Appending and splitting pdf files

What is the best method of appending PDFs to documents
created via the cfdocument tag? In the past I have used 3rd party
software to not only generate but also append existing PDFs to
create one large doc. Is there a CF solution that allows for
this?

Furthermore, emailing e-documents is never a good idea; they can get damaged, misdirected, or lost in the process.
Far better use a file sharing service like Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc., then send the download link via email.

how to split pdf files also how to downsize a pdf file?

Hi Ali,
If the PDF file you're starting with is larger than 100MB, ExportPDF won't be able to convert it.
To convert a file of that size and to create separate files, you'll need Adobe Acrobat. You'd need Acrobat to divide the file into smaller chunks for ExportPDF anyhow, so Acrobat is probably the best solution for you. You can learn more about Acrobat here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html
Kindest regards, Stacy

Split PDF Files by Bookmarks

Can anyone please let me know how do I split PDF Files by bookmark using Java Script.
I am making a Visual Basic utility to read the bookmarks in PDF Files and split them based on the bookmarks. I am able to split the PDF Files by using Arts PDF Split Pro. However since I am already using Adobe Standard, I would like to do it with Adobe itself.
Thus, I pay license for only one software and not two.
Thanks
Rahul

I couldn't find much information online about this myself, but hammered away until it worked. You should easily be able to adjust it for your needs.

Script to Split PDF files on Bookmarks

I'm totally new to Java scripting. What I'm looking for is a script I can run from batch processing with professional that will look at a collection files in s directory and split ech one of them on their bookmarks into smaller files.
The bookmarks are all based on the page so it is possible to use the bookmark object's "execute" method to execute the bookmark action and pickup the page number.
I read that last part somewhere. If someone can give me a reference to a thread or just some code to get me started that would help. Thanks,
Josh

5 years later... hopefully this helps someone out there.
I couldn't find much information online about this myself, but hammered away until it worked. My code is for a slightly different purpose, but you should easily be able to adjust it for your needs.

How to split PDF file by pages

Is there any programming way to split PDF into pages, say one PDF file per page or specify page range to split PDF file?
Thanks for your help.

Yes it does. It disassembles pdf1 by extracting pages 1-3 and disassembles pdf2 by extracting pages 4-5. Then re-assembles the two subsets into a new PDF.
You could extract page1 from pdf1 only and create a pdf, then page2 of pdf1 into a different PDF using something similar to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<PDF result="Final.pdf">
     <PDF source="PDF1.pdf" pages="1"/>
</PDF>
<PDF result="Final2.pdf">
      <PDF source="PDF1.pdf" pages="2"/>
</PDF>
</DDX>
You can also use the PDFFromBookmarks tag to generate a new document for each level 1 bookmark created in a PDF.
<PDFsFromBookmarks prefix="stmt">
     <PDF source="doc1.pdf"/>
</PDFsFromBookmarks>

I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
== When I download and try to read a .pdf file and when I am asked to turn off all Firefox files and if I do, I lose them since I need to know how to save them without rebooting my computer.

Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

How can I store and share PDF files via iCloud?

I am trying to use iCloud to store and share PDF files from my PC, iPad2 and iPhone 4S... They are supposedly supported. I can share .docs, .xls, etc.... However, I cannot figure out how to share a pdf!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can download an iWork document from iCloud as a PDF, but you can't share a PDF document with iWork apps on iOS devices.

How to embed and open PDF files within excel

I constantly need to embed PDF files onto Excel documents as well as extract/open/view PDF files from Excel documents. I am unable to do so with a macbook, i know that there is a workaround but it's such a tedious process. Is there a software i can buy or setting that i can do so that i can embed and open PDF files easily as i need to view these files multiple times a day for work.
please advise

Download and install Adobe Reader: Adobe Reader Install for all versions
Open the PDF file using it. If security restrictions don't prevent it you could also print it.

I am new to the Apple world and yesterday i bought an APPLE IPAD (4th Gen) .. My Question is "Can we connect a flash drive to the IPAD4 and transfer pdf files to and fro"??

Hi all,
I am a newbie to the Apple World and Yesterday I bought an APPLE IPAD (4th Generation).. My primary purpose is to read pdf files on IPAD4.
I have 3 questions ..
1. Can we connect a usb flash drive to the ipad4 and read pdf files from it?
2. I am using windows since 2000 and accustomed to the file explorer and file management in it. Can I get such kind of environment in IPAD4 ?
3. Do I have to sync the IPAD too often?
Regards,
Manikanth

Sandisk has recently come out with a device
http://www.sandisk.com/products/wireless/flash-drive/
Never used it so I can't comment on whether or not it works well. There are very few devices out there that allow file transfer without going through iTunes or via the internet. IMHO, one real weakness of the iPad, great for consuming data, however not very fully featured when it comes to moving data around, especially if that data doesn't come from iTunes or other online source.
there is also a device called a WiDrive
http://www.kingston.com/us/usb/wireless
that is also a wireless drive for iPads.

How to set default to convert a document to a black and white pdf file?

I have dozens of color Word files that I need to convert to black and white pdf files on a weekly cycle. I figured out that I can do this for individual files by clicking "print", "properties", then choose the "paper/quality" tab, and then click on "black and white". However, I cannot make the "black and white" selection permanent. That is, the next file requires me to go through the same four-step process to convert a Word file to a black and white pdf file. Any suggestions on how to make the "black and white" selection permenant?

Sorry. I forgot to mention that I am using Acrobat Adobe Pro 9.4.2.

How can i save my work pdf files and personal pdf files separately in my ipadmini

Hi,
I would like some help on separating my personal and work pdf files in my ipad. Currently i saved everything in ibook but find it unprofessional when i have to show my clients my work
Is there any other way to save my work pdf files separately?
trena.c

If you still would like to use Ibooks you can add Collections. i.e.. work pdf's
View your collections, add a new one.
Now go to the pdf's you want to add to that collection and move them to the new collection you have just created.
Hope this helps.

Why can I no longer download and read .pdf files

I have never had any problems downloading and reading .pdf files until I 'upgraded' the Adobe reader to version 11. Now all attempted downloads fail because "I don't have the necessary helper application or even C:\DOCUME~1\Will-o\LOCALS~1\Temp\Back Channel II - The Vietnam Betrayal - Chaps 1&2.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. What in the world is going on and how do I fix it?
Under 'Tools - Applications - Adobe Acrobat Document, the I've selected 'Use Adobe Reader.' However since I also have Adobe Acrobat 8.3, I've tried substituting that for the Reader, but that doesn't work either. Please help.

Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

Hi,
The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
So, changing one line ought to do it:
close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set doc_count to count documents
repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
end repeat
end tell
Hope this helps.
