Export multi page pdf to excel (searching did not answer my problem)

I searched the forum and found a few related posts but none have seemed to work for me. I do not use Acrobat much so am not all that familiar with it. I am using Acrobat Professional 8.
I have a multi page pdf that I want to export to excel. When I choose 'edit > select all' everything highlights. I then right click on the highlighted portion and ask it to 'open table in spread sheet'. It does so but only exports one page of the pdf.
I have set 'view >page display > single page continuous' but still have had no luck. If someone would help I would greatly appreciate it. Please be specific with menu commands as I may not know where to find something if you just give me the last command.

Hi,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can print a multiple pages of a single PDF file on one page.
File - Print - Under page size and handling, click on Multiple and then select pages per sheet accordingly.
You can print through Adobe PDF Printer which will save a new PDF file with multiple pages on single page.
Once you have this PDF file, then you can export it to TIFF for your application.
Let me know if this is what you were looking for.
Please see the screen shot:

Illustrator CS4 on Windows Vista 64--opening multi-page PDF

I see that Illustrator CS4 will save multi-page PDFs, so I'm wondering what I'm missing that I cannot open all the pages of a multi-page PDF at once? I'm receiving illustrations from an artist who uses a much older version of Illustrator and he sends them as a multipage PDF. It would be a huge time saver to be able to open all the pages at once to grab out the art I need, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that.
I apologize if this has been asked before. This new forum format doesn't seem to yield itself to easily seeing frequently asked questions.

But if it exports multi-page PDF, why can't it open it? I wouldn't think that would be a compatibility issue. PDF is not necessarily an AI format after all.
In my mind, I guess that defeats the purpose of a multi-page (artboard) file, if you can't open a multi-page file--even if the opening requires some kind of conversion. I'd take a multi-page import or a multi-page convert.
In a google search, I noticed that someone has written an applescript for Mac versions that will import multi-page PDFs to a multiple artboard AI file. Any chance there is a script available that will work on Windows? I upgraded my personal (Windows) copy of the suite, but chances are we'll be waiting on CS5 at work (where I have my Mac).

How to make multi-page PDFs?

A question on this in the Archives did not answer my problem. Until recently, I could easily make multipage PDFs from Pages on my iMac (10.8.4). Now suddenly it only makes a PDF of the first page of multi-page files. Cannot find anyplace to change that back. HOW do I make multi-page PDFs again?

Check this portion of your code.
if(rs.next())
response.sendRedirect("02_dashboard_welcome.jsp");
else
out.println("Wrong username or password");Once the user is authenticated(valid username and password found), he is always redirected to a particular page no matter what kind of user he is. You need to add some if-conditional and redirect him to different pages based on his role.
i have stored their login and password in different tablesI don't understand the need to create different tables for each kind of users. Rather i would do something like this.(Rough Schema)
USER_ROLE(table)
1. USER_ROLE_ID (Eg: 1:salesperson, 2:employees etc)
2. DESC (Eg: salesperson, employees)
USER TABLE
1. USER_ID
2. USER_NAME (Eg: AAA)
3. PASSWORD (Eg: BBB)
4. USER_ROLE_ID<Foreign Key, 1 if user is sales person, 2 if user is an employee etc>
Please note that you will have to create a third table to assign role to an user if an user can have more than
one role ie he can be salesperson and employees at the same time.
Now use USER_ROLE_ID to redirect the user to different pages.
Note: This is just an example(may be a worst one). please design your database and business logic as per your requirements.

How can I convert digitally signed PDF's so I can combine them into a single multi-page PDF?

We are an architectural firm and we receive drawings from consultants as PDF's that are digitally signed. In order to combine all of our drawings into a single PDF, we currently send the PDF's to a printer, have them printed, and scan them as new PDF's. This process reduces the clarity of the PDF and re-printing the scanned PDF's reduces the clarity even further. Is there a way to "flatten" or otherwise convert the digitally signed PDF's so we can combine them into a single multi-page PDF? Making a portfolio is not an option. We need an actual multi-page PDF for a variety of reasons. This problem is actually preventing our office from using digital signatures so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't. There was a discussion on this Forum a few months ago on this subject. Look it up for more info.

AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboards

I'm not exactly sure where my new problem lies. I'm trying to save out single page PDFs from an Illustrator CS4 document with multiple artboards. Each artboard should become a PDF. I can get a multi page PDF, but when it saves single page files, I get white PDFs with error messages on them (I think it is saving .ai files with a .pdf extension).
this is where I am now (simplified, of course):
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
set docName to name of current document
set itemNumber to 1
tell application "Finder" to set fileLoc to path to desktop as string
set pageCount to (count artboards in document docName)
tell current document
set allPlacedItems to placed items
repeat with h from 1 to (count of allPlacedItems)
set thisPlacedItem to item h of allPlacedItems
tell thisPlacedItem to embed
end repeat
set allTextItems to text frames
repeat with j from 1 to (count of allTextItems)
set thisTextItem to item j of allTextItems
tell thisTextItem to convert to paths
end repeat
end tell
repeat with i from 1 to pageCount
set pdfSaveOptions to {class:PDF save options, pdfXstandard:PDFX None, compatibility:Acrobat 6, preserve editability:false, generate thumbnails:false, optimization:false, acrobat layers:false, artboard range:i, view pdf:false, color downsampling:0, color resample:nodownsample, color compression:none, grayscale downsampling:0, grayscale resample:nodownsample, grayscale compression:none, monochrome downsampling:0, monochrome resample:nodownsample, monochrome compression:none, compress art:false, trim marks:false, registration marks:false, color bars:false, page info:false, page marks style:Roman, trim mark weight:trimmarkweight025, offset:6.0, bleed link:true, bleed offset:{0, 0, 0, 0}, color conversion id:none, color destination id:none, color profile id:include all profiles, trapped:false, font subset threshold:50.0}
set pdfName to docName & "TEST" & itemNumber & ".pdf"
set destFile to (fileLoc & pdfName) as string
save document 1 in file destFile as pdf with options pdfSaveOptions
set itemNumber to (itemNumber + 1)
end repeat
close current document without saving
end tell

// Save the artboards to PDF.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var original_filename = myDoc.name.toString();
// alert (myDoc.name.toString() )
// Get the folder location
var destFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select the folder to save the PDF files to:');
// Get the number of artboards to export from a dialogue
var total = myDoc.artboards.length
//     Number.selectDialogue('Total Number of Files to be made')
if (destFolder) {
     for (i=0; i<total; i++)
          var destFile = new File(destFolder+original_filename+"_"+i);          //     Assign incrementing filenames
          var pdfSaveOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
          pdfSaveOptions.viewAfterSaving = false;          //     Don't want to see these fles in Reader
          pdfSaveOptions.SaveMultipleArtboards = true;
          var range = new String();
          range = (i+1).toString();
          pdfSaveOptions.artboardRange= range;     //     not Assign incrementing page range
          myDoc.saveAs (destFile, pdfSaveOptions);
I've run this script on the 3 art board document the Adobe sample scripts create. It's a just different coloured star on each artboard.
This script appears to work in as far as I get 3 files with just one artboard showing when I open the files in Adobe Reader. Problem is when I open them in AI, I can see all the artwork is still there and even more stranger is the fact that the numbers are still 1,2,3 whereas in Reader it's just page i showing as page 1 each time.
This could be a problem when the application I'm writing generates an image structure from the files if it sticks the excess data onto the GPU (not sure if it will or not). If it includes all the data, also it just makes the Application footprint bigger by a 8 MB or so of unnecessary baggage. An issue for a 'light weight' app.
I noticed the export ExportArtboardsPhotoshop.jsx script has this line:
psdExportOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
It works in that context but in PDF context it only works in terms of what Reader shows not what exists in the files. Good one Adobe… Makes me wonder what the Multiple art boards method did before AI had multiple art boards. How was AI dividing the objects?!
Also I really need a SaveAsCopy (non-existent I think) method or I'll have to keep reopening the original file and then doing SaveAs.
Back to manual duplicating files in finder, batch renaming, opening them all and deleting excess. Or export to PSD and get my dimensions right or just oversized (I can always down sample in the app)…
This is truly a painful exercise!

Read and Export "Target Area" of multi-page PDF

Hey there,
I have a multi-page PDF (400+ pages) and what I want to do is perform an OCR on a specific target area on each page, then export the results to a CSV or text file. For example, each of my pages is a report, and I want to take out one piece of data from each page, plunk it into a CSV, then bring that data into Excel to do a sum...

Acrobat's OCR will attempt to recognize all character images on a PDF page containing a scanned image. It has no "zone" control.
Once the PDF has an OCR output you can save it to a text file.

Using Windows Search for multiple, multi-page PDFs

I am scanning documents into a Windows folder (documents have been OCR'ed). An employee verifies that each document has a specific number that OCR picked up, if OCR did not, the user will use the 'Add or edit text box' under tools in Adobe Acrobat Professional XI to add the correct number. Multiple scans are handled this way and merged together to create documents that may be up to 2300 pages long (so far). Within that same Windows folder, there are other files with similarly handled information and numerous pages.
My problem is, if I am looking for a specific number that is within one of the PDF files within the Windows folder - I can find it if I open the file that contains the number and do a search. However, even though we are using a Windows index to be able to search from the Windows Search, the Windows Search will not always be able to find one of the indexed numbers. Does anyone know if there is a maximum size or number of pages a PDF can be for the Windows Search to be able to be used? Perhaps this is a question I should ask of Windows. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong with the PDFs or if the Windex index isn't working. Thoughts?

Something that may help -
With a multi-page PDF open in Acrobat Pro; select Document > Extract Pages
In the Extract Pages dialog you can select "Extract Pages As Separate Files".
This will provide you with a PDF file for each page of the source PDF file.
Additional options are also possible.
In a thread at AUC, Thom Parker identifies these.

Slow Illustrator Multi-Page PDF Export + Alternative Solutions

Hello everyone,
I have a recurring job that requires 50-60+ small illustrations be placed into a few different layouts. The workflow I have set up right now is as follows: All of the illustrations are drawn in one Illustrator file with multiple page tiles. This file is exported as a multi-page PDF and placed in InDesign layouts. One main problem with this system is that it takes a long time to export 60+ page tiles from Illustrator.
I'm totally open to any alternative workflow solutions or recommendations someone might suggest, but there are a few reasons why I've chosen the multi-page PDF approach. The Illustrations share global swatches and symbols and graphic styles and sometimes these items need to be tweaked. Editing everything in one file is faster than opening, changing, and saving 50-60 individual Illustrator files. My client often needs me to make alterations to the illustrations, and sometimes these Illustrations appear on more than one page and in different layouts. Using the one multi-page PDF helps everything stay nice and consistent across every layout and every page.
If anyone has any suggestions for how to speed up the Illustration export or alternative workflow recommendations, I'd love to discuss them.
Thanks!

As Scott said, the multiple artboards in CS4 are the most efficient way to do that and upgrading sure will help to streamline your workflow. Your problem is that each element needs to be stripped, possibly flattened and other data removed when creating the PDF and that can take its toll. The only other way to do it IMO would be some script that takes each layer of your doc and converts it to an individual AI file or PDF. It may just not have any advantage at all - scripts can be slow if a lot is goingon and it still would take time to save and convert the files.

Multi-page pdf not linking properly

I have a 6-page interactive indd template that I have been using for months without any issues (well, not these at least), but recently it has been not linking multi page pdfs properly. The pdf that I use is always saved from illustrator cs6 and correlates page to page with the indesign file; page 1 in the pdf links with page 1 in the indd and so on... The issue I am having is that almost every other time I link the file up it behaves differently. Sometimes it will link one page of the pdf to all of the pages of the indd while showing that they are linked to different pages, other times it will not show up at all on the pages, but will show that it is linked in the links panel. Sometimes it will only link one of the pages up and leave the other 5 blank or it will link the pages up with some sort of transparency...
Now, I am not sure if this is a problem with Illustrator or Indesign because of another symptom: Sometimes when I save the file as a pdf it saves as if it is not a multi-page pdf with different content on every page, but rather a multi-page pdf with every page being a zoomed-out view of all of the artboards together but with only some of the content showing (only artboard 3 and 4, only artboard 6 and half of 1) when it is opened in acrobat. Also, sometimes the pdf when viewed in acrobat looks perfect, but when linked it only does a few of the pages in indesign.
Long story short, this doesn't make any sense... I know this is hard to follow and I don't understand why or how it is happening because it seems that every time has a different issue.
I know that you'll probably have questions and I’ll do my best to answer them, but I'm afraid that uploading files for samples won't work because there appears to be nothing wrong with the files themselves... just the links and/or export.
Win7, CS6 , 12 gigs RAM, i5

I have been using this method successfully for quite some time with these exact files, only in the last few days has this problem shown up.
When I originally made the template in indesign, I imported the pdf, showed import options, and linked the pages to the same page number in the pdf. 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc. My original thought was that this setting had been lost, so deleted the linked pdf and imported it again to try to get the 1 to 1 link. However, that did not change anything and I noticed that the page that shows up by itself in the pdf is almost always page 2, not page 1. If the page-to-page connection had been lost, all of the pages in indesign would be linking to page 1 as is the default behavior for linked pdfs.
Also, I thought that the save issue would be on the illustrator side too, so I tried resaving it but that didn't work either. The only way that I can get the file to work is if I remake it completely and save over the old file.
Now, I know that you're most likely thinking that this is an illustrator issue, but I don't think that it is one or the other, but rather both of them. The screenshots that I attached above are not the only way this error manifests itself. Sometimes the pdf looks right in acrobat, but once it is linked it displays with a transparency, shows only a few of the pages, or shows none at all.
I'm probably going in circles here, but I cannot figure out which program is the cause of the error or if there are two different issues that are happening at the same time.

Getting Page Count for a Multi-Page PDF file using Illustrator script?

Does anyone know how to get the page count of a multi page PDF file? I know you can then open each page using the PDFFileOptions (pagetoopen). But I need to know up front how many pages there are to loop thru to open each page and process each page.
Any Ideas?

This script i did for photoshop:
OK so lets do it working on WIN and MAC without any shell script.
This solution is not the best but its working.
I used Try catch to solve it.
Only issue is that you should at least somehow know how many pages you expect in pdf.. this mean if you are working with books or flyers...
Then set the maxPagesCount to that number.
I am working with pdfs with max 20pages.. so i start open the 20 then 19 then 18 and when i am success i know the amount of pages.
Its not the quicker way but its usable.
var maxPagesCount = 20;
var actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
var opts1 = new PDFOpenOptions();
opts1.usePageNumber = true;
opts1.antiAlias = true;
opts1.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
opts1.resolution = 10; //it will load faster the test page
opts1.suppressWarnings = true;
opts1.cropPage = CropToType.MEDIABOX;
myFunction = function () {
try {
      app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
      var fileList = openDialog();
      for (i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
        actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
        getPagesCount(fileList[i],maxPagesCount);
        alert(actPagesCount);
} catch (exception) {
    alert(exception);
getPagesCount = function (checkFile, lastPageID) {
try {
    for (var checkPage = lastPageID; checkPage > 0; checkPage--) {
      opts1.page = checkPage;
      var docRef = open(checkFile, opts1, false);
      docRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
      actPagesCount = lastPageID;
      return;
      checkPage=0;
} catch (exception) {
    // Look for next page
    checkPage--;
    getPagesCount(checkFile,checkPage);

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.

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, aren't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, isn't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?

Figured it out. It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat. Here's the fix:
Open Finder/Applications
Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
Quit Safari
Launch Safari
Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.

How do I import multi-page PDFs into an indesign document?

Note: When I search for answers to this question on the adobe site, i encounter a broken link.
I need to insert several multi-page PDFs such that they become one document that I am able to appy consistent control over. Should I be doing this in indesign? What is the best way to do this?

If you don't want to use them in InDesign for any other purpose than to assamble them in one new PDF I would rather use Adobe Acrobat Pro than InDesign.
In Acrobat Pro: Create new Deocument > Form multiple Files, select further what you need.

Mail will NOT display a multi-page pdf file in the body.

I want to send an email with a multi-page PDF attached that is displayed in the email- so that readers don't even have to click on the pdf to open it. Can I do that? I can do a single page, and I did determine that if I save all the pages of the document as single pds and then attach those, that works, but is there a way to display a multi-page pdf? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I do not use pages - there are several possible solutions to your situation - in pages you should be able to do a send pdf to iPhoto and then in iPhoto you can create an e-mail with smaller (and harder to read) images- you may be able to produce smaller (lower quality) PDFs in pages (don't know), you can change e-mail servers - use a different one it you have multiple accounts or get a free gmail account or other new account that will handle your needs

How do i save a multi page spreadsheet as a multi page pdf

how do i save a multi page numbers 3.5 spreadsheet as a multi page pdf? has this feature been removed?

I don't use Numbers - so I don't know if it had that option. Here is a kluge, if you print a Numbers sheet to PDF using print from the File menu, then open that PDF file in Preview, then choose the Thumbnail View options you can drag any desired page(s) from that Numbers converted to PDF file to your desktop or folder. Those files will have a (dragged) #.pdf name in them.
Edit: I misunderstood you to say how do you print multiple page PDF Numbers as Multiple page PDF.
To Jerold's reply below, you have to make sure you select all pages. I think it defaults to current page. You can also export via Numbers to PDF.
