Different CAD parts on one pdf page?

is it possible to load several different CAD parts (merge) in one 3d window on a single pdf page?
Was hardly looking for this feature but without sucsess..

You need to use the 3D Toolkit for that.
The 3D Toolkit ships with Acrobat 3D. You can find it by clicking on the 'Start->All Programs' menu and look for 'Adobe Acrobat 3D Version 8 Toolkit'.
With 3D Toolkit, you need first to use File->Open on the first part and then 'File->Merge File' for the other parts you want to load.
Then go to 'File->Save As' to export the result and choose U3D for 'Save As Type' which you can read back into A3D to create a PDF.

How to extract part of a pdf page and save that as a pdf page on its own?

I need to extract part of a pdf page. I know how to extract full page, but that is not what I want. I need to extract part of it, ideally, using the mouse to select some rectangular area, and export the selected part to either separate pdf page, or to export to vector graphics such as .svg
Is there a tool to allow one to do this? Currently I take screen shot of the page, and use other tools to extract the parts I want. thanks.

thank you. The crop tools helps. But I am still not sure what to do after I select the area I want. I looked at Acrobat Help | Crop PDF pages
So, after I select the crop tool and select the area. Now what to do?
If I double click the cropped area, as the help says, it will just delete everything on the page except the cropped area.
How do I tell it to either export the selected area to .svg, or save the selected area to a separate one page pdf file? I do not want to modify the original PDF file, I just want to make a copy of the cropped area, either to .svg image, or to separate pdf file, so I can include that in another document.

How to overlay one pdf page onto other page?

Hi,
I don't know how to overlay one pdf page onto other. Remember, i am not looking to merge them. Please let me know which software will help me in doing that.
Thanks

Hi samik79976082,
You can use the Background tool in Acrobat to overlay one PDF page over another. Please see this thread for details:
Can you overlay two PDF documents, but use second PDF as watermark to first?
If you don't have Acrobat, feel free to give it a try. You can download the 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

How do I: put multiple PDF pictures into one PDF page?

I have just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro Ver 9 - so this apllication and its associated SDK are the only applications available to me for use.
Adobe Acrobat was chosen because of its AutoCAD capabilities (when AutoCAD is not present). i.e. Using Acrobat & AutoCAD's plot configuration files & Pen / colour selection table ensures the output has correct line thicknesses (sometimes colours in CAD are used to represent a line's thickness) - this is preserved when using Acrobat.
The generated output is fantastic. However, when I try to print the output via Excel / Word (used for layout) - my perfect output is reduced to imperfect results.
So: is it possible to layout multiple PDF pictures inside one PDF entity for printing purposes such that the original output is not distorted?
I have in the past put pages in front or behind other pages but cannot find any references or code that works with Pro 9 nor indeed the manual way to insert PDF pages at any location on a single PDF Page?
I'll try and explain. My template coud consist of 6 boxes on a single A4 page thus:
My base PDF Page (can be thought of as a template - ideally it wont be printed - but even if it is - it wont be printed on any media material) has 6 areas (any number of areas up to 100) on it. In each area, there is a box. It is within these boxes that I wish to place a PDF Picture. Not all pictures will be the same. How can I do that? Ideally I'd like some example C# code - though doing it as a user will suffice, for now.
Is there a way of programmatically selecting each of the above boxes on the base PDF Document?
I do know of one manual method (though it seems long winded) and it is not accurate enough in that (even though the layers are deselected) - the hidden layers are subsequently outputed too - not good!
Uses a button icon over each box.
All the current Adobe help for the SDK refers to Pro 8 and previously - which all seems to have now been replaced in Pro 9
This question will be placed in the Developer & User Forums - as it pertains to both.
Thankyou in advance for anyone that either knows any workarounds or any ways to affect a solution.

Picture of what I want to see:
What I get, and don't want to see is:
The PDF was generated using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from an AutoCAD LT (DWG) file without AutoCAD being present but making use of a plot configuration (PC3) file & pen table (CTB) file. The resultant file [WhatIWantToSee.pdf] is perfect - all the lines are the right thickness & colour and are perfect vectors (with no construction / proofing layers visible). When you view that file in Acrobat and show the "Layers" property box, you see that the correct number of layers whilst are still present are indeed turned off.
However, when I add a forms-button to one of the rectangles (please refer to initial post - where there are 6 rectangles), and display same file as icon display. The resultant view is the one shown above named [ What I get and don't want to see]. It seems the saved layer settings are all ignored?
I generated the PDF file through Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Menu | File | Create PDF | From File (Files of type Autodesk) | Options | Selected Layers | Layout | Last Active Layout.
Rectangles are regular content elements - not fields (in the general meaning of form-fields).

How do I mark up parts of a PDF page?

I write a weekly column for the local newspaper. After publication, I download a PDF of the printed page or pages.
Frequently readers or clients ask me for copies of a particular column.
My column does not occupy the entire page, though. I am looking for a way to make the column more readily available to readers.
I've tried using the Draw Rectangle tool:
which isn't a bad solution if I could increase the line width. Ideally I would somehow screen the parts of the page not relevant with the polygon tool and then fill with some semi-tranparent fill, but I've not seen how to do this.
Anybody have an idea of how to make my column stand out a bit? The workflow needs to be limited as there are nearly 300 of them, many on multiple pages.
I'm on a Mac running X.9.2 and Acrobat 10.0.0.
Thanks.

Need help fast! Need site to merge documents into one pdf

I pay a monthly fee to adobe so I can merge different files together into one pdf. I just logged in for the first time this semester, and all I see are different products adobe wants me to buy. How do I find the site to merge the documents? I have less than 3 hours till I have to submit, please help!

If you subscribed to PDF Pack, go to http://createpdf.adobe.com/
If you subscribed to Acrobat Pro, download and install it.
If you subscribed to Acrobat Plus, do either.
Otherwise you probably have the wrong subscription.

Pdf page rendered as white on white (works perfectly in windows, though)

Hi. I found an annoying bug on *all* my apple products.
One pdf page in a book I am reading is rendered as white on white on any iOS or Mac OS software.
The text is there (I can select it, highlight it, etc) but I could not find any way to display it.
The curious things are:
Last year I did not have this problem
the pdf is displayed withuot any problem on any windows machine I tried
(this is a screenshot of the page)
Any idea why this is happening, and how to solve it?

Both your Conduit Engine, particularly, and Alexa Toolbar are known troublemakers. I would advise Googling both for advice and removal instructions.
I'm not sure it is a good idea to have both Foxit and Adobe Reader.

If possible, How do I copy multiple PDF pages to a word document?

If it messed up the formatting, you will not be able to do more with Acrobat. Some third party products supposedly do pretty well, but that conversion may cost you as much as Acrobat.

SSRS: How to handle Landscape PDF page

I’m using SSRS to author PDF documents of size 8.5 * 11. I use the article
here to achieve this. But I don’t know how to handle the situation when one of the PDF page ( not the whole PDF file) is in landscape mode. Here are the steps I’m following
1>
Convert each PDF page into .png. each Size 8.5 * 11in
2>
Create report of size 8.5 * 11
3>
Drag & drop rectangle onto report body. Each rectangle of size 8.5 * 11in. represents one PDF page
4>
Set background image of rectangle to PNG created earlier.
Issue here is, if one the page in PDF is in landscape mode. When I create png for this page I have to rotate the image so that I can author it during design time. This image becomes 11 * 8.5 instead of 8.5 * 11.
If I leave the report size 8.5 * 11 then output PDF creates extra pages.
If set report size 11 * 11 then out PDF is also 11 * 11 ( which we don’t want)
Question:
Is there any way to rotate that particular rectangle (PDF page) clockwise during PDF export. Note that all other pages will be in portrait mode except the one which I want rotate.
Any help, hint will be appreciated

Thanks Katherine
Unfortunately i
cannot use that solution. I'm planning to use SSRS to author PDF document. (as described in this
article here).
So the rectangle will have background set to an image. and then there will be controls (textbox, tables etc) on the top of rectangle image. So setting the rectangle's visibility will not solve my issue.
i think solution would be to author each Landscape page as separate report. and then export them as separate PDF. and merge them using third party APIs
Unless anyone has other solution

Different page sizes in one pdf file will not scale to print correctly

Hello all,
     I have a pdf document that contains three different page sizes; 8.5"x11", 11"x17" and 34"x22". These pdf files are custom manuals and we print many of these over the course of a month.
     In the older versions of Adobe Acrobat when printing this type of file, I could click print, select the page setup size to 11"x17", then select shrink oversize pages (or fit, depending), and choose paper by pdf page size and I would get the following pages from the printer - 8.5"x11" page would print on a 8.5"x11" paper, 11"x17" on 11"x17" and (most importantly) 34"x22" on 11"x17". We do this because our printer does not have paper larger than 11"x17" yet the customer also receives a soft copy of the file and many times prints the large pages full size as needed on their large format plotters.
     With the newer versions of Acrobat, this will not work. The only way these files will print automatically is to scale the 22"x34" down to 8.5"x11".   Why would I want to scale it smaller than my largest available paper size? Also, all of the 11"x17" pages in a multi page size document will come out of the printer rotated 180° yet Adobe shows them correctly when the file is opened.
     Also, when I use the settings above, the print preview box shows the document correctly! The HP technicians have the latest drivers installed and they have shown me where it seems that Adobe is not even sending the larger sheets but instead stops the printing process with an error. So I try to send a 20 page document but Adobe stops at the first 22x34 page.
     We have now lost our old computers with every last old version of Acrobat that I could use to make this work due to mandatory hardware and OS upgrades. I must find a way to print these documents without individually selecting different pages to print and then trying to assemble the document afterward.
     How do I preserve the pages sizes in my document and print the large pages scaled down to the largest paper size I have available in my printer?
Thanks ahead of time.

Ajlan,
     Thank you for your time. I am still having the issue. I am using Adobe reader 11.0.09 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.12. Neither one have the option in the print menu that you show for a physical printer. They only offer that option for an Adobe PDF creation driver.
     It seems as though the printer you have selected in your menu is only for creating a pdf. I need to physically print the pdf. Do you have this same option when you select a physical printer?

How can I print mulitple different .ai files onto one page in Illustrator CS6?

How can I print mulitple different .ai files onto one page in Illustrator CS6? I have all of the files organized by Arrange Documents>Tile All in Grid and I would like to print the files in this format so that they can all be seen at once when printed out onto one page.
Some background is that I have 16 different cad drawings that I have converted and edited in illustrator. I'd like to basically make a contact sheet with all 16 drawings so that they can be reviewed on one sheet of paper after printing. But each drawing is in it's own unique file, and I have not figured out how to put them all onto one page for printing.

You can place them (linked) into a new Illustrator file and print from there.
The original files will need pdf compatability.

How to take parts of a web page and feed into a PDF template to create a PDF

Interesting quesiton that I think was what LiveCycle was for: How can someone take parts of a web page or xml document (say by id name or a specialized tag) and feed the chosen items into different regions inside a PDF template?
Basically, can you identify areas on a page and then tie them to place holders in a pdf template (with high res graphics say) and create a PDF?
Please note: this is not about converting a whole webpage to a pdf, but select portions of it.
Anyone have experiences in doing this? So far, it appears to require a toolset like LiveCycle or Adlib to utilize only selected items and not the whole page.

The lack of answers is likely due to folks having no clue. What you have asked is not really the purpose of either Acrobat or LiveCycle, but that is not to say it can not be done. A starting point is to bring a WEB page into Acrobat as a PDF. This can be done by printing from the browser to the Adobe PDF printer, using PDF Maker with IE or FIrefox, or simply creating directly in Acrobat. Those are the normal ways to get things from a web page to a PDF.
That said, it is not what you asked. You are asking about being able to parse parts of the web page. That is a lot more work and may not be directly possible, though with JavaScript it might be possible. I suspect that if it is possible you would require a lot of extra programming to allow the material selection. It may be the folks in the SDK sub-forum can help.
Being I have no clue how to implement what you have asked (and probably no one else either), I can only suggest some things to look at or other places to inquire. If you think the XML of LiveCycle would help, then you might try the LiveCycle forum.
In terms of your post, I really don't remember seeing the original, but that was right near the end of the semester and I was not checking the forum very much. There are various reasons folks may not reply, typically because they have no clue. Templates are also somewhat specialized and there are not many posts about them. My guess is that the template aspect may have had a lot of folks skip the post. In any case, I have tried to give you some thoughts.

How can I create one pdf from a FrameMaker Book with mixed page sizes.

Looking for an easier way to create one pdf from a FrameMaker book that has files with different pages sizes; letter and tabloid.
So far, I have not been able to find a way to set up the Adobe PDF printer or Distiller to read the page size from the source files in the book and then create one pdf with the appropriate page sizes based on the file sizes in the FrameMaker book. I can create a pdf of the book using a multi-step process where I create a pdf for each page size and then combine them into one file. This is a lot of work.
Is there a way to set the Adobe PDF printer where it reads page size from the source files and then creates one pdf with a mixed page sizes?
Using FrameMaker 7 and 10 and Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks for any suggestions
