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?

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.

My options and tools have changed. Unable to extract and delete pages in my PDF document.

My options and tools have changed. Unable to extract and delete pages in my PDF document. How can I get them back?

Well could it be another Adobe I had before? I bought software and in that under tools on the far right had all kinds of options. Also under view and window. Then I bought another adobe product to try and convert a PDF into a word doc and now under tools that is all it wants to do and my view and window options have changed. Not to mention the new software i bought isn't converting it just spins. So I am bummed that neither is working for me. It is more important for me to be able to extract pages then it is to convert. Which adobe product allows this? Maybe I can unistall and reinstall the Adobe software I spent 300 dollars on vs the 19.99 product.

Adobe CreatePDF Basic version - deleting pages in PDF and combining PDF files

Does the Adobe CreatePDF Basic version allow for pages to be deleted in a PDF file and for PDF files to be combined? Thanks.

Deletion, no.
Combination of up to 10, I believe so.

Pages - Eliminate save prompt when closing file with no changes made

Hey everyone -
This isn't really a question thread, but rather a solution I built to eliminate one of Page's annoyances.
This problem has been encountered before, but the question isn't truly ever answered. I would reply to those (they're the top results in Google), but because they are archived I can't change them at all.
The Problem:
Even after disabling the .pages prompt, it still prompts to save files just before I close them. The exact message is: Do you want to save the changes made to the document "some_document"?
Details:
System Version: OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
Kernel Version: Darwin 13.0.0
Pages Version: 5.0.1
The Solution:
Create a workflow.
Open Automator, select New Document.
Select Service, then click Choose.
Set Service Receives to "no input" and change the "in" drop down list to "Pages.app".
Next, search for Quit Application, put it in there.
Set this to Pages.app, and ensure the box "Ask to save changes" is unchecked.
Save it. I believe there is a default location, so don't specify a path. Give it a name. Quit Automator.
Assign a keyboard shortcut to the workflow.
Open System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
Go to Services on the left hand panel.
Scroll to the bottom.
Under General, you should see the workflow you created. Mine was called "Quit Pages".
Click it, then select the Add Shortcut button.
Give it a rarely used shortcut. I chose ⌘⇧X, but you're welcome to do whatever you like.
Quit System Preferences.
At this point, it should work. Open up Pages, open a new document, then do the shortcut. It should exit without any issue. However, I did not like having to learn a new shortcut just to pull this off. So I did this:
Use BetterTouchTool to configure it properly.
Download BetterTouchTool and install it.
Open it up.
Go to the Basic Settings tab, and ensure the "Launch BetterTouchTool on startup" is checked.
Click the Gestures tab.
Select Keyboard in the horizontal bar.
On the left hand panel, near the words "App Specific", click the plus symbol. This should allow you to add an application.
Select Pages.
Click the Pages application in the left hand panel (if it is not already).
At the bottom of the main panel, click "Add new shortcut".
Keyboard shortcut: ⌘Q
Trigger other keyboard shortcut: ⌘⇧X (or whatever you used in System Preferences).
Quit the application.
Open it back up. It should now be running in your Menubar.
Now, if you open a .docx document with Pages, then hit ⌘Q, it should exit without any fuss. HOORAH!
Granted, this does have a few tradeoffs. If you go to Pages > Quit, it will still prompt you. Also if you want to close the current window (⌘W), it will still prompt you.

You get this behavior if the file which you opened is not a Pages '09 one.
If it is a Pages '08 one, it must be entirely transcoded so it's a modified document and given that, the program must ask you to save it.
If you save it as a Pages '09 document, you will no longer be asked to save (in these conditions).

I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

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.

Which Version of Adobe do I need to be able to "extract" a page from a existing file and save/download to another file?

Which Version of Adobe do I need to be able to "extract" a page from a existing file and save/download to another file?

Acrobat Pro or Standard.

When I click the Sections button then click on the 1st page I get a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"! Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it. I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back.

In Pages when I click the 'Sections' button then click on the 1st page I get a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"! Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it? I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back. It is a full page in some unknown language. The only thing I can decifer is 'cupy uf cak'. Rdal

Roger,
The icon is +Sections, not just Sections, as in "Add a Section". When you click that icon you get a section break and and a new section template, complete with preformatted text called placeholder text. The reason "Lorem ipsum" is there is so you can see what the format looks like. The reason that it is Latin gibberish is so you won't get hung up on, or distracted by, what it says. It's just a display of format. Select the "Lorem ipsum" text and start typing your content.

PDF version changes after deleting a page and "Save"

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.04. I have a PDf in version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x). I add 1 or 2 pages at the beginning and/or the end using the "Insert" - "Empty page" option. When I now choose "save", everything goes well and the version of the pdf remains the same.
However, sometimes it occurs that I have to delete pages certain pages. I select the thumbnails of the page, click right and choose "delete pages". My pdf is now still in version 1.4. I choose "file" and "Save". Now my pdf version has been automatically changed to version 1.6 (Adobe 7.x). The same thing happens when I use "File" - "Save as". I can't seem to find the setting that changes this PDF-version.
I know I can use "File" - "Save as optimized". However I always get an error (on fonts or transparancy objects) when trying to save as version 1.4.
The software that processes my PDF afterwards, requires a very strict pdf version (and settings). Therefor it's important that the pdf settings don't change.
Does anyone has a solution for this problem? Is this a settings in Acrobat Pro? Is there a work around for this problem?

Thanks for your reply.
You are right with "save as optimized" is the way to go, however I always get error messages using this function. When I save as optimized, Acrobat will first save the pdf (and thus convert it to version 1.6). After that Acrobat will start converting the pdf (flattening transparant objects, etc.) back to version 1.4. I mostly get an error on the transparant objects.
My version is in dutch but the error should be something like "an error was encountered while flattening transparent objects"
I don't really understand why these objects have to be flattened again as the pdf I started working with was already in version 1.4.

Delete pages in my .pdf file and save as another file?

Just purchase the subscription to a year worth of converting files to word/excel. However, the conversion isn't accurate and I only purchase this to enable me to delete pages in my pdf file that I don't want...

Hi,
To delete page(s) in PDF file:
1. Open your PDF file in Acrobat
2. Select "Tools" from right top corner of the document windows
3. Select " Manipulate Pages"
4. Select "Delete".
You can download Acrobat XI Pro trial version from www.adobe.com

Deleting Pages in a pdf file

Someone emails me a document as a .pdf file. I save it in my documents as a .pdf. I need to delete a page in this file and can't find where the delete page (or extract page) is in the toolbar. I am using Adobe Reader v9.0. Where do I find it? Thanks in advance

Janet,
You cannot. Editing a pdf is reserved to the Commercial Acrobat product
line.

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)

How do you delete pages temporarily ?

How do I delete pages temporarily from my website, but still save them in iWeb 2008, so I can re-use them later ?
Kay.

There are two ways:
1 - go to the Inspector/Page/Page and uncheck the "Include page in navigation menu" checkbox. This will keep the page with the site but it won't be available thru the navbar.
Click to view full size
2 - create a new site with iWeb, a holding site, and drag the page down to it.

Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
1. Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
2. Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
3. After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro. It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

1- Thank you
2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense. Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle. If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
3- This also totally sucks. In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums? Really?

Delete page problem in Acrobat X

When I first open a document I have to execute the Delete Page command twice for it to take effect. After that it works the first time in that document. But if I open another document, I have to hit the command twice the first time in that doc as well. Any advice?

Okay, here's a work-around if you have multiple Acrobat files on which you need to operate: open your first file, perform the delete command sequence (which you'll have to do twice) then minimize that file (don't close or save yet). The other Acrobat files will require the normal (single) delete operation. When you're done editing all your Acrobat files, you can save and close the first file. Seems clumsy but, until the bug is fixed, it helps.
