Combine parts of 2 documents into 1

How can I cut out a paragraph from 2 separate documents and paste them into a single document? Thanks!

You can try using the Add Text & Images tool, but this is really not a task
that should be performed on a PDF file. You need to create a new file (in
Word, InDesign, or whatever) and then convert that file to a new PDF.

Using Preview to combine pages from different documents into a new document

I'm trying to create a single new pdf document by combining selected pages from several other pdf documents. However, when I drag pages from the older documents into the new one they retain the source file name. Then when I save the new document only the page that is active at the time of the save is actually saved.
Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? If so, what should I do that I'm not doing?
Thanks,
Eric Weir

Thanks, Jeffrey. Sounded pretty straightforward. And it actually is -- once you get the hang of it. I had a couple attempts at "doing it" before I got it to work for me. At one point dragging a page to another location copied it instead of moving it. And at one point a page drug onto the new document somehow got identified there as a separate document that I knew was not going to get saved with the rest of the document.
Either of these situations could have been salvaged if there was a way to delete a page from a document. I couldn't find one. Is there one?
Anyway, I've got my document now. So thanks for your help.
While I'm at it, I should say I never woulda found this solution on my own. There was no clue to it that I could find in the Preview help file. So double thanks.

JTextPane: Insert one (part of) a Document into another

Hi,
I am writing a small programm which user a JTextPane and a
StyledDocument with
an RTFEditorKit.
Now I have the problem that I want to get one Document, transport it
over
a network and insert it into another Document.
The only method in Document to insert sth needs a string but I have a
Document.
So my question is: How can I insert one Document into another or at
least append
one Document to another?
Thanks
Frank

Hi, it is much more simpler than i thaught.
use the getLength method of the Document-Interface.
e.g.:
                InputStream in1; // Streams of your Files
     InputStream in2; // Streams of your Files
     RTFEditorKit rtf = new RTFEditorKit();
     Document doc = rtf.createDefaultDocument();
     try{
         rtf.read(in1, doc,0);
         int x = doc.getLength();
         rtf.read(in2,doc,x);
     }catch(BadLocationException ble){
     }catch(IOException ioe){
     }use this value in the read-method as pos and your second doc is concated to the first.
Or any other pos you like.
Hope this is what you are lokking for.
Greetings Michael

How to combine three PDF documents into one PDF document ?

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to combine 3 PDF documents into One PDF document, let me explain clearly.
I have developed two Adobe forms in T.code SFP and I have one PDF docuement which is stored in DMS (T.code CV02n), and now I want to combine these three PDF documents into one pdf.
I have tried below link, but only 50% can able to do my requirement.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/404e4dc1-a79c-2d10-a7b5-9a266dfed9cb?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
Is there any best solution to fix this.
Best Regards,
Naresh Kumar.

Hi Lukas,
Thanks for your response on this.
Krisztian's solution will work/merge only for Adobe forms created in T.code SFP but can't merge with the pdf document which is sitting in CV02N (This doesn't have Adobe form name in T.code SFP), this is what I understood.
And one more bad news is we are not able to install that unix file in our client system, it is not compatable.
Best Regards,

How Do I combine 2 InDesign Documents into 1 (in a very particular way)

How do I combine two InDesign Documents into one in a very specific way.
Here's my problem: I have two separate InDesign CS5 files for playing cards. File one is the front. File two is the back.
The company that does my final print production needs the the cards sent as two separate PDFs. One for the card fronts, one for the card backs. Both of these InDesign (and the PDF export) files are arranged in the same way: page 1 is card #1, page 2 is card #2, etc. Nice and simple.
However, I use a different company for producing prototype versions of the decks (the production printer can't do this economically). My prototype producer needs me to send a single PDF where page 1 is Card #1 Back, page 2 is Card #1 Front, Page 3 is Card #2 back, Page 4 is Card #2 front, etc.
The decks I am building usually run 56 cards, but can be as large as 180 cards.
So, what's the easiest way to automate this process? is there a way to combine two separate indesign files by "interleaving" the pages from the two original documents into a new larger document (where I could do a new PDF export)? Or, is there a better way to do this in Acrobat Pro? At the moment I have to resort to drag and dropping each card from one PDF thumbnail pallet to the other. It's really time consuming and mind-numbingly boring. Any Ideas?

This script is actually pretty straightforward, so it's a good first
challenge I think.
I would script this in InDesign -- probably because I'm more familiar
with InDesign scripting.
To start learning the InDesign scripting basics, open the ExtendScript
Toolkit (ESTK) which is almost certainly installed on your computer
already. Go to the Help menu, and you'll find an entry there called
Adobe Intro to Scripting. Read that. I think that's the best place to start.
For the script in question, you would want to:
1. make sure both InDesign documents are open. They would both have the
same number of pages. (No scripting involved here, just make sure
they're open before running the script.)
2. loop backwards through the collection of document pages of one of the
documents. (document.pages is the collection you're looking for)
3. use the move() method of a document page to move it. (myPage.move())
4. Learn about the LocationOptions enumerator so that when you move the
page you can tell InDesign if you want to move it before, or after
another page. (LocationOptions.AFTER or LocationOptions.BEFORE)
5. Get a reference to the page in the second document before (or after)
which you want to move the page in the first document.
5. that's basically it
I suggest that as you work your way through this (if you decide to take
up the challenge), you post any questions you may have on the InDesign
Scripting forum here.

Combining two sales documents into one billing document

Hi Friends,
I need to combine two sales document into one billing document. Header data is same in both sales document.
I have set factory calendar in the payer master.
Tried for data transfer rotine at copy control of item level. But was not sure which routine to be set.
Please let me know, what all settings are required to create one combine billing document.
Regards
Suman

Hi,
Is it delivery based billing or order based billing?
2 orders / 2 deliveries and 1 invoice.
For the above situation you need to write a routine which eliminates document number difference for Reference and Allocation.
If you do not have different customer purchase orders for these two sales orders and in your copy control from delivery to billing your assignment and reference numbers are blank then system will club these deliveries and create one sales order.
Else you need to eliminate these by writing a copy control routine and assign it at the header level.
Hope this helps. Pl. revert in case of further clarifications.
Thanks
Krishna.

Possible to scan a document into Acrobat XPro,then replace part of that PDF with text or image file?

Hi everyone,
Is it possible first to scan a paper document into Acrobat X Pro, and then to replace a "pane" or box within that PDF with a text or image file?
Would it require SDK and Javascript?
Thanks,
Rick Weinhaus

CtDave and others:
Here's the problem in more detail.
I am a physician and I already have the ability to incorporate paper-based
documents into an electronic health record (EHR) by scanning them and
saving them as PDFs. The documents are paper patient encounter forms with
a different box or 'pane' for each category of data. Each box has a fixed
location on the paper form.
There are three situations, however, where I want to have the option to
overwrite certain boxes of the PDF with data generated by methods other
than scanning.
1) Insert text macros with variable fields using the electronic health
record's software.
2) Insert a drawing available as a pre-existing JPG or generated by using a
tablet.
3) Insert text generated using Dragon Naturally Speaking.
For efficient office workflow, in all three cases the text or image to be
inserted into the box or 'pane' in the PDF needs to be generated while I am
still seeing the patient -- that is -- before the paper form has been
scanned and converted to a PDF.
The sticky note tool is one option, but I would want to be able to modify
the default size of the sticky note so that it corresponded exactly to the
size of the box it was 'overwriting.' I can't figure out how to do this?
Could it be done using scripting?
Furthermore, I would want the sticky notes to automatically display when
the PDF was opened, so that a hover would close rather than open them. This
sticky note method would have the advantage of allowing the user to toggle
back and forth between inserted data and any original handwritten text.
Any thoughts?
Rick

MIME Partial messages - unable to combine parts to create the origional pdf

Hi:
I have a scanner/printer emailing a pdf document to an imap mail account I check with mail.app. The printer is set to break up mail messages into 5mb segments - this allows mailing of documents to some companies that restrict mail messages sizes.
I did read through the threads in this list on this subject - none were solved, but appeared to be waiting for more information, I hope what I have collected below will help in this type of problem.
If this is no longer an option within mail.app, I may be able to script it in perl, called from applescript. Perl have a module to decode MIME parts.
For this particular message, it broke up the document into 3 parts.
mail.app message window:
Partial message, part 1 of 3
To read this message, select all of the parts of the message and select the Message --> MIME --> Combine Messages menu item.
The text "select all of the parts of the message" is not included in the raw messages and therefore must be generated by mail.app itself.
Message --> MIME does not exist in mail.app version 2.1 (or 1.3)
Is there a way within mail.app to append/combine three mail messages

If you do a search of the help in Acrobat with "merge files" you come up with at least 2 different solutions.

How can I paste a pdf of a Publisher document into Pages so I can edit?

I have been asked to print a document that was created in Publisher on a PC. I have been sent a pdf of the document, which is A4, printed both sides, with four A6 text boxes on each side, with the same artwork and text in each box. The trouble is, the layout is wrong so when it is cut into four the margins are not even. I have Acrobat 7.0 Standard (which is know is very old) but I haven't used it much and can't work out how to edit the pdf. At the moment all I can do is copy and paste the entire document into Pages but then I can't extract just one A6 text box from the rest. If I could do that it would be a breeze to set it up correctly in Pages so that it works when cut into four A6 pieces. When I go to Get Info it says it is not locked and I have permission to read and write.
Can anyone explain these things to a beginner, please?
Thanks!

Chris
There are several ways we can go about this.
*1. In Adobe Illustrator* you can open the pdf file directly and chop out the bits you don't want and resave them individually. There maybe problems with fonts not being embedded as it comes from a PC where such things are mostly verbotten.
*2. In Acrobat* you can do some editing and avoid the fonts issue. But the procedure is a bit more involved.
If it helps, you need 2 things:
+Menu > Tools > Advanced Editing > Select Object Tool+ and
+Menu > Split Document… / Crop Pages…+
Using this you can unpick the pdf file removing the parts you don't want. Not as simple as it sounds because you need to understand why some objects select with others and why some are unselectable which has to do with grouping, masking and compounding.
*3. In Preview* cut apart the multiple pages and parts of each page. To split the multiple pages you will have to open the set and then delete the pages you don't want and save the remaining page with a new name.
To delete a page click on it in the sidebar and hit delete.
To crop a page use the +Select Tool+ in the top of the window and drag around the part of the page you want then +Menu > Tools > Crop+ and resave with a new name. Be aware this does not actually get rid of anything outside the select it just crops the view of it.
*4. Which brings us to Pages*. Having divided the pdf into individual page files you can then drag them into Shapes on your page the size of the parts you want to show.
When you click on the shape with page in it a little bar shows up underneath with +Edit Mask+. Click on the +Edit Mask+. You will see the shape, which is the mask, gets a grey dotted outline with white resizing boxes on the corners and mid points. If you need to adjust the crop or size of the shape drag on these.
Behind the shape outline is the image with the cropped parts outside shown greyed out. The greyed out part is the hidden part. If you click outside the shape but on the greyed out part of the image you select the image itself and can pull at its corners or sides to change its shape. Or if you just click on the greyed part of the image you can move it around so that it moves relative to the shape cropping it.
If you have several sections to be shown in each shape, you can move them one at a time to show each one. Say you have 4: 2 top and 2 bottom, option drag the shape with the picture in it to make 4 copies. Then in each one pull the image to reveal in turn top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right.
Do this till you have all the parts separated and rearrange them where you want.
*A bonus tip:* Cut out a step by opening Preview, next to Pages, with the multiple pages showing in the sidebar. You can drag the pages from the sidebar directly into the shape in Pages, without having to divide the .pdf.
Any further questions just ask.

How can I [cmd]+A including text boxes? Or how to import one Pages document into another Pages document?

Hi there,
I am working on my thesis with several Pages documents (for the first time). And I really have searched all over the Internet to find an answer to exactly my question but I cannot find it.
First my question was: How can I import one Pages document into another one? I found the answer on that (I think) and there is nothing else than just make a new section and copy/paste it in.
But then another issue pops up: I cannot [cmd]+A my whole document including the texboxes to paste it in the other Pages document. Then the document will be paste without the textboxes (and I have quite a lot of them in that document) and the text will not be at the right place.
So please explain to me: How I can combine two Pages documents and keep them exactly the way they are? Is that even possible?
I thank you so much in advance!

Hi Fruhulda,
I have already tried to mark the textboxes in line but that did not work, and besides then the text and the boxes won't be at the rigt places either. Thank you for your reply .

Adobe Acrobat 9/Win7 - Inserting Word documents into PDF file intermittently leads to missing or garbled text?

Heya.
I have a user who is creating a PDF essentially compiled from inserting word documents into the position she wants inside of the PDF.
The problem is that sometimes this leads to missing or garbled text. For example, 6-8.1 is displayed as 6- .1. Which is just plain weird.
Other times, the text looks garbled or uneven. She turned off her PC but I took screenshots of both of these scenarios. I fear that I am not going to be able to retroactively fix the corruption in this document for her.
She says she's using very standard fonts. Like Arial. I asked if she could locate the original Word document that produced the garbled text, just for a sanity check. The problem is that her co-worker may have been the only one with that particular word document (there are probably hundreds which compile this PDF...) and IF she has it, she might not be able to locate it on her PC TO check what the original text is. Yikes.
Google-fu turns up very little. I tried the guidance in this document - https://answers.acrobatusers.com/We-combine-PDF-document-ends-corrupt-What-problem-q197619 .aspx[2] and a Save-As but no avail.
This also turns up but is not applicable to Acrobat 9 I believe: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobatineducation/2010/02/get_rid_of_that_bloat_in_your.html[3]
She states that she can manually fix the document but after a while it gets corrupted again? But I haven't observed that and she might have just fed me that to amplify the problem.
I will be able to post screenshots when she turns on her computer tomorrow.

Here are the two instances of corruption we have come across.
http://imgur.com/nPztMYm
http://imgur.com/wHM12e2
Edit: A LITTLE MORE INFO. I am able to select the corrupted text, paste it into Notepad with all the characters intact. So the characters are THERE. they are just not being displayed correctly.
Edit: They also do not print correctly. The page prints with characters missing, and she wants to print this document, so that is going to be an issue.

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.
Regards,
Barry

I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto. You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone. How do you turn your document into a jpeg now.

I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto. You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone. How do you turn your document into a jpeg now?

If you chose print, you can save as PDF. If you open the saved PDF in preview, you can save as JPEG, GIF, PNG. FYI you can crop in preview.
Another option is you could use command + shift + 4 to do a screen shot of a specific part of of the screen.

Can I append an XML Document into another?

I have a large xml document which I open into coldfusion (mx
7), and then a smaller group of files that are opened into thier
own xml objects. After some customization of xml text values, I
want to append the smaller xml documents into the larger document
at specific positions within the document tree.
I have the code that I thought would do this, using an
arrayappend function, but what happens is that only the root
element of the smaller (inserted) xml document is placed into the
main document.
Is this possible, or do I need to modify the code so that the
entire tree of xml data that I am appending is created on the
fly?

Personally I do this with XSLT.
