Extract pages in same PDF version as original document

That's it!
It is annoying to extract pages from a PDF 1.3 doc. and have the resulting files be in PDF 1.6.
It is also somewhat strange that the format is not even the native 1.7 format from Acrobat 8.1.1, which I'm using...
The most useful implementation would be to have a choice of output format with the original doc. format set as default.
I would also like a keyboard shorcut for the Extract feature, as requested in other posts...

Optimal application behaviour is subjective based on the user's needs.
My request stems from needing to split PDF documents into single-page documents without altering the format.
Adding a preference setting for the default behaviour would allow all users to have it their way: options to preserve format or save as specific format.
In addition, the save dialogue should contain an option to select the desired format, with the default being set from the preference setting.

  • 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.]

    "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.

  • How can I extract pages from a PDF? The Tools menu is missing.

    I used to be able to extract pages from my PDF file. I don't see the tools icon anymore. How can I access the tools icon?

    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

  • Extract Pages Action for PDFs

    Has anyone used the Extract Odd/Even Pages action for PDFs? I'm trying to use it to extract pages from a PDF and save as separate files. When I use it the action spins for a moment, says it succeeded, but I don't get any new files.

    I know of the java script method, just wondering why it can't be found as standard wizard tool ;-)
    I have a java script to extract pages.
    Is it possible to somehow create a droplet for it (as is possible with preflight profiles)?

  • Merging pages in same PDF

    hi all,
    I'd like to know if it's possible to merge the 2 pages in same PDF as a single page. Cause when I crop the pages with Tools->Crop, I got some weird look of the page even if I crop small portion of it, it still remains as single individual page. There should be a way to overcome that hurdle with merging/joining the two remnant parts of page to comprise the one final page.
    any help ?

    Actually this is the one of the solutions, the glitch here is,  cropped pages are disordered (e.g. if you crop some portion of page just cropped part is visible at the very same location, where it's supposed to be alligned to bottom, top left right etcc..) so the final page is something like that ,
    1st page : %80 blank, text is at the bottom
    2nd page: center aligned text and the rest of the page is blank
    3rd page : text is close to the top part of page
    So when I combine these pages into one page as you mentioned I'll get shuffled texts on one page with multiple pages per sheet, but  my main problem was to create a single page from multi pages and align the texts properly.
    thanks in advance.

  • Split or extract pages from a PDF form?

    Once I convert my PDF into a form in LiveCycle Designer I am unable to then extract or split pages from the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Does anyone know if this is possible?
    Thanks for your help!

    LiveCycle PDFs aren't really PDFs so there are a lot of things in Acrobat you can't do with them.

  • Another "extract pages" and "split" PDF question

    I have subscribed adobe's convert to pdf and I was happy with convert function until I found out that I can't upload nor convert 59 MB of a file. Tried several methods, non of them worked. I decided to split the pdf or extract pages that I want it to be converted but guess what? There is no such function. Even if there is, it is very well hidden.
    Can someone please explain me how the heck do I extract pages or split the document in parts? Non of the online free splitters work on my file.

    Maybe you should invest in Acrobat...

  • Download PDF Version of Sales Document.

    Hi Guru's
    I want to open up an discussion regarding ability to Downlaod PDF version of Documents in Sap.
    we are using RFC interface to create Sales Document and that user is defined as "Communication " User in Sap.
    So as per Sap in order to Download we need a connection to presentation server and since these are the background users so download will not work with this type of user and also scheduling a Job will also not work (Sap Note 7925)
    Now my question is
    Is it possible to submit Program to Sap Dialog work process(please note NOT BACKGROUND) to use some other user to run it.
    LIke SUBMIT ZPREP1
          USER ABC
    but the user who is submitting is XYZ
    I had tried but it is using the current user who is submitting the Job. Am i missing something?
    Please give your valuable suggestions
    Regards
    Lakhbir

    Bottom line is background processes are not run in the presentation server. They are always executed in the application server and so you can access directories only there. Having said that, a round about way to achieve it could be to initially download it to the application server and then ftp it to the desktop of the user. I am assuming that since you are doing an rfc, you are doing it from a remote application which happens to know the desktop. So that remote application has to make a call to the rfc which creates the file in the application server. Depending on the success of this call, the remote application will then logon to the application server and ftp the file to the desktop. This ftp step is outside of the SAP world.
    Another solution is to have you network gurus mount the windows network onto the unix network. I have seen this done in a couple of places. What they do(I don't know how) is they will have the same directory be visible as a directory in the application server as well as the desktop's network location. This they call mounting. This way your SAP world will treat it as an application server directory so you can run it in the background and then your users access the same file as if it is in the windows network.

  • When I extract pages from a PDF and go to "Save As", Acrobat completely crashes and disappears. Why?

    I work for a remote desktop hosting company, and am having an issue with Adobe Acrobat that we have installed on one of our customer's terminal servers.
    The OS running on the customer's TS is Windows 2008 R2 Standard. The customer is running Windows 8.1 on their local PC.
    Basically, the customer will open up a PDF within Adobe Acrobat, extract a couple of pages, and go to "Save As" within the new window. At this point, the software will crash and close immediately.
    Going through the same process on another Windows 8.1 PC, logged on as the same user onto the TS, the problem does not happen.
    It seems that this problem only happens on the customer's PC. We have tried logging on as other users on to the TS from this PC and get the same crashing and closing problem.
    Is there an obvious answer to this that I seem to be missing?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Hi
    It shows just 4 always as an option in the "open with" lsit. Also I haven't downloaded any apps for a while so why would it start now?
    Do you know how I can estabilsh how many apps are counting toward this 10 and what they are?

  • 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.

  • How to use command line with acrobat to extract page(s) from pdf file?

    I have adobe acrobat, and have a pdf file with over 500 pages. I need to extract small chunks of pages from it as seperate pdf files. I was hoping I could use command line interface to do this faster.
    Something like:
    acrobat src des start end
    so for example
    adobe file.pdf my_folder 3 5
    Is this possible? There are many chunks and I don't want to manually do it for every chunk. Command line would be much easier...
    Thanks

    I can't find any programs... sorry.
    Can you create one for me please.
    It should at least have these 5 arguments: (well the first one is not neccessary since were not using acrobat anymore...)
    [program] [src path/src file] [destination path/file name] [start page (inclusive)] [end page (inclusive)]
    for example:
    acrobat ./my_file.pdf ./my_folder/chunk1.pdf 3 5
    if start page == end page, then it only extracts that one page.
    So this way I can just stack these comands on a .bat file or something (maybe like 100 commands), then run the bat file, and it will create all the files.
    Thanks for doing this, it is appreciated.
