Can't drag in pdf pages on my MacBook (but I can on my iMac)?

I am using Keynote for the first time to create a presentation for next week. I need to bring in every page of a many-paged pdf file. I found some threads on how to do this, but was totally unable to "drag" any pages from the Preview sidebar into Keynote while using my MacBook. I tried on my new iMac and was able to. The Keynote version is the same, but my MacBook is running OS X 10.4.11 while my iMac is 10.6. Is it an issue with Preview? Can I fix it? I really need to be able to make modifications when I'm at the presentation and will only have my MacBook.
Thanks,
Caroline

I got this answered on the OS 10.4 discussions. It is an issue with the older version of Preview.

    Hello djensen1x,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
    Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
    Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
    Hope to get your response.

  • I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5.  Can this be overcome?

    I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5.  I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

    You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

  • How can I print a booklet where each pdf page is vertically placed on each half page instead of one pdf on each booklet page?

    I've printed a booklet before but each pdf page had two powerpoint slides on each pdf file.  This binder has one powerpoint slide on each pdf page and if I try to print it as a binder, each pdf page takes up the whole half-page on the booklet.  I want to print two pdf slides on each page of the booklet so when I open the booklet, there are four powerpoint slides printed.  So I basically want to combine the ability to print multiple slides per page but in a booklet form.

    Why not reconstruct the pages in InDesign they way you want the double pages to appear. There may even be an imposition script available that will do the trick. You could then output to pdf all the pages you want the full spread on. Leave the original to create the pages you wanted left as is.
    You can ask in the ID forum about an imposition script. I know there was one with CS4, there may have been one with CS3.

  • Hello Apple community... I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents.

    I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents.  When I drag the doc in a line would show up in the past, and if I went above th eline all was good.  It doesn't have a line, and no matter what I try I am having no success.
    Please help!

    According to an Apple Support article, unless there are unforeseen issues
    in file ownership or permissions, the combining of .PDFs should be simple.

  • How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro?

    How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro while maintaining page size and annotation/highlight interactivity? I've tried to use the crop tool in Acrobat Pro (9) and the page does resize, but the highlights and annotations go all over the place. I specifically need to scale the page content smaller (83%) but maintain page size and annotation/highlight to content connection and interactivity.

    An old trick (not recommended) would be to print to a new PDF with the page size selected but a scaling of the content. Only print the document, not the markup, to a new PDF. Close that PDF when done and reopen the old one (or maybe a copy of the old one for safety) and use Document Replace pages and select the new document to replace your current pages. You will then have to go back through the markup to locate it all correctly. There may be a more elegant way, but this may be the fastest.

  • I have created a pdf and then want to send it to my boss.  When he recieves it it is saved in the 14 X 8.5 inches version.  How can I saved it on my end as a 11 x 8.5 inch so he doesn't have to uncheck "Choose paper source by PDF page size"?

    Hi heathers,
    You would need to print the file to a new PDF with the appropriate page size.

  • Cannot drag and drop PDF pages in Yosemite Preview App

    I suddenly cannot drag and drop PDF pages into the open preview PDF Yosemite> Why?
    I open a PDF in preview.
    I used to be able to simply drag a PDF from the desktop (or a JPG) into that open PDF in Preview.
    Now it won;t let me?
    Is this a bug or is there a new procedure for this?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    Have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac or have any antivirus software installed?
    Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and the disk.  Reboot normally and try again.
    If the above fails reboot into the Recovery volume and reinstall the system. Repair disk permissions afterward.
    Also, as a test, log into another user account on your Mac and see if the problem persists there.  If it does then it's a system wide issue.  If not, it's an account issue.

  • Can't drag icons across pages

    I uploaded all my iPhone apps and now I'm de-cluttering the mess. Few icons move across pages and the empty pages don't close. I can't move folders across pages at all. What trick am I missing?

    It can be done, but from my personal experience it takes a special touch.  An easier way would be to connect your iPad to iTunes, open the device, click on apps and you can use your mouse to drag icons from page to page and even create folders, by dropping one app into another (when you do, a name the folder bar opens as well).

  • Where can I add PDF pages to another PDF?

    You can use Acrobat to insert pages into a PDF file. If you don't have Acrobat, feel free to give it a try. You can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • How can i define the number of pdf-pages that will be print on each page?

    Hey everyone,
    im currently working on a handout for my prensentation.
    That handout will be downloadable for everyone.
    So, here is the problem:
    I have 24 pages in pdf. I want them to fit on 4 printed pages.
    In order to have everyone exactly 6 pdf-pages each printed page,
    it'd be nice to have a pre-setting for that.
    I found some settings for duplex-print but thats not what i need.
    Thank You!
    Jo
