Use XMLP to pull only specific pages from larger PDF template?
We need to be able to pull specific pages or a range of pages out of a larger template to use to merge data into and return to users or the selected delivery method. I've seen a lot of information about how to add page numbers to PDF templates / documents, but nothing about how I can pull out specific pages. We know this can be done using iText or some other technology, but does anyone know if this can be done using XML Publisher at all? This is a big issue for us and could determine whether we end up using XMLP at all or go with something else. Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!
Hi
Publisher is not currently capable of pulling out specific pages from a given PDF,.
Regards, Tim

No, so extract one page, then convert.

How to extract specific pages from a PDF
Hello. I'm using Windows XP Pro on a custom PC with Adobe Acrobat 8.0. I work for a small magazine (abqarts.com) that publishes its online version in PDF format which is created by our production dept. I need to extract specific pages from the magazien as PDFs to send to a client. Tried to look up how in the Help file but I think the termonology is defeating me.
I can load the magazine's PDF into Acrobat, but can't manage to save, print or export two pages and the cover as individual PDF files. I'd sure appreciate some help.
Thanks,
PeggyGraffiti, thanks for your quick response! When you say "open the pages view" that's the drop-down View menu, right? Then I select Page Display but don't know which one to chose after that. Single, two-up etc.
And Control>click on a page selects an image on that page--not the entire page, which is what I want.
That said, I'm way happy you pointed out Document>Extract Pages. That works great for me, one page at a time. Maybe I don't need the other things clarified because I can use this one, but I'd like to get working all the tips you provided.
Gratefully,

How can I save one specific page from a .pdf file into it's own .pdf file?
I've got this 4 page pdf file, and I need to save just one page from it. I know that there's the option of using the select tool and doing a copy/paste to an image file, but I'm trying to keep it as a .pdf and I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.
Perhaps this solutions workability will depend a lot on what type and generation of PDF you got and the tech built into the program suggested....
But ! (never-the-less)
You could try to see if the "Free PDF to Word Doc Converter version 1.1" will work for you....
I know it will not get you a single page .PDF but if the program works you could get a .Doc of which you might have the possibility to save a single page after editing it !(?) -
Opening a PDF in a specific page from a PDF created in indesign
Hello, I'm working with CS4 and I need you to click on a button, or from a "hyperlink" in a text, open a pdf file but for a given page.
I can not change the target pdf and also I have to access a single pdf into multiple pages, put an example
persone one speaks at the pdf 1, on page 14
person two speaking in pdf 1, on page 15
I wish that when you click on the person 1 opens pdf 1 on page 14, and when you click on the person 2 opens pdf 1 on page 15
Thanks in advance
mateoThanks, I had not noticed in the new dialogue coming out. Thank you very much. A greeting.
Muchas gracias
mateo
Rectification
ohhh, no, the page references are to an indesign document, not a PDF
I have not indesign files where you created the PDF to which I have to jump and I can not add bookmarks to pdf, pdf files are protected.

Export only specific data from PDF to Excel
Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to export only specific fields from a PDF to an Excel sheet. I have dozens of past revenue statements from various companies. When I export the whole PDF at once, it does not transfer in any use able way without manually moving a bunch of things around. I am working with revenue statements from oil and gas wells. Therefore, the goal is to put the well name in one column, quantity produced in another, price sold for in another, etc. However, as I said, the statements are not set up in a way that transfers over in that format. It would be ideal if I could choose which columns in the PDF to transfer over and in what format I choose. In many cases, I have a different PDF for each month, which I could merge into one document if I need to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.It's possible to do it but it requires using a script. You can't do it by using the built-in Export Form Data command.

How can I extract pages from a PDF? The Tools menu is missing.
I used to be able to extract pages from my PDF file. I don't see the tools icon anymore. How can I access the tools icon?
Hi lenm,
To extract pages, you need to use Acrobat (not Adobe Reader). As I can attest (because I do have both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same computer), it is quite easy to open files in Reader when you mean to open then in Acrobat. So, please make sure you have the right app open. (I pull this one all the time!)
Now, if the Tools menu is missing from Acrobat, choose View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Show Toolbars to make them reappear.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Hello,
I need your advise, please. My customer requires to print a specfic page from a pdf document they receive, using command line or 3rd party solution.
Anything you can advise, please? I have seen AcroRD32.exe options, but can only print the whole document.
Kind RegardsNot sure if there are any examples. The Acrobat SDK is a must, but it is best treated as documentation to study rather than examples to copy. The examples only illustrate a tiny fraction of the capabiliies.
(One other note: the solution must involve the client owning Acrobat; Acrobat is not for server use). -
How to pull only column names from a SELECT query without running it
How to pull only column names from a SELECT statement without executing it? It seems there is getMetaData() in Java to pull the column names while sql is being prepared and before it gets executed. I need to get the columns whether we run the sql or not.
Maybe something like this is what you are looking for or at least will give you some ideas.
public static DataSet MaterializeDataSet(string _connectionString, string _sqlSelect, bool _returnProviderSpecificTypes, bool _includeSchema, bool _fillTable)
DataSet ds = null;
using (OracleConnection _oraconn = new OracleConnection(_connectionString))
try
_oraconn.Open();
using (OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(_sqlSelect, _oraconn))
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
using (OracleDataAdapter da = new OracleDataAdapter(cmd))
da.ReturnProviderSpecificTypes = _returnProviderSpecificTypes;
//da.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey;
if (_includeSchema == true)
ds = new DataSet("SCHEMASUPPLIED");
da.FillSchema(ds, SchemaType.Source);
if (_fillTable == true)
da.Fill(ds.Tables[0]);
else
ds = new DataSet("SCHEMANOTSUPPLIED");
if (_fillTable == true)
da.Fill(ds);
ds.Tables[0].TableName = "Table";
}//using da
} //using cmd
catch (OracleException _oraEx)
throw (_oraEx); // Actually rethrow
catch (System.Exception _sysEx)
throw (_sysEx); // Actually rethrow
finally
if (_oraconn.State == ConnectionState.Broken || _oraconn.State == ConnectionState.Open)
_oraconn.Close();
}//using oraconn
if (ds != null)
if (ds.Tables != null && ds.Tables[0] != null)
return ds;
else
return null;

return null;

Hyperlink from within a Word Document to a specific page within a PDF document.
I was hoping that someone would be able to assist me. I would like to create a hyperlink (used as a citation) on my Word document that opens directly to a specified page within a PDF document (possible other word docs and so on, but less
often). How do I go about performing this? Another note, all the documents would reside within a SharePoint site.I was hoping that someone would be able to assist me.

I am not a Word guru, but I don't think you can run a macro from a hyperlink. But you can create an active X label that runs a macro when clicked. You can use the following macro to go to a specific page in a PDF file.
Sub OpenPDFPageView(DisplayPage As Integer)
'In order to use the macro you must enable the Acrobat library from VBA editor:
'Go to Tools -> References -> Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library, where xx depends
'on your Acrobat Professional version (i.e. 9.0 or 10.0) you have installed to your PC.
Dim PDFApp As AcroApp
Dim PDFDoc As AcroAVDoc
Dim PDFPageView As AcroAvPageView
Dim PDFPath As String
Dim DisplayPage As Integer
PDFPath = "C:\Users\doudou\documents\test1.pdf"
'Set the page you want to be displayed
'DisplayPage = 3
'Initialize Acrobat by creating App object
Set PDFApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
'Set AVDoc object
Set PDFDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
'Open the PDF
If PDFDoc.Open(PDFPath, "") = True Then
PDFDoc.BringToFront
'Maximize the document
Call PDFDoc.Maximize(True)
Set PDFPageView = PDFDoc.GetAVPageView()
'Go to the desired page
'The first page is 0
Call PDFPageView.GoTo(DisplayPage - 1)
'Set the page view of the pdf
Call PDFPageView.ZoomTo(2, 50)
End If
Set PDFApp = Nothing
Set PDFDoc = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
'Show the adobe application
PDFApp.Show

Open a PDF to a specific page from command line
I want to open a locally stored PDF file to a specific page from the command line. I have seen examples of accessing web based files using http and the #page= parameter but this does not seem to work for a file stored on my local drive. I want to be able to use VBA from MS Access to control the opening page.
Hi cfwoodbury,
When opening a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass the parameters to the open command using the /A switch with the following syntax:
<Acrobat path> /A "<parameter>=<value>" "<PDF path>"
For example:
Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000" "C:\example.pdf"

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.
You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.
