Export Multi-Page Document as Individual PDF's, Exporting Layers

I'm not sure if there is a way to do this (I've scoured through the Export dialogues and I'm not sure if what I am looking for is counter-intuitively labelled or just doesn't exist). What I would like to do is take a multi-page document and export it so that each page is it's own PDF - from a single Export. I know that there are ways to split PDF's in Acrobat, but we are trying to streamline our workflow so I'd prefer if this can just be done in one step at the time of PDF creation.
The other issue I am running into, when I export a PDF with layers, the elements on the layers are rearrangting themselves. For example: I have a 45 page document, with 3 layers (Dieline, Background, Artwork). When I export the PDF, all of the layers are in the proper order, but only Page 1 has the creative elements on the proper layers (Pages 2-45 take all artwork and move it up to the top-most layer).

You’ll need a script. What version of InDesign? Is it fully patched? How are you viewing the PDF?

Exporting a Pages document into a PDF format

When I export my pages document towards a PFD format, the arrows to my pictures are changing, change color or move. Anybody know why and how to solve this? I tried a the export qualitiy levels and this did not make a difference. The first one is the PDF version and the second one Pages version

How did you create the arrows?
Line with arrow head in Inspector > Graphic?
What color did you apply to the arrows that change color?
Have you applied a shadow to the arrows?

Export multiple page indd as individual pdfs.

I've been racking my brain on this.
I have a very long indd that needs to be sent as hirez pdfs to the printer (don't ask me why, I don't know). Each page needs to be it's own pdf. I know I can export each page individually, or export it as one .pdf and extract each page manually, but is there a way/script out there to export each page individually as a pdf automatically?
Thanks!

Hi,
take a look at the good old ExportEachPageAsPDF.js of the tutorial 'Working with Documents' in http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/Einzel-PDFs_exportieren_P193960.html#193960

I am trying to export a Pages document to a pdf, and a tiny black rectangle with a small white circle keeps showing up. I can't seem to delete it in my pages document. help!

I am using Pages, 5.2.2., on a MacBook Air, system 10.9.5., and I have a formatting question. I am making a small brochure, and it seems like in some places for reasons unknown, when I have a return, there's a small black-filled rectangle, about the size of one letter, with a small white circle inside of it appearing. I want to get rid of that little symbol. I keep trying to press delete, but then I lose my return/spacing. (Can you tell I'm a brute beginner?) Help! And thanks!

It sounds like you are using a Chinese font.
Use something else eg Times or Helvetica or any European font.
If the character disappears, its the font.

PDF Multi Pages Document

Hello, I'd like to know if with Bridge I can compose PDF multi pages documents assembling pages of different sizes... I was able to do that with Photoshop older versions... but I cant' manage the situation with Bridge because in Output window I can set the page dimension but the program automatically sets all the pages at the same size... Is there any way out???
Thanks.

This got moved to Bridge, see the Output module.

Printing multi-page documents

I have a 25-page .psd document that I want to print in CS6 in one hit, but I only seem able to print it by opening each page individually and processing it separately. What can this be done?

Photoshop for whatever reason does not print multi-page documents as you would see in PDFs. Acrobat does not accept psd files for conversion into PDFs,
So I nicked the following from here: How do I create multi-page PDFs from PSDs on Photoshop CS5? - Quora
Its not a one step process but kind of a workaround really -
STEP1 Export all your files as JPEG or PNG.
If there are lot of files you can do it in one go using File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack then create a new PSD with all the files you want exported. Then go File > Scripts > Export Layers to Files and export it as one of the above image formats
STEP 2 As mac user - Go to the folder where all the above files are exported and Cmd Open it all together in "Preview" application, then click Print, but instead of printing save as PDF. There is an option to save as PDF in the popup you get before printing. So JOB DONE
As a PC user - I am not 100% if they have inbuilt utility of saving as PDF while printing but I remember I used a third party software (which was free) I think it was called bullzip PDF print or something like that. And then you can do the same in Windows as well like mac. You can either load all your JPEG or PNG files in windows image viewer or I think Word should definitely work. Like you will need to copy all your images in there and then "Save as PDF"

Save each page of a multi-page document as a separate file using spawned file names with javascript

Hello
We are currently changing our hard-copy personnel files and converting them to pdf files. We have scanned the entire file into one multi-page document.
I am wanting to save each page (or groups of pages) as separate files.
In order to facilitate this, I have duplicated field names--such as FirstName, LastName, EmpNo on each page. This information should be static for the entire file.
However--I also need information that will change for each individual "page" or document--such as TypeOfDoc, Date, etc. I have used the Spawn fields using the overlay method on each of the pages in the document. Then I went in and filled in the information for each page of the document--such as TypeOfDoc, DateOfDoc.
Now I want to save each page of the document as a separate file using the field names as the file name.
I first created an action that would split all the pages into separate files and save them into a folder.
Then I want to save each file as a specific file name based on the information in the fields.
My problem is obtaining the name of the spawned field name. The rest of the field names I am not having a problem with.
This is what I have so far to name the file.
// Get the field value
var oPage = this.pageNum;
var fn = getField("P" + oPage + ".TEMPLATE.DateOfDoc").valueAsString + getField("FirstName").valueAsString + "-" + getField("LastName").valueAsString;
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/n/Personnel/ScannedDocuments/NAMEDPAAS/";
// Determine the full path
var fp = fldr + fn +".pdf";
// Save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
This code is also accompanied with folder level scripts.
My problem is obtaining the name of the spawned fields using javascript. Each document has several pages--so I would like to obtain the field name through script.
I receive the following error.
TypeError: getField("P" + oPage + ".TEMPLATE.DATE") is null
I think this is due to the fact that I have extracted all the pages as individual files.
If I were to do the above, but not extract the pages first--I do not know how to just save one page at a time.
Please help. This is a massive project, and if we have to save each file individually, it will take a lot of time.
I am a beginner, so any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you

I am not understanding exactly where to put the curly brackets. I have tried two different ways, and still get the same error.
This is one way
var oPage = this.pageNum;
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/n/Personnel/ScannedDocuments/NAMEDPAAS/";
// Determine the full path
var fp = fldr + fn +".pdf";
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++)
var fn = getField("P" + oPage + ".template.DateOfDoc").valueAsString + getField("FirstName").valueAsString + "-" + getField("LastName").valueAsString;
{this.extractPages({
nStart: i,
cPath : fldr + fn + ".pdf"
The other is this
var oPage = this.pageNum;
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/n/Personnel/ScannedDocuments/NAMEDPAAS/";
// Determine the full path
var fp = fldr + fn +".pdf";
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++)
var fn = getField("P" + oPage + ".template.DateOfDoc").valueAsString + getField("FirstName").valueAsString + "-" + getField("LastName").valueAsString;
this.extractPages({
nStart: i,
cPath : fldr + fn + ".pdf"
Thank you for your help.

How to create a scrollable ( multi page) document using Acrobat 5.0 for Windows

How do I create a multi page document that can be scrolled through? I want to place one drawing, which I have in pdf format, on each page of the document then send it via email so the recipient can open it and scroll through the pages to see all the drawings.

Thank you so much for the prompt and succinct reply. I tried what you suggested and it worked very well. I am new to Acrobat and it is nice to know there are knowledgeable professionals that can grasp the essence of the problem and lead the way to the solution. Thanks!
Best Regards,

How do I convert mail merge documents to individual pdf docs and save each with a field in the merge?

How do I convert mail merge documents to individual pdf docs and save each with a field in the merge?

Is this an actual field, or just some piece of static text somewhere? Either way, you can't do it using the Split Document command. You'll need to use a custom-made script to read the value of this "field" and use it when extracting pages from the file.

A multi-page document physical size bigger.

I have a multi-page document (662 pages to be exact). In Word it is formatted into a 4x6 (inch) format. The physical dimensions of the book at 6 x 9. So of course I have a lot of extra space on the page that I want to get rid ot. I don't want to increase the size of the font because it will change the formatting, pagination, etc. My brilliant idea is that I convert this to a pdf and then resize the pdf. It will have the effect of stretching the print, making it easier to see and fit on the page, but it won't increase the font size, which will change all the formatting. Is there any way to do this for the entire document? I don't want to do it page by page for all 662 pages.

Certainly not with Adobe Reader, but possibly with Acrobat. It would be best if you asked in the Acrobat forum.

I exported a pages document to word, but was not able to edit the new word document.

i exported a pages document to word, but was not able to edit the new word document.

I have a OSX IMAC Version 10.8.5. I got pages at the same time I purchased this computer. I use a document to write all my passwords. Seems like when I E-mail myself the document from pages, I have not been able to type in the document, it acts like it is locked. I checked all the "lock" and "unlock" fields, and none of them were locked. I notice the document says PDF. How do I correct this? Seems like I've tried everything. If you can help, that would be great!

Multi-page document with multi Master-pages

Using InDesign CS6 (Mac):
I'm to start a 50-page document that's single-pages (not spreads) for 3-hole-punch book. I'm using 2 Master pages, which are alternating between the front and back of each sheet. So page 1 is master A, page 2 is B, 3-A, 4-B, etc.
So that I don't have to manually add alternate pages to the Pages window — is there an elegant way I could tell InDesign at the "New Document" level to create those 50 alternating pages?
Thanks!

Thanks, Jdanek, but after posting my question here I realized a better place to post it is in the InDesign forum, and I already got the answer there, which is to create a facing-page document with one master page, that has a larger margin at the binding side. The pages will be read as spreads, even if this a 3-hole-punch book. I then will save it as a single-page PDF for production.
You can see the thread at Re: Create multi-page document with multi Master-pages

When trying to export a pages document, it say error while printing....

When trying to export a pages document, it says 'error while printing' when I want to save as PDF. I used to be able to do it but for some random reason it won't let me anymore. Even when the printer is not plugged in or turned on it says it. Is there a setting I can change? Does anyone know how to fix as i can't email any documents and I don't know what else to do. Please help its driving me crazy.....

thank you, I can't print or save any old pages documents. I will create a new one and see if that helps. I have tried from the print dialog but it says the same thing. I will try something in another application. Could it have been when I updated pages? I only recently got broadband so did a heap of updates that were a bit overdue.

How do I rotate a single page in a multi-page document?

I recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X version 10.0.0. Where is the option to rotate a single page in a multi-page document?
Also, I often receive faxes as PDF's that are upside down. How do I rotate a page so that it remains rotated the next time that I open it?
Thanks.

It works (it saves the rotation) when I use the rotation method under the tools menu. Thanks.
Yes.
Tools > Pages > Rotate permanently rotates the pages (if you save the file afterward of course) and View>Rotate view only changes the view for the current session.
