  • Extract Non-Consecutive Pages

    I have a 1700-page document and need to extract non-consecutive pages. Can that be done? I'm using AA XI for Mac.

    Hi  cmcilwain1,
    One way to do this is to use the "combine" feature. It allows you to add specific pages from an existing PDF to a new PDF.
    You would use this feature to select the pages you want to extract by deleting the pages you don't want.
    In thumbnail view of Combine Files you can select groups of pages at a time by clicking on a starting page and then shift-clicking on an ending page to select all the pages in between. You can ctrl-click to select individual non-consecutive pages. Hitting the delete key while pages are selected will delete them from the pages to put in the new PDF.
    Here are the steps I recommend in Acrobat:
    First, select File > Create > Combine Files into a single PDF...
    Or "Combine files into a single PDF..." is also listed on the Welcome screen")
    In the Combine Files dialog:
    Click the Options button in the upper right. Ensure that "Show page numbers in thumbnail view" is checked so you can keep track of your pages.
    Click the "Add Files..." button to select your file. Or drag it from the Finder into the Combine Files dialog.
    Once the file is present, click the "+" over the file icon to expand the file into its pages.
    Using the hints above, select the pages you want. You may also re-order the pages by dragging them.
    The thumbnails will retain their original page numbers as you move and delete pages which helps to track what you are doing.
    Once you have the pages you want for your new document, click the "Combine Files" button at the bottom of the dialog.

  • Acro 8 Pro - Extract non-contiguous pages?

    A client says she has this ability in a previous version of Acrobat Pro, but not in 9:
    Is there a way to extract non-contiguous pages in one operation? For example, in the Pages panel, you can select pages 1, 3, 5, and 7. Can you extract these pages? If you right-click, Extract, it seems you are forced to choose a page range. But if you right-click, Delete, you have the option to delete your group of selected pages. It would be nice to do this with Extract.

    > A client says she has this ability in a previous version of Acrobat Pro, but not in 9
    What version?
    Workaround:
    Copy the file and delete the other pages.

  • How do you extract non consecutive pages from a pdf document. I can highlight in thumbnails but only extract consecutive.

    How do you extract non consecutive pages from a pdf document?
    I see its easy to do it with consecutive pages by highlighting thumbnails then 'extract' but this does not allow for non consecutive pages.
    Thank you

    After highlighting the pages you can drag them and drop them somewhere,
    like on the desktop, and a new file will be created with just those pages.
    If highlighting the pages is not feasible, or too tricky to do, then a
    script can be used where you specify which pages to extract and the script
    extract them to a new file.

  • How to extract non-consecutive pages

    I have Adobe Acrobat X Standard 10.0.0 Viewing thumbnails and attempting to select non-consecutive pages then extract the selected pages to a new pdf file.  when I select non-consecutive pages and select Extract it automatically high lights all pages between the first selected and last selected.  The form presented for extracting seems only to list pages between two numbers not non-consecutive.  I want only those selected i.e. page 3,8,16,24.  Can you please help me?

    Great idea!
    Does this work with the latest version of Adobe?

  • Acrobat 9 Pro: Message "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display page correctly.

    Hi everyone,
    I posted this in September: "Over the past week, I have received pdfs from 2 different graphic design contractors that do not open correctly in Acrobat 9 Pro. There is an error in the document and when I scroll to the page where the error is, I get: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person hwo created the PDF document to correct the problem." I did this, and the contractor remade the pdf 3 times, and I still couldn't open it. This contractor is already using CS5. For the problem today, I haven't asked for it to be remade yet--decided to see if I could find out if anyone else is having the same problem. The second contractor is using CS4. The only thing that I have done differently at my end over the past week is upgrade CS4 to CS5. I already had Acrobat Pro 9 so I didn't update it when I updated my CS5 products. Should I have upgraded Acrobat 9 anyway? Somehow, it doesn't feel right that this is the problem. Any info on this would be appreciated."
    I got one response from that posting, suggesting that the pdf was corrupted over email. That wasn't the problem.
    What I didn't say above is that whenever I got an error message upon opening the pdf and clicked OK, I got another message: "Insufficient data for an image." I found that one or all of the images in the pdf were missing. Upon further investigation, the contractor and I found that sometimes the error message pointed to a specific font used--that being a Helvetica Bold font. Once we substituted it with a Helvetica Neue LT Std Adobe Opentype font, we no longer had an issue.
    However, the problem rose it's ugly head today--what, 6 months later! I'm talking about 2 different pdfs this time.
    For PDF#1, I got this error message about the font: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'JNAGNS+HelveticaNeueLTStd-Bd'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."  When I click OK, I get another: "Insufficient data for an image." The images don't show up in the pdf. What I don't understand about this pdf is that this is one of those that was fixed in September. The only changes made in the document was to paragraph text--none to the text in the images. When I opened the revised pdf today, I am getting the same message again. This makes no sense.
    I returned to my September blog to see if any further advice had been posted, but nada--not even anything from Adobe about it. I goggled until I found where someone suggested running a "Report PDF syntax issues" analysis in Preflight. I did that and even though the analysis showed the pdf passed, I checked the fonts in the list and saw that the one pointed to in the error message showed that a long list of glyphs were missing on both pages of the pdf. I have asked my contractor to replace her font with a new one, in case it has gotten corrupted. Haven't a new pdf to open yet.
    Then when I opened PDF#2, I got the message: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person hwo created the PDF document to correct the problem." When I ran the "Report PDF syntax issues" analysis in Preflight, I found got this warning: "Invalid operand(s) for operator (1 match on 1 page)". I clicked through and under "Page Description Errors/Invalid operand(s) for operator", it identifies Operator Name, Stream State, Operators Read, and Traversal Path. Under "Trigger Values" is says "Invalid operand(s) for operator: is true". None of this means a thing to me so I can't figure out what the problem is.
    Let me say this: Both the contractor and I are using CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9, on Lion. If it helps, the contractor also sent one of the problem pdfs back in September to my boss who is running Acrobat Pro 9 on Windows 7 and she got the same messages.
    Does anyone out there have a suggestion for us? PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Thanks to all for posting suggestions. As it turned out, the contractor who was having a problem reinstalled Acrobat 9. She works from home and is emailing the pdfs to me. Things were running smoothly until this past week, when the problem started again. Whenever I get a pdf that won't open properly or print, I asked her to zip it and it is no longer a problem. Last week, I had the same problem start with a contractor in Florida and she also zips the pdf when there is a problem. Now I am thinking the problem might be at my end. I wonder if something is happening to them when they come through our firewall at work. I asked IT about it before but they didn't have a clue what the problem might be. Right now, zipping is the answer...who knows how long that will continue to work.

  • Extracting the first page of multiple PDFs & saving them as jpegs.

    Dear all,
    First post - hope its in the right place.
    I work in Publishing, and I have been given the following task - I have about 400 ebooks, all in pdf format, and my task is to extract the cover from every one of them (which is the first page of every pdf) and export them all as separate jpeg files (file names can remain exactly the same - ie, the name of the pdf book will be the same as the jpeg file). So I will end up with 400 ebooks and 400 jpegs of their covers.
    Anyone have any idea how to do this ?
    i have Windows and acrobat 8
    I have looked at batch processing in acrobat, but the option to extract the first page of multiple pdf files is not one of the options. there is an option to create your own script which im guessing is my best bet ? (hence why i have posted my question here)  Though I don't have the first clue about this. Have done some google searches, and some people have created similar things, but I cant seem to get them to work.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Rich

    ok, i have found a set of acrobat batch sequence and come across the following :
    Batch sequence name: Extract Pages to Folder.sequ. Task: For each file from the selected files, extract each of its pages and save the extracted pages to a particular folder.
    Example 2.10 Insert navigation icons
    /* Extract Pages to Folder */
    // A regular expression to acquire the base name of the file.
    var re = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
    var filename = this.path.replace(re,"");
    try
      for ( var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++ )
      this.extractPages
      nStart: i,
      cPath: "/C/temp/myDocs/"+filename+"_"+i+".pdf" // change this });
    catch (e)
       console.println("Batch Aborted: " + e )
    looks like i need something like this, but tried the above earlier, and couldnt get it to work (prob cause I didnt replace the words exactly correctly). I am guessing that i am entering this in the correct place though (ie - create new sequence, and got into the script editor box)

  • Extracting the first page from all pdf's in a folder and save them to a new file

    Hi,
    As Bridge apparantly is unable to create a decent-looking PDF from a bunch of other PDF's, we're looking for alternative solutions. The problem is, that I haven't done much scripting in Acrobat.
    Pseudocode:
    Select Folder where PDF files are stored
    Create list of PDF files
    Get first page from each and add it to temporary new PDF
    Save temporary new PDF in high quality
    Would that be possible in Acrobat? And where would I start? I can't even find a Scripting Guide for Acrobat (like the ones for Illustrator and InDesign).. and there seems to be no sample scripts included either :-(
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    This can be done using a combination of an Action and a script. The script in the Action will collect the paths of the files you want to process and the folder-level script will extract the first page from each file and generate a new PDF from it. You don't need a plugin for this task, so you don't really need the SDK.

  • From a multi page file is there a way to extract a single page?

    Hello,  I'm trying to extract a single page from a multi page PDF file.  Is there a way to do this with Adobe Reader?  Thanks

    Hi utah33,
    In Acrobat you can do the following to extract pages from the pdf:
    Open the PDF in Acrobat and choose Tools > Pages > Extract.
    Specify the range of pages to extract.
    In the Extract Pages dialog box, do one or more of the following before you click OK:
    To remove the extracted pages from the original document, select Delete Pages After Extracting.
    To create a single-page PDF for each extracted page, select Extract Pages As Separate Files.
    To leave the original pages in the document and create a single PDF that includes all of the extracted pages, leave both check boxes deselected.
    Regards,
    Rave

  • Having trouble in printing the scanned pages in Acrobat Pro

    I m using acrobat pro. I recently started having some trouble in printing the scanned pages in Acrobat. When i am printing a regular (non-scanned) page, it works just fine. If i m printing a scanned page, the print is completely distorted. I don't even know how to describe this condition, so I don't really know how to google it.
    If i remember correctly, I made some changes to the printing options. I can't exactly recall what was it, but it was something trivial (like printing all text to black or something)
    So i have attached the print of a scanned document. It's just the print quality that's different.
    Thanks for help.

  • BAD PARAMETER Error when Deleting Pages in Acrobat

    When I attempted to delete pages in Acrobat Standard, I received an information error stating:
    Bad Parameter
    When I try to click ok on the error message, it just keeps coming back over and over again. There is no way to get rid of the error message so I am forced to end the program using the Windows Task Manager.
    Has anyone seen this error message before and if so, is there a fix?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    This is an incredably annoying error. I had a complete manuscript ready for print, except I needed to delete one page, which of course Acrobat would not let me. I had spent a considerable amount of energy on the page numbering, bookmarks etc., so creating a completely new PDF by for example printing to PDF was out of the question.
    In the end, I ended up extracting all the pages in the document, except the one I wanted to delete. This way, I ended up with a new PDF, but all of the bookmarks, page number formatting, etc. migrated together with the extracted pages to the new document.
    Hopefully, Adobe will be able to fix this issue soon.

  • Extracting, or deleting pages to save in a seperate file

    When I go to documents menu I no longer have an option to extract or delete pages to save to a seperate file. This changed when I updated my adobe to adobe reader 8.0. I am trying to figure it out but I am having no luck at all. How do I get the menu under documents to give me the options again to delete or extract pages?
    Christy

    You cannot extract, delete or add pages with the free Reader. If you could do it before, you must have been using some version of Acrobat. And there is no Adobe product called Adobe.

  • I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router....any ideas?

    I am having trouble viewing iStore. It appears as if its a Flash issue, as several minutes after logging in to iStore I get a non-flash page of iStore in my iTunes window. I have re-installed everything and tried opening all ports in router, and used msconfig to bring up each service individually to see if there is an effect.Flash and iTunes have been re-installed  ...any ideas?

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

  • How to set value in SupplierLov on Non-Catalog page when value is via hashm

    Hi ,
    I have created a link above the supplier name Lov field .
    Click on the link opens a custom page which shows some supplier records based on business validation.Now I selected one record on custom page and clicked on select .--This forwardsImmediately back to non-catalog request page with hashmap carring supplier name.Now I want to populate the Supplier Lov field with this supplier name .
    I tried below option
    OAMessageLovInputBean mlib = (OAMessageLovInputBean) webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("SupplierOnNonCat");
    mlib.setValue(pageContext,VendorName);
    The value gets populated in the field but actually I feel its not the selected value as per behaviour of supplier Lov ..because when I immediately tab out of that field and try to select a supplier site it gives error message on the screen mentioning to first
    select the Supplier Name criteria and then only you can select the site .
    Please advise as how can I automate this process
    Regards,
    Chandu

    I tried the option a below
    RequisitionAMImpl reqAM = (RequisitionAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    NonCatalogRequestVOImpl nonCatalogRequestVO =reqAM.getNonCatalogRequestVO();
    NonCatalogRequestVORowImpl noncatRequestRow = (NonCatalogRequestVORowImpl)nonCatalogRequestVO.getCurrentRow();
    noncatRequestRow.setSupplierName(VendorName);
    Still when i click on the Supplier Site torch on Non catalog page i get the message
    Error
    You must enter a value for SupplierName as criteria for the List of Values.
    Please advise.

  • Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

    I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
    I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
    Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
    Many thanks.

    If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
    Is this a local or online PDF?
    If local, is the file really exactly the same?
    If online, in what browser?
