I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

Pat:
Below is a copy of an 8/7/2013 email from adobe. I prepaid a one-year subscription, and, until I recently upgraded to Windows 8, I was able to make several dozens of merged pdf documents. I seem to be no longer able to use the merge feature that I had successfully and repeated used. When I search for the merge feature I end up with a request that I pay for an upgrade monthly subscription to use the merge feature.

How to Merge two PDF documents orginally created in different programs?

I am trying to find information on how you can merge a PDF document created in LiveCycle and a PDF created in PageMaker or Microsoft Word?
I know that you can easily merge two PDF documents created in the same program, but I am specifically looking for how you can merge two PDF documents created from two different programs. A step by step process would be helpful, if you have that information. Thanks.

You use Assembler for this purpose.
1) Assembler can be accessed through LC Java API. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/programLC/help/index.html
API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Assembler Service API Quick Starts
2) Last week I posted on generating and merging PDF's from PostScript. Take a look at the assembly service instance in the .lca. Assembler uses DDX (Document Description XML) to describe document construction. NOTE the .lca was developed with ES 3 (aka ADEP). The .lca It contains the most basic DDX.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<PDF result="out.pdf">
<PDF source="inDoc1"/>
<PDF source="inDoc2"/>
</PDF>

Merging of PDF document per Java API

Hi there,
I have to merge a lot of PDF documents to a single one.
I've found a solution using the AssemblerServiceClient with a ddx file.
Is there another possibility? The ddx-solution is not very handy for that quite simple task.
Any ideas?
Greetings,
Joerg

Hi All,
The issue I am facing is this: 1200+ PDF forms that employees will need to sign. The docs are being created in MS Word, and all have a b standard signature block.
We have prototyped using LiveCycle Designer 8 to add fields to static PDF files (print Word files into Acrobat, import into LiveCycle and paste in fields) but this is pretty labor-intensive to use with a minimum of 1200 forms per quarter.
(The employee forms go into a CF8/Oracle library app stored as BLOBs and served up for 7,000 or so employees to sign. The forms use HTTP post to send field data to the CF8 server. Posted data goes into database.)
b Is there a practical technique to combine static PDF files and PDF b forms that retains the fields (and prepopulated data)?
Does the Transform PDF service mentioned above retain the prepopulated data? Or any interactivity? When I have tried the ColdFusion tools for merging PDFs that use DDX, the result is a flattened PDF with no fields and no data.
I am acutely aware that LiveCycle 8 uses the XFA schema, and regular PDF documents use a different schema.
If anyone has experience merging PDFs and PDF forms, or has any helpful thoughts, I would be appreciatively gross. Needless to say, this is a typical compressed timeframe.
Thanks!

VDP / Data Merge - Multiple PDF's (1 record / 1 pdf)

Hello all,
2 part questions (second one I think is more file system related)
Part 1 - I have created a document in indesign and am using data merge. The merge works well but the PDF that is created a single pdf file with all my merged pages within it. I am wondering if there is a way to have mutliple pdf files created. If my data has 10 rows of information is there a way to run the merge and get 10 single page pdf files?
**nevermind pt 2...google search just turned up some good hits.**
Part 2 - If I can get the merge to be single pdfs is there a way to name the file based on a column of my data file? I am assuming that indesign cannot do this. I am a pc user and have not found a batch rename software based on variable data content.
Thanks in advance
Ren

ok so to better understand why I did it this way I will explain the situation. I work for a copier reseller and we carry many models. My goal is to re-brand our sample files and include as a footer the following information (filename / machine printed on / paper stock printed on). This method initally seemed like the right approach using variable data but I have changed my thoght since then and decided to used the combo box interactive filed which would eliminate the need for 50+ pdfs per sample.
My steps tho prior to changing my mind was as follows.
Variable Data Merge:
create my indesign doc and setup the data merge.
my data file had field for filename (which was part static and part dynamic), machine model and paper stocks.
exported the pdf (which is a single PDF with multiple pages)
Splitting the PDF to single page PDFs:
Open the multiple page PDF in Acrobat X and use the extract feature tools>pages
Select your location and the newly created single page PDF will created files using the following naming convention (original filename 1.pdf, original filename 2. pdf, etc....)
Renaming the PDF's
Since indesign uses row order from the data file to create the pages the multiple page PDF also has the same order as my data file. When I split the pages using the extract function the number scheme used my acrobat kept the files in order also (page 1 was file1, page 2 was file 2, etc....)
Using my inital data file (with my filenames that I have merged onto the indesign file) I created another spreadsheet copying the filenames onto a column (column B).
Column A consist of the filenames that the extract tool created (note that the file xtension needs to be listed also for both column A & B, in this case .pdf)
In Excel go to VBA (alt+F11). Goto insert>module.
paste this code:
Sub ChangeNames()
Const FILEPATH = "C:\Users\rsukhr01\Desktop\test" 'amend to location containing files
Dim r As Range, cell As Range
'identify range containing file names - assumes you hve a header in row 1 and then filenames below it
Set r = ActiveSheet.Range("A2:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
'loop thru the files and change their names:
For Each cell In r
Name FILEPATH & "\" & cell.Value As FILEPATH & "\" & cell.Offset(, 1).Value
Next cell
End Sub
Close VBA, goto view>macros and run the "change.name" macro.
This will rename the original file names (column A) to your new file names (column B). Also make sure this excel file is is the same folder as your files that you want to rename.
hope this helps...
also I will find out the source for the VBA macro and update to give that person credit.

Data merge to pdf - unusual result

No matter what I do, I can't get InDesign to merge the content of my piece AND the data correctly.
My project is simple. I'm making a postcard that is exactly half the size of a sheet of letter paper. There's a .25" margin.
I created the text box that is exactly the correct size that shows where the address fields should be...
When I do a document merge, the resulting .indd file is correct. However, when I attempt the same data merge by selecting "export to pdf", the resulting file is way way off.
See attached files. The pdf doesn't even have two address fields, let alone a mirror of the content.

Always use the camera icon to attach an image. This is something that needs to be fixed. I was attaching files via the attach link and FAIK, they never load. Stay queued forever.
When you merge the data you should have a new ID doc. So if your original doc was mydoc.indd, the merged doc should be something like mydoc-1.indd. Export this to PDF. Should work.

Data merge to pdf

I'm not sure if this is possible but my goal is to do a mail merge from a script and have them save out as PDF files on the fly.
My template has all the data fields linked and i can merge to a new document with no problems, but I want them to merge/export to a PDF rather than the new doc.
Any thoughts?

IN CS4, you can export the data merged template directly to PDF, without creating an intermediate data merge template file. This page should provide the information you need - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6c3ca.html#W S579839EE-E3E2-479b-8A9F-3C65FB296C81 .

Printing current time and date on a pdf document

I wish for a pdf document to print the current time and date in the same place at the foot of each page, to the following format:
Aug 04 2009, 5:11 pm.
How do I do this please? Annoyingly I have managed it in the past, but when I open up my old documents and paste the relevant field into my new document, it either prints the old date/time or else prints the present date/time, but then doesn't refresh the next time I try to print - ie it stays at one date/time.
I'd like to start again from scratch so that I have a better idea of how it works!!
Regards
Tony

Eureka!
I now have the answer, and hopefully this will help anybody else with a similar problem.
In Acrobat:
Create a text field and place it in the chosen place on the pdf form. Label it "datebox" in the General tab of Text Field Properties, and apply your character styles in the Appearance tab.
Under the "Advanced" menu, go to "Document Processing" and then "Set Document Actions"
Click on "Document Will Print" and then hit the "Edit" button. In the "JavaScript Editor" paste the following:
var myfield=getField("datebox");
var date=new Date();
date=util.printd("mmm dd yyyy, h:MM tt", date);
myfield.value=date;
Hit OK.
You have now given the instruction that whenever you print, the field named "datebox" will print the current time and date in the following format:
Aug 05 2009, 9.37 am
Regards
Tony

How to read the data from a PDF document into SAP

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to read a PDF document from my desktop and get the data into SAP but i am not getting successful.
I am using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload and passing the filename and type and importing the file length and the data into an internal table.
I tried the file type as ASC but i couldn't get any records in the internal table and the filelength is displayed as 0.
When i tried the file type as BIN, it is giving the short dump. I guess that is because the file i am trying to read is not with the extension BIN.
Please Advice me on this

Merging existing pdf documents in Windows 8

I have just purchased a new HP computer c/w Windows 8, 64 bit. Have loaded my Office 2007 suite and love that I can create PDF files. My question is that I don't know how to merge (add pages to existing pdf documents) my pdf files. Can this be done with Windows 8. Also, I have an old disc with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional/Education. Could I load this and use it with Windows 8? I'm looking for a simple way to merge my existing pdf documents, nothing fancy. Thank you!

Acrobat 7 is long obsolete, and not for Windows 8. The current version is 11 (Acrobat XI). No reduced price upgrade is available, but buying Acrobat XI is what you probably need.

Data Merge then Split Documents

Hey everyone,
I'm using InDesign and Data Merge to create business cards for our printer, but we of course have the recepients proof them first.
I was wondering if there was a way where after the Data Merge, I could separate every 2 pages into their own PDF (front and back of card).
Even more awesome would be if the PDF filename could be "<<FirstName>><<LastName>>-BC-proof.pdf"
Thanks!

in Acrobat X, there is a feature under the pages panel called split pages which lets users split a PDF into various sizes, whether it be based on amount of pages or file size.
As for titling the PDFs appropriately, the above method won't do that, BUT i'm sure i've read about this somewhere before on this very forum. Do a search of this forum for Data Merge Split or something similar... if I find it I'll post it here.

Can i use data merge with pdf images in indesign?

Hi need to do a data merge but with pdf's not jpg or tifs. I am having the result with jpgs but not with pdf's.
Can i do it with pdf's?

in fact that is not a problem because i have both pdfs same size and orientated, the only thing is that i cannot use the pdf docs for some reason.
eg. in the csv file i have (this is not working)
Field 1                                      Field2
'@background                          '@page
Machintosh HD:bg1.pdf           Machintosh HD:page1.pdf
eg. in the csv file i have (this works)
Field 1                                      Field2
'@background                          '@page
Machintosh HD:bg1.psd           Machintosh HD:page1.psd
I would like to use the pdf file is there a different way to do so?

InDesign CS5 Data Merge to PDF Problem

Hello,
Need to make 2500 tickets, data merging a csv file causes indesign to fleeze up. When I try export to PDF, it creates the pages but does not merge the date, instead it just leaving the data field. What do I need to do to get the numbers to appear on the tickets when exporting to pdf?
Kinda in a time crunch!!
Thank you!!
Mac Pro
2.66 Quad
8GB ram
Mac OSX 10.5.8
InDesign CS5 7.0

Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply.
There are no comma's in the csv it is just numbers 0001-2500. The numbers are all that need merging.
When I go to preview, everything is perfect and all the numbers show up where they are needed, however, when merge and export the correct number of pages are generated but the numbers are replaced with the data field (<<nbr>>) instead.
Thank you for your time.

Cannot merge several PDF-documents

Hello dear adobe,
I've had a rough time trying to figure this out. The scenario is the following:
I'm the IT-guy within a huge company. Today I recieved a computer and a annoyed user complaining about our adobe acrobat standard 9. It seems like most of the people in the building can't merge several pdf's to one. These "selected few" do have the same version of acrobat as everyone else.
The errormessage given is:
"No PDF file was created because acrobat encountered an unidentified error."
I have tried to move the files to be both on the network, and local. I've tried to move it to a location with a short pathway (\\server\share\adobefileX). I've tried to rename them to shorter names without spaces or any special letters.
I have even tried to reinstall acrobat, without any results.
Could this be due to a setting at each individual computer? Or could it be security policies/settings preventing acrobat to work fully?
Do you know anything that can cause this on a corperate network? I'm willing to test most things, since this problem concerns alot of people.
Thanks!
/Simon

Hello eorilly5,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are unable to print from anything from your printer.
I would recommend these troublehsooting steps from the article named Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147.
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
All the very best,
Sterling
