Flowable pages for a pdf document

Hi~
I am creating a new form...Again. After all the problems I had with my previous forms, I thought it would be better to set my page as flowable, western text before inserting objects. However, my page is not working. I looked over my notes and am not finding what I am doing wrong with this form. Any help on explaining how to begin a form that has flowable boxes would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks~
Tammie

Also, yesterday the lines around my text field and text boxes....mysteriously disappeared.
Can someone pls tell me how to get them back as I use them to line up my objects.
Thanks~

Looking for a way to re-organize pages within a PDF document....

Hello All.....
First time posting here and a new user to Acrobat X Pro so bear with me as I try too explain my issue. I receive via email, a weekly PDF report for work that contains up to 200 pages in each file. Each page is basically a "Lead" that contains, in order of importance as they relate to me; an upcoming date in time and Trustee information. When I open up this file the pages are listed in chronological order by date only and cover a time-period of about 5 days. The trustees information is randomly placed through-out the document, so pages 1, 3, 5, and 10 may be one trustee and pages 2, 4, 6, and 9 may be another trustee. Complicating matters is there are upwards of 12 trustees information spread through-out every report. So..... if the 1st 50 pages of this PDF document are for 3/6/2012, all of the trustee's information is randomly scattered through-out these 50 pages. Make sense?? Here is what I am attempting to do.....
First, I am extracting all of the pages of this report that have the SAME DATE and creating a new file. When this is done the extracted pages are then deleted out of the original file. If the original report contained information covering 4 days, at the end of this step I have 4 new files; and this is where I am getting hung up. What I was hoping to do now, is go into each file and rearrange the pages to be in order of the Trustees information. I have tried the "Advanced Search" function which will allow me to search the entire file for a trustees information, which works. I just can't figure out if there is something I can do after that. I would't even mind creating another file similiar to what I am doing above for each trustee, but unfortunately that extraction only works if the pages are in 1,2,3... chronological order. Going through and extracting each page one-at-a-time would be cumbersome and time consuming at best, so that is not an option. Does anyone have any thoughts?? And please feel free to ask me for more information. I was hoping to be able to upload a sample page of this report for you all to see, but it appears that you can't upload a PDF file... Go figure!! Thank you for your time.....

There are several ways to handle a task like this, and a custom script is certainly one of them. It looks like you are using a Mac, though, so that will limit your options somewhat. As a result, I'll stick with Acrobat's native features for a solution. I am going to assume that you have Excel, though, as it's the real key to solving this problem. Notepad can be substituted for any text editor.
My understanding is that you want to end up with a document that contains the entries for each particular Trustee, listed in chronological order. It's not clear to me what specific form your output document should take, but I'll give you enough information to solve the problem, and you can adjust from there.
First, rather than deal with the problem by date, I would do it by the Trustee's name, instead. They're already in chronological order, so no need to reinvent the wheel. Someone did that work for you! So, in the advanced search function you're already using, search for all of the Trustees at the same time with a multi-term search. You can create this in a text file that you can re-use in the future. Next, save the results to a CSV file. Open the CSV in Excel, and delete all of the extraneous content except for the "page" and "seach instance" columns, which should ultimately occupy columns A and B, starting at row 1. Next, sort the search instance column (Trustee names) either A to Z or Z to A (however you want them grouped for output), and then by page number, in asecnding order. This will leave you with a new page order from which you can extract the pages that contain your Trustee names, which will inherently be in chronological order.
Next, take the column of page numbers, copy, and paste special, transposing the data into a single row on a new worksheet in Excel. Delete the initial worksheet, then save the CSV. Finally, open the CSV file with Notepad, and you'll see that you now have a row of page numbers, separated by commas. Copy that data and paste it into the pages field of the print dialogue in Acrobat, which will allow you to print those specific pages, in that specific order, to a new PDF. If you had a page splitter script (like the kind try67 makes) or plug-in, that would be a little more efficient, but either way take you to the same place.
In the end, you'll have a subset of the pages in your original, 200 page PDF, "sorted" by Trustee, with each Trustee's data sorted chronologically. If you want to break them out by Trustee, just create a bookmark at the first page of each Trustee's data (perhaps referring back to the CSV in Excel) and split the file out by bookmark with Acrobat.
I have used similar methods to complete tasks that range from impractical to impossible in my book, "The PDF Litigation Guide." Hope that helps!

How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf document on a HP Envy 4501 Printer

My HP Envy 4501 Printer won't let me scan multiple pages into one pdf document.
I went to "Advanced Settings", clicked on "file" and made sure that the check box next to "Create a separate file for each scanner page" was unchecked.
When I clicked the Save button it showed the page that I scanned and showed 1/1. On the right side it had options for changing the brightness and Contrast, Rotate and Crop and "Back", "Save" and "Done" buttons, but nothing about scanning another page.
Not to mention HP's Customer Support is useless!
I'd appreciate any help I can get with this problem.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi BH,
I see your diagram. I just scanned something. The screen that I'm looking at right now shows the preview page and the scroll box to the left of that just like in your diagram. The screen does not show the + button nor does it show the red x button under the scroll box as in your diagram. I can't see the plus sign because it is not there.
I tried re-installing the software and drivers as you suggested but that did not have any affect.
Thank you for trying to help me with this problem but it hasn't worked, therefore I can't mark the reply "Accept as Solution".
I've noticed that on HP's support forum web page there is only 1 solved request for assistance. That doesn't give me much confidence in HP.
Please reply back to this post to let me know if there is anything else that I can try or if you know someone else at HP that can help.
If I don't here back from you, I'm returning this HP Envy 4501 Printer to get my money back to use it to buy a printer from one of HP's competitors.
Thanks,
Mark

Can I add Action button on each page of my pdf document

I have created many power point slides with an action button on each slide that allows the user to click to display a video clip.   I would like to create a pdf document of this and replace each of my action button in ppt with an action button that works in Acrobat.
I noticed that action buttons can be added to forms, but I want to be able to add an Action Button on each of my ppt slides to start playing a video clip (each slide will have a different video).
I would like to do this using any coding method (i.e. Javascript, VBA, C , etc).   I think acrobat uses Javascript.
The reason, is that I want to display my power point slides on an IPad and they don't support hyperlink in power point.   I believe IPad does suppport the full acrobat capabilities.
Can this be done ??
Any suggestions where to start ??
Thank You,
G

NO problem creating the buttons and then playing this back in Acrobat. Works great.
However, unfortunately, none of the PDF viewers for the iPad support playing movies.   So playing it there won't work :(.

About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document using internet explorer 11?

About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document stored in a folder (I'm using Windows 7)?
It only prints 1 page then my Brother MFC-J4510DW Printer says "Please put another piece of paper in the feed slot"....the problem is the print setting is set to "manual mode" in Windows 7 rather than "general setting". If you try to change the setting to "general", it will not accept the change.

Hi.
I did try using the printParams feature and it worked, but since I need to be able to print sets of non-consecutive pages, I end up having to bring up the print dialogue multiple times and have the user set watermarks each time.
I decided to just create a new pdf in a temp directory containing the selected pages and open this document in a new window. This works well and allows them to use the print button on the window to print, bringing up the print dialogue just once. However, since I need to open the document in a way that shows the print button, I am using OpenInWindowEx, with AV_DOC_VIEW, and the option PDUseBookmarks or PDUseThumbs, rather than PDUseNone. This displays a toolbar which also includes icons for creating a new pdf, deleting pages, etc. I do not really want to include these icons on the toolbar. Is there a way to remove unwanted icons from the toolbar, or make them invisible?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help.

Can I print the last page of a PDF document using command line?

Hi
I am in a situation in which I constantly have to deal with multiple PDF documents and I need to print the last page in each of these, and ONLY the last page. The total number of pages will vary for each file, so the page number for the last page will also vary.
I would really prefer to not do this manually, by opening up each file in the visible Adobe Reader window and then print.
Question:
Is there a way with Adobe Reader (maybe with the help of some other Adobe product) to print only the last page of a PDF document using some kind of command line without opening up the PDF file in the visible Adobe Reader window?
I'm using Windows.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Emil

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I tried both ways and neither works. It gives me a prompt box that I have to click "next" for every page but after going thru all pages, nothing is sent to the printer.
Also, all directions I've read indicate it will print to the default printer. If my default printer is on a network, will that cause problems....
and...
should I be getting a prompt box on every page? I thought all this would happen behind the scenes and not force me to interact with every page.

Lion Preview can't delete or insert pages to a PDF document

I have the following problem: I open a PDF file in preview. I delete some pages as I used to in snow leopard. Then I save it. The document's page count changes to the correct number in the window title bar. However, if I open the saved version after closing the current window I see that nothing is saved at all! The same thing happens when I try to insert pages to a PDF document. Looks like everything is fine, but when I close and reopen the document no changes are saved. The weird thing is file is modified, i.e. preview saves something but not my changes. It just re-saves the original document.

NUMACER's answer worked for me as well guys ! Didn't need to save a version, it just keeps it like that. I tried saving a version which saved on the same file instead of creating a new one (i know that since I saw the "Last modified" thing being updated at the same time) !
Thanks Numacer

Is it possible to give each page within one pdf document a specific set of print settings?

I have a complex document (catalogue) that requires printing. There are several different printer settings required and each one is specific to each page within the document. For instance pg 1 is single sided in colour, page 2-3 is duplexed in b&w, page 3-8 is duplexed in colour, etc.... Is it possible to give each page within the pdf document a given set of print settings and then print the entire document as a whole?

Hi jennyskop
I assume that is not feasible ...You need to give the print command again and select the respective pages and their settings !

If you open both documents, you can drag a page from the Pages panel (on the left of the window) of one document and drop it into the Pages panel of another.
You can also extract one or more pages from a document to create a new document, and then insert the pages from this new document into another. In Acrobat 11 you 'd do this by doing:
Tools > Pages > Extract
and then:
Tools > Pages > Insert from File

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 do I add and delete pages to a pdf document?

How do I add and delete pages to a pdf document?

Hi Paul,
Adobe Acrobat has the features to add/delete/extract/crop/insert pages to your PDF files and are much more features.
Adobe Reader has a very limited features for editing to PDF files.
Now you can subscribe to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html
Or you can download Acrobat XI Pro for trial version from www.adobe.com.
thank you.

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.

Can I convert a web page into a pdf document

With IE it is possible to convert a web page to a pdf document if you have full Adobe Acrobat. Can this be done with Firefox.

Hi BogdanVladusel,
You cannot convert a webpage to pdf using Adobe PDF Pack. You need to use Adobe Acrobat for the purpose.
