Apple Preview, creating multiple page PDFs

I often need to create multiple page PDF documents by using either existing images or by using a scanner. Is there an easy way to so simply choose multiple files in the finder and right-click "Create PDF from files"?
We have:
- Compress 2 items
- Rename 2 items
- Burn 2 items to disc
How about
Compress items
2
Rename items
2
Burn items
2
Create PDF from items
2
I also noticed that the cover page mostly is full size and the sup pages of the created PDF document contains a white border. Is this the printer margin that is automatically assigned to the sub pages?

Yes, and another automator for opening the sidebar automatically if a PDF contains at least 2 pages.
THANK YOU ... my Apple computer is not dumb.

Creating Multiple Page PDF Documents

I am not sure how to creat a multiple page PDF document.

Hi...
There are two ways... i think the Help offers one solution, else do a search on Google (that's how i figured it out).
Alternatively, there's a plugin you can buy called 'Multipage'... just do a search for it...

How to create multiple page pdf file

Hello,
Sometimes I need to create multiple (more precisely double) page pdf file from another pdf file to reduce the printing cost of the document. For this I crop the single page document and then print it in a double page pdf file (in landscape).
But I am still facing a problem in this regard. When I make a double page pdf the gutter (distance between two pages, left and right) is more than 1.5 inch. This is a great problem. Can anyone tell me how to reduce the gutter when making a double page pdf file (don't just suggest to crop the single page pdf, i tried this as well, I cropped using the feature "remove white margin" but still there is more than 1.5 inch between two pages)
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

When you print, select the printer properties for the Adobe PDF printer. On the layout tab is an option for the number of pages per sheet. In some versions it is listed as multi-up as I recall. I did not say to simply print from the 2-up display. It is a printer option, not a display option.

Using HP Scan Pro 7.4.5 To Create Multiple-page PDFs

I can scan in the first page fine, but when prompted as to whether I have any further pages of my document to add, HP Scan Pro won't give me a preview of subsequent pages.
Any tips?

It's not just a Final Cut Pro issue. It's iMovie as well. And it's the same component. Here's the crash log for iMovie, and it's the same in FCP.

How to create multiple page PDF from multiple jpg images?

I have three jpeg images with pixel dimensions 1008 x 1464. I wish to create a PDF file with one image per page. Apparently Preview previously performed this function, and this functionality was deliberately removed by the time of Mac OS X 10.6.
I use Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have combined the images via Gimp into one jpeg image of size 1008 x 4392, but it would be better if I could create a PDF file. I have been unable to figure out how to do this via GraphicConverter, which trial version constantly displays the 30 second "buy me" window before loading -- annoying: I once accidentally opened it, and it would not let me close the application until the "buy me" window finished...
I have been able to create a PDF file through the action of "printing" (cf. https://discussions.apple.com/message/12395021#12395021), but that reduces the image size and creates a white margin around the images (as if printing on a sheet of paper), which I wish to avoid.
Thank you for your time and help!

I drag and dropped from Finder into TextEdit, and it only copied the file path as text. From what software would I drag the images into TextEdit?
First, set the TextEdit document to Rich Text Format - you can do that via the Format menu in TextEdit. This will allow the inclusion of pictures.
Then you can either -
• Drag an image file into the TextEdit window, and a preview-sized image will be inserted. If this is too small for your purposes -
• Open the image file in Preview (or an image editor, if you choose), size the image to your liking, press Command-A (Select All) and the press Command-C (Copy) - doing this will place a copy of the image on the Clipboard. Then switch focus to the TextEdit document and press Command-V (Paste). This will place a large-size image of the file.

Multiple page PDF source in Bridge CS5

[X-posted from CS Windows]
Hello,
I am using Bridge CS5 on Windows to create multiple page PDFs from source PDF and PSD files. I can create multipage PDFs from a number of single-page source files, but when a source PDF has multiple pages, only the first page of the source PDF appears in the final PDF. Bridge recognizes that the source files are multipage in the preview window (the multipage PDF appears as a single page in the preview window, which can be paged through), but it silently omits the extra pages in the final product. How do I get all the pages to show up in the final PDF?
TIA,
Michael

I have seen the answer for this in the past 8? months, but can't remember the exact details on how to get around it. If my memory serves me correctly Bridge sees the mullti page PDF as one document which causes the problems you encountered.

Multiple page PDF's for iTunes playlists

In the past I've been able to create multiple page PDF's of playlists, but for some reason in iTunes 10.1 it will only show me the first page. At the bottom of that page it'll say page 1 of 10, but the other 9 pages do not appear in the sidebar. I also know it's not generating multiple pages because when I save it to the desktop it appears instantly instead of taking a few seconds to process many pages.
Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution?
Thanks!

When you save a PDF out of Illustrator and turn Illustrator editability on, what do you think Illustrator should do? It can only save content in its native format. For version CC, this is Illustrator CC. Illustrator CS6 doesn't know CC, so can't open it. Instead it opens the PDF part of the file, which happens to be mutliple pages.
If you need to establish this kind of workflow, you need to make sure, everyone uses the same version.
Understanding Illustrator's file formats is crucial:

Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpegs?

Using Preview, I export multiple page PDF as jpeg and results are the first page only as jpeg. Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpeg for every page?

Automator is great for this if you need to export many pages to JPG, or just have to do this often.
Two other quick and dirty way sto get it done:
(1) Enable thumbnail view, click on the ONE PAGE you want to convert to jpg, then choose "export." If you choose more than one page, only the first will get exported to jpg.
(2) Create a copy of the file, delete all the pages except the one you want to export to JPG, and export that page. You may be able to "undo" the delete, get all your pages back again, and re-delete all but the one you want to export, etc. I would not recommend doing this on the original version of the file because of Preview's autosave so-called "feature."

Photoshop Elements 11- Create and save multiple page PDF's? Software bug or new limitation?

I just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 10 to Photoshop Elements 11. One of the reasons I stayed with Adobe rather than Corel was the ability to work with multipage PDF's.
I noticed that I can't add more than one page to a project and save a multiple page PDF. I can open a multiple page PDF, but not create or save one.
Is this a new limitation, or just a software bug Adobe plans to fix?
Has anyone found a way to work with multiple page PDF's in Photoshop Elements 11?

It's a new limitation in PSE 11, for one of those mysterious adobe reasons.

Create multiple page jpgs from pdfs

Hi,
My boss has asked me to convert a large number of multiple-page pdfs into multiple-page jpgs. I have been able to convert the pdfs to jpgs in photo shop using image processor, but the processor only captures the first page of the multiple page documents and when I have been able to convert an entire pdf to jpeg, it creates individual jpg files for each separate page.
How can I convert the multiple-page pdf file to a single multiple-page jpg file?
many thanks!

There are very few raster formats that support multi-page. The only one I can think of at the moment is Tiff which is a special fax format. In that mode I don't recall if it supports color or not. I know they were talking about adding color for the newer color fax machines. As you can tell that was years ago. So I would assume the tiff fax mode has improved by now.
Since tiff and psd support layers, you could place each page on its own layer, then leave it up to the program viewing the file to determine how to switch between layers to see each page. Yeah it is a work around, but is doable.
That said, I am not up to date on all the formats and what new features they contain. So I could easily be missing a format that could be of use to you.

I need to supply a multiple page pdf download on my site...

How do I upload a multiple page pdf on my site and have clients able to link to it/find it and download it? I also want to have the pdf able to be accessed from a separate blog. Is this possible?! I have GoLive CS2.

TangledRibbon,
You can just:
1) Save it to the folder where it belongs (where you have your site on your computer);
2) Open the Site File and click any page/image/whatever;
3) Press the Refresh;
Now the PDF should appear in your site;
4) Create a link to it from one or more HTML pages, in whichever way you create links (you may just type something and turn it into a link, browsing to select the PDF);
5) Upload as usual (incremental or otherwise) to get it accessible for others.
You may link to it from anywhere else by its URL once it is there.

Single page PDF file in mail always appears in message body, instead of as an attachment, contrary to a multiple page PDF. Why?

When sending a single page PDF file in mail, it always appears as an open file in the message body. Multiple page PDF files appear as attachments. Why the difference and how to change the behavior of single page PDF files so that they appear as attachments instead of open files?

Hello billsbs,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you add a PDF to mail you see its entire contents, but when you add two or more pages Mail shows them as a document icon. To change this behavior for that specific email, please follow the instructions in the attached article.

Multiple page PDF in Illustrator CS5

I have two pages in Illustrator and I want to create a 2 page PDF file. In CS3 there was a multiple page PDF selection I could make in the save dialogue box of my Illustrator file. That feature is not there in Illustrator CS5. Is it possible to do this??
Thanks in advance

Seems more complicated then simply clicking an option. I will try it though,
Thank you.

Not really...just think of it as Page=Artboard. So,
I. If you're creating a new file to save as a multi-page PDF, in the new file dialogue choose the number of Artboards to equal the number of pages. If unsure at the outset, just choose a sufficient number... you can always add or delete later. Give the Artboard/s the size of the page you want... eg A4, A5, or custom, etc., etc. Create the matter of each page on that number artboard.
II. If you're working with an existing file, then you already have the pages created on your single artboard. So:
1. Just resize the artboard to the output size
2. Move all matter of page one to that
3 Create new artboards (2, 3, 4, etc) and just move all mater corresponding to the already created pages 2, 3, 4, etc. to the respective artboards...
