Breaking a pdf into multiple pdf's

I have a 250 page pdf.  each page represents a departments information.  Is there a way to break apart that pdf into single pdf's but using part of the file to name the pdf?
for example, if the first report has a title that contains department 123, I could extract that page and name it department 123.
The only want I know how to break a pdf into multiple pages is to use the document / extract pages and select Extract pages as seperate files.  But when I do this it uses the name of the exiting file and adds a number to it.

You will have to select a subforum, e.g. Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs, or Acrobat SDK (since you probably need to write the functionality you want by yourself).

  • "Save as PDF" breaks up the document into multiple PDFs

    Ever since my Lion install, when I open a doc in MSWord and try to "Save as PDF", it breaks up the document into multiple PDFs, not one saved PDF. Haven't seen this problem before. Anyone else experiencing this new "feature"?

    What version of Word?  It's working fine with my Word 2011 on Lion.  (version 14.1.2.  Applied SP1 and the .2 update.)
    A workaround would be to print, then select the PDF dropdown in the lower corner of the print window.
    Otherwise, you'll probably want to ask in the Microsoft forums, as Save As is using Word's programming code, not OSX's code like it does with the print function.

    Also, i was just reading up on creating bookmarks. is there a way to set one bookmark and apply that across all other pages?
    Thanks

    Re extracting and renaming pages: This is done with a script, but it can
    only be done if your pages are consistent and the script can identify the
    text that is to be used for the file name. If you wish, you can send me
    some sample files by email ([email protected]), or share them somewhere and
    post the link here, and I'll let you know if I think it's possible.
    Re bookmarks: What do you mean, exactly? You mean you want to copy&paste a
    bookmark? No, that's not possible. But bookmarks can also be generated with
    a script.

  • Text issues merging multiple pdfs into one pdf

    Hello, when I merge multiple pdfs into one pdf document my text is missing or garbled.  I spent hours yesterday trying to figure this out, from insuring the text was embedded and print setting were correct.  Please help!!

    Acrobat Pro is the application you use for working with PDFs, making minor edits, combining multiple PDFs into a single file, extracting or replacing pages, doing fancier form work than ID has the ability to produce, and even creating PDF from a number of other file formats. I'm not sure your question about maintaining the quality of your photos is really applicable -- it would depend on how youare getting from the photo to PDF to begin with. The use of Acrobat in and of itself won't be the determiner.
    That said, I couldn't live without Acrobat Pro in my workflow. Since you are on CS5.5 you have a couple of options. You could purchase a subscription to Creative Cloud (at a discount for the first year), which would give you access not only to Acrobat, but all of the other programs and tools included in the suite, but you pay a monthly or yearly fee, or you can buy a standalone perpetual license to either Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard (I didn't realize Standard was still an option, and you might not need all the features of Pro -- you can compare at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html).

  • I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader.  I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

    If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

  • Inserting filename and page numbers into multiple PDF files?

    Have since seen this thread, BUT still interested in the syntax of the code
    to insert filename and page # into multiple files:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/951925?tstart=0
    Good Evening (GMT!)
    I have approx 100 PDFs with one or two pages in each, they are English translations
    of Russian language test certificates and the formatting/feel of the originals is lost in
    the translations. The only real link between the two sources is the "_RUS" and "_ENG"
    filename suffixes and the common leading filenames otherwise. Thus I need to maintain
    a record of the filename in any page I print off, should there be a need to refer back to
    the original if the translation is open to artistic licence.
    I have a script (below) that happily adds a page x/y and filename into the active file,
    what I would like is to be able to do this insertion into multiple files as defined by a
    portfolio or a selection via a select files dialogue box
    I am quite out of my depth now as my past skirmishes with JavaScript have set
    cookies and tweaked a few other browser doodads in webauthoring
    Any help most appreciated on this one...

    NB the filename inserted may be corrupted as a result of my last tweakings
    will sort that one out ASAP....

  • Multiple XMP Metadata into Multiple PDF

    Hi, recently I've been trying to change the xmp metadata of multiple pdf, I already tried using Bridge and some other 3rd Party Programs but the issue is that all of those solutions just change the same information into multiple files, and what I want is to change different information into multiple files...
    is there a way to load the info from a *.csv or a *.xmp
    to be more precise I'm trying to change the Title Metadata of a tons of PDF but every file has a different Title... how can I do it massively?

  • Convert multiple page pdf into multiple page jpeg

    This question was posed several years ago but not answered completely.
    I have a 7MB three page PDF document ( a scan ) that I'd like to reduce in size so that I might attach it to an email it easily.
    I've tried to "reduce file size" in Preview app's PDF export settings but that renders the document unreadable and useless.
    I've tried to Preview export to jpeg but only one page at a time gets exported. This is not acceptable. I want a single three page document.
    Otherwise I have to wait 10 minutes for the pdf to attach to my email and God only knows what the recipient thinks when they see "7MB attached document".
    BTW I've also tried adding the pdfs to a Word document but that introduced a mismatched document sizing anomaly. WHAT THE HECK!!!! Why can't this be easier???

    Anybody know if it's possible to convert a multiple page PDF into ONE TIFF file in Acrobat Pro?
    No.

  • Importing into multiple pdfs?

    Is there a solution to the following problem?...
    I can inport from a single lined excel sheet into a pdf form.
    But can I import from a multiple lined excel sheet?
    I have multiple lines in a Excel sheet (tab delimited) to go into pdf forms, set up from a template.
    Each excel line to go into a single templated pdf. (all with the same field names).
    So I will end up with multiple pdf forms each with one line from the excel sheet.
    Many thanks,
    letsgs

    It's possible, but to do it in Acrobat would require some custom JavaScript programming since there is not a built-in method for doing this. The script would have to open the template document, import the appropriate record from the data file, save the modified document, and repeat until all of the records have been dealt with.

  • How can I break a PDF into several PDFs of just a few pages?

    I have a large pdf of about 30 pages broken into several pdf's of just a few pages each.  How can I accomplish this?

    Hi drn1234,
    Bernd is right--you need Acrobat. If you don't have it, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
    Best,
