This article is correct about the //. First make sure you remove them correctly, and nothing else. Only 2 // must remain, one at the beginning, one at the end.

One Smartform - Multiple PERNRs - Output is Single PDF

Hi Gurus,
Scenario:
100 Employees receive Appraisals.

50 receive Bonus
30 receive Variable Pay
20 receive Other Incentives
The Forms for Bonus / variable pay and other incentives are different.
Smartform 1: Bonus
Smartform 2: Variable Pay
Smartform 3: Other Incentives
The output that i need is when the Form Generation Program is executed, i should be able to club into one Single PDF File for each
a. 50 PERNRs who receive bonuses with Smartform 1;
b. 30 Variable Pay PERNRs with Smartform 2; and
c. 20 Other Incentive PERNRs with Smartform 3.
Currently, when the Form Gen. program is executed, it is creating one smartform for one PERNR....thereby, creating 100 PDF files.....
Kindly help.

How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?

How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Riceburner1,
Since you have had difficulty scanning using My Image Garden, you can scan using the IJ Scan Utility program that also comes with the printer. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Place the documents in the ADF or on the platen glass of the printer.
2. Start the IJ Scan Utility.
For Windows 8.1:
1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it, then continue with Step 3 below.
For Windows XP:
1. Go to your START MENU, then select ALL PROGRAMS, then CANON UTILITIES, then the 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. Please continue with Step 3 below.
3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window. In the Select Source field of the Scan Options section, select DOCUMENT (ADF/PLATEN) to scan items placed directly on the platen glass, DOCUMENT (ADF SIMPLEX) to perform single-sided scanning from the ADF, or DOCUMENT (ADF DUPLEX) to perform double-sided scanning using the ADF. You can then set the item size, resolution, etc. in the Scan Options section as desired.
5. 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. Please note that the filename that you give the document here will be the default filename for all items scanned until you change the file name. If you leave the file name the same in the field, the scanned item will have a sequential number appended to the end of whatever name you give it.
b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the desired option. If you are scanning a multipage document, 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 MY DOCUMENTS folder.
6. In the APPLICATION SETTINGS section of the window, please select the DO NOT START ANY APPLICATION option.
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. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Once the scan is completed, scanned images are saved in the previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
Hope this helps!

Hiding filenames when combining multiple files into a single .pdf

I'm fairly new to this Acrobat X. I'm trying to assemble my portfolio to distribute to employers but I cannot seem to get rid/hide the filenames in the final pdf file. I was using the option to 'combine multiple files into a single pdf' because I was compiling images and documents to a single readable pdf file. I got all that done but once I open it, I'd see that each page would still contain the original file names rather than page numbers - which I prefer not to have employers see for the sake of tidiness (and I refuse to use the Adobe portfolio because it's not really efficient on space or design. I prefer a simple page-by-page pdf). So I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to hide my file names, change them into page numbers or getting rid of them all together so the 'Table of Contents' in the pdf preview mode would not show anything, I would really much appreciate it.
-Ss

Well, when the .pdf is in the final, deliverable form; I open it in Mac preview mode and the sidebar is always extended showing a 'table of contents' rather than having each document in the pdf file have a number designating a page name, it shows each individual filename the pdf is composed of. Not too sure about bookmark, though. Thanks for the reply!
If you want, I can send the file to you.

Generate and Print Preview Multiple Forms in a Single PDF

There have been other questions similar to this but none directly address my problem. We have the need to generate multple forms in a .pdf using Adobe interactive forms. We can generate the multiple forms, but the user has to click on each form to view. They want to have the forms in a single document that they can scroll through before printing. We can do this in SmartForms but need to do it in Adobe. Does anyone know how to generate multiple forms, either multiple copies of the same form or various forms, from an ABAP program into a single pdf that can be print previewed, in scrollable form, by the user?

I can describe it one more time, I think:))
You have multiple options, but only one "reasonable" within SAP.
You can call an external application (through command line etc.) to concatenate forms for you.
You can use iText as mentioned in the thread, and write yourself a "tool" which will concatenate the forms for you.
Both these "options" would not be acceptable for my clients, I name them to help you get the whole picture.
Then there is the third option: use a form for a single instance (template/ form A) and create a new form (form B), where you will use the A template:
- you need to: create a new interface where everything from the old interface is a row of the table (example: you have a form to print out the personal card of the employee, so in a new form you will need to use a table, where a row is an employee)
- you need to create a new form layout based on the new interface:
in this new layout you will paste the whole layout of the old form (A/ single instance) and wrap it into a subform. The added subform will work as a table (you will bind that to the table from interface) and everything from the old template within this new subform will work as a "row" (something what you can repeat for each data item).
Does that sound reasonable?
Cheers Otto

Scanning multiple pages to a single PDF

I need to scan (with a standard HP all-in-one) multiple pages and save them to a single PDF. Does anyone know how to do this? I was hoping to scan individual pages into individual PDFs, then combine them somehow -- but I can't figure out how Mac OS can do that. Any thought? Thanks in advance.

Scan multiple pages into a single PDF document?

How can i scan multiple pages into a single multipage PDF file?
I've seen similar questions posted, but I haven't found any good answers. The only advice i saw was to scan each page as a separate PDF document, then merge them into a single PDF using third-party software.
Obviously, i don't want to have to do that.
I can't believe that there really is no way to do it using the existing HP print/scan utilities provided with the hardware.
My printer/scanner is the "HP Photosmart 5514 e-All-in-One Printer - B111h", and i'm running Vista (64-bit) on an HP Pavillion notebook.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
From the HP Scan software (Start > Programs > HP > HP Photosmart 5510 Series > HP Scan) select PDF and ensure the resolution is 300 DPI or lower.
Ensure the Show Scan Preview option is checked and click on Scan.
Once scanning the first page completes, place the next page on the glass and click the plus button below the scan preview...
Once you are done click on Save.

Combining multiple files into a single PDF/A

The issue brought up in another discussion is the loss of PDF/A conformity when “merging” multiple PDF/A files into a single file (I use PDF/A for preservation of corporate records). The “insert” option retains conformity but does not allow inserting multiple files in a certain order, unless you insert them one by one (which is a pain when you have 50 files to attach).
The solutions I’ve come up with so far:
1) 1) In AAPro – combine files into a single PDF and then convert it to PDF/A using Preflight. This is easy, my only problem is that I don’t have AAPro (and AAStandard doesn’t convert to PDF/A).
2) 2) In AAStandard – combine files into a single PDF and then “print” to PDF/A. The problem of this “re-frying” is that it only creates PDF/A-1b (not 1a), bookmarks and OCR of scanned pages are lost, and files become significantly larger.
I wonder if anyone knows a more intelligent way around this problem, provided that I only have AAStandard. Thanks!
