Importing pdf question
I have a number of pdf files - newspaper articles, mostly. I want to import them with a duration of 10 seconds.
I know that there is a preference for image files to have a default duration, and I have mine set for 10 seconds, but FCP doesn't seem to apply that preference to pdf files. Instead, they are imported with various durations, some as short as 2 frames. Some seem to be imported at 10 seconds. I can't figure out what the difference is among these files.
I am importing them through the Import->Files... dialog.
Save the individual pages out of Preview or Acrobat and import them as separate items. You are probably hitting bookmarks or weird PDF inclusions.

Can I edit, in Adobe Acrobat, a form I created in Acrobat and imported to Forms Central? I need to add copy and I don't want to lose the responses I've already gotten.
Hi Karen;
You can edit the PDF without breaking the submit process or losing existing responses as long as you do not modify the form fields, if you are just adding copy to the pages but not to the form fields it should be fine.
Here is an FAQ on editing FormsCentral PDFs in Acrobat (I understand this was an imported PDF): http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661
Another option would be to export the responses from that form, edit the original PDF the way you want it and then import this new edited PDF as a new form in FormsCentral where you could import the responses from the first form.
Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Thanks,

Problem with imported pdfs from older version
I'm working in CS4. The InDesign document I'm working on was originally done in an older version of InDesign (not sure which). It contains imported pdfs that were created in CS2 and CS3. When I export to pdf the older imported pdfs don't display properly on my client's PC - the type is not there, only boxes with question marks - but the pdf looks fine on my screen. I upgraded from CS2 to CS4. The only way I've gotten around this is to export the CS4 InDesign document as an .INX file, have a friend open it up in CS3 and save down to an .INX file again, open the doc up in CS2, create the pdf from CS2, and open it in the older version of Acrobat. Then my client sees the type clearly on their PC
I'm using Suitcase (thought it was a font issue, but I don't think so now as the fix seemed to be between the CS versions.
Anyone else have this problem and/or a better solution? I'd like to be able to simply export a pdf and be done with it.
Thanks!Thats it thank you!
There was a text wrap applied to all the graphics. its working perfectly now!!
Thank you again!!!

I recently updated to Adobe Reader X and suddenly can no longer import PDFs into Excel. This was working fine up until the update this past week, as I do this function weekly for school work.
Any idea why?
When I have Excel open, I use the insert object, create new, adobe acrobat document, click ok, and then excel locks up, I see adobe reader load, then get an error message within Excel: "cannot start the source application for this object"
Adobe Reader then has the error message: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found"
The problem is, I wasn't even prompted to choose the file before Excel locked up.
I've tried making sure Adobe Reader was running and open prior to the insert object function but this doesn't seem to help either.
Any ideas appreciated, this is the only way I can submit my homework!
ETA: Running Win7 32-bit and Office 2007Since Excel is not an Apple product. You'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than this one, which is dedicated to using Mac/Windows compatibility.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you. -

How can I use hyperlinks in imported PDFs
We need to import PDFs into an InDesign CS6 document and these PDFs have hyperlinks to web sites in them. InDesign doesn't see these hyperlinks and they have to be redone. Is there a way to get ID to recognize these hyperlinks? In case it makes a difference ultimately these pages will be exported as .folio documents and will be published on the iPad.
No. PDFs are imported essentially as graphics. You could draw empty
buttons above them and set them as go to url links.
If you have DPS questions, please post them in the DPS forum.

can i import .pdf documents to iPhone 4 (CDMA)?
The question is, can i import .pdf documents to iPhone 4.
Answer, Yes you can, it's called Dropbox.
Once you have downloaded Dropbox on your iPhone and on your Mac (one is an iPhone App, the other is a Mac Software), open an account it's free.
Look on the right hand side of your Desktop menu bar for a blue box icon, click on the icon and chose "open Dropbox folder", drop any pdf file into the Dropbox folder (lets say the Public folder) the document will Sync, once that is done it's now available on your iPhone, simply open Dropbox on your iPhone, located the folder, open the document and read it. For those who don't know, the iPhone 4 can read pdf file by default, no other software required.
PS : Another great App for the iPhone and Mac is Evernote, it has very powerful features. -
Importing pdfs to multiple devices, quickly!
Hello all.
I have a question regarding importing PDF files into the ipad to use in iBooks (or other free applications if they are more suitable, please advise).
I have about 100 PDF files (at the moment, it will increase in the future) on my computer. They are NOT novels, they are flyers/catalogues for our products.
we distributed ipads to sales reps and are currently setting up the devices.
Before launching this initiative, we need to import the PDF files into ipads. The only way I know how to do this is via Itunes. HOwever, when the file sizes are this big, its very time consuming. (100 files x 50 devices)
I tried conerting the pdfs into EPUB files, however these files did not work on the ipad for some reason.
What would be the fastest way to transfer these files onto these devices before handing out these devices to sales reps?
I considered dropbox and other cloud based ones, but where i am, China, there is no unlimited internet connection servcie available, in other words telecomm fees will be too much if we use cloud based services, so I would prefer a method that does not require internet connection.
please advise and let me know. If you know alternative methods that will yield the same reuslts (ultimately, if we can distribute these pdfs onto ipads and sales can view them without trouble, it is not crucial that the app used to view these are ibook.)
thank you in advance.Here are some methods that I have come across.
Consider some push method: SugarSync or dropbox addon. Depending on how often the fiels change. Most of the syncing could be done in the home office.
There are lots of ways of moving files. USB to iPad supports only "Camera" files via camera connection kit.

"Using SugarSync, you simply designate folders that you want to “sync” to the cloud and it keeps everything in sync anytime you make changes. This is the way cloud storage should be done and especially if you are using your iPad for buisness or for school."

Doug says:
"This can be done with Dropbox as well using one of the many Dropbox addons…"

The only potential downside is that so many apps for the iPhone/iPad come with Dropbox sync built in which makes it extremely convenient. -
Greetings all,
I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
myWin.orientation = 'row';
with(myWin){
myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
myWin.center();
var myWindow = myWin.show();
if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
if(myFile != null){
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
}else{
alert("No File selected");
}else{
alert("No PDF Preset selected");
So far my code does the following:
1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
3) Toggles the Template
4) Runs #2 Again
5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine. -
How do you change the quality of imported PDFs?
I have been creating fillable forms in LiveCycle ES2, using my companies existing PDFs, importing them as fixed images, and adding form elements on top. When I have been looking back at what LiveCycle is producing in terms of quality, versus the PDFs I initially import in Acrobat, the quality is substantially worse in LiveCycle, and any PDFs that I import into and save from LiveCycle look to be a much lower quality. The images of our forms I am importing into Acrobat are 250dpi, 8.5x11. They look crisp and clean in Acrobat. When they are imported, the text looks more grainy when zoomed in, and the logos have jagged edges. I read that LiveCycle, by default, imports PDFs as a medium quality JPG. First, is there any way around this? I can't find an option anywhere to change the quality. If not, is there a workaround that would allow me to accomplish my goals?
I created a new, blank form in LiveCycle, added an image, and set it as the image of my PDF form. The quality is significantly better, however, the hierarchy is substantially different than when importing a fixed PDF, and I will lose my OCR recognized text from my original PDF.Kyle,
Thanks for your response. To be clear, the way I am importing the PDF is by going to New in LiveCycle, and selecting Import a PDF document, and selecting Create and Interactive Form with Fixed Pages.
I cannot change the forms or pages, as they are created by our local Board. In otherwords, I have tryed used the flowable content, and upon import, not only are the fonts slightly different, but all the important artwork (trade-related) is gone, and is not in the exact positions it was in. The forms must meet the standards to which they were approved by the regional board, and there are state-mandated forms as well.
What surprises me is that you say this method of Fixed Content isn't used much any more. I would think that a lot of people would have PDF files they would wish to make into fillable, interactive forms without needing to reconstruct the entire document. Perhaps a company that has always done things on paper, and now wishes to use those exact same forms on the computer, with no deviations to looks so they can be printed and match up perfectly.
I thought about using Acrobat's internal form creation system. However, some of these forms have sophisticated options and the calculation scripts and systems within LiveCycle are very useful. Not to mention that it has a much larger scalability, should we chose to utilize it.
Any other suggestions? I am so confused why Adobe would force medium-quality import of a PDF, but be so incredibly flexible about every other option in their program. -
PDF Reader for IPAD 2: how to import PDF files in the library
I have installed the "PDF reader" app and it is a great one. but can't import pdf files that are already in my IPAD (I see them in iBooks)
Documents associated with a specific app, such as iBooks, are not available to other apps on the iPad unless the app that they are associated with is capable of sending docs to be opened in another app, such as GoodReader is capable of doing. iOS is a much less open system than a computer OS like MAC OS X or Windows, there is no central documents folder which various apps can browse to and open.

How to import pdf files in Premiere Elements 8
Hello,
I'd like to know if there's a way to import pdf files in premiere elements 8, becouse if I try to import it in "project" it gives me an error saying "this type of file is not supported".
Thank you
SebastianUnfortunalty it's not working for me yet. If I try to import the PDF (single page) into the project, the progress bar reach 100% but then says: "the file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed". I have Acrobat Reader 9.3 installed too.
I've uploaded one of the PDF's that I want to use if you want to test it yourself:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YB7NT4QR
One of my coworkers says that I may need Adobe Bridge to do so, is that correct? Otherwise a simple "pdf to jpg" (or other image formats) could solve the problem.
Thanks for your support.
