Attaching multiple pdfs made from Appleworks documents

I need to send copies of (typically about 4) AW documents in (small) pdf format as email attachments.
I could open each AW document and then Print>pdf>compresspdf and then attach the resulting files to a new email message. OK but quite tedious
I found cups-pdf that makes a virtual printer on the desktop. This allows me to drag and drop a number of the AW documents that are then batch converted to pdf files ready for attaching to an email message. OK but the resulting pdf files are too large.
So..... I then found PDF shrink that shrinks those pdf files. Clever me: I have put a droplet in the cups pdf folder and set the process to overwrite the original pdf file.
OK. So now I can select a group of AW files, drag & drop them to the virtual printer in the desktop (or dock). Open the cups-pdf folder. Select the (large)pdfs I have created and drag and drop into the PDF shrink droplet that resides in the same cups-pdf folder. Then I can attach these to a new email message.
This is as good as I can get it, Two separate group,drag & drops followed by attaching.... but wait......why can't I just select those AW (or any other format come to that) files from the 'attachment choice window' and choose for them to be automatically converted to (small) pdfs and attached in my new message. There is already a 'send windows friendly attachments' check box. Why not a 'send as pdf' check box?
If such an option already exists please guide me to it. Has anyone made an AppleScript to do this? Has anyone else wanted such a feature?

Newer versions of Acrobat Pro have a batch processing capabilities which
allow you to do it easily, in a single process.
You should consider upgrading (although your version is too old too qualify
for an upgrade, so you'll need to buy a full license).

  • Hyperlinks in PDFs made from Word no longer work

    PDFs made from Word documents containing hyperlinks used to be no problem. I can still make PDFs from Word (using the 'Save as PDF' in the print driver), and the links show up as underlined blue text, but they no longer work.
    It's been several months since I last made a Word doc with links and successfully converted it to PDF in this manner, but I can't imagine what might have changed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Try to redo the default browser (i.e make IE the default and then let Firefox do it again).

  • I am unable to attach a PDF file from Documents

    I am unable to access and attach a PDF file from Documents

    I assume you are trying to attach a PDF to an email. I can perform this task several ways.
    With a Finder window open and the PDF showing in that window, drag the PDF to the Mail app icon on the dock. This creates a new email and attaches the PDF to it. (PDFs tend to attach in inline view mode, that is you can see the entire document. To see it as a file icon right click on the PDF text and select View as Icon.)
    I can drag the PDF directly into an open new email message if both the email message and the PDF file can be seen.
    There's an icon on the Mail toolbar that looks like a paper clip. Click on it to get a file selector and drill down until you see the PDF. Select it and click OK.

  • Multiple pdf attachments from server folder using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

    Dears,
    I am trying to build a program able to send an email with multiple pdf attachments.
    The files are stored in a folder in SAP server.
    I am able to generate a pdf file from a spool and sucessfully attach it to the email using:
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
          IMPORTING
            bin_filesize           = v_bin_filesize
          TABLES
            otf                    = job_output_info-otfdata

            lines                  = it_lines
          EXCEPTIONS
            err_conv_not_possible  = 1

            SHIFT gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
            IF gd_buffer IS INITIAL.
              EXIT.
            ENDIF.
          ENDDO.
        ENDIF.
    Internal table it_mess_att_aux is the parameter contents_bin of FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
    I have now 2 files on a server folder which I would like to include as well.
    I am reading the content of the pdf files in following way:
    DATA:   gd_buffer                 TYPE string,
          OPEN DATASET lv_fileserver FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
          IF sy-subrc <> 0.
            MESSAGE e257(zmsgsd) WITH lv_fileserver.

              APPEND gd_buffer TO it_mess_att_aux.
            ENDDO.
            APPEND LINES OF it_mess_att_aux TO it_mess_att.
    I do not understand the purpose of the statement:
            TRANSLATE it_lines USING ' ~'.
    in this context. Could anyone explain it?
    All the files are attached to email with the desired name but corrupted and with the wrong size.
    Can anyone help me build the logic to attach a pdf file from server in a email?
    Thank you in advance,

  • How do you merge multiple pdf's into one document?

    How do you merge multiple pdf's into one document?

    Hi pharmovative,
    You can use the Combine PDF feature of Adobe PDF pack to combine multiple PDF files into one document. (Or, if you have the full version of Acrobat, you an do it there as well by choosing Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF.)

  • Exporting to multiple PDF's from one report

    I have a requirement to create multiple PDF's from one report.
    My thought is that I can I can create a foreach loop that cycles through one of my groups.  I would then like to have each file have the name of that group. 
    If anyone could help me on how to code this in C# that would be great.  I need to know where I should be putting this code (program.cs or crystalreport.cs) and how I run it.  I am assuming I don't need the viewer for this function, since this is all on my end and no users need to have access to it. 
    My other requirement is to have each of these reports be put into their own folders at C:\.  Thanks for the help in advance!

    OK. Yup, you should be able to do this. When I was reading the initial post it looked like you might have ben wanting to export only a certain section of a report (which is a no go).
    Anyhow, first thing you want to do is apply Service pack 3:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
    Next, you want to look at a few sample apps and go over some docs. What you want to achieve can be done by using parameters or selection formulas.
    A good coding resources is the [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Walkthroughs|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2081b4d9-6864-2b10-f49d-918baefc7a23]. Don't worry about the title, it will apply to CR 2008 also.
    Next, sample apps can be downloaded from here:
    https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
    [CR 2008 developer library|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/crsdk_net_dg_12_en.chm]
    [API reference|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/crsdk_net_apiRef_12_en.chm]
    Not sure if you are thinking of this being a web app, but here are some resources for that:
    [Interactivity and Reports in Web Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/208edbbf-671e-2b10-d7b5-9b57a832e427&overridelayout=true]
    Before starting your project, you should have a look at [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40bccdfd-88a6-2b10-1da1-c47a54b625a7] to make sure you are using the right SDK for your purposes.
    Finally, the following are links to 3rd party resources and I'm adding htese just as an FYI:

    Danny,
    Sure you csn. Don't be afraid to try this kind of stuff for yourself. If things don't work out, just Command-Z your way back to the previous state. In this case it should work just great. Once your multiple selection appears in Pages, click off the selected new objects to de-select them, then select them one at a time for positioning.

  • How do I select text from multiple pdf pages using Microsoft Document Imaging

    Why don't you ask in a MS forum? This forum is for an Adobe product and I have no idea why you are asking about Microsoft Document Imaging here.

  • Open Multiple PDF files from Production order/Routing

    Hi Everyone
    We are in ECC 6.0 environment. We have a scenario where multiple documents were attached to single operation and also at multiple operations. But when I was trying to open these PDF documents, only the last file was getting opened and closing the previous file. How can I open multiple PDF files at one time from Production order or Routing?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Regards
    Prasad

    Hi Prasad,
    from DMS standard I regret but such a functionality is not available. In the standard originals can be opened only one after another.
    I think for realising this functionality an individual modificatoin is necessary.

  • How to automatically attached multiple PDF reports to an e-mail and send

    Hello.
    I have a requirement to generate multiple PDF reports using Oracle Reports 6i on the web, then automatically attach these PDF reports to an Outlook e-mail and then bring up the Outlook e-mail dialog box so the user can modify the e-mail (such as adding more attachments, adding a CC, BC, change the message text) before sending the e-mail. I want to be able to initiate all these tasks from Oracle webforms 6i in a three-tier environment.
    I have already read various notes and solutions but none of them address all my requirements. Examples:
    1. Using OLE to interface with Outlook - but OLE does now work on the Web
    2. Using Java stored procedure or UTL_SMTP - but this does not bring-up an e-mail dialog box
    3. Using mailto: in HTML and web.show_document - but this does not allow you to attach a PDF file
    Can you please advise on possible solutions to my requirements. Thank you very much.
    Regards,
    Armando

    Here is a great resource for sending binaries.
    http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/pl_sql/htdocs/Utl_Smtp_Sample.html
    You'll want to use utl_http to run each report with a destype=file and then have another procedure running to check to see when all of your reports have finished. After they are finished, you would run the stored procedure to get all of the binaries, attach them in an email and then send it.
    If you want to concate all of the PDF files into one large file, you can do this with a Java stored procedure using iText.

  • Loading pdf file from iPhone Documents folder into a UIWebView

    I'm currently trying to include the ability for my App to download a "pdf" file from the web,... display the image in a UIWebView,.. save it to the iPhone,... and later redisplay it in the same UIWebView while "off line". I've been able to do everything but get the web view to load/display the stored pdf file. The App finds the .pdf file...
    Here's the path it finds in the Simulator...
    Image File Path: /Users/FCR/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/8E29ACDF-4A56-4AC2-BFA0-C4F8E00E1481/Documents/AD_K EWR.pdf
    ... but I'm not much into html and can't seem to come up with a url scheme to load the image. I've tried several attempts using the URL... "file:///" ... but so far haven't been able to get the file (which is in the iPhone's Documents folder) to display. I seem to be about one line short of a workable solution.
    Can anyone offer a bit of code (help) to accomplish this seemingly easy task of displaying it in the UIWebView?... It would be much appreciated!

    Can you please post the code snippet used to download and save the PDF to the iPhone? I did not know you could do that.

    Ed,... Here's the code ... I've cut and pasted from a couple different routines, but you should get the point...

    - (BOOL)downloadPDF:(NSString *)pdfFileName
    // Download a (pdf) file
    BOOL success = NO;
    NSString *urlStr = \[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://... web path to file .../%@", pdfFileName\];
    if(urlStr)
    NSURL *PDF_URL = \[NSURL URLWithString:urlStr\];
    NSMutableData *receivedData = \[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: PDF_URL\];
    if(receivedData)
    success = YES;
    NSLog(@"PDF downloaded... Save it to file: %@",pdfFileName);
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains (NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    if (paths.count > 0)
    NSString *documentsDirectory = \[paths objectAtIndex:0\];
    NSString *filePath = \[documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent: pdfFileName\];
    if(\[receivedData writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES\])
    success = YES;
    NSLog(@"Saved file: %@",filePath);
    else
    NSLog(@"Failed to save PDF to: %@",filePath);
    return success;
    }

  • Possible to create multiple pdf files from links?

    In Acrobat X Pro, is there a way to apply the option "create pdf file from link" to several links on the same website at once?.thanks

    About the closest you can get is to use the Tools > Document Processing > Web Capture > Append all links on page command, which will traverse the links and append them to your existing PDF that has been captured from a web site.
