Batch secure multiple pdf files

Hi everyone,
I have around 100 separate 1page pdf files. Each of these files needs to have security applied that ensures that no changes are made, low-res printing is allowed and a password needs to be applied to prevent the security settings being changed.
Since there are so many files, I wondered if someone could tell me if there is a way to batch apply the security settings to all files at once? I'm using Acrobat X on a mac.
Would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance.

I just realised that this can be done using actions so no need for any further help.
Thanks anyway.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How to create multiple pdf files from multiple batch processing

    I have several file folders of jpeg images that I need to convert to separate multi-page pdf files. To give a visual explanation:
    Folder 1 (contains 100 jpeg image files) converted to File 1 pdf (100 pages; 1 file)
    Folder 2 (contains 100 jpeg image files) converted to File 2 pdf (100 pages; 1 file)
    and so on.
    I know I can convert each folder's content as a batch process, but I can only figure out how to do so one folder at a time. Is it at all possible to convert multiple folders (containing jpegs) to multiple pdf files? Put differently, does anyone know how to process a batch of folders into multiple (corresponding) pdf files?
    Many thanks.

    There are two approaches to do this:
    - First convert all JPG files to PDF files using a "blank" batch process. Then combine all PDF files in the same folder using another batch process and a folder-level script (to do the actual combining). I have developed this tool in the past and it's available here:
    http://try67.blogspot.com/2010/10/acrobat-batch-combine-all-files-in.html
    - The othe option is to do everything in a single process, but that requires an application outside of Acrobat, which I'm currently developing.
    If you're interested in any of these tools, feel free to contact me personally.

  • 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!

  • Downgrade multiple .pdf files to ver 5 compatibility

    I'm looking for a way to script or at least manually in bulk convert multiple .pdf files created using Acrobat pro V9 down to a Acrobat V5 compatible format.
    I have an automated OCR application that can't yet read higher than that version.
    We have several fully licensed version of Acrobat Po V9 and V8 that might help.
    If we have to we'll buy another piece of software to do it.. but I'd rather not.

    Do you have a version of Acrobat that has Batch Processing capabilities (ie. a Pro version)?

  • 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.
    Best regards,

  • How do i combine multiple pdf file into a single pdf file?

    how do i combine multiple pdf files into a single pdf file?

    The thread was started in early March and it's Mid-April, I know this very well. The OP of this thread posted a very common and simple question or maybe he/she would have resolved this. For an Adobe Acrobat user it's not at all difficult to combine multiple PDF files into one. But to combine PDF files full version of Adobe Acrobat is mainly required, otherwise PDF files can't be combined. For example, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. These simple steps are mainly required to combine PDF files:
    Open Adobe Acrobat.
    Click on Combine and click on Merge files into a single PDF.
    A window will be appearing, click on Add Files and select the PDF files you want to combine.
    Arrange the selected files in any order with the help of Move Up and Move Down button.
    Now click on Combine File and the selected PDF files will be combined within a few seconds.
    A new PDF file will be created. Click on Save As and name this new PDF file. Then, click on Save.
    A new PDF file will be created and all the selected PDF files are combined in it. The steps shown above might be different in other versions of Adobe Acrobat. Other than this, some third-party PDF merge software are also available. Most of them are available with a demo version for free evaluation. I've heard much about SysInfoTools PDF Merge software on other forums and directories and it's demo version is freely available. One may check its demo version if Adobe Acrobat (full version) is not available.

  • Printing multiple PDF files in Windows 7 at once

    When I had Windows XP I could select multiple pdf files in their folder then right click to print.  With Windows 7 this option is no longer there. I have searched everywhere for a solution to this problem.  I am not sure why Adobe (or Microsoft) took this option away.  I have to print 30 to 40 invoices a day.  I now currently have to open each individual document, print, close, and move on to the next.  This is quite cumbersome.  If anyone knows of a way around this I would appreciate the help. 
    If no solution is available does Abode know of the situation? 

    your right.  I am using Acrobat.  didn't even know I had it. I've been bugging the IT guy for Acrobat for a while.  I have no idea how long it's been installed.  I had just bugged him again last week.
    reader is still set as my default.  without even realizing it, i've only been using acrobat to combine and print large files.
    the only way to combine pdf's in reader is to use Adobe's online service which you have to pay for.
    I'm sure there's some third party software out there.    I use bluebeam to mark up pdf's.  it's free.
    don't know if it can be used to print or combine multiple files.  never tried.
    the method of dragging and dropping pdf files into the printer window does work with reader. (I checked)
    As I said, it prints the documents out of order which can be a pain.
    I found this discussion because I was searching for a way to get the documents to print in order.  Haven't found one......yet.

  • Unable to open multiple PDF files in Acrobat 9 Pro - Vista

    I have a staff member that is unable to open more than one PDF at a time.  If a PDF is currently open and another one is selected the program will crash and close.  It gives a message stating the program has crashed and must be closed and also gives an option to check online for a solution.  Has anyone else seen this issue or know a fix for it?  Thanks in advance.

    No. Starting with Acrobat 9 it is no longer possible to open multiple PDF files in the same window.

  • Convert Multiple Outlook Emails to Multiple PDF Files (Not Portfolio or Single PDF) for Archiving?

    Hi all, I am learning how to convert emails to PDF files and there is some great functionality there!!  I have not discovered how to convert multiple outlook emails into multiple PDF files (one PDF file for each email) - all at the same time (not one at a time)!!  Is there a way to do this using Acrobat X??  The purpose of this is for long-term business archiving.  When I search for an email in the archive, I do not want to pull up a portfolio containing 1000 emails or a 1000 page PDF file with multiple emails run together!!!  I want to pull up individual emails containing my search terms.  I have been searching for a way to archive emails and MS OUTLOOK .PST files are NOT the answer.  I get a lot of business emails with large attachments and I do not file my emails in separate sub-folders (by client or job).  I want to convert multiple emails (by date range) from my UNIVERSAL INBOX into multiple PDF files for long term storage (with each email being converted into its own, separate PDF file and named with the same name as the "Re: line" of the email).  This has been a HUGE problem for me....and Acrobat is sooooo close to the solution for me.  Can anyone help??  If so, will attachments be converted?  If not, is there a separate software program or add-in that I can buy that will do this??  I use MS Office 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Windows 7 64 BIT.  Thanks for your help!!

    I am a retired person and did'nt realize I already have a Adobe account, so you can scrap the entire information. Thanks for the trial anyway and have a great week.
