Need to place a PDF on Disk

I am developing a Media kit on DVD. I thought I could place a PDF file that our clients could transfer (copy) and/or view.

Not sure I can get more specific than reading the manual on how to add ROM content but here ya go:

Place multiple pdfs into separate indesign and export to pdf again

Ok I have a lot of PDFs that I need to place into indesign in their own file, then re-export back as a PDF again.
Can anyone recommend a script for this if there is one? All the pdfs have different page counts etc. and I don't need to save the Indesign file.
I just want to put all the PDFs into their own InDesign file and reexport to PDF again. They are all A4 sized PDFs, 210 x 297mm.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks harbs
I need to Save all the pdfs as RTF, and some of the PDFs have bad tags and won't allow me to save as RTF.
I can batch process them in Acrobat to Print to PDF and that works for some, but not all the PDFs, it won't print some of them back to PDF.
I have 100's of these "bad pdfs" and it would be great to be able to place them all into separate indesign files and export out as pdf again. It will be tedious to run the PDF importer and export for all of the files.
I don't need to save the indesign file, just place and export the pdf again.
Just looking to automate the process.

What plugin do I need to open a PDF in InDesign?

What plugin do I need to open a PDF in InDesign? I have twice lost my changes in an InDesignfile but I have saved in in PDF form. I want to open it in InDesign but it says a plugin may be missing.

You can't OPEN a PDF file in InDesign. This has never been possible.
You can PLACE a PDF file. A placed PDF is treated as a graphic, you cannot edit it. If you choose Import Options, you can choose which page(s) of the PDF to place.

When I place a PDF in Illustrator the size is distorted.

I'm running Adobe Illustrator 8.0 (sorry for the old version). I've always placed TIF images with no problem but when I try to place a PDF the size comes in distorted in both directions. It comes in a couple inches narrow and at least an inch taller than the image. I also found that opening a PDF in Illustrator results in the same distortion. I've confirmed that the size properties of the PDF are correct. Does anyone have any ideas what I need to do to allow the PDF to come in at the correct size?? Thanks all.

Illustrator 8 was released around 1998 or so, if I remember right. That would have been around pdf 1.2 (acrobat 3). Acrobat is now at, what, 9? (pdf 1.6 or 7) The plain fact is, pdfs are much more complex, containing more data, than they did 12 years ago. Probably, Illustrator 8 just doesn't know what to do with it, or how to interpret it.
I'm amazed that it works at all, actually.
Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

Indesign CC crashing when I try to place a PDF.

I just installed CC day before yesterday. Today is the first issue I have had. It doesn't seem to have any issues placing JPEGs or EPS files, but it does not like PDFs. Anyone else experience this and know what could be causing it?
Thanks!

If ID is now crashing as it starts up, the recovery data is corrupt and you'll need to empty the InDesign Recovery folder. And if cropping to media is not working, either the .indd file is damaged, the PDF is damaged, or the apllication prefs are damaged.
See if you are able to get the document to open again, then try to place some other PDF. If it crashes again, try creating a new user account an log in with that and see if you can place a PDF. Let us know what's happening.
Interesting....must have been the .indd file that was damaged or the app. prefs. I had tried placing PDFs I knew were good and it still crashed. I didn't figure the document was damaged because it was a brand new document. However, after clearing the Recovery and creating a new document, it placed fine. A little confusing, haha!

Place AI / PDF with a bleed

Hi,
We have some artwork created in Illustrated, and the image extends off the page to create the 'bleed'
We need to place these images in to Indesign, and keep the bleed - however, when placing the file into indesign, it seems to always crop the image down to the page size of the illustrator file, and lose the bleed.
any suggestions on this?
Thanks

jonshutt,
Do you check Show Import Options when you place ai/pdf? There are Options: Crop To. Choose Bleed.

P.S. I'm with CS3, but as I remember in CS2 things were the same.
Edit: Sorry, but Bob is right. The workaround is on the Illustrator side. I prefer to place pdfs instead and that's why I made the mistake above.
Maybe you can print ai files from Illy to PDF with Crop Artwork: Artwork Bounding Box and then place the pdf in InDesign as described above.

Is it possible using Applescript to place a PDF as a link at a crop bounds other than Art Box?

I've spent countless hours trying to have an applescript place a PDF as an Illustrator Link at the PDF's Media Box using "make new placed item". The only result possible as far as I can tell is a link at the PDF's Art Box.
I've seached around and have seen others with the same issue, but no answers as to whether it is actually possible. As with most Applescript stuff, I am either way overthinking it or it is not possible directly.
Currently I have a workaround using an Applescript script controlling Acrobat to sidestep the problem by setting the Art and Crop box to Media box, then place as a link in Illustrator, but it is not a direct route into illustrator.
I have also noticed that in the "Adobe Illustrator CS5 Scripting Reference" that the "PDF options object properties" do not honor the PDF crop bounds (except for the default value of Media Box). Is this an inherent problem with Applescript/Illustrator and PDF crop boxes? Could it be that the options for Open PDF and Place PDF are crossed?
Thanks for any input on this, It has actually been a problem I could not get past for years.

The AppleScript Dictionary says the same as the OMV and Jongs helper… CropToBox for placing & pageToOpen for opening… For me a misleading doc mistake… And forgiven for the fact that it should dammed well be there in the first place…

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and how to configure that disk

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.

If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

How to embed the needed fonts in a pdf file

Dear Sir/Mam,
We had purchased licenced version of adobe acrobat x pro
We are facing issues while embedding the font in the pdf file
Please find the below mentioned requirement
Requirement:
We have a pdf file (template) with some static images and static text in it
We need to populate dynamic data in the pdf file for this we may use text boxes
We need to set the font name for the text box and embed that font in the pdf template (Eg:Font to be used in textboxes is "RotisSansSerif-Bold")
Queries
Please let us know how to embed the needed fonts in the pdf file?
Once user exports the pdf file, even if user doesnot have the fonts installed in his system the text need to be displayed in the same fonts,how to acheive this?Eg:if we define "RotisSansSerif-Bold" as font in the textboxes,after exporting the data the text need to be in the same font.
Note:
Fonts will only installed in the application server and not in the client system
The mentioned requirement need to work on below mentioned specifications
OS:Windiows-XP, Browser:IE
OS:Mac osx, Browser:Safari
Regards,
S.N.Prasad

There is a similar post just a few away from yours. I will suggest what I would try. Open your job settings file (press or print preferred to get all fonts) and then select the properties and the font tab. At your font to the always embed list and you will likely need to uncheck the subset box. Then save your job settings (give it a name that is meaningful to you, you can not use the settings file you started with as they are read only and I do not recommend changing that). Maybe that will do the job. Of course that is for the creation of the PDF, I forgot you were talking about a form. You might check the form field properties, but I suspect you have already tried that. Guess I don't play with forms enough. Others may be by to answer.

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
Can anyone here help me?

Vincent,
If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

I need to change a pdf format to data? help?

I really need to change a pdf tax return into a data return so I can amend it, the tax program I used will not let me transfer a pdf, I saw some choices when I went to save it under the name but I don't know which one would be data. Thanks hope someone can help,

That's probably not possible at all. Contact the IRS for advice on how to file a new, correct return.

I need to able to print a pdf that is locked. It has fields to fill in but then to save a copy I need to "print" to PDF not save as a pdf because that is not an option with the document. Is there a way to do this?

The PDF has fields to fill in but then to save a copy I need to "print" to PDF not save as a pdf because that is not an option with the document. Is there a way to do this? HELP!

Sorry I thought was just a one off, it would be no use for large volumes.
Do you not have this avaiable in the print menu in Preview with these documents?
I have also found a link on the Adobe web site that discusses that this facilty is enabled by the creater of the PDF.

If you do a web search there are various claims on how to save a protected PDF, I have'nt a way to test the proceedures. I would want a copy of any forms that I sent off, not sure why they protect them in this way, there must be a reason.

5 hours to do 6 GB of transfer is NOT normal, even for USB 2.0 so there's something wrong here. I'd say cancel it, wipe the drive and then test the integrity of the drive. Do some file transfers over to and see if it's behaving normally. It could be a bad USB cable, it could be a bad drive or bad enclosure. As it's new, I suspect you haven't really put it through its paces yet and it's important to do that first before commissioning it to serve as your "reliable backup."
