Batch create multiple pdf's while using epilogue.ps for setting initial view and opening bookmarks

Hi,
I'm trying to batch create multiple pdf's from word files, and use the epilogue.ps file for setting the initial view and opening the bookmarks panel, but i keep getting no satisfying result.. i'm probably missing something fundamental.
I've read some forum posts and adobe help posts explaining this, so i'm pretty sure this would be possible?
Reference:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f0f.w .html  see advanced panel options
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f14.w.html
System: Windows 7
Acrobat: Acrobat X professional
i've searched for and found a way to overwite the epilogue.ps file and have inserted the following:
%  Insert your custom PostScript here...
[ /PageMode /UseThumbs
/Page 1 /View [/Fit ]
/DOCVIEW pdfmark
After that i checked my Adobe Acrobat preferences, and in the categorie 'Convert to Pdf' i selected 'Microsoft office word' in the select area 'Converting to pdf'.
Clicked 'Edit settings' to allow creating a joboptions file (field: 'adobe pdf settings') which has the option 'Use epiloque.ps and prologue.ps' checked in the advanced section.
So now i thought i would have everyting setup to create my pdf's, however, my view isn't changed to fit, nor are there any bookmarks or in this case thumbs (i used /useThumbs) visible.
Did i miss something obvious? Is there a better way to test this? Any help would be appreciated!

i like it about that ok in how to open my site

  • Email pdf to iPad - is there a way to open multiple pdfs at one time without having to hold each individually and open with adobe reader?

    I have a large number of pdf files to send to an iPad and it is taking forever to hold down each one and then choose to open with adobe reader.  Just wondering if there is a way to select all from the email to do the same action?

    Not that i know of but an alternate would be to use something like dropbox instead of mail. Their app works very well.

  • How to batch print multiple PDFs in Mac OS X?

    Does anyone know of any new software that allows one to batch print multiple PDF files with a print dialogue for the first file, followed by dialogue-less printing for the rest?
    I work for an architect's firm and we often find ourselves printing dozens of A1 PDFs, going through the print dialogue window for each file.
    We used to be able to batch print when Preview.app could open multiple PDFs in one window; it lost this capability in a regression when it gained bookmarks and we've been living in batch print stone age ever since.
    (A desktop printer doesn't work by the way)

    Open one of the PDFs in Preview then drag the rest of the files into the sidebar. Print the resulting file. If you don't want to save it as a single PDF just select 'Don't Save' when you exit.
    Wow! I've been asking this question repeatedly for a couple of years now and you're the first person to mention this. Thanks a lot. There will be some happy campers in our office, I tell ya.
    I missed it because all the large PDFs we create include a table of contents and you have to switch to thumbnail view before you can drag and drop additional PDFs.
    With the type of files we produce It takes 30 seconds or so to add 8 files together, so it's not ideal but it's a lot faster and more convenient than Acrobat Pro or printing each file separately.
    Another option is to open the printer window and drag all the files into it. They will print automatically with no dialog box.
    This doesn't work because you can't choose the size of paper you want to print to.
    Thanks again, your first post too.

  • Changing the pdf profile of batch create multiple files in Acrobat?

    Is it possible to load another pdf profile for batch create multiple files from Acrobat? I am batching indesign pages and I need to use a high resolution pdf profile with printer marks
    The default seems to be low res rgb. Any idea if this can be done?

    it is a custom Pdf Profile but basically an X1a with a few tweeks, When I try a watch folder with distiller it just errors out all the files.

  • Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

    Post Author: markeyjd2
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Greetings forum members,
    My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
    In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records.  When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
    What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record.  The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
    Is this possible?

    Post Author: Micha
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Hi,
    you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
    Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
    First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
      oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
    Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Batch Create Multiple Files from InDesign CS5 files

  • Acrobat 9 - Batch Create Multiple Files

    Hopefully someone can help me with this problem, or at least shed some light on it for me.
    I am using Acrobat 9. I have Creative Suite 4 (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.) There is a new feature in Acrobat 9 called "Batch Create Multiple Files", which can be found in the File menu, under "Create PDF".
    This feature is supposed to create pdfs from multiple native file types, including InDesign. Acrobat uses the native application, in this case InDesign CS4, to open each file selected in the batch and then create a pdf file from it. This would be a really cool feature if I could get it to work.
    Each time I try to run this, I get an error message stating "Cannot open the document". I have an operator who can get this to work, if they use CS3 InDesign documents (she also has CS3 installed on her mac), which doesn't make sense to me because Acrobat 9 is a part of CS4.
    Is it possible that I am missing a plug-in? Has anyone experienced a similar problem, or does anyone have a solution for me?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    You should remember that Acrobat 9 Pro came out BEFORE InDesign CS4. It has not yet had an update. The release InDesign CS4 format DID NOT EXIST when Acrobat 9 Pro came out, so it cannot yet convert it.
    You'll have to wait for an update to Acrobat 9 Pro.

  • Batch create Multiple files in Acrobat X and X1 cannot convert Word 2010 with graphics

    I work for an exams board where hundreds of exam papers are produced. Once approved, these exams are converted to PDF and sent to print.  Using the Batch Create Multiple Files option is therefore essential to getting these papers print ready on time.  We have found that using this function to convert multiple Word 2010 files with graphics will not render it properly.  It deconstructs the graphics which loses the integrity of the exam paper. 
    I have trialled the same group of files on Acrobat X1 with the same result.
    Have other Acrobat Pro Users experienced the same problem?  Is there a fix?

  • Create multiple PDFs from multiple files

    Hi everyone
    I'm trying to use the "Create multiple PDFs from multiple files" function in Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.4.6) to create about 100 PDFs from InDesign CS5 files. Theoretically this would do the trick for my purpose. BUT: When running the function, it does not use the CS5 InDesign (version 7.0.3), but tries to open the files with InDesign CS3. Of course this does not work. We, as a professional working agency, have installed CS3, CS4 and CS5. Even with making the InDesign CS3 .app invisible an pushing it into the garbage bin during the process did not work. Acrobat still wants to access InDesign CS3. It is not possible to downgrade the files to CS3 files, for there are special (i.e. interactive) functions which only work in CS5. It would be more work than creating the PDFs manually, anyways.
    Does anyone have similar issues? Any ideas how to solve the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    OK, cool, I found one, which seems to work just fine.

  • Combine functionality Batch Create Multiple files and Set Security

    Greetings,
    Is there any way to combine the functionality of Acrobat Pro’s “Batch Create Multiple Files” (File (drop down) -> Create PDF -> Batch Create Multiple Files…) and running a batch process (Advanced -> Document Processing -> Batch Processing -> Batch Sequences -> Set Security)?
    Ideally I’d like to either:
    1)      Add the “Set Security” batch process to the “Batch Create Multiple Files … command located under the File (drop down) -> Create PDF
    or
    2)      Be able to create a batch process that first allows me to select the documents (Word, Excel, etc.) I want to convert into PDF files, then converts them, then runs the Set Security batch process.
    Right now it isn’t too much trouble to first “Create Multiple Files…” then run the batch process Set Security, but it would be nice to be able to do both with a single command.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    TPK

  • Getting Canon 4770 to scan multipages into a PDF file while using the document feeder

    Hi All
    I'm new to this forum.  So if I break any rules with my questions below, kindly forgive me.
    But my questions are about my Canon MF4770 printer.
    1.  Why can't I used the document feeder to scan multiple pages into one PDF file?
    2.  Why do I have to constantly select the remote scanner option when the printer is connected to my computer?
    Any help I can get will be very appreciated.
    Starlene

    Hi Starlene and welcome to the Canon forum,
    The ability to scan multi-page documents can depend on your operating system and version, and if the scanning software being used supports the feature.  However, the MF Toolbox application that accompanies your laser product offers this option when scanning via a USB connection to your computer.
    For example, if you are using Windows, below are the steps that would be performed:
    1.  Place documents.
    Note: Up to 35 documents can be loaded in the feeder.  Be sure to fan the stack, place it face up, and align the document guides to the width of document.
    2. Press [SCAN].
    3. Press [^] or [v] to highlight <Remote Scanner>, and then press [OK].
    The machine is now waiting to be scanned.
    4. Double-click the [Canon MF Toolbox 4.9] icon on the desktop.
    The MF Toolbox starts.
    5. Click [PDF].
    Select [PDF (Multiple Pages)] in [Save as Type].
    7. Specify the required settings as needed and click [PDF Settings].
    The [PDF Settings] dialog box appears.
    8. Specify the required settings as needed and click [OK]:
    [Create Searchable PDF] Converts the characters in the document to text data and makes the PDF document searchable with keywords.
    [Text Language] Select the language of the text to be scanned. The characters may be recognized more accurately if you select [English] from the drop-down list and set [Image Quality] to [300 dpi] or higher in [Scanner Settings].
    [PDF Compression] Select [High] for color images such as photos or illustrations to reduce file sizes.
    9. Click [Start].
    Note:
    A folder with the scanning date will be created in the [MY PICTURES] folder in the [MY DOCUMENTS] folder, and your document will be saved in this folder. If there is no [MY PICTURES] folder, the folder with the scanning date will be created in the [MY DOCUMENTS] folder and your document saved in this folder.
    For text documents or black-and-white documents, it is recommended you select either [BLACK and WHITE] or [GRAYSCALE] in [SCAN MODE].
    If making a Multiple PDF with color documents ([IMAGE QUALITY] set to [300 dpi]), it is recommended that the PDF have fewer than 20 pages.
    The MF toolbox can be loaded from your software CD or downloaded here from the "Drivers & Software" tab on the Canon USA website.
    I can understand some confusion on having to select "Remote Scanner" when you have a direct computer connection to your product.  The reason for this is that first, the "Remote Scanner" mode refers to seeing your computer as a stand alone, or remote, device; however, the "Computer" scanning mode option allows you to select which computer will be performing a scan when doing so over a network (Max: up to 10 computers).
    Another reason for having to select the scan mode is that the selection is not programmed but selected based on the type of scan you will be performing at the time.
