Import MultiPage PDF

All:
Is there a way to tell how many pages are in a multi-page PDF prior to or immediately after importing with the ProcessImportAndLoadPlaceGun?
thanks,
Liz

You can't do it all at one time, but, yes, it can be done. Open the PDF in Preview & show the sidebar. Click on the page you want & choose Copy from the Edit menu. Now go to your Pages document & paste, in the document, not the thumbnails drawer. Repeat.

  • Import multipage pdf in an Illustrator document

    Hello,
    Does a script exist to import multipages pdf document in an illustrator document ?
    I usually use InDesign to import multipage document with the script named "pdf import".
    The goal of the manipulation is to outline fonts, or resize the different boxes (Trim box for exemple).
    An other question : can we import a ".jsx" file made for InDesign into Illustrator ?
    Thank you for your help.

    Illustrator has a PDF open options object with allows for sizes height, width, boxes i.e. media art crop and page to open.
    I have so far NOT tried scripting this but should NOT think its too much of a problem with the exception of knowing how
    many time you need to loop to get all the pages in the PDF. The scripting guides contain a basic example too.

  • Import MultiPage PDF nested equally on single page

    Hello,
    I have had a scout around on the net but cannot find anything so far on the subject topic and I wondered if anyone here knows of its existence.
    I need a script that will allow me to import a multipage PDF into one large page. I need each import to be equally spaced on the page so the individual pages are laid out in a grid format. (I am creating print and cut files for double sided prints with bespoke cutting)
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Matt

    If i had a pile of pdf's to place on a page i would...
    Layout a template with place holder rectangles on the page where you want the pdfs to be locking them in possition, Assign these rectangles an image content so that when you have your cursor loaded with the pdf you option click and the pdfs get placed into the rectangles.

  • Importing multipage PDF into multi artboard AI doc

    Hi folks,
    The only way I've been able to get a multi-page PDF (with editable vector paths) into AI is to place each PDF page into an AI file with multiple artboards, one at a time. Am I missing something? Is there a more efficient workflow for this? We have to do this with about 90 PDFs, so efficiency is valued.
    Thanks,
    Toni

  • Multipage PDF imported at 100% - can I resize all doc pages to auto snap to the PDF size?

    Hi all,
    I've got a popular multipage PDF import script that I can run and import PDF'S into indesign. I use this to import every page at 100%, usually these are A1 in size but they do differ - Is there a way to adapt it to automatically change all document page sizes to match the imported pdf size?
    Most of these PDF import scripts have options to fit the pdf's to the page, I need the other way around - to look at the size of the pdf page being imported and set the doc size so the PDF fits on it!
    Any ideas?
    Even if anyone has a script to resize a one page document to fit a placed graphic frame within it - that would be extremely helpful!
    Thanks

  • How can I import multiple PDF pages into ID?

    I am putting together a catalog which consists of over 400 pages. We had the products on our website exported into a PDF format and I need to add a header and footer to each page via a master page in ID. I don't need to edit the actual PDF but I need to create a layer on top of what was exported. How can I import the 400 pages to be independent of each other without manually placing them?

    Depending upon what you want in the header or footer, you do it in
    Acrobat...Document>Header and Footer>Add.
    There's a multipage PDF place script that ships with ID...open the
    scripts panel and it should be there.

  • Why can't I import a PDF into Flash?

    I already submitted a feature request on this, so you don't need to tell me to do that.
    Does anyone know of a logical reason why Flash can't import a specific page of PDFs like Photoshop and Illustrator can?
    Thanks!

    Hey, thanks for that tip. It does work, however what it does is it converts it to a bitmap. It's not live vectors and text. Also, it will only give you the first page of a multipage PDF. Illustrator and Photoshop give you a dialog asking which page you want.
    So right now, I open in Illustrator and then copy and paste into Flash. Flash has an Illustrator importer with options for the vector and text. It seems like a simple thing to support PDF natively.
    The method I have to use takes more time because I have to manually create a back page image and when I paste I have to move it into the right place, etc.
    Thanks!

  • Creating a multipage PDF that prints 2 booklets side by side?

    Hi I am a designer with NO pre-press experience and I need some help!
    I am trying to print a booklet that is set at 8.5 x 7 as a 2 up document on 8.5 x14 paper. My problem is that I don't want the booklets to print consecutive pages (right now they would print 1,2 3,4 5,6 etc.) I want them to print side by side so that when the sheets are cut we would have 2 completed and collated books.
    I know that I could just duplicate each page and print that, but I am wondering if there is a quicker way to make this happen? We have over 100 different multipage PDFs to print so I'm looking for a lean way to get this done.
    Is this possible? Do I need to purchase pagination software?

    When I need to do this I generally make a file set up as a single page (8.5 x 7, in this case) for easy design, then create a second, non-facing doc at two-up size (8.5 x 14) and place the pages from the first file int the second tow times so I have two copies per page. I use the Multi-page importer script for this: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files

  • Multipage PDF and Smart Object

    I'm using Photoshop CS5, and I regularly need to import a multipage PDF into a PSD for processing.  I've setup multiple smart objects in the PSD, each imports a different page of the PDF.  But I've realise that everytime Photoshop imports a multipage PDF, it imports and saves the entire PDF, rather than just the page imported.  This is extremely wasteful for both disk space and processing power/time, especially since the files I work with are all rather large.
    So, is there a way to make Photoshop handle this smartly, and make use of multiple PDF pages in one import operation?

    I do three things in Photoshop:
    1. add background
    2. apply a glow around the imported vector graphics to enhance visibility
    3. apply an texture overlaying the whole thing
    And I forgot to mention before that, in addition to printing, I also need to save the final images into individual JPGs or PNGs for digital preview.
    1. I can do in Illustrator, but I've found that adding any raster content in the AI significantly increases the file size and slows all operations.  So I'm trying to avoid doing this.
    2. and 3. can also be done in Illustrator, but I've found the results to look much better in Photoshop.  Not sure why, it just does...
    But even if I do all of these in Illustrator, it does not solve the problem of extremely long operation time, since I will still need to eventually export the artboards into separate files.  Illustrator does the same thing as Photoshop when exporting: it rasterizes the entire file and then cut them down to each artboard, which, again causes the operation time to grow exponentially as artboard increases.
    EDIT:
    I have also tried exporting the rasterized image as one single image, and then slice them up in Photoshop.  Unfortunately, the AI file is so big that Illustrator cannot export them as one rasterized image.
    I also prefer to minimize batch operations in Illustrator.  A long batch operation in Illy will prevent me from doing anything for tens of minutes, whereas I can continue to work on different things in Illustrator while Photoshop is running a batch operation.

  • In LIVECYCLE DESIGNER how do I code a submit button to only submit one page of a multipage PDF

    I have a multipage PDF I've designed in Livecycle and have print and submit buttons on each unique form in the document. I am able to create code (which I've copied from someplace) that allows only one page to print but when I click the submit button it wants to submit the entire document.  PS - I created the Submit from the blank button and have it set to submit PDF not XML.

    I don't think you can submit just a page of your PDF like you printed just a page. The difference is that when you print, the PDF becomes dots on paper, while when you submit a PDF it must remain completely intact to be machine readable, especially since the forms on a LiveCycle (XFA) document can have complex dependencies between pages.

  • I have imported a PDF form (created in adobe acrobat XI pro) into FormsCentral.  I now want to convert this document into a web form so I can embed it into my website.  HOW DO I DO THIS?

    I took a word document I had created and added fields to it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I then imported the PDF in Forms Central and now I am stuck.  All I am able to do with it in FormsCentral is add a submit button.  It will not allow me to edit the document in FormsCentral.  What I ultimately need to do is get this converted to a web form so that I can embed it into our company website.  Additionally, once it's converted, I need to add an option for the user to attach their resume with the file before submitting.  I have looked all over the web and I cannot find an answer as to whether or not I can convert PDFs to web forms in FormsCentral.  This will ultimately determine whether or not the company decides to purchase these programs after the trial version has ended in a few days.

    I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables.  The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows.  Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?
