Drag Specific Page of PDF

Is there a way to drag a specific page of a PDF into InDesign? Currently I use the Place function to place what page of the PDF I want to put in InDesign but it would be much quicker if I could easily drag the page instead.
Thanks!

That's not possible. To place a specific page, you need to use File > Place, turn on Import Options, and select the page.

  • How to I make all the pages in a Pages document into pages, not sections, to I can drag specific pages around and place them where I need them? When I try to drag a specific page, it drags an entire section.

    How to I convert all the pages in a Pages document into simply pages, eliminating pages called "sections", so I can pick and chose specific pages to drag where I want (without dragging an entire section of pages)?

    Insert a Section Break at the foot of each page
    or:
    Toolbar > Document > Document > uncheck Document Body
    This will destroy any content in your document, but I presume that is what you want.

  • Linking to specific page in pdf document

    I'm trying to link to a specific page within a pdf document
    using the following syntax:
    https://uhaul.net/publications/publication.ashx?FileName=MB197.pdf#page=3
    However, the pdf opens to the first page, instead of to page
    3 (which is what I want). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can only do this if the attachment is a PDF file. Here are the help instructions that explain how to create a link in the main PDF document that jumps to the PDF attachment.

  • How to jump to a specific page of pdf document in preview?

    How can you jump to a specific page of a large PDF document without having to continuously scroll down on the thumbnail sidebar?
    Thanks.

    I assume you are using Preview. If the PDF was created with an indexed table of contents, then choose View > Table of Contents. This will display the ToC in the sidebar, and you can click whatever section or page you want to go to. (There is also a button in the Toolbar to display or hide the sidebar.) If the document does not have a table of contents, or if you just want to go to a known page number, then Go > Go to Page….

  • URL to Specific Page in PDF

    I have to create a web page that has links to various pages within a single PDF.
    Links to PDFs open the document at page 1 by default.
    I have read that if you create a hyperlink like this, you can link to a specific page: http://www.somewebsite.com/somePDFFile.pdf#page=38
    But...
    I have tried this, and the links are still opening the PDFs at page 1. I have tried this on two different browsers.
    Can it be done?

    Can it be done?
    Yes, like this:

  • Can you link from Word to a specific page in PDF without a webserver?

    I am trying to add a link within Word that opens a specific PDF file and goes to a particular page within the PDF.  Is there a way to do this without a webserver?

    I have a similar problem I would like to solve. I am also running Word 2003, Windows XP and Acrobat Professional 7.0.
    I can create a hyperlink in a word document to open a separate PDF file.
    I can then use PDF Maker to convert the word document to PDF.
    No problem.
    When I click on the new link in the PDF document it opens the separate file in the same window and the original PDF file is closed.
    I do not want the original file to close.
    When I set up a new link from within Acrobat then I get the option to "Open in new window". This link works the way that I want.
    As there are multiple hyperlinks in the word document, I will need to recreate new links everytime I modify the Word document. This is very time consuming
    Question - how do I get the automatically created link to open in a new window?
    Thanks in advance

  • Jumping to a specific page in PDF on Safari

    Is there a way to jump to a specific pafe when reading a PDF document in Safari?

    If you have the clip loaded in the Viewer window and the Viewer window highlighted, it will take you to that point in the clip, if you have the Timeline highlighted, it will take you to that point in the Timeline. You can also save a few keystrokes by just hitting "3.37." to skip to 3 minutes and 37 seconds, for example.

  • Open to specific page in pdf not working in IE

    IE 9
    Dear all,
    The URL page parameter isn't working for me. I have tried adding #page=3 to my url. The pdf document however opens to the first page rather than the third.
    Any suggestions?
    Regards,
    MDB

    Try clearing the browser's cache. Also, make sure that the PDF plugin used to open the file is actually Adobe Reader and not anything else.

  • Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • How do I open to a specific page or destination in a pdf file using Buddy API Xtra?

    Hello,
    I'm working with a CD ROM catalog that utilizes the Buddy API Xtra to open PDF files when a link is clicked. The client would like to be able to open to a specific page within a pdf file.
    I can open a pdf file using the Buddy API baOpenfile() function but I'm having trouble opening to a specific page when I add #page=4:
    baOpenfile("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf#page=4","normal")
    I've also tried working with the code below which seems to me like it should work... I didn't realize that the "open..." part of it was a function in Director.
    on mouseUp me
      pageNum = 4
      theApp = baShortFileName(baFindApp("pdf"))
      theDoc = baShortFileName("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf")
      theArgs = "/s /A page=" & string(pageNum)   & "&pagemode=bookmarks"
      -- (translates to "/A page=4" in this example)
      open theApp && theArgs && theDoc
    end
    Thoughts?
    Thank you in advance!

    Thank you Dee! This works perfect!
    It would be cool to know how to use bashell() for this.
    The help files give the following examples:
    Result = baShell( Operation, Filename, Args, WorkDir, State )
    ok = baShell( "open", "c:\windows\notepad.exe", "myfile.txt" , "", "normal" )
    ok = baShell( "edit", "myfile.htm" , "", "", "normal" )
    So I tried:
    on mouseUp me
      -- Close the program group
      tWindowList = baWindowList( "" , "pdf" , false )
      if tWindowList <> [] and count(tWindowList) > 0 then  baCloseWindow(tWindowList[1])
      pageNum = 4
      theApp = baFindApp("pdf")
      theDoc = _movie.path & "pdfs\Powder Cores\Magentics Powder Core Catalog.pdf"
      theArgs = "/A "&QUOTE&"page="&string(pageNum)&"=OpenActions"&QUOTE
      baShell( "open", theApp, theDoc , theArgs, "normal" )
    end
    It opens the pdf file without going to a specific page. Any thoughts as to why it wouldn't accept theArgs?
    Thanks again!

  • How do I open a PDF to a specific page via the command line?

    Several questions about opening PDFs from the Mac OS X command line:
    1) How do I use the "open" command to open a PDF to a specific page? (I know I can open a document via: open doc_name.pdf)
    2) How do I use the "open" command to pass multiple arguments (page no, zoom scale, view mode, etc...) to open a PDF file in a specific manner?
    3) Does Preview handle the same parameters as Acrobat Reader? If not, what are the differences in options?
    I've spent hours searching for this answer and have come up dry. I've downloaded Adobe's "PDF Open Parameters" document -- it lists all of the parameters I need, however I can't get any of them to work from the command line.
    My goal: Open a PDF from the command line to a specific page. At first glance, I thought this would be simple to do and find -- however, after a lot of searching I haven't found an example on how to do it.
    Anyone have any experience doing this, and care to share?
    Much appreciated! ---> Kelsey

    I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.
