Create contact sheet from multi-page PDF

I have a multi-page PDF (A brochure with 1 image on each page). I would like to create a contact sheet of the pages. Can I?

I would like to create a contact sheet of the pages. Can I?
Bridge Output Module creates a multipage PDF with options to choose on size, orientation and amount of files per page but can't read all pages separately, it only uses the first page of a PDF.
You can however extract the pages in PS itself. Open the PDF file using right mouse click in Bridge and choose Open With; Photoshop.
Then you will see an option window with small thumbs of each pages. Select all the thumbs and set the options as you wish. Then hit Open and you have all the pages as separate files. Use Save as (or create an action to batch save the files if it are many) and then open the folder with the new files in Bridge. Now you can use the option for more files per page in the Output Module.
Or use the Contactsheet II script that has returned in CS6 and choose to use the open files.

Is the PSD created from Multi-page PDF to PSD different from one created using File- Open?

Printing a contact sheet from multiple saved pdf drawings

How can I print a gridded contact sheet of several drawings I have saved as PDF's? They are all in separate files but I need to present on one sheet of paper. Seems like this would be easy but I can't figure it out.....

I would post to the Photoshop Elements Forum, as it has several features that are either not in Photoshop, or work differently. Folk in that forum will know exactly what you will need to do.
Good luck,

Applescript create contact sheet Error

Hi all,
I'm using Applescript to filter my images and create a contact sheet from those filtered images. Now I'm stuck at creating the contact sheet. The error I get is:
error "Can’t get list of {alias \"Macintosh HD:Users:stopar:Desktop:sorted:OA0001-1.jpg\", alias \"Macintosh HD:Users:stopar:Desktop:sorted:OA0002-1.jpg\"....
My script looks like this:
tell application "Finder"
set sourceFolder to choose folder -- temporary testing by selecting a folder. File filter script will be placed here
set filesList to (files of entire contents of sourceFolder) as alias list
end tell
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
activate
create contact sheet from files list of filesList
end tell

It looks at first glance that you are asking for a list twice… This worked for me… Just tested with a bunch of TIFFs. Put a basic filter in there too.
tell application "Finder"
set sourceFolder to choose folder
set filesList to (files of entire contents of sourceFolder whose file type is "TIFF") as alias list
end tell
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
activate
create contact sheet from files filesList
end tell
and as if by magik Im back to the other me… again…

Unable to mark the box 'create Multi-page PDF from page tiles' when saving to pdf-file

I am running Illustrator CS3 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
I want to print a very large illustrator-file (1000 mm x 900 mm) across mutliple pages of A4-paper (5 x 5 sheets of A4-paper) by saving the file as a multi-page pdf file.
I first followed the instructions provided here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-mutli-page-pdf-illustrator.html
When I then tried to save the file: -> File -> Save as -> 'choose .pdf from drop-down menu'
I get to this menu:
I am unable to mark the box that says: 'Create multi-page pdf from page tiles'. I have made a red arrow pointing to the box I want to mark.
I have tried changing the other drop-down menus inside this menu, to see if the box I want to mark could become available, but without any luck.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I would be grateful if anyone could help me set my settings right to allow me to create such a multi-page pdf-file.
Thanks in advance for your help

Your ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned.

Can I use Automator to create a multi-page PDF from a selection of images?

Well can I? I have looked at Preview extensively but found no option to create a multi-page document from all open images. I can create single-page PDF's easily, but that's not what I want.
Does it make a difference if they are TIFF, JPEG, etc?

Take a look at
PDFLab
It will create a multi – page .pdf from a folder of .jpgs. I am ** guessing ** it will work with .tiffs.
No Alibi.

Creating multi-page PDF from Page Tiles

Trying to save out a page-tiled Illustrator document to multi page PDF. The "Create Multi-Page PDF from Page Tiles" is ghosted/disabled when I save out as PDF; and printing to PDF doesn't size page edges properly. I've followed all directions and re-created new docs to see if I can get this to work, no luck.
Is there a trick I'm missing? Using Illustrator CS3 13.0.2 Mac, Acrobat 8.1.3. Thanks!

This would be hard to answer but you must be missing something the question is what are you doing and how is the document set up and then the really important question what are doing wrong. Which I know you want us to tell you but without knowing what that is we cannot tell you what not to do.
If there is something you can tell that might give us a clue perhaps we can help.

Creating Multi-Page PDF from a Layerd Illustrator file (script)

Often times when designing a logo I create different versions and variable options on layers. This can result in several layers in one Illustrator file. Is there an easy way or an existing script that will allow me to (with one click) create a multi-page PDF consisting of all the layers within my .ai file? The current method is turning on each layer, performing a save-as (PDF), then turning off said layer and turning on the next layer and repeating the task and so-on-and-so-forth, etc … It becomes tedious and quite often I save over the previous version, forgetting to re-name it or forget to perform a save on a certain layer. Can anyone help with some advice? I have never written my own script before but am not opposed to trying, where do I begin?
Any help is appreciated.

You don't say what OS you are using and which scripting language you are thinking of doing this in…
This is a sample that may get you started done in JavaScript so it's platform independent with the exception of my 'mac style' file paths.
If your on a PC it may just be a typo to set to C drive or whatever you call them things…
If you are on the mac OS then it should just dump a load of PDF's on your desktop.
You say about a multi-page PDF but don't think Illustrator can do this unless its been added with multi-artboards in CS4?
Others would have to let you know that…
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
var docName = baseName(name)
var pdfOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
pdfOptions.pDFPreset = '[High Quality Print]';
// Turn all layers off
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
layers[i].visible = false;
// Turn each layer on
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
if (i == 0) {
layers[i].visible = true;
redraw();
var layerName = layers[i].name;
var saveAsPath = new File('~/Desktop/' + docName + '_' + layerName + '.pdf')
saveAs(saveAsPath, pdfOptions);
} else {
layers[i-1].visible = false;
layers[i].visible = true;
redraw();
var layerName = layers[i].name;
var saveAsPath = new File('~/Desktop/' + docName + '_' + layerName + '.pdf')
saveAs(saveAsPath, pdfOptions);
//close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
function baseName(fileName) {
var nameString = '';
var extOffset = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
if (extOffset == -1) {
nameString = fileName;
} else {
nameString = fileName.substr(0, extOffset);
return nameString;

Create multi page pdf

Hi, what are the step by step instructions for creating a multi-page pdf made from jpegs using bridge ? I can't find the insructions.
Thanks !

You can find everything you want to know if you look at the Adobe Bridge
Help under the Help Menu and use PDF as search criteria.
For a contact sheet in PDF you can use the Adobe Output Module (either
choose workspace Output Module or use the right icon in the top left row in
Bridge Window.
Select the files you want and fill in the details for row and columns to
your own wishes, quality etc. There will be as many pages created as needed
with the selected files.

Create a PDF contact sheet - What is the PDF preset?

Hello
When I create contact sheet, it creats a pdf but I don't understand what is the pdf preset.
Is it for screen? print? where can I see or change it if at all?
thanks

You're practically answering your own question, Shlomit. Those are InDesign "presets", unrelated to Bridge.
In Bridge you can create Page Presets and define the "Quality" (Bridge nomenclature) of the PDF. See images below.
Additionally you can further edit and resave any PDF in Acrobat.
It's always a good idea to read the documentation, consult the Help files and explore the application.

How can you create a multi-page pdf document in photoshop elements 13?

I previously had pse 11 and was able to create multi-page documents as pse files. However, pse 13 does not allow. How can I create multi-page pdf files from pse 13?

Alas, for one of those mysterious adobe reasons, it's gone in recent versions. Only multipage file you can make is a photobook.

HP 2540 scanning to create a multi-page pdf (Mac OS X)

My printer/scanner is: HP 2540
My OS is Mac OS X 10.10
Need help with the following:
How can I scan single pages (an old tax return) to create one multi-page PDF? I saw a reply on how to do it in Windows, but not using OS X. Any assistance would be appreciated as I need to get this done for legal reasons.
This question was solved.

Hello @txrun ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you would like to scan multiple pages into on PDF document.
I would like to help.
It really depends on how you are scanning.
Are you using Apples Image Capture or HP Scan?
If you are using HP Scan, it should be quite simple.
Scan the first page.
You should have a preview of the page on the left hand column of the window.
You will also have a little plus sign found at the lower left hand corner of the window.
Change the page on the scanner glass then click the little plus sign.
If you are using the Apple Image Capture, you will have to change the format from JPEG to PDF.
This will cause a little box to appear under it, that will say 'combine multiple pages into single file'
Check this box and proceed to scan.
Hope this helps you.

HP 2540 scanning to create a multi-page pdf?

I just purchased a 2540 all-in-one, and am trying to scan several pages of a document and create a multi-page pdf. After I scan a page, I am asked if I am done, or to save the document, or cancel. Although I have unchecked the box in advanced settings to create a separate document for each scanned page, I am thus far unable to figure out how to scan multiple pages and create a multi-page document.

Creating multi page PDF's

I know I posted this before, yet I cannot believe that I cannot somehow create Multi-Page PDF's for mailing. I'm a student working on many papers, I write in Pages (Hate Word) export to PDF and mail them separately. It is so unprofessional, I need to organize the PDF's into one document. Does anyone know a download for this? Thanks in advance.

Acrobat Pro 9 Multi-page PDF Printing backwards thumbnails

Any time I create a multi-page PDF and ask it to print, it will print the first page correctly and then print every subsequent page as a mirror image thumbnail in the corner of the paper. If I print each page individually it prints fine. After doing a fair bit of testing, I've found the following:
If I de-select the option "choose paper source by pdf page size" this issue does not happen. Unfortunately, this means any multi-page PDF with 8x11 and 11x17 doesn't print the 11x17 pages properly as it just prints them on 8x11 paper.
If I select "print as image" this issue does not happen. Unfortunately, this is unacceptable due to the blurring of lines and text that occurs when selecting this option.
I haven't tested the various page scaling options because I am producing scaled maps, and must therefore leave it set to "none".
Does anyone know what might be causing this, and how to resolve the issue? Printing 10-20 page documents one sheet at a time isn't exactly an ideal solution.

Unfortunately, not only does this not solve the problem with multi-page-size documents, but it's begun happening on files which are all one size as well, where that box isn't even checked.
It appears that what's happening is the newer versions of Adobe Acrobat don't play nicely with emulated postscript support past a certain date. We're replacing our Canon with a newer model that has actual postscript support, and if that resolves the issue I'll be certain to post confirmation here. Copies of Adobe Acrobat 7 and 8 in our office haven't seen this problem at all; it's simply everyone who has upgraded past that point that can't print reliably.
More news next week, after we get the new copier.
