Converting pdf into jpeg with Pages
I took some scrapbook digital images and dragged them into pages. I then added pictures and text box. I used to go to Print and then save as jpeg but it won't allow me. I keep getting an error message and have no idea what it means. Finished project opens in Preview.
The action “Copy Finder Items” encountered an error.Check the actionʼs properties and try running the workflow again.
I just upgraded to Lion today.
If you want to convert a whole page:
Press command-P to open the Print dialogue.
Click the PDF button at the lower left and choose Save PDF.
In the Finder, locate the saved file, Right click on it's icon and choose Open with... Preview.
Save or Export the Preview document as a jpeg.
Alternate method (for less than a full page, also works for full page)
Select all of the objects on the page.
Go Arrange > Group
Copy
Launch Preview, then go File > New from Clipboard (or press command-N)
Save or Export the Preview document as a jpeg.
These methods work in previous versions of Mac OS X. I'm unable to test them in Lion.
Regards,
Barry

Converting PDF to a Web Page with Mouseover Functionality
I've been asked to create an online catalog with page turning functionality, but the pages must have the capability that when hovering over a product, it is then enlarged into a pop-up box that has a link to a shopping cart. Page turning software appears to only work with PDF files, so I need to create a PDF from scratch, not from a scan...then have mouseover functionality over each product as I described. Then I would have the PDF converted to page flipping functionality. I would appreciate any suggestions as I feel this is over my head. A good example of this is the Staples weekly ad:
http://weeklyad.staples.com/staples/default.aspx?action=entryflash&adref=%20staples_right_ hand_nav%20&icid=HP:HP:WEKLY_AD:WEKLY_:NULL::
Thanks in advanceAt this time all page-flipping system run in Flash (until we get some of the new features of HTML5 and CSS shown at MAX, it's the only way to do it). As such they are primarily-designed to work on a website, but in some cases they can be embedded into a PDF as well.
Adobe InDesign can export documents into SWFs with a page-flip effect, and could implement some of the interactivity you're looking for - but if you want to convert an existing PDF into something with popups and flip effects you'll need to use one of the many online service providers (such as Yudu), Adobe doesn't offer it. -
Applescript to convert PDF to JPEG using Preview?
I know there's an existing script available on the internet that converts PDFs to JPEGs (it's here: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=25350) BUT, for whatever reason, the quality, even when set to 600dpi, is crap. I get better results simply opening the PDF in Preview then saving as JPEG... even a 150dpi JPG from Preview is higher quality than a 600dpi file from this script I found...
So, what I need help with is creating a applescript that converts PDF's to JPEGs using Preview (or whatever, as long as the quality of the JPEG is good). I have very little scripting experience so help is appreciate.
Ideas?
Thanks.Frank Caggiano wrote:
Decided to finish this up as an interesting exercise. Hope you find it useful.
One question for the Applescripters here. The Automator action run as a shell script seems to return a list of filename aliases but the return value while looking like a list didn't behave as a list. I managed to rip it apart to get to the filepaths and the script works but it seems really kludgey . So my question is given the return of the Automator run as a do shell script what is a more correct way to handle it?

Convert pfd files to jpg images.
The converted JPG files wil have the name of the original PDF files with the extension changed to JPG.
The actual conversion uses the Automator action Render PDF Pages as Images.
The user needs to create an Automator action with Render Pages as Images as the single action.
Set the parameters for the conversion in the action.
NOTE: this script assumes you're converting to jpg files If you select another output format in the action this script will
need to be modified.

We go through the list of converted files. If there is more then one then the second and subsequent files
will get and integer added to the name to avoid conflict.
set cnt to 0
repeat with convertedFile in theList
if convertedFile does not contain "alias" and convertedFile does not contain "}" then
set fullPath to quoted form of POSIX path of convertedFile
if cnt ≠ 0 then
do shell script "mv " & fullPath & space & destFolder & bName & "_" & cnt & ".JPG"

Hi Frank--
I tried the script you wrote and created the Automator workflow with the single action as requested, saved it to the desktop then selected it when your script's dialogue requested it. However, at that point your script game me the following error. Ideas? I did save the workflow as a workflow and I selected it directly, so I'm not sure why it thinks that the "workflow file does not exist" ? :
error "The workflow file does not exist. 255" number -2700 from «script» to item -

I'm not one to spend money when it is not necessary.
Try deskUNPDF for Mac as suggested. As I said you can do a few trials per document. You won't know if you don't try. If it is only text then it probably would do fine. However you need to look at the different things you want to convert, try it out and see if it does the job. Warning: The limit in the trial is 4 single and separate pages per document so you may need to divide you document into smaller documents. If it is not doing what you want then maybe Adobe Writer is what you need, particularly if you do a lot of PDF conversions.
As a basic document converter I would certainly use it again. I have to say I have come across a lot of useful freebie info and good software sites in this forum.

Combining Contents of 2 PDFs into a single page PDF
I need to combine elements of two different PDFs into one, single page PDF.
One PDF is Template of sorts with headers to be edited, the other PDF is a non-ocr scan that includes text and images.
I've found no way to copy and paste on a single page b.t two PDFs. I've tried pasting into an inserted page and then dragging it up or cutting and pasting within the document (with the intention of deleting the unneeded second page) with no luck.
This seems like it should be such a no brainer. Open 1st PDF, Open 2nd PDF, make selection Ctrl C, go to 1st PDF, place cursor where desired, Ctrl V. But it doesn't work at all in an intuitive way like any other document program where you can cut and paste with ease b/t documents and even b/t programs.
So instead, I've copied the part of the image PDF I want into the original word doc of the template, then created a PDF from that. However, when I try to tell Acrobat to make the entire document OCR, it tells me it can’t b/c it contains renderable text (the header information, I’m assuming). If I run the OCR on a PDF containing just the image, it does it no problem.
What is the best way to bring these two documents together in way that results in a single page, completely searchable PDF?Unfortunately, another $700 software purchase is not in the cards and I can’t wrap my mind around why it should be necessary. It seems so nonsensical to me that Acrobat has all these advanced functions for editing, combining, making portfolios etc., yet can not perform the simple task of cutting and pasting between two documents.
While Adobe support was putting me on hold, I doodled up some generic sample documents that I could upload here to illustrate the problem. Hopefully, someone can play with these and give me a workable solution.
The first PDF, Original Acme Clip, represents the file that is provided to me by our clipping service. They cut the item out of a magazine, put the customized info into their standard template in whatever word processing program they use, printed it out, pasted the magazine clip to that page and then scanned the hard copy to PDF-as an image only PDF, it is not optimized for optical character recognition and is not searchable.
The second PDF, Final Acme PDF, represents the file that our workflow eventually ends up as-a PDF containing only the info we want, formatted as we want, in which both the headers and clip content are searchable. To get there currently, we print out the Original ACME Clip, type the relevant info into the headers of a Word template that includes our logo and standard footer, print out the Word template page, manually cut out the scanned image from the PDF, and paste it onto the template paper. The resulting paper is scanned into the Final Acme PDF and OCR is run on the whole thing to make it all searchable.
What we’d like to do is skip all the printing, and manual cutting and pasting. Any and all suggestions for work in Acrobat 9 Pro to do this would be gratefully appreciated! -
I want to be able to convert PDFs into another format and I know this can be achieved with a small upgrade. However I am also looking for the ability to compress the size of PDFs, if this is at all possible.
You can use Acrobat Standard for this.

Can you merge 2 single-page PDFs into 1 single-page PDF?
I'm not having luck adding text with line breaks to a pdf, as apparently the Text Box tool does not like line breaks. So I'm wondering if I can take a pdf with the text I want, which is a full paragraph and merge into another pdf of my company letterhead. (I cannot recreate the letterhead as I paid a company to make it long ago. Nor do I have the tools or expertise to do so.) So if I strategically place the text I want in the first pdf in such a way as to not overlap the graphics on my letterhead, can I merge two pdfs into a single page where the data on the pdfs overlaps each other?
Hi WillCD,
Yes It is possible to copy that paragraph by selecting text and then paste that paragraph to your company letter head pdf.
and no you can't merge two pdfs in such a way that it overlaps the data of resultant pdf.
Does that help? Please let me know if i have misinterpreted your issue or if you need any further assistance.

I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.
I went to the site and did exactly as the 'support' said. I tried three PDF documents for conversion to Word. On clicking 'convert', the last window gives the file with .doc suffix. After I save and open it the window says, "The XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents." Under "Details", it says, "Incorrect document syntax".
Please guide me further.

How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0?
How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat
Capture 3.0?
Our division is digitizing it's files, and we've been using
Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (2). We've 'scanned-in' several hundred
documents, but they have been saved as .pdf files (which are
currently not 'searchable', as they are only scanned images).
We just received the Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0 program, and
we were told that we would be able to scan-in any new documents and
save them both as .pdf and OCR documents (Optical Character
Recognition). Therefore, we were told, we would be able to search
through the body of the document, using OCR, and not just through
the document filename, as we had been doing before.
HOWEVER, we don't know how to use this new OCRing program.
Also, we don't know how to convert the .pdf documents which we've
already scanned into OCR recognizable documents.
Is someone able to assist us here in this forum?
Merci beaucoup / Shokran jazilan / Thank you very much!

Why can I not convert pdf into word file?
why can I not convert pdf into word file?
This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.
