Compressing a pdf file created from a pages document

i have a file i need to send that is 5 MB. I have the new MacBook Pro. Normally I create the file in pages and then save it as a pdf, but it is too large to e-mail. there seems to no longer be the compress as pdf option. any suggestions?

Select the lower quality setting when Exporting to PDF.
It helps to trim and resize the resolution of any images before placing them into Pages as well.

I am unable to open PDF files created from another PGM.

Is there an ADOBE pgm that will properly read in PDF files created from another pgm and convert them to ADOBE PDF so they do not error when they are opened to be viewed by ADOBE pgm?

There is no way to know all the different scan/fax/pdf printers that are used to make the original PDFs...
CAD-KAS PDF Editor 2.6 is used to edit the files
doPDF 5 is used to modify pdf file.
Interesting, I can use the free CAD-KAS PDF reader to open & read the PDF file that the ADOBE XI reader
gives me the above error message.

How to create one pdf file out of several pages documents?

I have created several seperate pages documents and want to merge them now to one pdf file. Currently if have exported only single pages documents in the pdf format to the documents app from readdle. I would prefer to order them in pages (e.g. in a folder) and convert the whole folder afterwords to a single pdf document.
Maybe there is another and better way to do it. Your help is very welcome.

In iOS:
Combine the pages files into a single document, (Pages will not batch print)or
Find an app for iOS that will facilitate combining PDF files into a singe file. (To be honest, I have my doubts about finding one).

PDF file created from Oracle Report is attached wrongly

Hi,
Please help. It is very urgent.
I am using Oracle Developer 10gR2, Oracle Report 10.1.2 on Windows 2000.
I would like to attach the PDF file created by Oracle Report to the Notification sent from Workflow.
I use the following package procedure in my Workflow.
procedure Create_File_Attachment (document_id   in varchar2, display_type in varchar2, document      in out blob, document_type in out varchar2)
is
     l_itemtype          varchar2(100);
     l_itemkey           varchar2(100);
     l_output_directory varchar2(30);

     amount := dbms_lob.getLength(bdoc);
     dbms_lob.copy(document,bdoc,amount,1,1);
     document_type := 'application/pdf; name=attach.pdf';
end Create_File_Attachment;Oracle Report created the PDF file correctly (original.pdf).
I tried to attach the PDF into my Workflow.
I can see the file is attached (attach.pdf), but it cannot be opened.
The Adobe shows : 'A drawing error occured.' each time I open the attachment.
I compare the original.pdf and the attach.pdf
However, there is one specific difference
- in original.pdf, the line started with '.' (single period)
in attach.pdf, the line is started with '..' (two periods)
Thus the attachment cannot be opened.
After I delete the period, it can be opened.
Question:
- Has someone ever succeed in attaching the PDF created from Report?
- Are the codes above is wrong?
- Or perhaps the DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE always double the single period on front of the line?
- Is there any solution on this?
Note:
I have succeed in attaching PDF files unless the PDF created by the Report.
Sorry for the long post.
Please help. It is very urgent.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,

The code looks absolutely good. I have the same code working in my system. Only difference is I use TRUE and DBMS_LOB.Session for the BLOB I use to read from the BFILE.
I can suggest one more way to handle to binary attachments if you are on Oracle 9i DB are later versions.

                           p_display_type in varchar2,

                           p_document_type in out nocopy varchar2)
is
l_nid        number;
l_directory varchar2(100);
l_filename   varchar2(100);
l_content_type varchar2(100);
l_src_offset binary_integer := 1;
l_dst_offset binary_integer := 1;
l_err_msg    varchar2(100);

l_bfile BFILE;
l_blob BLOB;

file_not_found exception;
pragma EXCEPTION_INIT(file_not_found, -22288);
begin
l_nid := to_number(p_document_id);
l_directory := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_DIRECTORY'));
l_filename := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_FILENAME'));
l_content_type := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_CONTENT_TYPE'));
l_bfile := BFILENAME(l_directory, l_filename);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_blob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
begin
    dbms_lob.FileOpen(l_bfile, dbms_lob.File_Readonly);
exception
    when file_not_found then
      l_err_msg := to_char(sqlcode)||' - Attachment File "'||l_filename||'" is not found.';
      raise_application_error(-20002, l_err_msg);
end;
dbms_lob.LoadBLOBFromFile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.LobMaxSize, l_src_offset, l_dst_offset);
dbms_lob.FileClose(l_bfile);
-- Encode the BLOB content to BASE64 and attach to notification
wf_mail_util.EncodeBLOB(l_blob, l_clob);
l_amount := dbms_lob.GetLength(l_clob);
dbms_lob.Copy(p_document, l_clob, l_amount, 1, 1);
-- Mention an appropriate Content Type so that Notification System
-- understands the attachment content
p_document_type := l_content_type||'; encoding=base64; name='||l_filename;
end attach_document;Here I read the BLOB from the filesystem and base64 encode it before giving it to the Mailer. Please note that this is a PLSQLCLOB based attachment as against PLSQLBLOB that you are using.

Automatically Tagged the PDF files Created from Templates

I have some PDF templates which have texts, fields, table, or lines in it. They are made accessible by tagging manually and creating special reading order when press tab through the pages.
After run a program which uses Adobe FdfApp and FdfDoc object to add data in the fields of the templates and save as an fdf file, then use CAcroAVDoc / CAcroPDDoc object convert fdf file to a PDF file. This PDF file will keep special reading order when press tab through the pages, but no Tag. (Tagged PDF: is No).
Is there a way can keep the tag of PDF templates, after run FdfApp? If not, how automatically to create the PDF file tag or import tag from its template?

No, the process of importing an FDF into a PDF does not maintain any tagging.

How to create multiple pdf Files out of multiple pages documents??

I wrote multiple pages documents and stored them in a directory. That is nice, but now I want to transfer them all into pdf files.
Is there a way to do this or do I have to open them one by one an select "Print" and so on??

Pages 5 has virtually no AppleScript support so it would be difficult to even make an Automator workflow to do what you want.
So yes you will have to make a pdf of each one. Be warned that Pages 5 stuffs up links after the first pages of pdfs.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder if you had it previously.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Error in opening the PDF file created from the smart form output.

Problem with printing pdf file created from Illustrator

Hello,
In a drawing I created with Illustrator 10.0.3 I covered part of a circle with a white rectangle (to make it disappear). I saved it as pdf. When printing the pdf (under Linux with a HP printer), the covered part reappeared. However the pdf-file is how it should be. Anybody knows what the problem is?

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

Mavericks CPU can't open pdf files created on Yosemite

I've looked around for this issue, but I haven't seen any questions similar to mine.
My wife and I have identical MacBook Pros. Hers is running Mavericks, while I've updated mine to Yosemite.
By chance, we realized that if I email her files created on my laptop, she can't open them. I've sent her Pages files, and the same files converted to PDF. So, either on Preview or Pages, she cannot open those files I've sent her.
I know that the easy answer is "update your wife's laptop to Yosemite," but I'm rather curious whether there's a bug in the system that hasn't been discovered. Besides, my wife is quite happy with Mavericks, and that's fine by me.
Any help or suggestion in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
BK

I just tested opening a Pages v5.5.1 file on Yosemite and Exporting it to a PDF file. Then I copied the PDF and Pages files over to another Mac running Mavericks and I was able to open and view the PDF file. I can't open the actual Pages file in Mavericks created in Yosemite because the Pages app is a different version in Mavericks (v5.2.2) and not compatible with the Yosemite version. But, PDFs definitely work fine and I can also open/view the same PDF file on a Mac running Mountain Lion. So, Preview in Mavericks and Mountain Lion, for me, open and view PDF files created from Yosemite/Pages without issue.
Have you tried opening your PDF file on another Mac running Mavericks?
You might try reinstalling Mavericks on top of itself. Maybe Preview in Mavericks is somehow corrupt. On the Mavericks Mac, you can redownload/reinstall Mavericks from the App Store using the same Apple ID that originally downloaded it. Or restart the Mavericks Mac into the Recovery HD (Command+R) and Reinstall OS X from there. Back up before you do the reinstall. The reinstall won't harm any data or apps. It just installs the OS over itself.

How to open-up a pdf file to a particular page via java? (file and page number from another program)

I have created an Access 2003 Form. Data is entered. The data can be viewed once entered in the same form format, with one addition. The addition is a link to another program where we store files. The files stored are pdf documents. Each document is a scanned file (500+ pages). The link can open-up the pdf file. I want the link to open-up the pdf file to a particular page. I will supply the page number from the database.
I am aware of Adobe Acrobat 7.0 PDF Open Parameters using a URL that specifies the file to be opened plus actions to be performed once the file is openend (i.e. http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3). However, the 3rd party program transfers a file from a server to the client via java. The file does not go via a web browser. The java code transfer the file directly from the file server to the the client.
Any idea how to accomplish the task of viewing a particular page with the process flow described?
I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional.

So you are reading this file in a standalone version of Acrobat? If so then use the PDF Open Parameters /a option via the command line.
Sabian
Example:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat>Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000=OpenActions" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\SimpleSubmit.pdf"
Where:
Path to Acrobat: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat>Acrobat.exe
Note: The example starts in the Acrobat application directory
Switch: /A
Parameter Syntax: "zoom=1000=OpenActions"
Path to file: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\SimpleSubmit.pdf"
Note: The quotes are very important for the syntax to work appropriately.

How do I customize the password input page of the PDF documented created from Pages?

Is there a way to customize the password input page of the PDF document created from within Pages?
I created a document in Pages, on exporting I choose PDF, in the Security Options drop down I checked box password required and typed in a password, then clicked Next, then typed in a file name and then clicked Export. This created a PDF file that when I open with preview brings up a red colored page saying:
This PDF is password protected.
Please type the password below.
Password:
I want to change the color and the text and potentially add an image. I may also need to put in instruction in multiple languages not just english.
Please let me know. Thanks all!

Not that I know of.
You could control click on the Pages.app and have a look inside the application package's resources to see if any of it looks like password dialog, but my guess is that it has been encoded in the main part of the application and altering that, even if you could, would probably result in a check-sum error or failure to take updates.
Adobe Acrobat has more control over its .pdfs but its password verification, I think is also part of the application.

Can't Print PDF files exported from Pages

I spent all weekend creating a 25 page document - exported it to PDF and it won't print at all. Sent it to 50 customers before I discovered the problem
I used the same fonts and template last year in a document in Version 1 of Pages and had no problems.
I can print directly from Pages and also no problems printing if I export to Word but not PDF which is of course the format I require!
I checked the security setting in Acrobat and none are set so it sould be fine!
Help!?!

Can you open and print the the file in Preview? I found Acrobat Reader a little flakey with X and deleted it from my system. I use Preview for everything.
Instead of the export feature have you tried printing to pdf? See if it makes any difference.

Why does a PDF file created in Pages, attached to e-mail, not get sent?

Why does a PDF file created in Pages, attached to e-mail, not get sent? I even blank copied myself and nothing seems to have been sent. Could it bee the size of the PDF file?

They send for me, my test document was 3.8 MB.
