Create continuous page PDF from webpage.

Hello, I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and MS Internet Explorer (FireFox is available), and I would like to create continuous page PDF files from webpages. I am taking webpage data, and making it accessible on an intranet for viewing by our technicians, and creating the PDF with standard pages is making a mess of the data. I have resorted to creating a custom sized page (ie: 8.5" x 153") for each webpage to get everything on one continuous flow. I am hoping someone can tell me a more streamlined method to do this as my current method is very time consuming.

There are plugins available for many browsers that can produce a single
image from an entire web page. You can then easily convert that image into
a single-page PDF file.

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.

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 single page pdfs from a brochure designed in spreads format

Hi there,
So I've been asked to take a brochure that is in spreads, and save each panel as a single page pdf. So basically, in document setup, the page size is 17.75 x 8.5). There are four panels, each panel is roughly 4.3708 x 8.5. The problem is, each panel was not created as a single page in indesign...instead, it's set up as a 17.75 x 8.5 document and the panels are created within that document size.
I guess I wanted to find out if there is an efficient way of creating these single panel pdfs from what I've been given.
Anybody know?

It's either copy/paste into a properly laid out facing pages document (the best choice if it will need editing in the future), or place the pages, each one twice, into a facing pages pages doc and crop the wrong half off each page. In either case, you'll need to rearrange the pages into readers' spreads.

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 from multi-layer AI file

This is an old question, I'm sure...
I have an .ai file with 33 layers. Each layer represents an individual page of a manual. I have CS4 ... Is there a way of quickly exporting or saving the document where it creates a PDF page from each layer? Or do I have to go through and individually save each layer as a PDF and then combine them? I'm not savvy with coding, so that route probably won't work without serious hand holding (Windows XP, just in case).
Thanks in advance,
Zack

How to create multiple page PDF from multiple jpg images?

I have three jpeg images with pixel dimensions 1008 x 1464. I wish to create a PDF file with one image per page. Apparently Preview previously performed this function, and this functionality was deliberately removed by the time of Mac OS X 10.6.
I use Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have combined the images via Gimp into one jpeg image of size 1008 x 4392, but it would be better if I could create a PDF file. I have been unable to figure out how to do this via GraphicConverter, which trial version constantly displays the 30 second "buy me" window before loading -- annoying: I once accidentally opened it, and it would not let me close the application until the "buy me" window finished...
I have been able to create a PDF file through the action of "printing" (cf. https://discussions.apple.com/message/12395021#12395021), but that reduces the image size and creates a white margin around the images (as if printing on a sheet of paper), which I wish to avoid.
Thank you for your time and help!
Message was edited by: ethereality -- added another "workaround" attempt

I drag and dropped from Finder into TextEdit, and it only copied the file path as text. From what software would I drag the images into TextEdit?
First, set the TextEdit document to Rich Text Format - you can do that via the Format menu in TextEdit. This will allow the inclusion of pictures.
Then you can either -
• Drag an image file into the TextEdit window, and a preview-sized image will be inserted. If this is too small for your purposes -
• Open the image file in Preview (or an image editor, if you choose), size the image to your liking, press Command-A (Select All) and the press Command-C (Copy) - doing this will place a copy of the image on the Clipboard. Then switch focus to the TextEdit document and press Command-V (Paste). This will place a large-size image of the file.

I don't have 9 yet. But you can try to fix permissions. If that doesn't
work you can try to work as another user. If it works now you have a
preference file problem. However, there is a remote chance that the
issue is a incomparability between Acrobat and the twain driver.

Exclude pages from Create PDF from Webpage?

My organization wants to use the Create PDF from Webpage functionality in Acrobat to keep a record of our site. However, the PDF Acrobat created using the "Entire Site" setting includes all PDFs linked to the site as well as other pages (for individual news items, e.g.) that we do not want to include. Is there a way to exclude pages or links based on specific criteria when creating a PDF from a Website?

You can determine how far down in the website you want to go. You can require the capture mechanism to stay on the server as the picture says. But if you get the entire website, that is what you get. So if you ask you website designer to make your website in a way that everything you want is one level deep and everything you don't want is on the 2nd or 3rd level you are set.

Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option doesn't works

OK, guys, this is the problem...
After YEARS of testing from Acrpbat 4 thru 9 on Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option... it doesn't works properly and doesn't got the entire site. ALWAYS get an error of memory or any other error but FINALLY you NEVER got the entire site. I'm talking for a big website... not like amazon.com, but a big one.
I make a walkarround to try to capture the website in parts but Acrobat is not "intelligent" to make a resume capture of the site, because ALWAYS start from the begining instead from the resume position of the site...
My question is, HOW can get the ENTIRE SITE in a PDF document... without getting errors or stopping the capture process...
Don't have problem of low RAM memory because I'm in a MONSTER MACINTOSH.... 3.2 GHZ with 8 Core and 32 GB of RAM under Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 in Acrobat 9 Pro.
If I'm not wrong, the GET ENTIRE SITE option in Web Capture (Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option) doesn't works from Acrobat 4 thru 9 in Pro version... tested, you'll never got the entire site... I'm talking in capture a huge entire site and not a little one...
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Ok so I go to a web page and select something to print. Once I've clicked print I switch over from printer/micosoft xps docu writer/fax and select Adobe PDF. All goes through with a 'Create Adobe PDF' coming up progressing through to eventually save and store. Once I open the file it end up as the picture above. I have the same version on another computer and that works fine but this particular Sony laptop it doesn't seem to work properly.

Adobe Acrobat XI crashes when creating PDF from webpage.

I need to create quite a few pdfs from webpages and all of a sudden, after being completely functional, my Acrobat has begun crashing nearly 100% of the time when trying to do so. I'm defining crashing as either completely crashing ('...has stopped working...') or freezing indefinitely, forcing me to Force Quit. It may be worth mentioning that I am using the Mac version. Any ideas?

The problem is likely that the web page does not conform to standard HTML. AA8 crashed on me also. You can print the file from your browser. The only thing that would be missing would be the 3 links near the bottom and they are easy to add.

How to create a 4 page pdf from images - each page should open at same size

How do I create a 4 page pdf (from 4 images - all the same size) that opens each page at full page size?
Thank you so much.
Ginger
PREVIOUS MSG:
My goal is to create multi page pdfs that are created from images (scans of old brochures). I receive images (scans of pages) all at the same size.
I have been able to create the 4 pdfs (each opens at full page size) and merge into 1 pdf. When I open that final pdf, I see a column of 4 pages, page 1 image being larger than the remaining 3. When I click on the left, page 1, icon, I get the full page. When I click on icons for pages 2 - 4, I get nothing. The only way I can get the other pages in a full page view is to adjust the scaling after left icon is selected. That is not what I want.
How I created the files.
I can either create pdf pages using Photoshop, or using Acrobat Pro itself through:
File> Create PDF> From File and adding each of the images. I then, for each, choose Properties> Initial View> Fit Page> Save. Then I use File> Combine> Merge Files into Single PDF> Save.
Then I open the multi page pdf.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Ginger

It seems to me what you want to do is create one document which a combination of all four and then one page of each.
To create a Document with 4 pages combined in to one PDF. open the first in a Series the to Edit menu and click on add pages click on next document (browse to document first) the choose attach to to end of document or add to end of document. Repeat until you get all images added. They will end up (or should ) center in center of their own page. Save this document with a new name for now.
Next go back to Photo shop and reduce size of images to fit desired sheet of paper (8-1/2 by 11, 8-1/2 by 14, whatever) place them side by side and row by row so you have 4 images on one page.
now save as Pdf.
now decide which you want to swap to the Thumbnails (the 4 on one page, or 4 individual pages. I would use the thumbnails and make each a button that references the page in the document you save as a 4 page pdf that applies.
Then on that page write a line saying click each illustration to see full size image (you might have to write this line while in Photoshop) then save this as PDF file
Try out. You might have to use some javascript controls to do this. But I am not experienced in JavaScript to do this. I'm sure it cane be done.
But note you will have to save both documents with the Thumbnails and the four page and Thumbnail page in a folder and send to prospect
If you want just four separate pages in one Pdf just do first two paragraphs above

When printing to PDF from webpage, the pdf is compressed on the bottom of each page and markedly smaller print. How do I correct this?

When printing to PDF from webpage, the pdf is compressed on the bottom of each page and with markedly smaller print, the top of the page is fine. How do I correct this?

Open Contacts and click Preferences on the menu named Contacts. On the General tab of the Preferences window, select Show First Name: Before Last Name and then print. You can change that Preference back to the other way after printing if desired.

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.

AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboards

I'm not exactly sure where my new problem lies. I'm trying to save out single page PDFs from an Illustrator CS4 document with multiple artboards. Each artboard should become a PDF. I can get a multi page PDF, but when it saves single page files, I get white PDFs with error messages on them (I think it is saving .ai files with a .pdf extension).
this is where I am now (simplified, of course):
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
set docName to name of current document
set itemNumber to 1
tell application "Finder" to set fileLoc to path to desktop as string
set pageCount to (count artboards in document docName)
tell current document
set allPlacedItems to placed items
repeat with h from 1 to (count of allPlacedItems)
set thisPlacedItem to item h of allPlacedItems
tell thisPlacedItem to embed
end repeat
set allTextItems to text frames
repeat with j from 1 to (count of allTextItems)
set thisTextItem to item j of allTextItems
tell thisTextItem to convert to paths
end repeat
end tell
repeat with i from 1 to pageCount
set pdfSaveOptions to {class:PDF save options, pdfXstandard:PDFX None, compatibility:Acrobat 6, preserve editability:false, generate thumbnails:false, optimization:false, acrobat layers:false, artboard range:i, view pdf:false, color downsampling:0, color resample:nodownsample, color compression:none, grayscale downsampling:0, grayscale resample:nodownsample, grayscale compression:none, monochrome downsampling:0, monochrome resample:nodownsample, monochrome compression:none, compress art:false, trim marks:false, registration marks:false, color bars:false, page info:false, page marks style:Roman, trim mark weight:trimmarkweight025, offset:6.0, bleed link:true, bleed offset:{0, 0, 0, 0}, color conversion id:none, color destination id:none, color profile id:include all profiles, trapped:false, font subset threshold:50.0}
set pdfName to docName & "TEST" & itemNumber & ".pdf"
set destFile to (fileLoc & pdfName) as string
save document 1 in file destFile as pdf with options pdfSaveOptions
set itemNumber to (itemNumber + 1)
end repeat
close current document without saving
end tell

// Save the artboards to PDF.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var original_filename = myDoc.name.toString();
// alert (myDoc.name.toString() )
// Get the folder location
var destFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select the folder to save the PDF files to:');
// Get the number of artboards to export from a dialogue
var total = myDoc.artboards.length
// Number.selectDialogue('Total Number of Files to be made')
if (destFolder) {
 for (i=0; i<total; i++)
 var destFile = new File(destFolder+original_filename+"_"+i); // Assign incrementing filenames
 var pdfSaveOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
 pdfSaveOptions.viewAfterSaving = false; // Don't want to see these fles in Reader
 pdfSaveOptions.SaveMultipleArtboards = true;
 var range = new String();
 range = (i+1).toString();
 pdfSaveOptions.artboardRange= range; // not Assign incrementing page range
 myDoc.saveAs (destFile, pdfSaveOptions);
I've run this script on the 3 art board document the Adobe sample scripts create. It's a just different coloured star on each artboard.
This script appears to work in as far as I get 3 files with just one artboard showing when I open the files in Adobe Reader. Problem is when I open them in AI, I can see all the artwork is still there and even more stranger is the fact that the numbers are still 1,2,3 whereas in Reader it's just page i showing as page 1 each time.
This could be a problem when the application I'm writing generates an image structure from the files if it sticks the excess data onto the GPU (not sure if it will or not). If it includes all the data, also it just makes the Application footprint bigger by a 8 MB or so of unnecessary baggage. An issue for a 'light weight' app.
I noticed the export ExportArtboardsPhotoshop.jsx script has this line:
psdExportOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
It works in that context but in PDF context it only works in terms of what Reader shows not what exists in the files. Good one Adobe… Makes me wonder what the Multiple art boards method did before AI had multiple art boards. How was AI dividing the objects?!
Also I really need a SaveAsCopy (non-existent I think) method or I'll have to keep reopening the original file and then doing SaveAs.
Back to manual duplicating files in finder, batch renaming, opening them all and deleting excess. Or export to PSD and get my dimensions right or just oversized (I can always down sample in the app)…
This is truly a painful exercise!
