Pages .pdf crashes other Macs!

Hi Folks,
I created some newsletters and sent them out as .pdf. This sent .pdf has crashed 5 Mac's! Oddly enough, a cc: copy of the file to myself does nothing. I have sent similar materials to Windows users and they have not reported an issue. Golly gee, why does this happen! Any hints, or recommendations are hugely appreciated.
Feel like a cad for crashing harmless MAC users!
Tom

Tom,
Any chance one of the images is corrupt? To test, you might try pulling the images out and resending.

How do I get iTunes page on iPad to look like the iTunes page on my other macs

The iTunes page on my new iPad 2 screams, COMMERCE........how do I make it look more like a normal iTunes page? I also find it very hard to navigate the iTunes page in general!

As a gentle reminder you can avoid these sorts of questions by either consulting the User Guide or nosing around in these or other forums. Many questions are answered in the Guide, and most have been asked and aswered many times online.

Export single-page pdfs with page name

I've been looking for a script that:
- exports every page of an indesign file to a seperate single-page pdf (or other filetypes)
- names the pdf with the name of a page -> this is the hard part to find
The reason i could use it: i have a 200+ page file with productspecs. I would like to export every page with the correct productname. (extracting pdfs in acrobat is not a problem, but then i have to manually rename every file)
I'm not sure how to name the pages, as it's not a function in indesign. Ideal would be to be able to "tell" indesign: this textframe = the pagename, so it wouldn't be necessary to label the page seperately.
I'm not a scripter. I searched the forum and found some info on this already, but not a working script including automatic pagenaming.
I did found an old post where someone points to such a script, but i can't find it:
http://www.techplex.net/postsm40018_possible-to-name-pages.html#post40018
Did anyone ever made/found/used such a script?
(btw, a similar script for illustrator artboards would be very useful too!)
Any help appreciated!

scott zanelli made one years ago. does a fantastic job.

How do I save one page from a multi-page pdf document?

Can I take a 65 page pdf file and save it as 65 individual pages?

I know if you are using Adobe Acrobat X, you can go to the "Tools" section and then under "Pages" you will see "Extract". If you click on that while your document is open it will show you your options for extracting the pages and saving them as individual PDF files. Be sure to check the box "Extract Pages As Seperate Files" and this should help get you on your way. I hope this helps answer your question on extracting pages from a multiple page PDF.

__Is there a way to make a multi-layer Ai file into a multi-page PDF? (1 layer per page)

__Is there a way to make a multi-layer Ai file into a multi-page PDF? (1 layer per page)
thanks

Definitely can be done.
In CS 4 you create an artboard for each page and the position the art for the corresponding page on the corresponding artboard and make a layer for that art. This way it does not even matter if the layer s are properly layered when saving the pdf. Just as long as the artboards are.
CS 3 and earlier back a larger document that can be divided into whole pages by turning on tiling and using the page tool position that art.
Position the art for each page over the designated artboard make a layer for each pages art now when you export the with tiling on and you wll get a multi page pdf.

Introducing: Open Multi-Page PDF win/mac

Hi all, many users have expressed their desire for a way to open multipage PDFs in Illustrator and for a couple of years now, mac users have enjoyed the use of a script by Shane Stanley to do just that...at first I wanted to translate his script into VB so PC users could benefit from it...since I couldn't get the source code, I decided to give my own version a try using JS....here's the result.
Use with caution, save everything before running until you're comfortable it won't mess things up. I didn't try opening a crazy amount of pages, I "only" opened 35 in about minute and a half. Let us know how many pages you're able to open before you crash Illustrator...
it works with CS4 and CS5 only, windows and mac
have comments?, questions? let me know...enjoy. Carlos Canto

Hey Carlos!
Thanks...:)
I am using my Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7.2.
I downloaded the script and added it to the JavaScript folder (is this the right folder?)
Opened Illustrator -> File -> Scripts -> Other Scripts -> (browsed for the script)
Opened the pdf file in preview and noticed the amount of pages. Can the script have an autodetect so it selects all the pages in the pdf?
Went back to the script dialog box and changed the To area to the amount of pages. Clicked Open.
(I have a few 16 page pdf files that I need to change the logo for each page)
Gradually it opened seemingly on top of each other. Clicked ok. 14 artboards from left to right. 2 artboards below on the left. Hmm I forgot how to adjust the layout of the artboards, can anyone give me the hint on doing so?
I tested the script with 2 16 page pdf files and it looks good!
Now if only you could add the script to Indesign as well...:) As I noticed that Indesign can not open pdf files.
Have a great day!

My iPad 1 is now very unstable. Apps crash consistently, Mac Numbers/Pages etc incompatible with IOS 5.1 etc. There seems to be no backwards compatibility to iPad 1. Am I just supposed to throw it away? I have restored the iPOad and it has ample storage .

My iPad 1 is very unstable. Many Apps simply crash after opening. There is ample storage available.I have restored the iPad twice now and still it is unstable.
Is this a lack of backwards compatibility because no-one writes apps for IOS 51.1. and the original iPad anymore? not even Apple, as the documents and sheets I create on my Mac are incompatible with my iPad now.
My naievete tells me that this is simply Apple expecting us to upgrade to later levels of hardware. If so, very disappointing for an Apple fan. Seems your App developer approvals (even your own apps) do no require compatibility with anything but IOS 6 or later.

There are various things to make your iPad more stable. You can try deleting all apps from the multitasking bar; do a reset ie hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears; Settings > General > Reset all Settings.
If you had the previous version of iPages (version 09) on your Mac before upgrading to Pages 5.2, your Mac should still have that version in Applications, which is still compatible with your version of Pages on your iPad.
If you don't have that version, you can 'Export to Pages 09' which is still compatible with iOS 5.1.1.

HP 2540 scanning to create a multi-page pdf (Mac OS X)

My printer/scanner is: HP 2540
My OS is Mac OS X 10.10
Need help with the following:
How can I scan single pages (an old tax return) to create one multi-page PDF? I saw a reply on how to do it in Windows, but not using OS X. Any assistance would be appreciated as I need to get this done for legal reasons.
This question was solved.

Hello @txrun ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you would like to scan multiple pages into on PDF document.
I would like to help.
It really depends on how you are scanning.
Are you using Apples Image Capture or HP Scan?
If you are using HP Scan, it should be quite simple.
Scan the first page.
You should have a preview of the page on the left hand column of the window.
You will also have a little plus sign found at the lower left hand corner of the window.
Change the page on the scanner glass then click the little plus sign.
If you are using the Apple Image Capture, you will have to change the format from JPEG to PDF.
This will cause a little box to appear under it, that will say 'combine multiple pages into single file'
Check this box and proceed to scan.
Hope this helps you.

I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept pdf documents not created in pages...

I have pages 09 0n my Mac Mini, but iCloud won't accept some pdf documents not created in Pages (Its says Document format not supported).
How do I get docs (pdf/jpg etc.), that are saved under "Documents" on my Mac Mini (Not in Pages), onto iCloud???
I want to transfer (None Pages) documents from the Mac Mini to my iPad 3 (Which has Pages for iPad 3).
Thanks in advance for ANY Feedback!

You can download PDF files from iWork's page to a mac, but you can't upload from mac. Also, you can't use iCloud like MobileMe's iDisk. Most document formats on your mini can't be copied to iCloud. Use Dropboc instead.

Can't send single-page PDF files to other apps

When someone emails me a PDF with multiple pages, the files appears as an attachment in the email and I have to click on it to view it. Once I click on it, I am taken to a full screen view of the PDF and I can scroll to see the other pages. When I tap the screen, the square with an arrow point up appears in the upper right corner. When I touch the square with the arrow, I am given the option to send the PDF to Messages, Mail, etc. I also have a app on my iPad called PDF Expert and I can send it to this app as well. PDF expert lets me draw on the PDF so I can sign documents.
So here's the problem. When a single-page PDF is sent to me, it appears in-line, in the email body itself. It does not appear as an attachment. When I click on it, instead of it taking it to another page where I can view it full screen, it gives me the option to Select or Copy. This doesn't help me at all. I have had this problem with images showing up inline in the email body as well.
Being able to see the attachment inline is a nice idea, but there absolutely needs to be a way to send it to another page to be viewed full screen and to give the option to send it to other apps.

I have been having the same problem... Here is how I solved it.
I removed all graphics from my automatic email signature line and then it worked!!!! For some reason, the ipad mail app cant handle a graphic signature block and an attachment.
Good Luck!

Cannot print a pdf off my mac 10.6.x. I can print all other files Epson printer 'Cancelling'

Cannot print any pdf from my mac to Epson printer
I can print all other files except pdf
Using the most updated Adobe Reader XI
Using the latest driver for the printer from Epson
Using a USB cable
Whats up?

I have the same problem, I cannot print ANY PDF file from my Mac running 10.8.5 Mountain Lion and using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.4 I have verified that all files print properly when printed from within Preview or within Libre office. There is no option in the Mac Adobe reader to reset the installation like there is on Windows. I have also tried deleting reader completely and re-installing and the same behavior.

Using .mac with pages created by other apps

Is there a way to publish pages created by other applications to .Mac?
This may seem like a silly thing, but every year I run an NCAA basketball pool (all legal, of course). I have run this on my web site with my own domain, but would like to make the switch to my .Mac site. The software that I use to run the pool creates web files to upload to your site. With my old site, I would just create a page with a link to the pages, and upload everything. Is there a way to add files to your .Mac web folder somehow? Does this make any sense?

Sure there is...
Publish your files to a folder, then copy the whole folder to your iDisk/Sites/ folder. To get your iDisk mounted to your desktop, look under the Go menu of the Finder, then select "iDisk", then select "My iDisk".
For example....if you publish your b-ball pool site to a folder called "bball". Then copy this folder to Sites folder at the root of your iDisk. You can then, access the web pages at the following Homepages URL:
http://homepage.mac.com/yourdotmacname/bball/index.html (substitute your .Mac username and the appropriate start page name, of course).
That's it!
This is different from your iWeb site, but if you ever design pages in iWeb and publish them, you can simply provide a link on those pages to the above Homepages URL.

Front row crashes on particular Video_TS file stored on other Mac

Hello, I have an iMac with some soft copies of movies I own. I use the iMac to serve up Video_TS folders to several other Macs in my home. I notice that on all of the Macs (including the iMac hosting the shared folders,) if front row ever crashes when reading the file or anything interrupts the initial read causing it to exit early, that folder will never be readable my that Mac again. No matter what I do there seems to be some kind of cached file that makes front row crash when I try to read that same file again.
I can login as a different user on the same Mac and it will work. Is there a user specific cache for front row that can be cleared? Thanks for any advice, pointers or assistance. Joel

Can you play the same video_ts folders using the regular DVD Player application? Or do you get (maybe) a more detailed error?
