Creating individual pdf files?

Hello,
I have a MacBook with OS-X 10.5.8
I used Excel and Word to create a mail merge Word doc which contains grade reports for 75 students. I need to turn each page into an individual pdf document which I can then email to each individual student.
Is there a way to Save As or print to pdf and automatically create 75 new pdf files or do I need to copy, paste and save each page into a new file manually?
Thanks for any help!
I am new to this site so may apologies if this is the incorrect place to post this question.

  • Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

    Post Author: markeyjd2
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Greetings forum members,
    My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
    In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records.  When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
    What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record.  The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
    Is this possible?

    Hi,
    you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
    Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
    First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
      oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
    Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

  • 2 rdf , 2rtf could create 1 pdf file ?

    I was wondering if it is possible to create ONE PDF file from more than 2 rdf.
    here , my thought is... there are 2 rdf that creates each PDF files.
    it would be very useful if there is a techniq that merge those PDF created files into One PDF.

    Hi,
    We had a similar scenario and in this case we had the respective output pdfs generated individually and merge them with PDF DOC Utils in XML publisher.
    A sample java code is:
    * Method used to merge the pdf outputs of all the jobs to generate single pdf output
         * @param mfile          String          final output file name
         private void mergeOutput(String mfile)throws Exception{
         try{
              m_log.writeln("Merge following PDF files", LogFile.EXCEPTION);
              // Initialize inputStreams
              FileInputStream[] inputStreams = new FileInputStream[m_opfiles.size()];
              for(int i=0; i<m_opfiles.size(); i++){
                   m_log.writeln((String)m_opfiles.get(i), LogFile.EXCEPTION);
                   inputStreams[i] = new FileInputStream((String)m_opfiles.get(i));
         // Initialize outputStream
              FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(mfile);
    m_log.writeln("Instantiate PDFDocMerger", LogFile.EXCEPTION);
              // Initialize PDFDocMerger
              PDFDocMerger docMerger = new PDFDocMerger(inputStreams, outputStream);
              docMerger.setPageNumberCoordinates(400, 20);
              docMerger.setPageNumberFontInfo("Arial", 10);
              docMerger.setPageNumberValue(1,1);
              m_log.writeln("Merge Documents ", LogFile.EXCEPTION);
              // Merge PDF Documents and generates new PDF Document
              docMerger.process();
              docMerger = null;
         catch(Exception ex){
              m_log.writeln("Document Merge Failed. " + ex.getMessage(), LogFile.STATEMENT);
              throw new Exception("Document Merge Failed. " + ex.getMessage());
    These classes are part of the library "oracle.apps.xdo.common.pdf.util" which you may consider reviewing.

  • Individual pdf files for every page

    Hi..
    We have a scenario like this.
    We have around 8000 records in a table and we have to generate a report which has to create 8000 pdf files at a stretch. ( 1 pdf for every row)
    Please throw some light on this...and let us know how to do this..
    Thanx and regards
    Sriram

    Hi Sriram,
    You can use 'Advanced Distribution' Feature to achieve this.In the distribution file, use the ' Foreach' tag and set the 'Repeat On' property in the section.
    For more information, have a look at the 15- Chapter: Creating Advanced Distributions in the ' Publishing Reports' manual ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html).

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.  To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf"  I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file.  After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared.  How do I resolve this problem?

    I have a similar problem which i did not have before...and it exists only in some powerpoint files which i want to print as a pdf file...and i get the same message as above.
    the log says the bellow details...what's the problem and how can i resolve it? thanks.

  • How can I create multiple PDF files from multiple InDesign files?

    I have 144 InDesign files that I need to create a PDF file for each. I do not want to open each InDesign file to create the PDF's. Acrobat Batch create won't open the InDesign files. Is there another way?

    Only InDesign can do this. You may want to look at InDesign automation.

  • How do I create 1 pdf file out of multiple pdf's

    I have about 40 individual pdf files that I'd like to turn into 1 file with 40 pages.  How do I do it?
    Thank you, Joe

    Hi Captain Puget,
    You can use either Adobe PDF Pack of Acrobat to combine PDF files. With PDF Pack, you can combine 12 files at once, so you'd have to combine in batches. You wouldn't have that same limitation with Acrobat.
    Please see cloud.acrobat.com and www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?

    Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?
    3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
    or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
    Thank you very much

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
    - 3D Toolkit launches
    - click in 'Scene Tree' panel
    - right-click on top assembly name
    - select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
    - select 'File->Save'
    - select 'File->Exit'

  • How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

    Dear All,
    I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast  two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
    I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
    When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
    However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say,  three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join  them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
    Please help me out.
    I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.

    I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.

    But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,
    even if it outside adobe, shall add greater prestige to your company
    and give impression of user-centeredness.

    Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
    I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
    extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.
    > And, if you read that same document, you will see that there is NO SUCH

    Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
    know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
    I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
    possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
    miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
    and then with no details.

  • Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

    I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
    The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
    However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
    We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
    We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
    So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

    This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
    I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
    And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
    What other layout programs can I use?
    Thank you so much!

  • How to create a pdf-file dynamically

    Hi all,
    does anybody have a tutorial or self-made code, in which is illustrated, how to dynamically create a pdf-file.
    I am getting some information like this: "Line one has a textfield and an input-field", etc. These informations have to be translated as a pdf-file by myself.
    I read, that a pdf-file needs a xdp and the data as an inputstream. Is there anybody who can explain this issue?
    I think, that there are a lot of people, who are interested in this problem.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file

    Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Professional.  This has been done on two computers, one an iMac and the other a MacBook Pro.  Assistance greatly appreciated.

    Yes, Adobe Acrobat X Pro is the same thing as Acrobat X Pro.
    Print to PDF is probably the most reliable way to create a PDF file.
    File > Create > PDF from File
    is shaky.  It works with some file types but not with others.
    Another issue is creating a multi-page PDF from a scanner.  If you neglect to check the box "Prompt for scanning more pages" and, instead, simply try to add a second page, the application crashes.
