Extract pages - doesnt't maintain links

Acrobat 8 professional; from FrameMaker 7.2 structured.
Acrobat's help states:
Extraction is the process of reusing selected pages of one PDF in a different PDF. Extracted pages contain not only the content but also all form fields, comments, and links associated with the original page content.
However, in two tests from different PDFs (ours and another company's), after extracting pages, the links don't work. Has anyone else experienced this? Are we doing something wrong?
thanks,
Teresa

My experience is that extracting pages does maintain the links.
Unfortunately, it does not retain the named destinations, and
FrameMaker's links are unusual in that they rely on named destinations
to work. You therefore have a link, but it goes nowhere unless the
named destination is recreated.

How can I extract pages and maintain links.

I have a catalog index several pages long and all links to various pages in rest of catalog.
I want to extract those pages with the links to the pages intact and insert into a modified version of same catalog. Page numbers remain exactly the same.
When I extract the pages the link appears to be there(hand changes to finger pointer), but the action has been removed. When you click you go nowhere.
How can I extract these pages and re-insert with links intact?

Hi lenm,
To extract pages, you need to use Acrobat (not Adobe Reader). As I can attest (because I do have both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same computer), it is quite easy to open files in Reader when you mean to open then in Acrobat. So, please make sure you have the right app open. (I pull this one all the time!)
Now, if the Tools menu is missing from Acrobat, choose View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Show Toolbars to make them reappear.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How Can I extract pages from a PDF document into a separate document by clicking a link?

Hi,
I have created a large PDF document with several pages, I have a link symbol on the contents page of the document that relates to several services on different pages within the document. Currently they are identified by having the same link symbol on every page that relates to that particular service. I was wondering if there was any way in which I can create a interactive pdf, when I click the initial symbol link on the contents, it collates all the relevant linked service pages into a single document or guides the viewer to all the pages without having to create a separate pdf document for each service?
Many thanks
Yunus

Simple answer - no. PDF files cannot reassemble themselves into new documents, nor can you hide pages.

ADF in Jdev 10.1.3.2 - Wrong Page Opens When "Open Link in New Window" Used

We are former Oracle Forms/Reports developers and Struts developers in the early stages of a new project using ADF in JDeveloper 10.1.3.2. We are all new to this development environment (though not new to Java), so apologies in advance if this is trivial.
Our early work is based on samples extracted from Oracle's ADF Tutorial for Forms/4GL developers and is pretty simple at this stage. We have done little more than create a page layout and implemented skeletons of each page. As long as we click a link with the left mouse button, we can navigate from page to page as expected, no problem.
The strangeness starts when we right click a link, and select Open in New Window. For example:
(Note, all of this is taking place in our development environment: Jdeveloper running on our personal PCs / laptops, we have not even tried to deploy to an application server yet):
1. Open page 1.
2. Error 1: Right click button or tab to page 2, select Open in New Window. Page 1, not page 2, will open in the new window.
3. Close the new window so that the original page 1 is displayed.
4. Left click a link to navigate to page 2. Page 2 is display as expected.
5. On page 2, left click link back to page 1 (NOT the browser Back button). Page 1 is displayed as expected.
6. Error 2: Right click a link to page 3, select Open in New Window. Page 2, not page 3 will open in the new window.
7. Close the window containing Page 2. Left-click the link for page 3 and it will open as expected.
8. On page 3, left click a link back to page 1 (NOT the browser Back button). Page 1 is displayed as expected.
9. Now right-click the same link to page 3 as in step 6 and select open in new window and page 3 will display as expected.
The logs mention "Reusing a cached session application module instance" and I think this is where our trouble is. I considered turning this caching off (if possible) to see if it clears up the problem, but (a) I don't see where to do that and (b) it seems like we would want to use any caching features once we go to production.
I suspect we have some minor configuration error somewhere as it seems unlikely that ADF applications would all come with a "No opening in new windows allowed" warning. Or, maybe we are just missing the boat on why this shouldn't work. Either way, any useful guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

We dont get number datatype if you have SQL92 selected as SQL Flavour. So i dont think this would help. SQL TYPE Map is JAVA basically in my project. Do you want me to import some of oracle.jbo.domains specifically or something else you want me to do

Script to extract pages with comments

I know that what I would like to do is probably quite simple. I'm trying to automatically take a source document, and extract all pages with comments to a new document. Ideally, I would have multiple versions of this script for different purposes. I used to be a business analyst years ago, but it's been years since I've written any code, and even back then I used SQL almost exclusively--it's been about 12 years since I've written any code other than SQL queries, and back then it was highschool projects written in C++ before OOP was really a big thing. I'd attempt to read documentation myself and figure it out, but I really don't even know where to start -- my CS knowledge at this point is pretty much only conceptual. Whenever I have a similar VBscript problem using MS software, usually all I do is find an existing function and modify one or two lines to meet my needs, so I've never really had to learn how the scripts I've used work. I just tinker with existing stuff to get what I need. My past coding experience does give me an idea is to the general algorithm that I think would work. To show that I really tried with this one, I paste my guess as to how I would code this below:
1)     Create For loop for source doc.
2)     Create FOR loop for new doc
3)     Analyze page in source doc
4)     IF source page has any comments or highlighting THEN somehow note that page and increment "new doc" counter
5)     Increment source doc counter
6)     Repeat 3-5 until all pages in source doc have been analyzed
7)     Create new file
8)     Extract pages noted during step 4 to new file.
If someone could help me create the above script, I would probably be smart enough to get it to meet my needs. What I'd really like are two versions of that script. If asking for the community to simply provide me with code is not a cool thing to do, could someone link me to a good tutorial and/or existing scripts so I could try and figure it out myself?
1)     One that extracts only pages with text comments (using the typewriter tool).
2)     One that extracts pages with highlights or text comments.

In the second to last line of my OP I meant "using the 'Add text comment' tool" not "using the typewriter tool".

How do I extract pages from an accessible document and keep the tags?

I have a 300 page document that contains tags. I need to extract 5 pages with complex <Table> structures and maintain the tags. I also want to Import the same pages into another document while maintaining the Tags.
My efforts this far gives the 5 extracted pages and there are Tags but they no longer seem connected to the pages.
Am I asking too much?

Thank you very much for the assistance. I ended up deleting all of the pages and Tags but those that I wanted to "export". Saving that as a file and combining it successfully.
I did indeed follow the instructions for Extracting, but as with many things in Acrobat, it has its issues.
Here is what I think happened that ensured failure before. First I assumed that if I export the pages the Tags "belonging" to those pages would export as well without difficulty. For each page I created a new Section and named it for the page number. So with the auto-tagging completed I created Section for each page and moved the Tags under the proper Sections. However I had not completed the process for the entire document when I needed to do the Export. I apparently left Tags belonging to later pages in the document (they were buried in Sections of Sections).
When I originally exported, I had the pages I wanted and a lot of Tags relating to pages at the beginning of the document as well as Tags for pages near the end of the document. Clearly the Tags (in the Tag View) for the pages not exported were dead. But so were the Tags for the pages that were exported.
I expect that not having the Tags in proper order made Acrobat lose its mind during the export process.

@moseymums – two answers here:

2.a Duplicate all selected pages in the Pages Panel to a different open InDesign file (the target) with the "Move Pages…" command.
2.b Remove all unwanted pages from the target InDesign file.

But take care on text threads accross several pages. If you delete a page with a text frame linked to a thread accross several pages, the text will change to the beginning of the thread on every first page.
So it might be good to run a script which will unlink threadened text frames before.
If you have often to do this task, there are several plugins which will help you to perform this. E.g. Output factory from http://zevrix.com/

Unable to extract page numbers using FIRST_BOOK_PAGE

Hi
We have to extract page numbers in views.
For this we have
Added FIRST_BOOK_PAGE in key template.
Linked key template to study views
Enabled CRF page tracking
Data entry using DCI book
But we are still not able to extract this variable. View generation fails with following error.
ORA-00904: "RDCM"."FIRST_BOOK_PAGE": invalid identifier
Is there any other step that we have to follow to extract this variable.
Note: FIRST_BOOK_PAGE column is being populated in Received_DCIs table.
Please give you inputs.
Thanks
Navi

I was quicky able to replicate your problem by just doing what I would normally do to add a column to a key template. I am not aware of any other steps.
The default extract macro for FIRST_BOOK_PAGE provides the alias "RDCM". This alias appears in the error message as well. This is an apparent error as this column is not available in rxc.received_dcms. It has to be added either as a custom macro or as a hard code revision to the rdcms_view referenced by each of the defined views for a study. And if it is added "under the sheets", the alias would need to be RDCI or at least something other than RDCM since this is already in use for all of the other stuff coming from received_dcms.
This is the explanation for the error message, ie. even though you've added it to the key template, it is an invalid reference because it is looking at the wrong table.

How to insert into 2 tables from the same page (with one button link)

Hi,
I have the following 2 tables....
Employees
emp_id number not null
name varchar2(30) not null
email varchar2(50)
hire_date date
dept_id number
PK = emp_id
FK = dept_id
Notes
note_id number not null
added_on date not null
added_by varchar2(30) not null
note varchar2(4000)
emp_id number not null
PK = note_id
FK = emp_id
I want to do an insert into both tables via the application and also via the same page (with one button link). I have made a form to add an employee with an add button - adding an employee is no problem.
Now, on the same page, I have added a html text area in another region, where the user can write a note. But how do I get the note to insert into the Notes table when the user clicks the add button?
In other words, when the user clicks 'add', the employee information should be inserted into the Employees table and the note should be inserted into the Notes table.
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks.

I have a question about extracting pages. When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf". Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files. It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name. Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

How do I extract pages from a PDF?

I am trying to extract pages from a pdf document through Adobe XI and the command is not there through page thumbnails or through tools. What can I do? We have the current version which I verified through checking for updates.
[Please choose only a short description for the thread title.]
Message was edited by: Jim Simon

"Adobe XI" does not exist.
There is Acrobat XI (Standard or Pro).
There is Adobe Reader XI.
Acrobat XI Pro (and maybe Standard) can extract pages from a PDF.
Adobe Reader XI cannot extract pages from a PDF.
Once either application is open it is easy to determine which you have open.
The "name" is in the top most "ribbon" of the application window.
From what you've written it appears that you are using Adobe Reader XI.
Be well...
