Extracting Pages and naming file names of pdfs

I need to be able to extract pages from a large file to create seperate pdf documents for each page. When I do this the file name for each page is for instance "Medical Records 1.pdf"; "Medical Records 2.pdf".... Medical Records 11.pdf"
Here is the problem. When I go to review them in order the page (document) that is numbered 2 will not be after "1" but rather just before "20" and "3" is out of order and just before "30". When the number of pages is 600 plus this is a problem. This would not happen if there was a leading "0" before the "2" , "3", "30" etc. This happens with single digits and double digits as well since the page numbers are in the hundreds.
Any ideas on how to correct this issue? Thanks in advance.

This sounds like an issue with the sort order display in Windows Explorer. If you use the File > Open dialog in Acrobat the files should display correctly.
If you're previewing the PDFs in Windows Explorer try clicking the Name button underneath the toolbar to change the sort order from ascending to descending, then a single click again should display them correctly.

  • Extracting Pages and Error Message

    My Adobe works great. I couldn't ask for a better product. However I have received a PDF file from a customer and I need to extract pages and insert them into another PDF. When I go to extract the pages I get an error message "Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and them the program shuts down. It is only with this one document and I can't find much information as to why this is happening.  Any ideas?
    Thank You!

  • Extract Pages- and the Split- not doing what I expect them to

    I have a document created in Illustrator (CS4) which has multiple artboards. I want it split into multiple documents, one art board—> one document with only that artwork. When I use the Extract PAges… and the Split… comands to generate multiple documents, I get the multiple docs (same number of docs created as pages in original doc).
    Only thing is every doc has all the artboards and all the artwork as the original doc. I could understand all the artwork being there but all the artboards also?? What's going on?
    Appreciate any pointers on this.
    Trying to write a JSX to run in AI but struggling so far. Thread for AI solution started here: AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboards

    I don't expect mind reading but I'l settle for careful reading
    I tried to explain how pages and artboards are qualitatively different objects only to be told they are the same thing and that's all I needed to say.
    I tried to explain that opening the very same file in Illustrator showed a lot more objects than it did in Acrobat. You probably don't remember because you breezed over something that you didn't think you needed to know because you were, at each stage, a step ahead of me (slow down already!).
    From my second post:
    I can't remember if Splitting gave enumerate files or the one file but either way ALL the artwork was in the enumerate files if they got made [.…] I ended up saving as CS3 .ai files which gives a Save artboards to seperate files option and, unlike the artboard range option on Save As PDF, it actually works.
    From my third post
    An artboard is not a page as far as Acrobat and Illustrator apps are concerned. I was trying to highlight the distinctly different way the two apps handle them. I can watch a one page with just one shape document in Acrobat become a 20 artboard, 40+ objects layout in Illustrator. Same document interpreted as one Page in Acrobat and 23 artboards in AI.
    I was on this forum because even a manual Document Menu> Split… command is not doing what I expected with the AI generated 23pp PDF file. I expected the 23 individual 'artboards' and content to each make a separate file.

    I don't remember you mentioning that you re-imported the PDF files into Illustrator.  This is an important detail. You also posted to an Acrobat scripting forum and never said you were not interested in an Acrobat Script.  You also never explained the problem you were seeing.  You were never clear.
    Covered that but note Illustrator doesn't import PDF files. .ai .eps and .pdf are all native files for Illustrator and just open, sometimes with an additional dialogue to choose a page from multiple pages. It imports .dwg, .svg and that sort of thing relying on translator plugins. This is the fourth time I'm saying I should have posted in Acrobat Win or Mac not scripting, apologies I was scripting when I made OP and probably frustrated. You were more clear it's true, clearly ignoring what I was getting at in each post re artboard cf. page objects.
    You see, in a PDF file each page has it's own content stream, i.e., a stream of vector graphics operators.  Graphics can be drawn anywhere in the coordinate space, but the page view is clipped by a crop rectangle.  So graphics can exist in the stream, but never be visible to the user because they are outside the crop.  I get the impression that in Illustrator the Artboards all exist in a single coordinate space? And that the conversion to PDF places this entire coordinate space into a single content stream. Then each page would be a different crop of the same content stream.  If this is the case then I believe there are PDF optimization operations in Acrobat that would fix your problem by removing all content outside the crop. 
    Yeah I've hacked lots of PDF files in AI. They use more than one clipping rect per page from memory. Correct, the artboards are defined in a single co-ord space it would seem — artboards are discretely and independently located on the document canvas and can even overlap each other. Yes those operations might work, I never though of that, I came across an Illustrator based solution early on in this thread. There's no conversion going on in Acrobat though I think, the file stays native PDF from AI to Acrobat and back to AI. As I've noted it's the way Acrobat displays or parses the data that in effect hides all the 'off-page' objects but open the same file in AI and it's all still there. 
    You know, we can't read minds, you actually have to explain what it is you need.
    I didn't know it, but I needed to get a confirmation on the artboardRange property bug in Illustrator CS4 and/or a confirmation that artboards are not treated as page objects, and I ended up having to lecture you on something you may have no interest in, sorry if I've been a pain. This is part of bigger bug elsewhere that I've been trying to get resolved or around on and off for a month. Every turn another bug, it gets confusing and frustrating at times

  • Pages 5: Insert File Name

    How do I insert the File Name? How do I update an old File Name that was previously inserted?
    It's common practice to insert the document name in the footer of document, so people reading the document know what version the file was printed from. This was easily handled in the past version of Pages by going to the "Insert" menu and selecting "File Name". If you later modified a document, you could righ click on the inserted document name and the contextual menu would offer you the option to "Update File Name".
    Pages 5 seems to be missing this functionality. The software help instructions offer zero mention of Insert File Name.
    Has this been removed? If so, that's crazytown. If not, I'd sure appreciate being explained how to use this important feature.
    Thank you!

    Tell Apple and Apple's users by rating/reviewing Pages 5 in the App Store.
    Apple tries to clear out the bad reviews but with every new version they keep sinking lower and lower.
    In the Australian M.A.S. it is getting almost 3/4 saying they don't like it, with almost 3/5ths saying they hate it. Worse than the previous v5.0.
    I assume there were some who just quickly looked at it and didn't know what Apple had done. A few bad files and intractable problems later, and they are starting to wake up.
    The problem with the reviews is that mostly people do it on first impressions and they can't go back and correct their review in the light of experience, until the next version comes out.

  • I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

    can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

    Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
    Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems?  If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
    If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
    Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

    Acrobat 9 - we are unable to merge word and excel files into

    To be expected if you are working in a contemporary OS and contemporary MS Office suite.
    The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into End of Support mid-year of 2013.
    The product isn't compatible with contemporary OSs or Office suite.
    You may have to step up into the Acrobat XI product family.

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

  • Dynamic bad and Log file names!!

    Hi

    Hi
    I have the scenario like the data files would be passed as parameter to the mapping , and the mapping would have the premapping procedure which would change the file name in the external table definition. This works fine. But the one more issue I have is that, I would like to change the bad file,log file and discard file name also through this procedure. In other words, for each incoming data file I would like to create a bad ,log and disc file.So How do I accomplish in the present procedure which does the following alter table statement
    execute immediate 'alter table '||p_table_name||' location('''
    ||p_file_name||''')';
    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks
