Embedding a pdf file in a page

Hi,
I just started using Muse and building my first site.
Is it pussible to embed a PDF file (in a frame style) inside a page?
Thanks,
Ziv

PDFs are technically media files which require a helper app like Acrobat Reader and plug-ins to launch the helper app inside a browser. Many people, myself included, do not have the plug-ins. Or if we do, we choose not to open PDFs in our browsers. System preferences vary from one user to the next. So embedding a PDF inside an iframe will fail to work for a large number of people.
The safest practice is to create a thumbnail image of the PDF to give visitors a visual clue about what it contains. Then provide a direct link to the PDF file. That's how adobe does it on their samples page.

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

Hi Tom,
I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
Best regards, mbd

How do I create a single PDF file with multiple pages?

Hi, I occasionally need merge several jpg images into a single pdf file with multiple pages (one Jpg per page). I have tried doing this on Preview, and by selecting all the pages I want to include in my document and trying to save to Pdf through the "Print" function, but every time it only saves the first page.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to save multple-page pdf files without having to purchase a specific program (i to this too infrequently to justify the cost)?
Thanks very much,

This works for me...
Open first image in Preview View > Sidebar. Drag the other images into Sidebar, then select all.
From File menu > print selected images. Choose PDF > Save as PDF

When I print a pdf file, the first page is dramatically reduced in size while remainder pages print correct size. How do I fix this pro blem?

recently, when printing pdf files, the first page prints out as 1/10 or 1/20th original size while rest of document prints correctly.
I have no idea how this happened or why and I have no idea how to fix. I cannot get the first page of any pdf doocument to
print correctly and thus, I am virtually unable to print pdf files.

Sometimes if a .pdf is smaller than actual 8 1/2 x 11 or bigger, you'll either get way too much of the image and it's cut off, or the image is too small. You should also try to do this in the print driver window: Properties -> Advanced -> Image Options -> Disable "PostScript pass-through"

How can I get Safari 5.1.2 to automatically open pdf files on web pages by using Adobe Reader?

Safari 5.1.2 always opens pdf files on web pages as a single frame and thus it will not print properly. How can I get Safari to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader 10.1.1?

Carolyn,
Thanks for sending your suggestion on how to solve my problem. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I trashed the file, quit and relaunched Safari, but the problem remained the same. Although it did not work, I do appreciate that you took the time to try to help me.
Thanks.

Can I embed a PDF file within a Pages document?

I am working with Pages '09 and would like to embed a rather long PDF document file into my Pages text. I want the reader to be able to click on the PDF file and have it open so that the reader can gather more information on the subject without making the actual Pages document text any longer. I don't want the PDF file to be an external link that sends the reader away from the document -- I want to know if I can embed the PDF file WITHIN the pages document and have it open only when clicked. I don't think I can do this. Thanks.

I found my answer within archived discussions - convert the file to a PDF and then embed the PDF file as an attachment. Thanks.

Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

Embedding several PDF files into one using bookmarks

Hello, everyone.
My concern is about embedding some PDF files wherein there are bookmarks for each file to navigate through their chapters, sections, etc. using any PDF Viewer.
I want to embed these PDF files into an overall document which creates bookmarks to navigate through the embedded PDF files preserving the internal bookmarks of every PDF file.
Minimal bookmarks example:
File A
File B
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file A
Section 2
Prologue
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file B
Section 2
Prologue
Overall document
File A
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file A
Section 2
Prologue
File B
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file B
Section 2
Prologue
Which I am almost sure it can be done with Adobe® Acrobat but I do not know how to do it and I still do not manage to get it by myself. I would not prefer to do it by joining PDF files without bookmarks and recreate them because I have files with more than one hundred sections and chapters, it would be really troublesome besides I have not enough time to devote on it.
Thank you in advance to everyone.

Use Acrobat's Combine files feature (available in Acrobat XI Standard and Pro).
Be well...

Why does a PDF file created in Pages, attached to e-mail, not get sent?

Why does a PDF file created in Pages, attached to e-mail, not get sent? I even blank copied myself and nothing seems to have been sent. Could it bee the size of the PDF file?

They send for me, my test document was 3.8 MB.

Can I change a PDF file to a pages file?

Can I change a PDF file to a pages file?

You can extract the text In Preview .app from a PDF file and Copy/Paste it into Pages.
Acrobat Pro can convert a .pdf into a Word .doc which you can then open in Pages, but it is quite a slow process, depending how large the .pdf is.
PDFs are not necessarily composed of text and images, they may only be images and any text they have is not actually freeflowing text. It takes a degree of programming trickery to work out what text fits where, especially if it is columns. You need to review it after to check it is what you expected.
If all you want is to see the pdf/s in Pages just drag it in, it is just an image. If it has multiple pages, then open it in Preview and copy over the thumbnails.

How to save a numbers file to a pdf file of multiple pages instead of one giant long page?

How to save a numbers file to a pdf file of multiple pages instead of one giant long page?

Hi DW,
Numbers 3.2.2
Instead of Menu > File > Export To, use Menu > File > Print...
That takes you to Print Preview.
In the Print Setup panel, Click on the Print... button lower right (it won't print yet).
That opens the Print Dialogue.
Click on the PDF Pop-Up Menu lower left.
Choose Open PDF in Preview or Save as PDF.
That will have page breaks and will be full sized.
Print from Preview.
Regards,
Ian.

Embedding PDF files into jspx pages

Hi,
I'm trying to include a PDF into JSPX. I've got a servlet that produces the PDF. I use the following code:
<f:verbatim>
<iframe src="myservlet"
width="100%"
height="100%"
scrolling="auto">
</iframe>
</f:verbatim>
However, although I can see PDF content inside JSPX page, commandButtons doesn't work any longer. They seem to be dead.
So, my question is: which is the "suitable" way to include PDF content into a JSPX page.
Thanks in advance.
Luis Serrano.

Hi,
actually this is the same experience I gathered when trying it this way. My assumption is that the PDF plugin causes the conflict. However, best integration I can imagineis to se a popup dialog and show the PDF file in there

How to put Flash video game onto inDesign PDF file and Website page or link?!

I am making a video game using Adobe Flash 2.0. I need to be able to show what I have through a website (my portfolio) and/or insert it into an interactive Indesign PDF file. The game needs to be able to be played and be used and tested by whoever I send the pdf file to, or whoever is would be view my the site I post it on. I have attempted many different ways to put my game onto my website (cargocollective) and Indesign, but nothing is working! I need help.
For example I need my game to be placed on the website page, and on the pdf document as an image. When it is clicked on I need it to start so people can play the game. I don't know how to do this and I would really love and need to know how! Thanks.

Flash should be able to publish an html page which will provide the web page code needed for embedding the swf. The page it publishes should be sufficient for planting on a server unless you plan to dress it up with other content as well.
As far as incorporating Flash content into a PDF using InDesign goes, you are best to ask questions about using InDesign in the InDesign forum. Here is a link to the Overview page whee you can pick which forum applies best to your situation:
