Batch match merge pdf documents from different sources

Hello,
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro and I'm new to Acrobat in general.
I have 500 clients who I want to send hard copy reports.  There are 500 pdf files with graphs/data, and 500 pdf files that are customized business letters.  They could be printed out and hand collated but I would like to automate a merge of the graphs pdf, and the letter pdf, for each client.
There is flexibility in how the files can be named, if that data can be used to match.
Any help would be appreciated.

Without seeing the documents it's not really possible to diagnose what the issue might be.  You can try running Preflight on your documents to see if they meet the specification or have problems that Preflight can find.  It may not find all of them.   The best way to make sure that you have document links that work is to do the combining on a single platform and then build your bookmarks from there.   Acrobat has some great abilities but there are several third party plug-ins that add bookmark features (i.e. Evermap Autobookmark ) that Acrobat doesn't have so you can look for things like that to aid you in buiding a complex bookmarked document.  Good luck!

  • 1014:1014: error I keep getting when trying to open PDF document from online source.

    need help trying to resolve 1014:1014 error when I open online PDF documents

    Hi Christoph,
    The problem is elsewhere, I asked the user to log in at a different workstation and she is able to display documents from SAP at another PC. So the problem is not in SAP but either with the SAPGUI or in Windows...
    I requested a SAPGUI reinstall, we'll see whether that solves the problem.
    But it is certainly not related to DMS.
    Thanks,

  • Display only 1 record using uploaded PDF document from 3rdparty Website

    Hi,
    Any help will be very much appreciated....
    I'm trying to create my first BI publisher report using a PDF document from 3rd party website. I want to populate the name from EMP table to one of the fields in the PDF doc.
    Here's the steps I've done:
    1. Created and saved a data set using only the ENAME column of EMP table. 14 records are available from the table.
    2. Run xml output and then save as sample data.
    3. Downloaded the PDF doc from the 3rd party website (government form - US Custom Form 7512).
    4. Using Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, I mapped the element name (ENAME) from my input XML file to the Name field.
    <output type="data-structure" >
    <dataStructure tagName="DATA_DS">
    <group name="G_2" source="Employee" label="G_2" >
    <element name="ENAME" value="ENAME" dataType="xsd:string" label="ENAME" breakOrder="None" fieldOrder="1"/>
    </group>
    </dataStructure>
    </output>
    5. Uploaded the revised PDF document to BI publisher.
    6. Created and saved the report.
    7. When I viewed the report in PDF, only 1 page is displayed. I'm expecting to see 14 pages because I have 14 records from the table EMP.
    Any report properties that I need to change to allow me to view all the records from the EMP table?
    Version of BI and Adobe
    Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0
    Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4

    There could be an issue with the Loop. I guess your Template is looking at the first record only and not reading through all the records.
    Try to get the BI Publisher Desktop tool. Using this tool you can merge PDF document and XML to see the output from your local PC/Laptop. It will be easy for you to debug.

  • HT1296 how do I transfer a PDF document from my laptop to my Ipad?

    Hello
    how do I transfer a PDF document from my laptop to my Ipad?

    To copy PDFs to the iPad you first need an app on the iPad that supports PDFs - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the PDF to your chosen app will depend upon what the app that you have/get supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.
    For PDFs there are free apps such as Apple's iBooks app (syncing PDFs to iBooks) and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader.

  • Merge PDF Documents

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Acrobat XI
    I have a PDF Cover Letter, containing recipients, created from Word mail merge and using Excel as the datasource.  One recipient details per page.
    I have another PDF Legal letter, that cannot be edited, and cannot include an address or the normal method of PDF merges, hence the requirement for a cover letter.
    Can I create a new merged PDF document, for each recipient / page in the cover letter, and add the Legal letter after each cover page?
    Cover_Letter.pdf                               Legal.pdf
    Page 1 - Recipient 1                         6 Pages
    Page 2 - Recipient 2
    Page 3 - Recipient 3
    New.pdf
    Cover Letter - Recipient 1
    Legal Pages
    Cover Letter - Recipient 2
    Legal Pages
    Cover Letter - Recipient 3
    Legal Pages
    etc!
    Many thanks
    Larry

    Hi Bill
    Many thanks for your reply.  The Insert option is available, but by the looks of it, it cannot insert the document multiple times.  Having to do this manually for the 10 recipients in my test doc is painful enough.  The usual recipient list can be 100+!
    Cheers

  • When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

    When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

    When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that.  Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
    It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

  • Is there a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying?

    Does anybody know a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying? All this within the OS possibilities? Is there a way?
    know one can buy expensive programmes like from Adobe, but I use it so little that I would like a cheaper solution. Freeware would be great, shareware also.
    Any suggestion grateful received.

    No way to do that using the OS (although the entire pdf can be encrypted, once the password is applied the document is open for copying/printing).
    However, the freeware PDFLab does allow password protection, the 'owner' pw allows full access, the 'user' pw can be restricted for printing, copying, etc:

    This can also be done with Adobe's Create PDF Online, but the above is free, and works well.
    Hope this helps...

  • My iMac is networked to a brother printer with automatic duplexing capability.  It will double-side documents from all sources except from Word.  I can't find anywhere in Word to change the settings.  Any advice?

    My iMac is networked to a Brother Printer that is capable of duplex printing.  I can print duplexed documents from every source so far except Word.  Nothing in the pre-print dialogue boxes gives me the choice to double side.  In the same place that I am given the choice to double-side when printing from other sources, Word only offers 'collated'.  Any advice?

    Thanks.  It worked!  It sure seems like a complicated way to go about duplexing that takes only one step with every other source but Word, though, doesn't it?  Anyway, that's not your problem and you solved mine.  Much appreciated.

  • How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

    How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
    Thanks.

    You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
    Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
    Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
    Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
    After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
    Default: PDF/A 1-b
    Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
    Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
    Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
    Check the following check boxes
    View Adobe PDf Results,
    Add Document Information,
    Rely on system fonts only,
    Delete Log files for successful jobs.
    Select OK
    A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
    I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
    Hope this will help.

    Hi.
    Does this only open on that specific site?
    In any case, you may want to:
    - instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
    - reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
    - install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)
