Creating a pdf document with both single pages and spreads

Hi, i'm not sure if this is possible, but basically i'd like to set up a document which allows me view the first three pages as single sheets and the remainder of the document as a booklet. The reason for this is I'm sending a cover letter, CV and then a booklet via email to apply for a job, and the booklet i have created has graphics which run accross the spread. I was hoping to lay the document as such:
1. cover letter
2. CV
3. Booklet front cover
4-5. booklet spread
6-7. booklet spread
8-9. booklet spread
I'm not too familiar with how to set this up (or if this is possible), could anyone point me in the right direction?

@Dave Merchant - The pages are true spreads, I've had a go at attempting to define the page type by the master but i can't seem to get it to split the document so that the first three pages remain single. I had a go at trying to create an entire new document with the pages in in order, but not sure how to insert single pages and spreads combined within the document.
@Test Screen Name - Do you know how i would be able to create such a document within indesign? i've had a look for some answers in the documentation but havent come accross anything yet (im on CS5). I had a go at combining the documents as the booklet and the single pages, but when i change the view options in acrobat to two page the first pages becomes a cover and the second and third are next to each other.

How do I create a PDF document with multiple different page sizes?

I scan tif images and can have a single document with Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and even full map plan sizes (36" X 24") all in one document. I get the document all set, then do a: File, Print, choose Adobe PDF (running Acrobat XI Pro), but it converts all the pages in my tif file to a single size.
I've found where to set the size, but the problem is I have many different sizes. Is there a way to have the Adobe PDF printer, just use the original documents page sizes for each page when converting?

The program I use to create the TIF files (OpenText's eDOCS Imaging) does not make PDFs, it makes TIFs (and TIFFs). To then convert this, if I try to do it through Adobe directly, I get an error which prompts me to open it in the native program and to choose print and then select the adobe printer.
This works perfect if every page is the same size, but many times my documents have many different page sizes as well as portrait and landscape within the same document (but that is a separate option).
Doesn't Adobe have a "use the original page size / orientation" as an option when creating PDFs from existing documents?

How to create a PDF document with page curls using Adobe CS 4?

My goal is to create a PDF document with page curls. I am using Adobe CS 4.
1.      The document was created in Adobe InDesign CS 4 where the page turn (curl) transition was applied.
2.      Then the document was exported to .swf.
3.     The .swf file was imported into   Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a PDF file with flip page or page curl transitions.
These are the problems.
1.      The background is not transparent.
2.      Page dimensions have to be increased at least an inch in width and length so that the full page can show
3.      The command and+   will not only increases the document's screen size. It increases the page margins.

PDF was never designed to support the Flash page curl effect (it didn't exist back then). Anything you try (and you've tried the standard hack) will look like a hack. Personally, I don't think the effort is worth it for an effect that's much overused.

Creating a PDF document with visible bookmarks

Hi.
I'm using VB to create a PDF document with bookmarks. I have no problem with this part.
What I want to do, though, is to program the document so that the bookmarks pane is visible when I open the document.
Any ideas?
All Best,
Ethan

I found the answer in the Interapplication Communication API Reference:
Dim SetPageMode as Boolean = PDDoc.SetPageMode(nPageMode),
where nPageMode has the possible values:
0: leave the view mode as is
1: display without bookmarks or thumbnails
2: display using thumbnails
3: display using bookmarks

I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?

Take a look at the FileSelector
First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

How to create a pdf document with specific security settings

Hallo,
in Adobe Acrobat you can set security settings which make documents unprintable, unchangeable etc.
What I want to do is: I want to set these security settings by creating the pdf-document, because I do not want to open every document and change the security settings. Is this possible at all???
Thank you for help
Elisabeth

How are you creating the documents? If using Adobe PDF printer, use the security options in Adobe PDF printer settings. If using PDFMakers (Acrobat buttons inside Office applications, open the Preferences menu item and set security there)

How do I create a PDF document with a URL so that I can link it to my webpage?

I am in the middle of creating a business website. Some of the words on a page I've highligted and set them as a link to other information. I've typed up a Word doc and saved it as a PDF and on my webpage I have: Click here to see a sample report. I want to create a link so that when someone clicks on it the PDF document will open up. How do I do that?

Hi,
This is not the right forum for this, please ask it in Acrobat forum.
Regards,
Perry

We created a pdf document with comments and hyperlinks. On iPad, comments/hyperlinks disappear.

Using Acrobat Pro 9, we created a pdf with comments and hyperlinks to be shared with a large community on the iPad, through a server. Once the document is opened on the iPad, all the comments and hyperlinks disappear. Are we missing a tool on the iPad or is there a different way to create this file? Thank you.

Is everyone on the iPad using the latest version of Adobe Reader mobile for iOS (10.6 at the moment)? You can see all the comments (including drawing markups) as well as view the notes attached to text markup with this version.

CFChart images broken when creating a PDF document with SSL

I have a report that I create with Coldfusion, that includes a number of CFChart objects. I recently installed a new SSL certificate, and now all the charts show up as broken links.   It shows up fine if I try and display this as HTML. On the chance it was something weird about my (lengthly) report, I created the following sample code that I saved in a file called foo.cfm:
<cfset sDir = "C:/">
<cfset filename = "foo123.pdf">
<cfdocument format="pdf" filename="#filename#" overwrite="yes" marginleft=".7" margintop=".3" backgroundvisible="yes">
TEST 12345
<br>
<br>
<div style="height:500px;float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-top:10px; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;">
    <cfchart
        format="png"
        chartwidth="400"
        chartheight="360"
        showborder="no"
        databackgroundcolor="##ffffff"
        fontbold="yes"
        sortxaxis="no"
        yoffset=".1"
        scaleto="100"
        showmarkers="no"
        show3d="no"
        fontsize="11"
          >
    <cfchartseries type="bar" datalabelstyle="none" seriescolor="##00CC99" paintstyle="shade">
    <cfchartdata item="B" value="40">
    <cfchartdata item="A" value="50">
    <cfchartdata item="E" value="80">
    <cfchartdata item="S" value="30">
    </cfchartseries>
    </cfchart>
</div>
</cfdocument>
<cfoutput>
<a href="#filename#" target="_blank">Foo</a>
</cfoutput>
If I go to the URL https://www.mywebsite.com/foo.cfm, the foo.pdf file shows a broken link. If instead I go to http://www.mywebsite.com/foo.cfm the image of the chart shows up just fine.
The weird thing is that I have an older server running CF9.0.0. On this server it works just fine. On another server with 9.0.1, it breaks. Same with 9.0.2, and CF 10.
I read something about needing to install the cert in a keystore, and I did this but it changed nothing. The image is still broken in the pdf.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. We have been able to work around the issue by posting the image in a non-secure location, but this seems like a hack, not a proper solution.

Hi Anit, thanks for the feedback. I did try this on a different server, using the instructions here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/import-certificates-certificate-stores-coldfusion.htm l
and then restarted ColdFusion, but it didn't seem to fix the issue. How would I check that the certificate has been correctly imported? Also, how can I define what URL Coldfusion uses to get the images it creates with CFChart?   Though it seems to me this should "just work" by default, if I've followed the steps correctly, and I should have to edit any config files.

Create a pdf document with an expiration date.

as I can do to make the pdf document has an expiration date, starting from the date in which it has fallen.

Actually, it can be done with JS, but it is far from a secure solution and there are various ways a user can get around it (download a new copy of the file, disable JS entirely, change their local time, etc.), so yes, for a real solution you'll need to use DRM technology.

Print PDF document with printer's name and date/time of print

Hi,
I'm pretty new to this...
I have a PDF document and when I print it, I want the printer's name and the date/time of print to be showed on the printer's output.
I have several printers (some local and some on network) and don't necessarly use the default one. I would like the name of the printer used, to be printed on the document.
With var h = this.getField("Printer"); h.value = app.printerNames; I'm able to get the list of all printers available but I just need the one used.
For the date/time, using var f = this.getField("Today"); f.value = util.printd("mmm/d/yyyy", new Date()); gives me the date/time of when the document is open, not when the document is printed. (or maybe I'm missing something?)
I guess the date/time issue is not the major one as there is usually not much difference between the time you open the document and the time you print it.
I'm more interested in the printer's name.
I use Acrobat Pro 9 to edit my PDF document.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks!

This project was left aside for a while... but it's now finished!
Thank you for the answers. It was helpful.
Here is a step-by-step of what I did (using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1):
Open PDF document in Acrobat
Select Forms -> Add or Edit Fields
Add two text fields: one called "Today" for the date and one called "Printer" for the printer name
Close the form editing
Select Advanced -> Document Processing -> Set Document Actions...
Then select Document Will Print and Edit
Paste the following code:
var f = this.getField("Today"); f.value = util.printd("dd mmm yyyy - HH:MM", new Date());
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
this.getField("Printer").value = pp.printerName;
Save your PDF
Enjoy!
The date and printer name field will be automatically updated when you print the document!

How can I insert an additional page without screwing up the master layouts? I have a document with multiple sized pages and the same master applied to each page.

My document is currently 10 pages. There are 5 different sizes of the pages. They all have the same master page applied to them. When I go to insert a new page and/or duplicate a page...it screws up where the master layout goes. Surely there is simple way to do this??
For example:
These pages are all inserts for a sales folder.
Pages 7 and 8 are sized at 8.5" w X 10.25" h. Pages 9 and 10 are sized at 8.5" w X 11" h.
I need to duplicate page 8 and have it go between 8 and 9 and it needs to be sized like pages 7 and 8 (or 8.5" w X 10.25" h)
When I go to to do this, it screws up the master page layout for the remaining pages of the document.
I have tried several ways to do this. Can anyone help??
Thanks!

Try to define 5 different master pages.

Single pages and spreads in alternate layouts

Hi, I am currently creating an alternate layout for a multipage InDesign document that already contains my print version inside the document. I have an understanding on how to create the alternate layout (for IPad: 1024px X 768px) yet when I create them the alternate Ipad layout appears as spreads. How can I make them into single pages while maintaining my spreads in my print layout.

You’re wasting your time, IMO. There’s simply no need to do this.
I would save it as a new file and work on that.
That said, I would encourage you to post in the InDesign EPUB forum.
BTW, what version of InDesign are you using?

How to creat pdf documents with printing restrictions in Aperture

Hi,
I wondered if it is possible to create a pdf document made up of 9-12 image per page contact sheets, to send to clients that restricts the client to open and view only i.e no printing allowed.
Photoshop allows this, however i would like to create /correct versions in aperture and then create a pdf [with the above printing restrictions applied, simply to save time.
the way i work in photoshop is to export approx a 500 to 1000 jpegs [ per client] in aperture to a folder which I then open with Bridge- create the contact sheets and then create the pdf document with printing restrictions applied.
is there any way for me to make this simpler, especially just using Aperture?

just been reading about terminal on another thread.... Spinning beach ball,,[page 2 of Aperture discussions].Apparently there is a command line explained there that can help speed up Aperture. I tried it but Had a problem when trying to type in my Password... It would not let me type anything....So I canceled the proceedure. [ knowing my luck I would cause some irrepairable damage to the machine].
Think I need to do a lot of reading up to get up to scratch with folk using this discussion Board!!!
With regards to the pdfauxinfo- is it complicated to get running, or does it run straiaght away in automator?
