Add the ability to flatten specific pages not the whole PDF

There are times when I need to flatten a PDF, or should I say part of a PDF and it would be nice to not have to extract pages then re-insert them.

Note that with the doc.flattenPages JavaScript method, you can flatten a range of pages, which can represent a single page. More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference.

How to create a table of contents (TOC) linking to specific pages of different (multiple) PDFs

Hi All,
I would like to create clickable Table of Contents (TOC) that can lead to a sub clickable TOC that would lead to a specific page of different PDFs within a folder.
Is that possible?
Secondly, is is possible to create a search box that upon typing a specific word (not related to text within the PDFs), that word to be linked to a specific page of a particular PDF out of many within a folder?
To make it more clear, I have a database of specifications of equipment and drawings of a building, all in multiple PDF files. I would like to be able to unify all those PDFs and if I type the room number of the building to be presented with a menu of choces pointing to services assosiated with that room, being elctrical power drawings, lighting drawings or drawings of Air Conditioning and Ducting associated with that room. So I type a room number, then I get a menu of Power, Lights, Fire Alarm, or Ducting all associated with that room, then if I click Fire Alarm to be directed straight to the drawing within a PDF related to that room.
Thanks

I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
Good luck!
P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.

With version 5, on starting get a box "checking compatibility of add-ons" then to Firefox home page not my home page--What's happening?

Just installed version 5. As above I get the box then it goes to Firefox home page not my home page. I've updated and/or disabled every add-on or extension and it made no difference. I am in a university behind a tough firewall. I'd love to go back to version 4 but that isn't available.

Disabled add-ons will still be checked and can still be updated.
I don't know why you are continuously getting the message, you should only get it when there is a version change.
You can try solutions in https://support.mozilla.com/questions/817681 but you had better make a list of what extensions you had disabled first, because all of your extensions will be enabled when you delete/rename those files in your profile. You can use about:support to get a list of your extensions. (renaming is safer than deleting).

How do I link a reference point in one PDF to a specific page in a different PDF? I want it to open link in a new window AT the specific page.

I have a paper with multiple reference points that I need to link to 3 other pdfs. Each time I create a link in the master PDF, I need to open a file in a new window and point to a specific page in the other pdf. I cannot get it to work.

Hmmmm, just tried that and used the magnify glass to capture the specific page in the second pdf, but when I tried the link, it doesn't open a new window, it sits within the original pdf and I can't go back to the page I need to. What am I missing/

Password protect specific pages, not whole site

Hi,
I use iWeb to publish my website, and I do have a .Mac account. I know how to password protect the entire site, but I want to know if I can protect specific pages only.
According to this website (http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/iwebstone.html) I can, but I haven't figured out how.
I guess a workaround would be to publish several sites, but I was wondering if I can avoid that.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

According to this website (http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/iwebstone.html) I can, but I haven't figured out how.
Sorry, no. The sentence on that page that says you can password protect a page is simply wrong. You can only protect a site. Of course a site can consist of only one page.

Linking to specific pages within several other pdfs

My source pdf has ~700 references and I need to create a link to each reference (target pdfs). There are hundreds of target pdfs and the source document references different pages within each of the target pdfs. The target pdfs need to contain the entire document and not just the cited pages. What I am doing is creating a link and selecting opening a file. What I am not able to do, is assign a page number to this link so that a certain page will appear instead of page 1. I understand that you can set the initial view with file properties, but that will not work as I would then have to create a pdf for each link and there are far too many references to do that. Here is a sample "Reference at pp. 2, 4, 6." and in this sample I want a separate link for each reference that will go to page 2, page 4 and page 6 (again I need the entire document for reading purposes for these links and not these specific pages).

How to print a specific page from a given PDF document, using command line, please?

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 Regards

Not 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 can I export from Excel to pdf using Acrobat Std to achieve uniform page size throughout the whole pdf document?

After exporting the whole workbook to a single pdf file, page sizes are inconsistent. When viewing the document in full screen, some pages show up as 25% zoomed, others as 34%. I could re-print the exported pdf file to pdf in Acrobat Std, and that way I could get the same page size throughout the document, but then I loose my bookmarks, which I don't want.
I have already set the page size to A4 in Excel, but that's not where my problem lies. any help, hint is appreciated.

A good place to start is Karl Heinz Kremer's blog, where he has a few examples:

DELETE PAGES WITHOUT DELETING WHOLE PDF FILE

I need help figuring out how to delete certain pages of a file without deleting the whole file and without having to re-scan 50 pages?
Eric Price

I feel everyone's pain and here is what I did to get it to work in Adobe X Pro.
Right click on the Quick Tools Area as seen in Figure #1 and select Quick Tools:
     Figure #1
Select the Pages option as seen in Figure #2 and select the add triangle to add it the the Quick Tools to Show: window as seen in Figure #3.
     Figure #2
     Figure #3
Click on "OK" and now the toolbar is added to the application as seen in Figure #4.
Now you should be ready to rock-n-roll. I hope this helps.

I attach a file in mail and the whole thing shows there ie. attach a PDF and the whole pdf content is displayed in the mail. Anyone know how I just get the icon toi appear as the attachment rather than the whole file? This only happens with pdf and jpg

Hi Folks,
When I attach a jpg or pdf to a mail it shows as the whole document "pasted" into the mail. Anyone know how I get the file to just show as an icon and not as a mass of pasted in docs?
Thanks,
Pedro

For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader. To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.

How to hyperlink from a pdf file to a specific page in a second pdf file

I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open in acrobat pro and have hyperlinks that jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
It seems to me to be something that everyone would want to do and should be simple enough.
But I seem to be missing something.
I had partial success a few years ago using what I recall are the following general points:
Create files in word,
Use absolute address
Use / not \,
Converting the spaces in the address to %20
Set the hyperlink base to “file:///T:/PdfDocumentsFolder/”
Add location with #page=3 to end of file name,
Convert to pdf with acrobat pdfmaker
Open pdf with web browser into reader.(could not get it to work on mac with OS 9) by Checking Edit-Preferences-Internet-Web Browser Options-Display PDF in browser
This will allow the pdf to open to a given page, but only in the acrobat reader under MS IE, Not in Acrobat pro and not on a mac even in the reader.
Now I have a large (500) PDF documents with a very large number of comments and a key user switched to a Mac and can not automatically go to the page and would lose or have to transfer comments that have been made on the pdfs.
I have looked at and tried a number of things that have not worked:
Change all the links by hand:
Tools-Advanced Editing-Link
Action-Open file
I can not see where when Inserting a link by hand one can place the page number
Action-Open weblink
Close, This can open a file,
If Edit-Preferences-Internet-Web Browser Options-Display PDF is checked it will jump to a page
But if it is not checked it will open in acrobat pro and not to the page
Does not seem to work on a mac
Looked at acrobat javascript
Don’t seem to see any method that would allow a page number
Under open document
Open under a URL
app.launchURL("Document.pdf", true);
seems to error if a #page=2 is add to file name
Looked at security
Don’t seem to see that there is anything in the preferences that can be set to enable the jump to page action
Looked at privileged and non-privileged and did not see how that would help
Looked at adding disclosed=true;
function Disclose()
this.disclosed = true;
Looked at Portfolios to see if some kind of group of documents would allow the jumps but could not find a solution.
I have not looked at bookmarks to see if I bookmarked every page “Pagexxx” and then jump to the bookmark would get around the problem.
So I am not getting the right combination and could use some help
Thanks
John
Current Systems in use:
Windows XP
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
Or
Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
(note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
P.S.
In a similar vain within the word source documents I was able to get a hyperlinks to make the same kind of jump to a page using a VBA macro with the following call:
Shell "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe /A page=" & iPageNum & "&Zoom=125=OpenActions """ & sHyperlinkBase & sHyperlinkAddress & """", vbNormalFocus
After parsing the hyperlink and to get file name and the page number
So I know acrobat pro can be called as an application to jump to a page

Thanks for that information.
I did not see that the “go to view link” could change documents. I thought it was only within a document.
I manually added two “go to view links” and that seems to work on both mac and pc computers.
That brings up two questions.
For old files can a acrobat java script batch file be setup to read the hyperlinks in a pdf document and replace them with a “go to view link” style?
Can one place a “go to view link” style in a word document and then have the adobe convert to acrobat process it into the pdf format with the rest of the document? (or set up the converter to make word hyperlinks change to pdf “go to view links”?

When sending an email I used to be able to add a distribution list from my contacts, I now have to add each email address individually, does anyone know how I can add the whole list?

When sending an email I used to be able to click on a distribution list in my contacts and it would add all the email addresses, I now have to add each email address individually and this takes a lot of time. Could someone tell me how I can add a distibution list/group to my emails?

Barney,
I have four groups.
I just typed the name of one of those groups in the To field on the iPhone's email, and received:
Invalid Address
"<group name>" does not appear to be a valid email address. Do you want to send it anyway?
I clicked continue and it remains in my outbox.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Page Not Responding (Streaming PDF)

I'm not sure if this is related to my code or just the app I'm customizing, but here is the problem.
I'm using FOP (Apache's Formatting Object's Processor) XML Graphics project.
In any case, I'm creating this PDF on the fly and then streaming it back to the client as application/pdf. The PDF opens properly. However, the buttons on the page do not respond once the PDF opens. The page in question is part of a frameset, so when I hit the F5 (Refresh) button, all frames reload and the app responds as expected.
Here is some of the code:
XSLTInputHandler input = new XSLTInputHandler(new InputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(myXML.getBytes("UTF-8"))), new InputSource(xsltStream));
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Logger log = new ConsoleLogger(ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_DEBUG);
MessageHandler.setScreenLogger(log);
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setLogger(log);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.setOutputStream(out);
input.run(driver);
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)getPageContext().getResponse();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Report.pdf");
byte[] content = out.toByteArray();
response.setContentLength(content.length);
response.getOutputStream().write(content);
response.getOutputStream().flush();
response.getOutputStream().close();Any one has any thoughts on this?

it seems that once I call flush(), I no longer have a page, even though I can see it. I can't even view source for the page. I can, off course, refresh the page, then everything start working again...

Latest Pages not saving to PDF properly

Anyone else found a fix for when Pages won't export all of a document to a PDF, please?
The PDF displays all my paragraph headings; but some - not all - of the *text in those paragraphs is missing in the PDF*.
TIA!

Check whether they are in fact in the same font.
There are lots of fonts with the same name but in different formats.
Any of these Windows ttf fonts?
Also I am guessing that the heading is in bold but the paragraph text is plain, therefore not the same font although they +may be+ from the same family or appear to be from the same family.
How did you upgrade to OSX 10.6.2? If you did not upgrade with the combo upgrader, chances are that you have damaged font caches and possibly damaged fonts as well. This has been discussed at length here.
