Creating multi page PDF's

I know I posted this before, yet I cannot believe that I cannot somehow create Multi-Page PDF's for mailing. I'm a student working on many papers, I write in Pages (Hate Word) export to PDF and mail them separately. It is so unprofessional, I need to organize the PDF's into one document. Does anyone know a download for this? Thanks in advance.

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 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

Hi, what are the step by step instructions for creating a multi-page pdf made from jpegs using bridge ? I can't find the insructions.
Thanks !

You can find everything you want to know if you look at the Adobe Bridge
Help under the Help Menu and use PDF as search criteria.
For a contact sheet in PDF you can use the Adobe Output Module (either
choose workspace Output Module or use the right icon in the top left row in
Bridge Window.
Select the files you want and fill in the details for row and columns to
your own wishes, quality etc. There will be as many pages created as needed
with the selected files.

Create multi-page PDF with photoshop CS3

Hi,
I have created 8 A4-sized PSD documents in Photoshop CS3 and I would like to create a single PDF document with 8 pages.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I would really appreciate any help that people can offer, as I am stumped!
Thank you in advance,

FILE> Automate PDF presentation
add open files or point it to your folder of files
after you hit save will be a dialog box to choose options
make sure to make the proper selections for quality, based on your purpose
a PDF made for commercial printing will be large
If you want to put it on internet or email you need to select the setttings
for web based doc
OR you could open acrobat and create a multipage document
I think the default is 8.5x11
(not sure) but if you have unusual size paper
make sure to change the page layout to that

Create Multi-page PDF option is missing

Acrobat 8 professional. Strange.......One of the machines in our studio is missing this option....any ideas????

Currently when I run the following I get a single page PDF
file populated with the information from the last record of the
query. Using <cfdocumentitem type = "pagebreak"/> makes sense
but I'm not sure where it would go relative to the code below. I
also will need a <cfdocument> tag if using
<cfdocumentitem> and again I'm not sure where which tag
should sit inside which.
<cfquery name="getEmpInfo" datasource="fai">
select firstname, lastname
from employee
</cfquery>
<cfpdfform action="POPULATE"
destination="E:\www\output.pdf" source="E:\www\form.pdf"
overwrite="yes" overwritedata="no">
<cfloop query="getEmpInfo">
<cfpdfsubform name="form1">
<cfpdfformparam
name="School_Administrator_Activation_Code"
value="#getEmpInfo.firstname#">
<cfpdfformparam name="School_Code"
value="#getEmpInfo.lastname#">
</cfpdfsubform>
</cfloop>

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 multi page PDF in illustrator CC?

Hello, can anyone help with this, used to be able to do it easily in CS but doesnt seem to be available when saving a PDF file in CC?..... really frustrating!

Hi Monika,
When I open my old tiled illustrator file in CC, it asks if I want to open a legacy art board. I do this.
This then displays on screen correctly as the individually paged tiles.
This is all fine. However when I then want to save as PDF there is no option to save this PDF as a multipage document.
The saved PDF file just comes out as one long single drawing board page and isn’t split into individual pages when read back in by Acrobat

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.

How can you create a multi-page pdf document in photoshop elements 13?

I previously had pse 11 and was able to create multi-page documents as pse files. However, pse 13 does not allow. How can I create multi-page pdf files from pse 13?

Alas, for one of those mysterious adobe reasons, it's gone in recent versions. Only multipage file you can make is a photobook.

Photoshop CS5 pdf size fine - Bridge Multi page pdf size not fine

I know it must be asked a thousand times but here goes:
PDFs saved by photoshop display the true document size (let's say 70cm width on 72ppi)
When I try to create multi page pdfs fro bridge (thanks Adobe!), no matter how many ways I try to set it up, the image always is small in the center of a white background. Always.
What gives?

Hi,
1. Why dont u try it in pdf itself?
U can just crop the required area in pdf file using crop tool so it can be applied for all the pages at a time.
2. If u trying to remove particular area on a pdf u can place a white box on that area using pitstop tool it can be saved as actionlist like batch processing and applied for any number of pages and files.
Making this in pdf itself won't get u more file size. Size will be as equal as ur source file.

Can't save as multi-page PDF in CS4

Hey everyone, I'm having major trouble with page tiling in CS4.
I have a CS2 file that has two pages in it with page tiling enabled, I saved this as a PDF with multiple pages just fine out of CS2. I now have it open in CS4 and am unable to do the same thing, my PDF always comes out as one long page. I can't work with multiple artboards because the file will be used in CS2 again and needs to remain backwards compatible.
In the Print Dialogue I have "Tile" set to "Full Pages", the print preview window on the left shows me two pages, just the way it should be.
Once I go into the Save as PDF Dialogue in CS4, I do not have the "Create Multi-Page PDF from page tiling" - option that is there in CS2 in the general tab.
I've been trying to find a solution for the past two hours but am at my wit's end. I'd greatly appreciate some help.

Just draw two artboards where the tiles would be then save it as a pdf. I should open in CS 2 without the artboards since CS 2 does not support artboards.
Nothing will be different in CS2.
Or simply make a copy for CS 4 with artboards and one for CS 2 but adding artboards to the CS 2 file when opned in CS 4 should be a problem.

PS/BRIDGE CS5 multi-page PDF + selectable text

since i started using CS5 i cant figure out how to make multi-page PDF's and selectable text i know that now bridge does the job with PDF's but i dnt know how to make text selectable, ive noticed that doing file -> automate -> batch then save as pdf will make PDF's with selectable text but this wont gives me an option to create multi page PDFs, sooo annoying grrrrrrr

Assuming you're coming from an earlier version of Photoshop, you'll find the ability to make a multi-page PDF has been removed from Photoshop.
There's some more information on that, written by an Adobe employee, here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3434502#3434502

HP 2540 scanning to create a multi-page pdf (Mac OS X)

My printer/scanner is: HP 2540
My OS is Mac OS X 10.10
Need help with the following:
How can I scan single pages (an old tax return) to create one multi-page PDF? I saw a reply on how to do it in Windows, but not using OS X. Any assistance would be appreciated as I need to get this done for legal reasons.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello @txrun ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you would like to scan multiple pages into on PDF document.
I would like to help.
It really depends on how you are scanning.
Are you using Apples Image Capture or HP Scan?
If you are using HP Scan, it should be quite simple.
Scan the first page.
You should have a preview of the page on the left hand column of the window.
You will also have a little plus sign found at the lower left hand corner of the window.
Change the page on the scanner glass then click the little plus sign.
If you are using the Apple Image Capture, you will have to change the format from JPEG to PDF.
This will cause a little box to appear under it, that will say 'combine multiple pages into single file'
Check this box and proceed to scan.
Hope this helps you.
