS 10.8.2.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

The PDF add-on that seems to work is PDF Download 3.0.0.1 from Apple's website. It seems to process webpages via a website to PDF. A sample webpage is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clandestine_HUMINT. However, I've run into the same problem on others that seem to create long (many page) PDF files. I also tried it with CUPS-PDF 2.4.6 with the same problem. I believe the CUPS-PDF application uses the same CUPS standard built into OSX?
Anyway, please bear with me. I am not kidding about being fairly new to this whole Mac thing. How do I find the crash log?
Is it this (from the CUPS error log)?

MS Word 2004 print/save as pdf - mysterious blank page

Hi,
I'm using Microsoft Word 2004 with OS 10.4.6. When I use the Save as pdf feature under the Print dialog, I keep getting blank pages in the pdf that don't appear in the Word Doc itself.
The Word document contains 30 pages. The first page is a jpeg graphic. I managed to get it to print fine the other day, but after my wife fixed a few spelling errors, I got a blank page as the second page in the pdf. Strangely enough, there is no blank page there in Word. I turned on invisible characters in Word and couldn't find any stray characters. The first page is a jpeg graphic that takes up 75% of the page.
All of the pages are formatted the same, portrait 8 1/2 x 11 with standard margins. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Michael
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) MS Word 2004 for Mac

Hi,
I tried pulling out the margins all the way the the edge, but I'm still experiencing the problem. I also tried reducing the image size significantly with no success. Any suggestions?
I also tried deleting the image. With the image gone, the extra page goes, too. The page with the section break is still there but mysterious page #2 is gone. When I import the image again, though, I re-create the problem.
I just realized I didn't try the 'Use Printer metrics to layout document' that Paul suggested and might look into that.
Any other suggestions? I hesitate to do it because the document is somewhat elabourate, but I might try rebuilding the first few pages in a new document to see if I add the image first and then add the text if it will solve the problem.
One other question. When I reveal invisible formatting, it does show two paragraph marks in the footer. This is the same for all footers on every page in the entire document. Could that be causing the problem? If so, do you know if it is possible to delete only the footer on the first page?
One other clue: I used to have a graphic on the back page and now that I think of it, there was a blank page after it, too. It sure sounds like your tiling description...
Thanks again for your help.

Print or Save as PDF a SharePoint Page with Reports

HI,
I have a SharePoint Page (.aspx) on which I have few tables and a chart web part within a web part zone.
I want to generate a PDF with all the data from tables with formatting and with generated report in chart web part.
We have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition and using browser Internet Explorer 8.
Is there any way that we can achieve this using Client Side Scripting like JavaScript, ECMAScript as we don't have an control over server.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I can't offer any help with developing a solution with client-side code, but how about using a PDF printer like CutePDF Writer (disclosure: I have no relation to the makers of this
product, it's simply an application I have used for a number of years to my satisfaction and there are many other products that will do the same thing).
Print the page and select the PDF printer and select an output PDF file. This can work if you have administrative control on the machines that are generating the reports.

Firefox crashes when printing (save as .pdf) certain web pages

Sometimes, the problem can be overcome by selecting "Preview" from the print dialog box, which composes the page in Preview, from which the file can be saved as .pdf. My solution to this problem is to quit using Firefox and go back to Safari.

Go to the address '''about:crashes''' and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.

Printing "save as pdf postscript" yields problem with paper size

when I "save as pdf postscript" my 8.5 by 8.5 pages doc, it shrinks and ends up right justified in the PDFX1A 2001 version...this only happens with this particular file--all I can think is that I used a lot of text wrapping around graphs and that messed it up, please help!

nevermind! I figured out the problem--I needed to click on "view" and check "hide comments", which were being included in the PDF, making it smalled on the left side of the page
thanks anyway AppleFolks

Print- Save as PDF from Java applet on a webpage in Safari

I am on a Mac running OS X version 10.8.5 and Safari version 6.1.2. I am using the website www.wordle.net, which uses a Java applet to create a Wordle. The applet has a print button. The website FAQ says I should be able to save a Wordle as a PDF on a Mac. When I try to do this I get a small dialog that simply says "Error whilte printing."

Help! I want to make Wordles for the teachers at my kids school for Teacher Appreciation Week.

YES!!!!!!!
I was pulling my hair out last night over this. I noticed the Find function was not working properly. I KNEW there was something in the PDF and Preview was not showing it. I spent 2 hours trying to find someone with a similar Find function problem, but could not find much. Also, it could not copy and paste text. I KNOW it worked before because I had taken notes on this particular PDF and had copy and pasted whole paragraphs for myself into Pages. Which is what got me searching online tonight.
I re-downloaded the same PDF. When first opened in Preview, the Find and copy/paste functions worked. Same thing in Acrobat reader and Acrobat Pro. After confirming this, I re-opened it in Preview, highlighted some text and closed. It asked to Save Changes and I did. I immediately re-opened it, and guess what? Find no longer works and neither does copy/paste. Just to be sure, I tried re-opening in Acrobat reader and Pro; same thing. No copy/paste, corrupted Find feature. Well, copy/paste sort of functions, its just that it pastes a square with an alien head in it that says "Private Use 100000 Plane 16".
And finally, on some PDFs that have not even been saved in Preview, the Find function is not working properly also. It happened on the re-downloaded PDF I just talked about. It finds many instances of the word, bit the left and right arrows next to "Found on X# Pages are greyed out and do not move through the document. Once I go to the left pane that displays page thumbnails and click on a few different ones, THEN it starts working.
So yes, Apple, Preview is corrupting PDF files upon save, AND it is not working properly on other files. Please fix this. PLEASE.
And my specs are the same as Gary; iMac 27 inch Late 2009, Yosemite 10.10.1. Is ANYONE else having this issue with a different Mac?

Word v.X no longer printing or creating PDF files (specific to one user)

As of yesterday I cannot print from Word (v.X 10.0) documents or create PDF files from Word documents.
I can print by logging out and using a test user ID.
I can print after a safe restart (which disables many functions).
I am still able to print and create PDF files from Pages, Firefox and other programs.
When attempting to create a PDF from a Word file through the Print dialog box, then saving as PDF, I can see the "magnifying glass" image for the PDF briefly on the desktop, then it disappears.
Apple Care Phone Support refuses to deal with Microsoft issues (even though it appears to be a print command failing within Mac OS steps of the process, and/or a Mac OS-generated and sorted plist file corrupting the process).
Microsoft no longer supports the software (i.e., any file you are now using ending in .doc is no longer supported).
Has anyone had a similar problem or an idea about what to do with likely culprit files?

Sounds like a M$ problem to me.
Can you save an Excel file as a PDF?
There are .plist files in user>library>preferences
that control the last used settings in apps.
Quit the office app.
Trash the com.microsoft.word.plist first.

How to split PDF file by pages

Is there any programming way to split PDF into pages, say one PDF file per page or specify page range to split PDF file?
Thanks for your help.

Yes it does. It disassembles pdf1 by extracting pages 1-3 and disassembles pdf2 by extracting pages 4-5. Then re-assembles the two subsets into a new PDF.
You could extract page1 from pdf1 only and create a pdf, then page2 of pdf1 into a different PDF using something similar to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<PDF result="Final.pdf">
     <PDF source="PDF1.pdf" pages="1"/>
</PDF>
<PDF result="Final2.pdf">
      <PDF source="PDF1.pdf" pages="2"/>
</PDF>
</DDX>
You can also use the PDFFromBookmarks tag to generate a new document for each level 1 bookmark created in a PDF.
<PDFsFromBookmarks prefix="stmt">
     <PDF source="doc1.pdf"/>
</PDFsFromBookmarks>

Do I have to save each pdf file before printing?

Do I have to save each pdf file before printing? It won't allow me to print unless I save it first.

Are you viewing in a browser? Which one? What steps are you taking to print and exactly what happens?

Preflight keeps saying "Unable to save the PDF File after post processing"

I'm at a loss how to overcome this. Spent almost a whole day, together with another person, trying to fix it with no success!
I use Adobe pro CC on a PC
I usually receive pdf files from this one client who edits and formats a book in Mac Pages. Up until a few days ago I had no problems converting the client's pdfs into pdf/x3, but the last three versions of the latest file have stumped me.
Just to test, I first just tried to convert the file (33MB), unchanged, to pdf/x3 using the save as other option - message reads "the document has been saved, however, it could not be converted according to the selected standard profile: convert to PDF/X. Please use preflight with the profile "Convert to PDF/X" in order to identify those properties of the document which prevent it from being compliant to this profile"
if I then choose under Profiles - convert to PDF/X3 - it says no problems found, and appears to have saved the file. If I try to save again as a pdf/x3, just to make sure, it then tells me it's not pdf/x3 compliant
OK - so then I go back to preflight - and choose the standards function - then pdf/x3, then continue with the default colour profile. About halfway through the conversion, at the point of saving the file, I get the message "unable to save the pdf file after post processing"
So far I've had no luck figuring out what this is.
I then choose the option of "verify compliance of ppdf/x3" - message reads "pdf/x3 version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing", and "Trapped key not true or false"
Help!! How can I be sure the file converted / or not?

Yes I was/am aware of Preflight's inability to play nicely over cloud technologies in certain cases, especially wrt Standards technologies, this will be partially addressed in an upcoming version of Preflight without saying too much. But the same thing could theoretically have happened if the file was also located on another local network client or server. Leaving aside the argument that this may violate the Acrobat User Agreement - since purchasing the software, the user agrees to employ its functionality on a single host system and precludes host-client-based scenarios - this simply is not a supported use, meaning the user may not have expectations that it will work at all, if the applications requirements are not observed. There do exist server-solutions for Preflight files within networks, but Acrobat and by extension Acrobat Preflight is not one of those solutions, and (still) belongs in the single host-based desktop environment.
However most (99.9%) functions within Acrobat <-> acrobat.com file exchange are supported, file syncing across multiple devices will soon be supported, but Standards compliance is still admittedly a problem at this point. Some testing has been done using 3rd party cloud technologies starting with enterprise-based solutions, such as Office 365, and this will continue to ramp up to include other 3rd party products.
As for the second point, Preflight will usually change the PDF version to be complaint, are you saying that it was unable to do so in this case? It seems that this error should have popped up during the normal Preflight conversion attempt. Personally I think solving a workflow problem using the print path is a little bit of a heavy-handed approach, but if helped and the results are acceptable, then that is good. Since that path is non-existent on a Mac, as one needs to Save as Adobe PDF from the Print dialog's PDF drop-down menu, I am assuming your workflow involved file creation on a Mac, then further processing on Windows using the PDF printer. I am wondering if a simple resave/Save As... to PDF with overwrite on a Mac, or Preflighting the file using a PDF version compatibility profile before the PDF/X conversion would have helped. Since there are such a multitude of methods that a PDF can be created, there are also many ways within Acrobat that a user can shape the file to be compatible with the expected workflow, ie, 'many ways to skin a cat', without being morbid.

Firefox will not 'save as pdf' for whole page, when the page is a large one. How can this be fixed?

My Mac Desktop PPC (2002) is running 10.4.11.
Firefox has no more updates beyond 3.6.24, which is what I'm running here.
I want to save a NY Daily News live update page (large and with photos..) ..which is not 'infinitely large': this one is page 3..
But the resulting pdf is two pages, with a NY Daily New beginning.. and an 'end' on page 2. Nothing in between.
can you help
'Troubleshooting information' is non-applicable here, since Firefox does not even acknowledge this as a category..!

New file per page break

Is there a way to have a Crystal Report export a seperate PDF or other format file per page break in the report?

Hi Bill,
According to my understanding you have a report running into multiple pages and you would like it to have exported on different PDFu2019s.
I have done a quick test and we cannot have a different PDF for each page break in the report. When we export a report that will export the whole report.
I hope this helps you.

Prashant

[locked] Allow users to save the PDF file

I've noticed that by using the form Distribution through either email, Acrobat.com, or a shared folder on the network the user can save the PDF file, correct? Do I understand this correctly? One other thing, what if I don't want to email out but just want the PDF form to be available on my website, will the user still be able to save a copy of the filled form for themselves to print or do whatever they want?

Okay, is this the paragraph?
15.12.3 For any unique Extended Document, you may only
either (a) Deploy such Extended Document to an unlimited number of unique
recipients but shall not extract information from more than five hundred (500)
unique instances of such Extended Document or any hardcopy representation of
such Extended Document containing filled form fields; or (b) Deploy such
Extended Document to no more than five hundred (500) unique recipients without
limits on the number of times you may extract information from such Extended
Document returned to you filled-in by such Recipients. Notwithstanding anything
therein to the contrary, obtaining additional licenses to use Acrobat Pro or
Acrobat Pro Extended shall not increase the foregoing limits (that is, the
foregoing limits are the aggregate total limits regardless of how many
additional licenses to use Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended you may have
obtained).
I'm not trying to break any laws but just curious as how Adobe would track that information. In any case, I'm not trying to capture/extract any information from the PDF form. Mainly what I'm trying to do or like to do is just allow the user to save the form. I don't want to capture or extract any information from the PDF form. My form is about three to four pages long and all I'm trying to do is allow the user to save the form that they partially filled and allow them to save the form so they can come back whenever they want to and finish filling up the form and that's it. I'm not looking for any data coming back to me. The user is required to print the form so their is no electronic information coming back. Is this still violate Adobe's limitation above?
