Acrobat XI Pro in batch-Modus

Hallo,
ich möchte die jpg-Dateien Hunderter Verzeichnisse je Verzeichnis in eine pdf konvertieren und dabei jeweils dieselben Parameter benutzen:
Alle jpg-Dateien von Verzeichnis x zusammenführen, Texterkennung durchführen, alle Seiten auf A4 setzen, speichern unter x.pdf.
Bei der Vielzahl der Verzeichnisse suche ich nach einer Lösung im "Batch", so dass ich den Prozess abends starte und ohne weitere Eingaben von mir sind die pdfs amnächsten Morgen fertig. Muss doch irgendwie gehen
Viele Dank für alle Ideen

Aber nicht mit "nur Acrobat". Dafür müßte man ein richtiges Skript schreiben... Zu viel Gedöns mit Dateinamen und so...

  • Can I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to batch convert v1.6 PDF files to v1.3?

    Recently I have posted up a project so the contractor can read the text in the PDF and create hyperlinks from these text. These PDFs are in format of engineering drawings.
    He informed me that he was going to use PHP to read the PDF text as javascript cannot.
    He then asked me to convert the version of our current PDF files from v1.6 to a lower version: v1.3, because php cannot work with higher PDF versions.
    So I found this PDF version converter: [link removed by forum host] but it only converts one by one. I have like a few hundreds of them, so I really need something to do batch convert.
    Could anyone help me out here? We (the small business I am working at) do not have Adobe Acrobat X Pro but will buy it if it can do the job.
    Otherwise could anyone advise me of any other software that can do this?
    Thanks heaps.

    Yes, Acrobat XI Pro can do this very easily. You can create an Action that runs the PDF Optimizer tool, which can convert the file content so it's compatible with any earlier version of PDF (as well as other things). Actions can then be run against a folder of files.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - previous output settings in a batch process keep interfering with new one

    I created a batch process for pdf/a conversion.  For the output setting, I unchecked the "overwrite" box and added a suffix to the file name.
    When I deleted one and recreated a different one, it is still appending that old suffix to the file name and overwriting the old file.
    Even though I uninstalled and reinstalled the software (Acrobat 9 Pro), the batch processes I had created before were still there, hence the problem remains.
    How do I delete these files so I can start over?  Tech support didn't solve the problem and having a hard time getting through.

    Hi,
    User created *.sequ files are stored:
    Vista –
    C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Sequences
    XP –
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\<6.0> or <7.0> or 8.0> or <9.0>\Sequences
    It may be worth a search for all *.sequ files on the HDD to be sure you know where all of them are.
    Sounds like old ones were not removed by uninstall & with re-install, Acrobat is picking them up.
    Be well...

  • Adobe Acrobat  9 Pro - How can I speed up my Batch Processing sequence

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.0.0
    My company upgraded from Adobe Acrobat 7 to Acrobat 9 recently. Now, whenever I run a batch sequence on one 2003 Word file, it takes over 20 minutes - that's one Word doc. Before with version 7, it took only a few minutes.
    My Batch Sequence has only one command - the Open Options command.
    Question
    What can I do to speed up this Batch Processing sequence?
    FYI
    My Word doc contains no graphic - merely text with a TOC and Index.
    PS
    My system has 3.50 GB of RAM

    I have advanced tagging turned off.
    I'm only using these two Word options:
    Convert cross-ref and table of contents to links.
    Convert footnote and endnote links.

  • Additional Batch Sequences for Acrobat 9 Pro

    In my downloaded version of Acrobat 9 Pro, there are only a few batch sequences.
    The last time I bought Acrobat on a CD was version 5, and many additional batch sequences came on the CD.  By "additional" I mean that they were not automatically installed when Acrobat was installed, but they could be installed manually.  One could simply copy the additional batch sequences from the CD into the Acrobat installation, after which all of them would be available via the Acrobat interface.
    Is the same true with a CD version of Acrobat 9 -- i.e., has the Acrobat 9 CD additional batch sequences that can be copied into the Acrobat installation?
    If so, is it possible for a user of the downloaded version of Acrobat 9 Pro to obtain those additional batch sequences?
    On my Acrobat 5 CD, the additional batch sequences were in --
    (optical drive letter):\Batch\Sequences
    In my Acrobat 9 Pro installation (under Windows XP Pro), one would copy additional batch sequences to --
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Sequences\ENU
    In both Acrobat 5 and Acrobat 9, it appears that the names of all batch sequence files end in the extension .sequ
    I would particularly like to obtain the "List all Bookmarks" batch sequence.  I copied that sequence from the Acrobat 5 CD to the Acrobat 9 installation, and it "sort-of" works.  The main problem is that its list of bookmarks is limited to one page, regardless of the number of bookmarks.  Any bookmarks that would be listed on pages 2, 3 etc. of the list of bookmarks are not listed at all.
    Is it possible for me to download or otherwise obtain the Acrobat 9 "List all Bookmarks" batch sequence?
    Thanks!

    Thank you, try67, for that insight.
    Here is the "List all Bookmarks" batch sequence from the Acrobat 5 CD:
    /* List all Bookmarks */
    /* Recursively work through bookmark tree  */
    function PrintBookmarks(bm, nLevel)
        if (nLevel != 0) { // don't print the root
            bmReport.absIndent=bmTab*(nLevel-1);
            bmReport.writeText(util.printf("%s",bm.name));
        if (bm.children != null)
              for (var i = 0; i < bm.children.length; i++)
                PrintBookmarks(bm.children[i], nLevel + 1);                          
    bmTab = 20;
    bmReport = new Report();
    bmReport.size = 2;
    bmReport.writeText(this.title);
    bmReport.writeText(" ");
    bmReport.size = 1.5;
    bmReport.writeText("Listing of Bookmarks");
    bmReport.writeText(" ");
    bmReport.size = 1;
    PrintBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0);
    global.bmRep = bmReport;  // make global
    global.wrtDoc = app.setInterval(
        'try {'
        +'       reportDoc = global.bmRep.open("Listing of Bookmarks");'
        +'       console.println("Executed Report.open");'
        +'       app.clearInterval(global.wrtDoc);'
        +'       delete global.wrtDoc;'
        +'       console.println("Executed App.clearInterval");'
        +'       reportDoc.info.title = "Bookmark Listings";'
        +'       reportDoc.info.Author = "A. C. Robat";'
        +'} catch (e) {console.println("Waiting...: " + e);}'
        , 100);
    I am not a programmer, and so would be grateful if you would advise how that sequence should be modified to incorporate your suggestion.
    Thanks!

  • Batch Convert InDesign Files to PDF: Acrobat 9 Pro Opens CS3

    A question came up in the InDesign forum about batch converting InDesign files. I've never really needed to do it but I was aware of the batch convert command. The OP reported errors so I tried it myself and while it worked, for some reason Acrobat 9 Pro is opening InDesign CS3 even though I have CS4 and CS5 installed.
    I can't seem to find any way to change the default for INDD files. I tried launching ID CS5 first, but Acrobat still launched ID CS3. If I double click an INDD file in Windows Explorer, it opens in CS5 so the operating system has the default correct.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Thanks,
    I just found that out, too.
    What I'd like to find out is how to fix this.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro: Batch Export Form Data to TXT?

    Is it possible to use Acrobat 9.0 Pro's batch processing utility (Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing...) to export a bunch of PDF forms to individual .txt files (Forms > Manage Form Data > Export Data...)?
    I can't find access to the Forms menu in the built in Batch utility wihen I click "New Sequence...", so I imagine it might take some custom JavaScript, which I'm not super experienced with, but I muddle through reading JavaScript code and understand it.
    So, if someone can give any direction, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

    I'll try and read through the API Reference, but can't I just use a relative file path... something like this.exportAsText(true, null, "\..");
    I don't know the correct syntax for filepaths in JS... does it get wrapped in double quotes?
    The JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference says:
    Paths
    Several methods take device-independent paths as arguments. See the PDF Reference, version 1.7, for details about the device-independent path format.
    Where the hell is the PDF Reference, version 1.7???
    Is there a this.filename property?

  • Batch Processing - Acrobat XI Pro - Freezed

    HI eveyone,
    I am trying to do Batch Processing in Acrobat XI Pro the same i do with Acrobat 9 PRO. What i aim to achieve is to Export the PDFs to PostScript but when working on a bigger volume ( more then 700 letters) it freezed up. Normally we are working with 3500 letters per batch. Any resolution to this?
    or am i doing the wrong procedure on doing the batch processing in XI Pro?
    here is my procedure: New Action Wizard > Save & Export > then i specify my settings to convert my folder to PostScript.
    please help..
    thanks
    anthony

    I had a discussion on these forums about this subject with an Adobe employee when the new version just came out and told him that it's not suitable for mass processing files. His reply amounted to saying that it wasn't meant for that, but for running macro-style sequences on small batches of files... In other words, it appears to be a "feature", not a bug. Let's hope it will improve in the next version of Acrobat...

  • Batch change color of existing highlights in a PDF (Acrobat X Pro)

    I'm trying to find a script or action that will batch change the color of some existing text highlights in a PDF.  The document shows the text being highlighted, but the highlight color is extremely light such that it is visable only with unnecessary effort.  Idealy, I'd like to create a script or action that would identify all of the highlights in the document and change their color to a more standard and visable yellow instead of the washed-out and barely visable yellow I have now.
    Thanks!
    Edit:  I'm using Acrobat X Pro in Windows.

    You can do this with JavaScript. Note that it could be a problem with the color or the opacity setting, or both. For more information, see:
    opacity: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.55.html

  • (PLEASE HELP)Can Acrobat X pro do a Batch Conversion to Word? (multiple file conversion)

    I am trying to convert multiple PDF files to word using Acrobat X Pro and I am not sure if it is capable of doing this process. I have tried doing one file and it works great even on files that have colums and tables but I cant figure out how to convert alot of them at once. Do I need to buy a thrid party software to achieve this task? PLEASE HELP ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY

    Use the Action Wizard (in the Tools pane) to create a new Action.
    In the Edit Action dialog, on the right side, there are three panes.
    Look to the third (bottom) pane (for "Save To").
    At the far right of the "Save to:"  line is an icon - click it to open a configuration dialog.
    The configuration dialog (Output Options) has a selection at the botto - "Export File(s) to Alternate Format".
    Tick this selection and use the drop-down menu for "Export to:" to select the format.
    Amoung others you have RTF, Text, Word 97-2003, and Word Document (i.e., *.docx).
    Similarly, use the "Start with" configuration tool to select supported file formats for batch processing to PDF via an Action.
    Tutorials and additional Acrobat X Actions are available at the Acrobat User Community.

  • AppleScript to batch change 'Initial View' of PDF Documents Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hi
    I'm struggling to write a script that takes a bunch of PDF documents and opens
    those in Acrobat 9 Pro. Changes the Inital View settings (ie. Page layout = Single Page and Magnification = Fit Page)
    and saves the changes.
    Is this possible with Acrobat and AppleScript?
    Is there an AppleScript Reference for Acrobat?
    Appreciate your help.
    Cheers,

    Well, it says Acropbat Scripting ... didn't appear to me as Windows only.
    Will move it to the Mac Forum.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Will it print to pdf with embedded pdf's from Word 2007?

    Hello All,
    We're considering upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro or Extended.  One of our concerns is whether it will handle the following:
    1. We create very large documents and we like the ability to use OLE of existing PDF documents imbedded into Word 2007 which causes a new PDF window  to open up from the imbedded PDF.  It also displays nicely as an icon or the cover page within Word.
    2. The challenge is when printing (distilling) that master document with any imbedded PDFs, the icon or cover page is displayed, but the OLE feature goes away and does not recognize the imbedded PDF any longer; Acrobat simply treats the imbedded PDF in Word as any other page in the distilling process.
    3. We're not wild about bookmarking or linking to another PDF.
    Does Acrobat 9 Pro or Extended resolve this issue?

    The options availible for scripted print settings are all shown in the entry for "PrintParams" object in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.  Have you looked to see if these options fit your needs?  If they do, and if the script can detect which PDF requires which options, then  you're in business.  But if the options you need are not there, then your only option is to set the batch process to display the print dialog for every PDF.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Creating PDF from explorer (Right-Click) problem

    Hello,
    I am new here. I've searched the forums here and maybe I've missed finding the solution.  We recently updated from Acrobat 6 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro, and I can no longer get a PDF to be created in the same folder the Word, Excel or other file is located.
    In otherwords, when I use (under Windows Explorer) the right-click option and Convert to Adobe PDF, Acrobat 9 Pro keeps asking me where to save this file!  Under Acrobat 6 Pro, it would just create the file under the same folder unless I specified otherwise.
    I have tried to look under the Word 2003 Adobe PDF "Change Conversion Settings" and I do not have the box next to Prompt for Adobe PDF file name checked.
    Am I missing something? I would have assumed this simple process would have carried over from Acrobat 6 Pro. I really do not want to go through a bunch of processes just to save the PDF in the same folder. Under Acrobat 6 Pro, this was a simple task. I am not doing anything major, just converting various Word (.doc) files to PDF.
    Thanks.

    Using Windows 7, Acrobat 10.0.1, basically the same problem.
    Explorer > Right-Click > Convert to Adobe PDF
    brings up the Save As dialog and if you'll notice the path in the address bar at the top, it defaults to the last folder in which you created a PDF.
    In the Save As dialog, browse to the folder in which you want to save the PDF then click the Save button. This folder will stay in effect until you change it by browsing to a different one in the Save As dialog.
    Using Acrobat X, I tried everything I could think of to get a fast, efficient way of converting multiple files to PDF (with the same name and in the same folder as the source files) and, unfortunately, the method described above seems to be the fastest. I tried drag and drop to an Adobe PDF printer shortcut and that didn't work at all--it did nothing! In Acrobat X, File > Create > Batch Create Multiple Files will present a dialog with options for saving to the same folder and keeping the same name as the source file, although it seems like the files process slower in addition to having to click 8 times (not counting selecting the files) before the process begins.
    I fervently hope that Adobe will change Explorer > Right-Click > Convert to Adobe PDF back to automatically saving to the same folder as the source document.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro and straight .swf to PDF conversion

    I have an electronic document that is several .swf files, one
    file for each document page. Using cutepdf I can put each file in
    firefox and then print the the page to pdf. This is very tedious
    since I have 1000+ pages. I would prefer to speed this process up
    with AA9.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When I try to create a
    new PDF from the .swf file I get some dialogue that treats the .swf
    as embedded content. This puts an annoying play button at the
    bottom of the converted page and makes it incompatible to view in
    my iPhone or other handheld devices. It would seem that AA9 treats
    the .swf as .swf and doesn't convert it to .pdf like cutepdf does.
    I have to believe that AA9 can ignore the media type of .swf
    and straight convert the content in the .swf to .pdf without
    treating it like I want to embed it as a flash file inside a pdf.
    How is this done? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply. This problem has yet to be resolved
    sadly. The play button isn't a huge deal as that the document wont
    convert into straight PDF. I finally gave up and decided to batch
    convert all of the files and just deal with the embedded content
    angle AA9 takes. Sadly this was also a failure since every file
    that was converted (1200+) wants me to confirm the embedded content
    settings. Very annoying. Any help on these subjects would be
    greatly appreciated.

  • Would a custome made adobe acrobat plugin work in adobe acrobat X pro and XI pro?

    We are looking to write a c++ pdf compare plugin with adobe acrobat sdk 8, but not sure if the plugin in will work in the latest adobe acrobat XI pro since the sdk is 8.0. Can someone with experience in this area confirm whether the plugin would work or wouldn't work in the latest acrobat XI pro version?

    Thank you for your reply. What kind of support can we get by using SDK X or XI? Will there be additional fees charged on those support?
    Our client likes the pdf comparison format from Acrobat 8 better because they have been using that format for a long time for their pdf comparisons. With that said, it is not a requirement set in stone with the client, just highly preferrable. Another reason I mentioned SDK 8 is because I read in other message threads on this forum that the comparison api exposed to developers are from Acrobat 8, pdf comparison api from later versions, 9, X and XI are not released to public.
    https://forums.adobe.com/message/2335879#2335879
    https://forums.adobe.com/message/2670981#2670981
    Furthermore, our client is part of the federal government, this application is for their internal use on their pdf files, but the result of the comparison is released to public as public data (not sure, need to verify with client if there's a subscription fee). Does anyone know if there could potentially be a licensing problem if we develop a plugin-in with Acrobat SDK 8 or X or XI to batch compare thousands of pdf files every few months for the client? The client bought and paid for licenses on Acrobat 8, 9, X and XI.
