Creating blank pages in illustrator

I am trying to make a series of blank pages in illustrator with automator with the 'watch me do' function. I would like to make different size pages where it will start with 1'x1' and increase by half a foot at a time until it has 1'x1' to 5'x24'. I have every size I need in a spread sheet as well as the name I want each page to have.
My problem is I don't know how to make the 'watch me do' function copy the info from the next row. So for the first set it would take copy a1 of my spreadsheet and paste it as height, then copy a2 and paste it as width, then copy a3 and paste it as file name. Then in the next loop copy b1, b2, and b3.
How do I let it know to keep taking subsequent row?

No, I didn't run the actions as a batch, as there are several SVG files I need to do other things to... in addition to sending them back to the same folder as an eps. So really I wanted to make edits... then click on the action to save it. It just saves me a few steps.

  • PowerPoint to PDF creates "blank" pages

    I just downloaded Acrobat 9 this afternoon and have tried several times to convert a very large PowerPoint presentation to a PDF file.  One time is said "unexpected error" mesaage, so I shut down and restarted.   The second time, it made the PDF file, but there were a lot of blank pages throughout the PDF document.   Does anyone have any thoughts on fixing this??

    Here was my dilemma.  I was printing multiple files as Notes Pages to PDF. I had files created in Powerpoint 2010, natively and by me; files created in 2010 by someone else; files created in 2003 by me; and files created in 2003 by someone else.  The files created by someone else didn't work.  The ones created on this machine did.  I tried countless printing options, restarted the print spooler, nothing helped.  Then I embedded the true type fonts (all characters), saved the file to disk, closed it and re-opened it and POOF it worked.
    My problem was only on Notes Pages printing or saving to PDF, and only with presentations not created on this machine regardless of version.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to Create Blank pages & no links for more pages

    Hello,
    just started using iweb ...is there a way to create a blank page not associated with pictures, podcasts movies etc and I want to create a site with multiple picture pages but i dont want a link for every single page on my heading or that area between my header and the body.
    whats happening right now is there is a link for every page in my site on the heading if i keep this up my heading will look like a big paragraph
    thanks for any help

    If you want a page not to be displayed in the navigational menu, then just click on the Inspector and click on the Page tab (second from the left). Under the name of the page (which you can also change here) there is a box to include page in navigation menu. Just uncheck that box and your page won't show up. Of course, I assume you will have a link to the undisplayed page(s) from other pages that are in the menu.
    Hey, if this answered you question, could you please click on the "solved" or "helpful" button that you see in the title bar of my reply? I would really appreciate it.

  • Imported file creating blank page

    I have a file of boilerplate text. My current document imports this (as a referenced file). The boilerplate file concludes with a table and then a single blank line using the Normal paragraph style. It all looks just fine in the boilerplate file.
    However, in my document file, there's an extra blank page and I cannot delete. When I try to delete it, I get an error: "Cannot delete pages. They contain imported text that extends outside the page range you are deleting. Convert the text insets to text and try again."
    Any suggestions?

    I do not have pagination set to "make page count even" and I was importing into a paragraph of style "normal." However, you gave me an idea. I did some experimentation and this seems to fix it:
    1. Open the file to be inserted. It should end with an empty paragraph, with font size of 2. Save & close.
    2. Delete the inserted file from the chapter or document file.
    3. If the extra blank page is still present, delete it.
    4. Create a an empty paragraph where the inserted file will go, with font size of 2.
    5. Put the cursor on the new empty paragraph and insert the file.
    6. Refresh all references.
    I know it seems convoluted, but it does appear to be working.

  • OCR creates blank pages

    I have a Windows 7 home premium and the Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.2.  OCR had been working fine.Today that stopped and I don't have a clue why because no changes were made prior to the problem occuring today.
    Today, after I opened a pdf document in Acrobat and perform ocr text recogniation on an image pdf with multiple pages, Acrobat does fine on text recognition on the first page but every other page in the document becomes blank (even the pages that are not in the ocr page recognition span become blank) -- no text - no anything, just blank pages. I had been using 9.4.1 and this problem started today.  So, I updated to 9.4.2 and the same problem occurs.

    I had the same problem recently, go to the document menu and select optimized scanned pdf
    then try the ocr again and it should eliminate the blank pages, at least it worked for me.  I also scanned the document at 600dpi before optimizing.

  • PDF Printing drops text or creates blank pages

    I have the same problem as "alacker2" who noted this problem 2 days ago.  The original prints fine from the source document and when printed from another computer. This problem exists for both of my printers (HP).  I also experience blank pages when trying to print a PDF from another site. This problem is not consistent because I can print a similar page of the same document elements (tables, text and graphic (PDF))

    I am printing from both a browser (safari) and from Acrobat Pro XI.  The browser version was also saved to my computer and when I attempted to print, the results were blank pages. MAC OS 10.9.3. The printers are HP officeJet Pro 8600 and HP LaserJet P1102W

  • Web publish tool creates blank page

    I've been having some trouble with the LabVIEW web publishing tool. It seems that when I try to publish the front panel of my vi, a blank web page is produced instead. To publish, I select Tools>>Web Publishing Tool..., then select my VI from the VI name dropdown menu. I select monitor mode and use a refresh rate of a couple seconds. From there, I try to view a page preview, but all I see is a blank white page. When I try to view the html source of this page, it looks like a blank html document (i.e. view source just shows a blank page as well). 
    When I follow the web publishing wizard through to completion, I visit the address that the page is supposed to be published at, but get the same blank page results as I did in the preview. Note that I don't get a 404, just a blank page. However, when I look at the html document that was produced, it does contain a page (I've attached the html it produces, all I've done is change the extension to text so I could upload it).
    I'm running LabVIEW 2009. The vi in question is in memory, running on the server computer. I have enabled the web server, but in the web publishing wizard, the "Start Web Server" button is inaccessible.
    Does anyone know what might be wrong? Or better yet how to fix it?

    Jordan,
    What I meant was that the VI was running on the computer that is acting as the server, which is in fact the same computer I was testing from. So yes, the problem still arose there. I have made some progress on this issue- it seems that it might be due to some bug with the Browser Access List. Our Browser Access list was empty. Whenever I tried to add something to it (i.e. by typing "*" into the Browser Address bar, selecting the "Allow viewing" radio button and then clicking the "Add" button), a blank entry would show up in the Browser access list. After hitting "ok" on the options box, the blank entry seemed to dissapear; when I would revisit the settings page under "tools->Options->Web Server" the browser list would show up totally empty again.
    I was able to fix this problem just by typing "*" into the Browser Address bar, clicking "Add", and toggling back and forth between the radio button access options a few times. Eventually the * showed up as an entry in the browser access list, and when I hit ok the option seems to persist (so I can leave the Web Server options dialogue and return to it later to see that the * is still added with the proper permissions).
    However, I'm still having problems. Now when I visit the url of my web published vi, I get the message "Client does not have access to the specified VI." I currently have the settings such that I think all browser clients should have view & control permissions for our published vis. I have attached a screenshot of this message and of our current browser permissions screen. Is this the proper set up? If not, what do I need to do to give viewing permissions to all clients?

  • Acrobat Pro 9: "Merge files into a single pdf" creates blank pages

    I have a similar problem as a previous post (which hasn't been answered).
    I am able to pdf individual Word documents fine, but when I try to Combine > Merge files into a single pdf, the resulting pdf pages are all blank. I don't receive any error messages or have problems saving the file.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (9.5.1) on Windows 7.
    The merging of pdf's hasn't worked at all since I installed the program.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi Bill
    Thanks so very much - you have solved the problem.
    I tried Document > Insert Pages and that worked.
    I then ran the "Repair" feature on Adobe which installed a few updates and I am now also able to merge pdf's by using the "Combine" feature and all the pages show the text/info.
    Thanks again for your help, it is very much appreciated.
    Thank you also to Apoorv for your assistance.

  • 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.

  • Inserting blank pages on Adobe Reader for Android

    I'm a student and I use the Adobe Reader app for all my note-taking in lectures. If the lecture slides aren't released as .pdfs, I convert them before I go to my lecture because the Adobe Reader for Android app is so good for notetaking.
    However, economics is full of graphs, and I have to draw these on my lecture pad because there's rarely enough space on the slide pdfs. Is it possible to insert empty pages on Adobe Reader for Android? If not, are there plans to make this a feature? I think it would make Adobe Reader for Android the only notetaking app students need.

    Generally I just save the file as PDF in Powerpoint, but if I don't have access to a computer, I use the app PowerPoint2PDF on my Nexus 7.
    iAnnotate has the ability to create blank pages when taking notes on a PDF, but it's much clunker than Adobe Reader on Android.

  • While creating a PDF document usinf Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it generates additional blank pages.

    While creating a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it generates additional blank pages. How do I resolve this issue?

    I might make a wild guess that you are using WORD and have used hard page breaks. If that is the case, then likely what happens is when you print to PDF the document is being reflowed to match the printer and the forced page break may end up on the next page and be forcing a second page. Just a guess.

  • How do I create a multi-page doc / add blank pages in PSE 11?

    I am creating printable PDF files and up to yesterday I was using a free trial of PSE 10. To create a multi page document I first saved it as a PSE project file, then added blank pages, then when I was done I saved it as a PDF and voila - done!
    Now my trial has run out I have bought the paid version (which is now version 11) and I seem to have lost that option entirely. The product is useless to me without a way to create multi page PDFs - can anyone help?
    Alternatively can I downgrade back to PSE10 which was fine for me!
    Thanks

    Thanks - I just spent an hour online to support, they won't refund me until they can work out why it won't allow it in the new version?!! So they have shared my screen and taken my files to be worked on "at the next level" - there didn't seem to be an option to accept that this feature just wasn't available in the version 11, they kept trying to make it do it. Especially as they could open my multi page projects created in version 10 and add pages to them!
    Anyway, I would be open to using another free software MichelBParis, but I found it such a steep learning curve to figure out how to do it in PSE10, it would need to be simple. Do you have links to any you could recommend?
