Add text 'on top' of multi-page PDF

Hello,
I have a job application form to complete. There is a Word version, which is horrendous when opened in Pages, or a PDF version, which of course looks great. So rather than struggle with sorting out all the formatting in the Word version I wondered if I could open the PDF version in Pages and type 'on top' of it.
Obviously I don't want/need to change the PDF, just use it as the background for new text that I enter.
I tried the 'insert>choose' menu and it just pulled in the first page as far as I can tell - is there any way to get all the pages?
Thanks in advance!
Andy

Your issue is solved, so I guess I'm posting for the archives and anyone who might search. I use the utility Formulate for this. It's only purpose in life is to type on top of a PDF, and then you can print or even Print to PDF to create a filled form.
Donationware, easy to use, has made my life so much easier:

Inserting multi-page PDF file in Appleworks text document.

When inserting a multi-page PDF document in an Appleworks text file, it only inserts the first page.
How do I insert all the pages at once?
Ron

As far as I know you must break you PDF in single pages documents.
Then you will be able to drag and drop all of them in a single process but it will be time consuming to move them so that they are correctly located in the layout;
Inserting them one by one will be more efficient.

PS/BRIDGE CS5 multi-page PDF + selectable text

since i started using CS5 i cant figure out how to make multi-page PDF's and selectable text i know that now bridge does the job with PDF's but i dnt know how to make text selectable, ive noticed that doing file -> automate -> batch then save as pdf will make PDF's with selectable text but this wont gives me an option to create multi page PDFs, sooo annoying grrrrrrr

Assuming you're coming from an earlier version of Photoshop, you'll find the ability to make a multi-page PDF has been removed from Photoshop.
There's some more information on that, written by an Adobe employee, here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3434502#3434502

How to I add text on top of image? I am using pages version 5.2.2

I am working on an apple desk top OSX version 10.9.4. Since the new pages version 5.2.2 came out, I have been unable to add text on top of an image. Can anyone help me? Thanks ahead of time.

Pages v5 is not as flexible as Pages ’09 v4.3. If you want text over a free-standing image in your document, then you will need to place it in a Text Box, Shape, or other custom container created with the Unite, Intersect, Subtract, or Exclude items in the Arrange panel. Simply selecting the image and then, in the Arrange tab, stating move with text; setting wrap to none, and clicking back/ward — does not help.
You will need one of the containers from the second sentence positioned on top of your image. Once your text is input and styled, select the Text Box and the image, then from the Arrange tab, select group to maintain your text/image spatial relationship. If you need the image and its text container to adapt to other text in your document, you can enable the wrap functionality that best suits your document goals.
This can get interesting, because you can independently define the selected Text Box content as a text placeholder, and the image as a media placeholder. Save it as a template. When you open a new document with this template, you can drag and drop a new image onto the old one, and it is automatically scaled and replaced without effecting the Text Box content. You can then double-click the Text Box content and change it.

Using Windows Search for multiple, multi-page PDFs

I am scanning documents into a Windows folder (documents have been OCR'ed). An employee verifies that each document has a specific number that OCR picked up, if OCR did not, the user will use the 'Add or edit text box' under tools in Adobe Acrobat Professional XI to add the correct number. Multiple scans are handled this way and merged together to create documents that may be up to 2300 pages long (so far). Within that same Windows folder, there are other files with similarly handled information and numerous pages.
My problem is, if I am looking for a specific number that is within one of the PDF files within the Windows folder - I can find it if I open the file that contains the number and do a search. However, even though we are using a Windows index to be able to search from the Windows Search, the Windows Search will not always be able to find one of the indexed numbers. Does anyone know if there is a maximum size or number of pages a PDF can be for the Windows Search to be able to be used? Perhaps this is a question I should ask of Windows. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong with the PDFs or if the Windex index isn't working. Thoughts?

Something that may help -
With a multi-page PDF open in Acrobat Pro; select Document > Extract Pages
In the Extract Pages dialog you can select "Extract Pages As Separate Files".
This will provide you with a PDF file for each page of the source PDF file.
Additional options are also possible.
In a thread at AUC, Thom Parker identifies these.

Acrobat Pro 9 Multi-page PDF Printing backwards thumbnails

Any time I create a multi-page PDF and ask it to print, it will print the first page correctly and then print every subsequent page as a mirror image thumbnail in the corner of the paper. If I print each page individually it prints fine. After doing a fair bit of testing, I've found the following:
If I de-select the option "choose paper source by pdf page size" this issue does not happen. Unfortunately, this means any multi-page PDF with 8x11 and 11x17 doesn't print the 11x17 pages properly as it just prints them on 8x11 paper.
If I select "print as image" this issue does not happen. Unfortunately, this is unacceptable due to the blurring of lines and text that occurs when selecting this option.
I haven't tested the various page scaling options because I am producing scaled maps, and must therefore leave it set to "none".
Does anyone know what might be causing this, and how to resolve the issue? Printing 10-20 page documents one sheet at a time isn't exactly an ideal solution.

Unfortunately, not only does this not solve the problem with multi-page-size documents, but it's begun happening on files which are all one size as well, where that box isn't even checked.
It appears that what's happening is the newer versions of Adobe Acrobat don't play nicely with emulated postscript support past a certain date. We're replacing our Canon with a newer model that has actual postscript support, and if that resolves the issue I'll be certain to post confirmation here. Copies of Adobe Acrobat 7 and 8 in our office haven't seen this problem at all; it's simply everyone who has upgraded past that point that can't print reliably.
More news next week, after we get the new copier.

How to make multi-page PDFs?

A question on this in the Archives did not answer my problem. Until recently, I could easily make multipage PDFs from Pages on my iMac (10.8.4). Now suddenly it only makes a PDF of the first page of multi-page files. Cannot find anyplace to change that back. HOW do I make multi-page PDFs again?

Check this portion of your code.
if(rs.next())
response.sendRedirect("02_dashboard_welcome.jsp");
else
out.println("Wrong username or password");Once the user is authenticated(valid username and password found), he is always redirected to a particular page no matter what kind of user he is. You need to add some if-conditional and redirect him to different pages based on his role.
i have stored their login and password in different tablesI don't understand the need to create different tables for each kind of users. Rather i would do something like this.(Rough Schema)
USER_ROLE(table)
1. USER_ROLE_ID (Eg: 1:salesperson, 2:employees etc)
2. DESC (Eg: salesperson, employees)
USER TABLE
1. USER_ID
2. USER_NAME (Eg: AAA)
3. PASSWORD (Eg: BBB)
4. USER_ROLE_ID<Foreign Key, 1 if user is sales person, 2 if user is an employee etc>
Please note that you will have to create a third table to assign role to an user if an user can have more than
one role ie he can be salesperson and employees at the same time.
Now use USER_ROLE_ID to redirect the user to different pages.
Note: This is just an example(may be a worst one). please design your database and business logic as per your requirements.

Batch open Multi page PDF's

How can I batch/automate open a multi page PDF in CS3?
I need to open multi page pdf's then rasterize them as individual jpegs, the "save As" from Acrobat or "export" is not good enough quality. They need to go through Photoshop.
At the end of the day I want to create a droplet so I can drag a load of multi page PDF's onto it and
let photoshop get on with it, I then come back 15-20 mins later, and hey presto there are all my converted CMYK 300 dpi Jpegs!
Please help!!
Thnx
Simon

If I recall correctly, Adobe changed the Acrobat JPG output after version 6. If you have Acrobat 6, you might try it.
However, why do you say '
CMYK 300 dpi Jpegs'? 'CMYK' implies that printing is your intent. Anti-aliased text is not ideal for printing as it becomes mushy. You might want at least 600 ppi art without anti-aliased text here for crisper text.
Prematurely rasterizing this instead of sending the original PDF data to the printer seems very odd.

Read and Export "Target Area" of multi-page PDF

Hey there,
I have a multi-page PDF (400+ pages) and what I want to do is perform an OCR on a specific target area on each page, then export the results to a CSV or text file. For example, each of my pages is a report, and I want to take out one piece of data from each page, plunk it into a CSV, then bring that data into Excel to do a sum...

Acrobat's OCR will attempt to recognize all character images on a PDF page containing a scanned image. It has no "zone" control.
Once the PDF has an OCR output you can save it to a text file.

MULTI PAGE PDF

Can you create a multipage PDF in Photoshop Elements 8? If so, how?

Hello Brooklyn KJ,
Yes, PSE can create multipage PDF. First, you have to designate that your document has multiple pages. You can do this in a number of ways, but under the Edit menu is the command Add Blank Page. Using this command will convert your open document into a PSE. You can continue adding pages and cut and paste content to each page. Then, just go to File>Save As... change the format from PSE to PDF (the only two choices available). You will now have a multi-page PDF.

Create multi page pdf

Hi, what are the step by step instructions for creating a multi-page pdf made from jpegs using bridge ? I can't find the insructions.
Thanks !

You can find everything you want to know if you look at the Adobe Bridge
Help under the Help Menu and use PDF as search criteria.
For a contact sheet in PDF you can use the Adobe Output Module (either
choose workspace Output Module or use the right icon in the top left row in
Bridge Window.
Select the files you want and fill in the details for row and columns to
your own wishes, quality etc. There will be as many pages created as needed

Importing Multi-Page PDF. Problems with Image Size Changing.

I am working with CS4 on Windows XP.
This has happened to numerous files...
I open a multi-page PDF using PhotoShop using Grayscale. There are crop marks indicated on each page, so I will use the crop tool to crop each image accordingly. Then I convert each to a bitmap and save it as a .tiff file and close it. When I re-open the file, the image size has increased. It seems like it increases the same amount each time (maybe about 25%??) for each file.
Any suggestions on how to fix this are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm still unclear why you are bothering to open these PDF in Photoshop only to crop.
Acrobat can do this most easily. Placing the PDF files back in InDesign can also do this.
Photoshop is the last tool you'd want to use as it is rasterizing the vector elements/text and producing a larger file.
If you have neither Acrobat or InDesign, look to a free tool to crop PDF.

How do I stop an unwanted pop-up, "Click on Sign to add text and place signature on a PDF File"?

Whenever I open a PDF using Adobe Reader X, a pop-up appears at the upper right-hand corner of the document display window that says "Click on Sign to add text and place signature on a PDf file".
Is there some way that I can stop this pop-up from appearing everytime I open a PDF?
Thanks.

Click on "Sign" so that the Sign pane opens and leave it open for a few seconds. It wont re-appear if you re-launch Reader now.
HTH.

How to add text and objects (arrows) over a PDF document?

I am only familiar with Adobe Reader. Looking for the least expensive Adobe product that would allow me to add text and arrows over an existing PDF document. Not looking to edit (change) document other than add a "layer" over the original. Basic stuff I'm sure. Thanks for your help.

If you say so But I read the Original Comments and it doesn't sound like adding comments. When you adding layers as he is describing That is adding content.
"Not looking to edit (change) document other than add a 'layer' over the original."
But if you say Commenting then I suppose you are all correct.

Getting Page Count for a Multi-Page PDF file using Illustrator script?

Does anyone know how to get the page count of a multi page PDF file? I know you can then open each page using the PDFFileOptions (pagetoopen). But I need to know up front how many pages there are to loop thru to open each page and process each page.
Any Ideas?

This script i did for photoshop:
OK so lets do it working on WIN and MAC without any shell script.
This solution is not the best but its working.
I used Try catch to solve it.
Only issue is that you should at least somehow know how many pages you expect in pdf.. this mean if you are working with books or flyers...
Then set the maxPagesCount to that number.
I am working with pdfs with max 20pages.. so i start open the 20 then 19 then 18 and when i am success i know the amount of pages.
Its not the quicker way but its usable.
var maxPagesCount = 20;
var actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
var opts1 = new PDFOpenOptions();
opts1.usePageNumber = true;
opts1.antiAlias = true;
opts1.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
opts1.resolution = 10; //it will load faster the test page
opts1.suppressWarnings = true;
opts1.cropPage = CropToType.MEDIABOX;
myFunction = function () {
try {
      app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
      var fileList = openDialog();
      for (i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
        actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
        getPagesCount(fileList[i],maxPagesCount);
        alert(actPagesCount);
} catch (exception) {
    alert(exception);
getPagesCount = function (checkFile, lastPageID) {
try {
    for (var checkPage = lastPageID; checkPage > 0; checkPage--) {
      opts1.page = checkPage;
      var docRef = open(checkFile, opts1, false);
      docRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
      actPagesCount = lastPageID;
      return;
      checkPage=0;
} catch (exception) {
    // Look for next page
    checkPage--;
    getPagesCount(checkFile,checkPage);
