Creating a pdf from selection of pages from multiple pdfs

I have a secured collection of pdfs. I would like to create a new pdf from selected pages of this collection. I think the way I'm doing it now is contorted. I screen capture a page, create a new pdf from the clipboard and insert the new pdf to the summary pdf. Is there a better way? I think I'm hampered by the fact that the pdf collection is secured, so my options are limited. I would like to select a page from a pdf and cut and paste the page into a new pdf directly without all these steps. Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention, using Acrobat Professional 8.

Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down men

When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down menu Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes. Every time, no error mesage. Have run "Repair Acrobat Installation" with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am also experiencing the same problem only recently. I have used the program for almost a year without any problems except now. Adobe Acrobat 8 standard, ver 8.1.5.
Whenever I insert pages or rotate, I get an immediate shut down window, “Adobe Acrobat 8.1 ahs encountered a problem and needs to close.
I am no longer able to use this program. Abobe Acrobat 5.0 still works fine. Does anyone have a solution? I already did a repair and reloaded the program.

Extracting the first page of multiple PDFs & saving them as jpegs.

Dear all,
First post - hope its in the right place.
I work in Publishing, and I have been given the following task - I have about 400 ebooks, all in pdf format, and my task is to extract the cover from every one of them (which is the first page of every pdf) and export them all as separate jpeg files (file names can remain exactly the same - ie, the name of the pdf book will be the same as the jpeg file). So I will end up with 400 ebooks and 400 jpegs of their covers.
Anyone have any idea how to do this ?
i have Windows and acrobat 8
I have looked at batch processing in acrobat, but the option to extract the first page of multiple pdf files is not one of the options. there is an option to create your own script which im guessing is my best bet ? (hence why i have posted my question here) Though I don't have the first clue about this. Have done some google searches, and some people have created similar things, but I cant seem to get them to work.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rich

ok, i have found a set of acrobat batch sequence and come across the following :
Batch sequence name: Extract Pages to Folder.sequ. Task: For each file from the selected files, extract each of its pages and save the extracted pages to a particular folder.
Example 2.10 Insert navigation icons
/* Extract Pages to Folder */
// A regular expression to acquire the base name of the file.
var re = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var filename = this.path.replace(re,"");
try
for ( var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++ )
this.extractPages
nStart: i,
cPath: "/C/temp/myDocs/"+filename+"_"+i+".pdf" // change this });
catch (e)
console.println("Batch Aborted: " + e )
looks like i need something like this, but tried the above earlier, and couldnt get it to work (prob cause I didnt replace the words exactly correctly). I am guessing that i am entering this in the correct place though (ie - create new sequence, and got into the script editor box)

How do you can change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents of different sizes that I want to combine.

Help. How do I change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents in varying sizes I would like to combine and print.

There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

Combine content from selected aspx pages and Consolidate to pdf

Hi All,
I have a new requirement in one of the SharePoint portals :
Contents are placed on ASPX pages using a content editor
A feature to select pages and combine all the content from content editor of these pages into a pdf document
Is there a way to access only
the content stored in content editor and consolidate them in to one data source and then convert that in to a pdf file ?
Thanks in Advance
Pallavi

Hi Pallavi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to convert the content in content editor webpart to PDF file.
I suggest you can use read content from content editor web part to a string variable using ContentEditorWebPart class.
Here is a code demo about reading content using ContentEditorWebPart class:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/87499/how-to-get-content-from-content-editor-webpart-cewp-to-a-custom-webpart-on-the
ContentEditorWebPart.Content property:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.webpartpages.contenteditorwebpart.content(v=office.15).aspx
Then you can generate PDF file with string variable. To create PDF file, you need to download PDFsharp library and reference the dll in your project.

How to print a selection of pages from a 3000 page PDF without having to scroll two wheels! Also is there a way to set printer options for just black and white? Seems like there is a lot missing here?

I have been using this for school work as much as possible and have come across a problem. With my lack of knowledge for apple it seems as though I can't navigate myself to a easy answer. The problem hits when I am printing pages off of a large document, and I don't want to print the entire document in color but I have no way "that I can find" for a black and white print option...
----- also a larger issue, when printing I need to select 1 page or even 20 pages... The time it takes to use a scroll wheel and the fact if you try and scroll fast sometimes you click off the screen then you have to start scrolling all over again... It seems like you would beagle to input from say page 1224 to 1236.... Instead I have a scroll a wheel? Just doesn't make sense...?
Can someone please help solve this for me!

Yes, that fixed it, thanks! I had no idea they clashed like that. I ruthlessly purged all other tables of contents, and then used Layout > Table of Contents to create a new one, and it worked.
It made more sense after seeing in this thread that table of contents styles are more like presets or entities than styles.

Open a PDF to a specific page from command line

I want to open a locally stored PDF file to a specific page from the command line. I have seen examples of accessing web based files using http and the #page= parameter but this does not seem to work for a file stored on my local drive. I want to be able to use VBA from MS Access to control the opening page.

Hi cfwoodbury,
When opening a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass the parameters to the open command using the /A switch with the following syntax:
<Acrobat path> /A "<parameter>=<value>" "<PDF path>"
For example:
Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000" "C:\example.pdf"

When I create a shortcut to a web page from FireFox to the desktop, how can I force Firefox to open from it when I.E. is default and has to stay that way?

I have a customer that likes to use Firefox browser and does for all they can. Unfortunately they have to also us I.E. with some of their business companies so their browser is set to I.E. by default and must stay that way. Tried changing default for brevity we will just say opened to many other problems. SO, is there a way to create a short cut to the desktop from Firefox and force that shortcut to open with Firefox and not with the default browser IE?
Thanks,
Mark

Hello,
You can create a new Firefox shortcut on the desktop and add the website address after Firefox. For example:
Under the shortcut tab, the target could read:
* "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "www.google.ca"

Why the window setting the printing disappeared when I try to select the page number of pdf file

When I send the pdf file to the printer and try to select the page number to be printed by entering (e.g., 4-10), the page for setting up printing work suddenly disappeared. As a result, I could only print pdf files from page 1 to the end, if I want to print any document. I have no problem with printing word documents. Thus, it should not be problems related to printer, right ?
Your help is highly appreciated !

What is your operating system? Reader version?
You mean the Print panel completely disappears when you enter some page numbers?

How to create a cross ref. between html page to external PDF file

Hi all,
I don't know if it can be done but i'd like to create cross ref. or link from an html page (using robo#7) to a pdf file - in a spesific location i.e heading/bookmark inside the pdf. Is it possible? & if so, how do I do it?
Thanks a lot,
Tali

Hi Tali.
I believe it is, although I've never tried. The syntax is the same as for bookmarks in a HTM file. You just specify the URL for the PDF with #bookmark on the end (where bookmark = the PDF bookmark name). For example <a href=http://www.adobe.com/prodlist.pdf#bookmark>.

How can I get a total page count of a PDF before placing every page in the PDF?

Before the [long] spiel, I'm using javascript in InDesign CS3.
I'd like to create a script that places a multiPage PDF in any number of different impositions. (saddle stitch, 4up signatures, 16up signatures etc.)
I've easily created a script that iterates through a PDF and places it into a new document as (4,1|2,3), (8,5|6,7) etc, which works for printing in duplex, folding each page in half, and gluing the resulting spines to make a simple thick book (for PDFs with more than, say, 64 pages).
However, the next step is to re-write the script to create a saddle stitch document (16,1|2,15), (14,3|4,13) ... (10,7|8,9). For this I need to know how many pages there are in the PDF before I start placing the PDF pages, and then making the new document [int((PDFpages+3)/4)] pages long.
Is there a simple way to get the count of PDFpages without going through a loop and placing the next page from the PDF until the placed page number equals the first page number?
This way seems wasteful:
var totPDFPages = 1;
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = totPDFPages;
myPDFPage = sheetFront.place(File(srcPDF), [0,0])[0];
var pdfFirstPage = myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber;
while (doneCounting == false) {
totPDFPages += 1;app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = totPDFPages;
myPDFPage = sheetFront.place(File(srcPDF), [0,0])[0];
if (myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber == pdfFirstPage) {
totPDFPages -=1;
doneCounting = true;
alert("PDF has " + totPDFPages + " pages!");exit();
myPDFPage.remove();
NB. Javascript above *hasn't* been run, but should look similar once debugged.
The only thing I've though of to relieve the sheer duplication of placing the PDF twice (once for the count, and once for the imposition), is to create an array of impoPages[counter]=myPDFPage, and then shuffle the pages referenced by the array to the correct sheet and position.
It'd be much easier to be able to assign pageCount = File(srcPDF).pageCount !!!
Thanks for any help/tips or even a simple "What are you smoking, man!?"
Cheers,
Jezz

this will get almost all pdf pages count.

function getPDFPageCount(f){

f = new File(f.fsName);
f.encoding = "Binary";
if(!f.open("r","TEXT","R*ch")){return -1;}
f.seek(0, 0); var str = f.read(); f.close();
if(!str){return -1;}
//f = new File(Folder.temp+"/123.TXT");
//writeFile(f, str.toSource()); f.execute();
var ix, _ix, lim, ps;
ix = str.indexOf("/N ");
if(ix == -1){
    var src = str.toSource();
    _ix = src.indexOf("<< /Type /Pages /Kids [");
    if(_ix == -1){
      ps = src.match(/<<\/Count (\d+)\/Type\/Pages\/Kids\[/);
      if(ps == null){
        ps = src.match(/obj <<\\n\/Type \/Pages\\n\/Count (\d+)\\n\/Kids \[/);

    if(ix == -1){return -1;}
    _ix = src.indexOf(">>", ix);
    if(_ix == -1){return -1;}
