Combining Pages Files

Suppose I have two Pages documents:
1) multipage.pages, a multipage document
2) onepage.pages, a 1-page document.
Each of them consists of both text and images.
How can I add onepage.pages to multipage.pages so that it becomes
another page of multipage.pages? I've searched the Pages User Guide, Pages help, and the Apple
website without finding any information on this. I suppose I could copy
onepage.pages and paste it into a new blank page in multipage.pages, but
I'd like to find a more direct way, if there is one.
Why not simply create the 1-page document as a page in the multipage
document in the first place? I'm about to take over as newsletter
editor for a club, and I plan to use Pages (small, simple newsletter; no
great sophistication needed). If someone else sends me a finished
article as a Pages file, I'd like to be able to insert it directly into
the newsletter. (Hasn't someone else done this already?)
I thought this might be a relatively common thing, but so far I haven't
been able to find any information. Suggestions are welcome.

You can:
+Menu > Insert > Choose… > browse to the file which must be txt, rtf, pdf, and some others (experiment)+
Oddly enough not other .pages files. Ah, Apple!
Mostly just open the documents side by side and select-drag in what you want, or copy and paste. You can also drag in files/snippets from the desktop.

  • Combining Pages files into a single PDF file

    I have produced a 6 page quarterly newsletter (containing texts and images and printed on one 11x17 sheet and 1 8/5x11 sheet)) for a small volunteer organization (Friends of the Library). Separate files now have been extracted from my page-layout template.
    I now want to give them in a *single PDF flle* to the web master of our organization’s web page for posting in serial-order display.
    Nothing I’ve tried by way of cutting and pasting these files into any word processing document (preliminary to PDF-ing them) seems to work in any satisfactory way.
    What to do?

    Hi RHPC
    Welcome to the forum.
    You can combine pdfs in the Preview application.
    Just open them in Preview and open the thumbnail sidebars.
    +Menu > View > Sidebar+
    then drag the thumbnails into one pdf and resave that.

  • Combining Pages Files into a single document

    I have looked for an answer to this but have not found a suitable solution. It's a pretty straightforward question. I have about 10 articles written in Pages and I need to basically compile them into a kind of book format (single document, continuous page numbers etc.). I know how to do this in MS Word, but can't work out how to do this in Pages. It is essential that I put this together in Pages because some articles have special formatting with end notes, images, sections etc. that can't be lost or messed up.
    Thank you for your help!

    Try *Swift Publisher* by Belight Software:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18896/swift-publisher
    This behaves exactly as you would expect.
    You can grab pages in the thumbnails and freely shuffle them. You can also drag the thumbnail pages between documents. Using cmd-shift you can even do this with out-of-sequence pages.
    There are plenty of other features as well that Pages lacks and it has a much better written and direct interface without the confusing convolutions of Pages.
    As a bonus you get crop marks and the ability to impose exported files.
    The templates are not up to Pages' standards but there is nothing stopping you recreating exactly what you have in Pages.

  • Size of pages in combined pdf files

    How can I keep the combined pdf files from changing sizes in the newly created pdf. If the combining tool doesn't allow me to save the original pdf file size, it's of very little use to me. Can someone help me ?

    You are saying that the PDF pages change size when combined? Ok, what were the sizes before and after? You can check the exact size by holding the mouse at the extreme bottom left of the page until the size appears.

  • Combining multiple pages files into one file?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I really did try to find the answer both in the Pages documentation and the forums and couldn't find even a similar question!
    I have a 90+ page document I created that contains many photo's, and other graphic elements. Because it was increasing incapacitating my computer, I decided to break the document up into separate files broken up by chapter. Now I have approximately 10 different Pages files that I would like to merge into 1 file, mainly to add page numbers. For the life of me, I do not see a simple way to combine these files into one. Can someone please help? Thank you in advance!

    It's a common enough question that I saved my first response to such a question & modify & reuse it as needed. The problem with searching these forums/fora is guessing the exact word to use.
    Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

  • Hiding filenames when combining multiple files into a single .pdf

    I'm fairly new to this Acrobat X. I'm trying to assemble my portfolio to distribute to employers but I cannot seem to get rid/hide the filenames in the final pdf file. I was using the option to 'combine multiple files into a single pdf' because I was compiling images and documents to a single readable pdf file. I got all that done but once I open it, I'd see that each page would still contain the original file names rather than page numbers - which I prefer not to have employers see for the sake of tidiness (and I refuse to use the Adobe portfolio because it's not really efficient on space or design. I prefer a simple page-by-page pdf). So I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to hide my file names, change them into page numbers or getting rid of them all together so the 'Table of Contents' in the pdf preview mode would not show anything, I would really much appreciate it.
    -Ss

    Well, when the .pdf is in the final, deliverable form; I open it in Mac preview mode and the sidebar is always extended showing a 'table of contents' rather than having each document in the pdf file have a number designating a page name, it shows each individual filename the pdf is composed of. Not too sure about bookmark, though. Thanks for the reply!
    If you want, I can send the file to you.

  • Merge and Combine PDF files in a numerical order

    Greetings!
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat to create a photo LookBook or an eBook. I'm importing and merging straight from .JPEG's and Acrobat work's great. The JPEG's are sorted by capture date, renamed and numbered as such: "10_File.Name.jpg". However, once I attempt to merge over 100 files I noticed that the numerical order of the file names is wrong. You'll notice in the example below that when viewed by name, the three digit numbers begin after 10. Well, in this example it's twelve. This affects to page order of the combined .PDF file. How can I maintain consistent name order to avoid assembling the finished ebook by implementing two workflow steps. Meaning the first step to combine the double digit numbers, then the second step to combine the three digit numbers. What can I do to resolve this issue?
    Greatly appreciated!

    Try it with a leading zero ( 003_, 007_, 008_, 010_, 011_, and 012_ ).
    Be well...

  • Combine supported files... problem (Word 2007, Acrobat 9, Windows 7)

    Windows 7; Word 2007; Acrobat Pro 9
    Print > Adobe PDF within Word produces pdf file that faithfully reproduces the Word file (that is, this process works as expected).
    RClick context menu 'Combine supported files in Acrobat' produces output characterized by incorrect letter spacing and incorrect typeface (font) output among other issues.
    Various possible resolutions have been tried with no success (PDFMaker option changes, output resolution (dpi) changes and so forth).
    The same results are obtained when using the combine feature from within Acrobat Pro.
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Footnotes in tables were the problem with my doc as well.  I tried the option of saving the doc as a Word 2003 file, but it didn't help.  I chatted with Adobe Customer Service and was provided this fix:
    In Word 2007, click on the Acrobat ribbon
    In the "Create Adobe PDF" panel, click on "Preferences"
    In the "Settings" tab, under "Application Settings," UNCHECK the box next to "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF"
    After that, I was able to create the PDF, and the table of contents and external hyperlinks all worked.  The footnotes were no longer hyperlinked, but since they're on the same page as the items they're referencing, that's not really a problem.  Cheers,

  • Acrobat 7 freezes when combining multiple files

    I'm running Acrobat 7 Standard, and whenever I attempt to combine multiple PDF files acrobat will freeze up completely. It can scan, and add pages to an open document with no trouble. It will freeze whether I choose Create PDF From Multiple Files within acrobat, or if I select multiple files in windows explorer, then right click and choose Combine in Acrobat...
    I have cleared temporary files, repaired the program, and completely reinstalled the program. Even after a fresh reinstallation, it will lock up when trying to combine multiple files. It does everything else just fine.
    I am running a HPCompaq dc5100 MT, with Windows XP Pro. I have 2GB ram, and a P4 3.2Ghz processor. I also have a database program called Laserfiche that I run, though this problem occurs whether I have Laserfiche open or not. I've already tried killing all acceptable processes (minus adobe's of course) and recreated the error. I've also tried this with the most recent update 7.1.0 and without: both yeild the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Dear all,
    I think I have the same problem... or not ?!
    => When I try to open multiple files at the same time it opens only the 2 or 3 first ones then it freezes on the Spinning Beach Ball of Death !
    => Then it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign.
    => I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use cmd+alt+esc to close the program
    => then, the files open directly on indesign when I open the program again (jus as if the files had been loaded and ready to go)
    I am working on MAC OS X (10.7.3)
    Anybody could help please ?? (sorry for my english... I'm a French native speaker) 

  • Since I upgraded to Yosemite, Image Capture does not combine pages in to one PDF document

    Ever since I upgraded my OS to Yosemite, in my Intel iMac, I have not been able to combine the scanned multiple pages of a document into one PDF file using Image Capture, even though the option to combine pages is checked off. It makes multiple PDF files of these pages. Furthermore, I have even tried to use Preview to combine these individual pages into one document and save it into one file but it will only save one page. Is anyone else having the same problem? If so has anyone found a solution to this problem? Please help. It was wonderful to be able to do this in Maverick. Thanks.

  • Save as window pop up serveral times while printing ONE file, and need to combine 2 files after print. Why??

    I am using Acrobat 8 Professional.  I was trying to print 3 worksheets from Excel file to PDF file, after I selected the Adobe PDF printer driver, the save as window pop up, I click save after I place the file name, after the pdf generated 2 pages, the save as window pop up again, I need to save the file in different name. After the print job is done, I need to combine two file manually without any error.  Please find the attached file to try.

    I have experienced this same problem with multipage excel files.  Try this: instead of using 'print' then 'acrobat', create the pdf by choosing 'Adobe', then 'Create pdf' from excels ribbon (at the top).  I use Excel 2007 so the same solution may not work for you.  Best of luck.

  • Finding in a Combined PDF file -- which PDF has each find

    I have created a combined file of some 20 PDF files. I now wish to find text across this combined file. I find these as expected and all  I see is the page number within the combined file. This is of no value to me. I would like to know how I display the individual PDF filename for each of my finds?

    If you've combined pages into a single PDF then the concept of "the individual PDF filename" doesn't mean anything anymore. The combined sections don't know where they came from.
