Extract Tag Tree from existing PDF

Hello,
We are starting a new project where a user can accessibility check their pdf. They do this by uploading the pdf file and on a new screen we are supposed to show if the tag tree of the pdf (if it has tags).
Can the tag tree from an existing pdf be extracted on the server by running some command line code in the background or by calling a method in the .NET SDK? Anyone have any ideas.
If this isn't possible does anyone know of any other software programs that I might use in order to get this information. As long as I can get the tag tree I shouldn't have any problem marking it up into HTML and rendering it to the person's browser.
Thanks,
Dustin Michaels

Are you sure you can't install it on a windows server? This links says you can.

Anyway even if you couldn't install it on a server we could always have it installed on a Windows XP machine and have the windows server contact the Windows XP machine to get the tag tree from the pdf uploaded.
Do you have any idea how you might extract the tag tree regardless of what operating system adobe acrobat is running on using some .NET code?
Thanks,

Extract a page from a PDF document

Can I extract a page from a PDF using Preview? Under Windows using Adobe Acrobat Pro you can extract a page from a PDF, so I was wondering.

Under Windows using Adobe Acrobat Pro you can extract a page from a PDF
Under Mac OS X, using Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can do the same thing.
But there are a few free utilities to do the same thing, as mentioned.
For the Print option mentioned, you can also use the Quartz filters to compress the "printed" PDF.

Remove watermark/image from existing PDF?

I need to be able to remove a watermark from existing PDFs we have stored in a database. This is a legitimate requirement (rather than trying to remove trial software watermarks) as we have > 10 million PDFs stored with a "copy" watermark that we now want to store without the watermark.
I want to write a service in .NET which can do this programmatically.
Is there any Adobe SDK to support this.? if YES..please help.!
Any samples appriciated..
satish

The first issue you will face is trying to determine HOW the watermark was
added. If it was done in a standard way by a well written tool, then it
will be easily to locate and remove. However, if not, you will have your
work cut out for you.
Either way, you will not be able to use .NET with the Acrobat SDK for this
type of low-level operation.

Which programs if any can extract the image from existing QTVR pano file?

Which programs if any can extract the image from existing QTVR panorama files that were created with one image?
Any ideas?
Thank you

Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.

How to extract inline styles from a PDF document using Acrobat 9?

I have a requirement for extracting all the contents along with the para level and character level styles from a PDF document in the form of XML. While doing so I'm getting lot of additional tags. In addition to that I'm not able to find the inline tags (character level tags) like bold, italics, superscripts etc and the page numbers. It would of great help if someone can throw light on this.
Thanks.

How to extract specific pages from a PDF

Hello. I'm using Windows XP Pro on a custom PC with Adobe Acrobat 8.0. I work for a small magazine (abqarts.com) that publishes its online version in PDF format which is created by our production dept. I need to extract specific pages from the magazien as PDFs to send to a client. Tried to look up how in the Help file but I think the termonology is defeating me.
I can load the magazine's PDF into Acrobat, but can't manage to save, print or export two pages and the cover as individual PDF files. I'd sure appreciate some help.
Thanks,
Peggy

Graffiti, thanks for your quick response! When you say "open the pages view" that's the drop-down View menu, right? Then I select Page Display but don't know which one to chose after that. Single, two-up etc.
And Control>click on a page selects an image on that page--not the entire page, which is what I want.
That said, I'm way happy you pointed out Document>Extract Pages. That works great for me, one page at a time. Maybe I don't need the other things clarified because I can use this one, but I'd like to get working all the tips you provided.
Gratefully,
Peggy

Printing to PDF from existing PDFs and other MS programs for Mac

I just purchased Adobe PDF Pack software online because it said it is required if you want the print to PDF function to work from an existing PDF, word or excel, ppt file. Now I don’t see that functionality. Am I missing something or was this software not the correct item to buy? My computer is a Mac OSX Version 10.6.8

Hi there jaquib,
With your Adobe PDF Pack subscription, you can convert files to PDF using the CreatePDF service, or convert PDF files to various formats (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and others) using the ExportPDF service.
To get started, you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com and log in with your Adobe ID and password. The files you convert are stored online in your account, but you can download them to your computer as well.
I hope that helps.
Best,
Sara

Can I extract images/items from a pdf?

I lost my hard drive! (D'oh!)
But I do have some hi-res pdf files made from the original files (InDesign).
Is it possible to extract discrete components from pdfs? Such as images, text blocks, etc?
It seems like it should be possible, but I'm wondering if one must be a PostScript coder or somesuch.
Cheers!
~Ben

Excellent! Thank you both, George and Steve.
I have CS3, so v8.3.1 or Acrobat. So that process is Advanced > Document Processing > Export all images.
Oddly, it tells me that it can't extract/export vector images. I suppose that means AS SUCH, since it managed to export JPEG versions of images that I know were .eps format. Strange, but true!
Thanks again!
Ben

Extract Pantone color from the PDF using c#.

hi i have an requirement to extact pantone color from PDF. So i had decided will go for acrobat.dll or illustrator library to get pantone and other color from the PDF.Can you please help me out how to proceed and get pantone color from PDF using c#.thanku in advance

If the PDF has Pantone colors in it, you can use output preview to see it. If you want a Pantone equivalent of a CMYK value you can do this:
In Illustrator, make a cmyk swatch of the desired color, open the Color Guide panel (Window > Color Guide), then press the Swatch Library button in the panel's lower left corner and choose color books> Pantone+solid coated. Clicking the first color in the Color Harmony section (the Base Color) at the top of the panel will add the closest PMS Spot Color equivalent to your Swatches panel.
There is often no exact 4/C match for a spot color, but this method will get you in the ballpark.

When extracting a page from a PDF, I lost nearly 1KB of data. What exactly is changing here?

I have a project in which I compile content from scanned documents. Usually I send the scans in packets of 15-50 pages at a time, and extract the pages (using Document > Extract Pages...) into a separate folder for compiling and tagging.
Sometimes, usually when starting a new document folder, I send only the title page. Usually I would simply move this single-page document into the appropriate folder, since extracting would do nothing but copy the entire file anyways.
However, one time out of habit, I extracted 'page 1 of 1' into the folder and found that one of the pages is 5.798MB while the extracted file is 5.797MB. Looking closely at the document there are light visual changes but otherwise nothing that would make me think the resolution or information has been reduced or damaged. Namely:
The original scan has a white border around it while the extracted scan does not. This border is not a pixel border or otherwise a part of the scan; zooming in or out, this border will always exist at 1px thickness.
Pixels in the original scan appear solidly square while it seems the borders are lightly blurred in the extracted. The color and size of the pixels has not changed, the literal boundary between two separate pixels is itself blurred (looking at the document at %3200 zoom).
What is this KB of data that suddenly disappears? And does this have some effect on the quality and content of the document, or is this some sort of visual issue otherwise unrelated to the extracting?
The project I have is archival in nature; while 1KB in a 5.8MB document is negligible, I would like to know where this information is disappearing to, and more importantly, whether this information loss could accumulate as documents are passed around over time.

Looking at the content box now, it just shows
[filename].pdf
     Page 1
          Annotations
          XObject: Image w:[width] h:[height]
all of which seems to contain no properties or additional data. I might be missing something here that would tell me more about the information and content of the file but right now I don't see it.
EDIT: I should also note that the width and height does not change between images despite, say, the additional white border.

Extracting Embedded Files From a PDF with Adobe.APS

I'm not sure if this needs to be here in security or if it needs to be in another forum, so if an admin feels it needs to move to a different forum, feel free to.
The situation I am in is that I get about 100-150 pdf's a day that I need to extract an embeeded file from. Right now this is a completely manual process and is very time consuming. What I have been trying to do is automate the process of extraction.
The issue I am running into is that the files are encrypted with Adobe.APS, and so my java code won't handle the security, and I can't find any other software that handles Adobe.APS.
I was wondering if Adobe had a product that could do this, or if there was an API that could handle this. I can perform the extraction on a platform of any flavor (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc...).
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciatted. Thanks.

In my case I have a drop-down list of files with preloaded filenames to attach. Here is the code that works for me on a click of button.
var selectFileName = form1.subform.DropDownList1.rawValue;
if (selectFileName != "Please Select") {
var doc = event.target;
doc.importDataObject(selectFileName);
var MyPar1 = doc.getDataObject(selectFileName);
var filename = MyPar1.path;
After you click the button it open a windows dialog box asking you to choose the file and adds the attachment to the attachment pane in runtime. To view the attachments simply view the attachment pane in runtime after you add the attachments.
Good luck,
SekharN

How Do I Extract All Pages From A Pdf File and Turn Them All Into Separate Files

Hi i have downloaded 100 reports into a single pdf, that must be extracted into 100 seperate pdfs. A prety straightforward question, that i was not able to find a straighforward answer to.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Matt

i have Adobe Acrobat Pro, Version 10, would that work?
Mind you, I want to take the 100 pages and turn them into 100 pdf files, avoiding of course going through the process of doing it one page at a time, one page at a time, one hundred times lol
