Group of documents from .jpg to .pdf?

I need some help. I scanned 91 pages of documents and saved them in a folder on my desktop. The pages were scanned into my computer as .jpg and i need to send them as .pdf in an email. the file sizes are abnormally big too; each "picture" is about 1.7 MB! I tried to use Preview to open the .jpg and "save as" a .pdf but when i did that, it ended up turning it into a .pdf but with taking up the same amount of space. I tried to compress them but with no avail. i would have to send like 20 emails even with compressing them in groups of 5. There must be an easier way to send all of them at once, compressed, and in .pdf format. Please, can anyone help?

Now that you mention it, I just checked the jpg and pdf I used for a test and the pdf is slightly larger.
Even the compressed pdf I made is larger than the jpg.
If the jpg is actually text, then unless you OCR it, it won't compress much since it is really all graphics, including the text. In the pdf format, the text is not real pdf text which is why it won't compress.
Even zipping it does not make it smaller.
I would say that the files are about as dense as they can get. The only way to make them smaller would be to convert them to a lower res graphic.

  • Exporting document from Pages to PDF repeats the same picture throughout the document

    I am creating a 4-page newsletter in Pages, and the final page has a series of jpeg photos (six of them) dragged from iPhoto onto the document. The photos are then given a Picture Frame and a shadow. I then save the document and choose FILE - EXPORT, choose PDF with an image quality of "Good". On the resulting PDF file, the first of the six jpeg images repeat in the locations where the other 5 should be. So I get a page with the same picture repeated 5 times.
    Any suggestions?
    I have tried changing the image quality to "better" and it exhibits the problem there as well. Note that it works fine if I choose File-Print and then save a PDF, but that results in a 65mb or larger file, and I need it to be as small as possible to email.
    Pages '09 (v4.1)

    Do the images have the same name? if so change the names before adding them to your Pages document.

  • When I convert a document from wordperfect to PDF it only converts the 1st page and ignores the othe

    When I convert my wordperfect document to PDF it only converts the 1st page and does not even show the other pages.  This is a new development because in the past it has converted all pages. 

    Hi KP122,
    Is it document specific or occurs with all the documents.
    What is the extension of the word perfect documents?
    You can convert the following File types to PDF
    Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX)
    Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX)
    Microsoft Excel (XLS, XLSX)
    Microsoft Publisher (PUB)
    text (TXT)
    Rich Text Format (RTF)
    Adobe PostScript® (PS)
    Adobe InDesign (INDD)
    image (bitmap, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG)
    OpenOffice and StarOffice presentation, spreadsheet, graphic, and document files (ODT, ODP, ODS, ODG, ODF, SXW, SXI, SXC, SXD, STW).
    To convert a file type not listed above, use Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer.

  • Printing document with table to PDF - file disappears

    When I print a document to PDF from either AppleWorks or MS Word, it is saved to the location as PDF and works as would be expected. If the file contains a table, the PDF file initially appears where saved but disappears when I attempt to access it.
    The document was initially created in AppleWorks. The MS Word document was translated from AppleWorks.
    The PDF file quite literally disappears from the screen. All routine Mac software maintenance is on schedule and all Apple updates for my OS completed to date.

    The solution is logical, if annoying.
    My Print to PDF problem has been solved. I complained about not being able to save documents containing tables created on AppleWorks as PDF, but the tables were not the problem. The problem was a font within a table. I discovered this when I could also not print the document to a printer. Despite saving as PDF being a print routine, I cannot get out of Save As mode. The document did print to PDF on my mother’s iBook because another font was substituted in the table.
    There are several fonts on my PowerBook that will not print, even on a postscript printer that has them on board. That is a separate and largely ignored problem. One of those is the Bookman family. Too bad. I like that family and use it frequently with older operating systems, but OS X refuses to print anything containing that font. I have never taken the time to troubleshoot the problem.
    I had already performed the searches suggested to no avail. The point of all this is that font problems that prevent printing a document to a printer will also prevent a document from printing to PDF. The icon initially appearing then going away seems odd to me but probably not to a MacGeek.
    Thank you, Mask, for giving thought to this issue. Now, maybe I should invest in a font troubleshooting application.

  • Display only 1 record using uploaded PDF document from 3rdparty Website

    Hi,
    Any help will be very much appreciated....
    I'm trying to create my first BI publisher report using a PDF document from 3rd party website. I want to populate the name from EMP table to one of the fields in the PDF doc.
    Here's the steps I've done:
    1. Created and saved a data set using only the ENAME column of EMP table. 14 records are available from the table.
    2. Run xml output and then save as sample data.
    3. Downloaded the PDF doc from the 3rd party website (government form - US Custom Form 7512).
    4. Using Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, I mapped the element name (ENAME) from my input XML file to the Name field.
    <output type="data-structure" >
    <dataStructure tagName="DATA_DS">
    <group name="G_2" source="Employee" label="G_2" >
    <element name="ENAME" value="ENAME" dataType="xsd:string" label="ENAME" breakOrder="None" fieldOrder="1"/>
    </group>
    </dataStructure>
    </output>
    5. Uploaded the revised PDF document to BI publisher.
    6. Created and saved the report.
    7. When I viewed the report in PDF, only 1 page is displayed. I'm expecting to see 14 pages because I have 14 records from the table EMP.
    Any report properties that I need to change to allow me to view all the records from the EMP table?
    Version of BI and Adobe
    Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0
    Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4

    There could be an issue with the Loop. I guess your Template is looking at the first record only and not reading through all the records.
    Try to get the BI Publisher Desktop tool. Using this tool you can merge PDF document and XML to see the output from your local PC/Laptop. It will be easy for you to debug.

  • Pdf from jpg with OCR asks to "save to online account"

    Anyone know whether using OCR on Acrobat XI saves my data on Adobe server thru online account? When creating a pdf from jpg there is a toggle, "save to online account".  I prefer not to store my data in the cloud or on any server--I save only to my personal computer.  Thanks for clarifying this for me.

    When you choose an online account the documents will be saved there otherwise on the local disc.

  • Imported documents (jpg and pdf) showing up negative photos

    I am putting together a newsletter in Pages '09 (v 4.3). From time-to-time, when I import a JPG or PDF that has a photo in the document, the photo reverses itself and becomes a negative image. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Running OSX 10.8.4
    Thanks!

    I think I may have solved this.... I am not sure which of these steps did it or if it really requires all of them, but this worked for me (well pretty much...)
    My theory based on observations above was maybe the system photo library was still somehow set to the old iPhoto one and I needed to force it to update. So, I created a new photo library by starting up photos with 'option' held down. I added a couple of photos to it, and in photos preferences on my mac set it to be the system library. I then started iTunes and synced it to my iPhone - the photos in the new library appeared on the phone. I then quit photos and iTunes, restarted photos with 'option' held down and this time selected the 'proper' photos library. I set it to the system lib in photos preferences. For good measure I also cleared the iPod photo cache in this library (detailed instructions for all of these steps were just taken from online help).
    Now when I restart iTunes and resynced, all worked!!
    The only outstanding issue is for some reason a seemingly random collection of old photos from years ago are being synced too, despite the fact I told it to just do the last 12 months in iTunes. Still much better than before!

  • Converting jpgs of documents to black & white pdfs

    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Long story short - I can provide more details if necessary - I have a collection of jpg files that are pictures of documents - no images - that I had to take to copy them instead of zeroxing them.  I am trying to convert them into pdfs that are:
    1.) as black and white as possible so as to make it as close to printing a regular black and white word document as possible (instead of using a lot of printer ink on printing pictures that just happen to be saved in pdf format), and
    2.) searchable vis-a-vis OCR.
    After a recommendation from a teacher, I purchased Adobe Acrobat a few days ago which I've never used before.  That being said, I can convert them into pdfs, I can make them searchable because I've played around with the OCR and that seems pretty straight forward.
    However, no matter how many times I try, no matter how many different preferences/settings/etc. I play around with (as an aside, how the hell do I revert these settings back to default?  I can't remember what they all were beforehand!), I can't get the pdfs to look like anything other than the same jpg image but now saved as a pdf.
    I've also been recommended ABBYY FineReader, and I've tried that as well and it seems to do a much better job, unless I'm missing something.
    I'd share the documents, but I can't figure out how.
    EDIT:  After uploading pdfs to acrobat.com, taking 30 mins to get workspaces to open up, but then not being able to transfer the documents from acrobat.com to workspaces, I finally uploaded them again from my desktop to workspaces - WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT?!?!
    So my questions basically is this:  How do I get adobe to make files like this:
    https://acrobat.com/?d=KJskXucbh2pBBPuZmsL6Hw
    look like this:
    https://acrobat.com/?d=RrXBupJrVFQBKNT*DdqK5g
    This has been a very frustrating day.  Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks to everyone who has responded to my questions, but I have decided to return Acrobat Pro and stick with ABBYY FineReader.
    Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your responses, but I can't help but feel as if either nobody here is able to see the differences between the two pdfs I link to above, or nobody here believes me when I say that the jpeg file (link above) I used to create the pdf with ABBYY (link above) was the same jpeg file I used to create the pdf  with Acrobat (link above).
    Instead, the consensus seems to be that the only way I could have possibly created the kind of perfect-looking black and white (or monochrome or whatever) pdf that I made with ABBYY (as opposed to pdfs Acrobat makes, which look and print exactly like the jpeg images but with various grey filters applied to it) was by using a scanner, a perfectly flat document, and maybe even graphics editing software.
    None of these are needed because that isn't the issue here.  I wasn't allowed to use a scanner anyway as is often the case when digitizing documents from a university's library archives. 
    The only thing you need to do is not use Acrobat but use ABBYY FineReader 11 instead.  FineReader was not only able to convert the jpegs (despite the fact the jpegs were made not with a scanner but a webcam that was propped above the document) into pdfs that looked like the one above, but did so unbelievable easy - simply by selecting the black and white mode option before the conversion.
    Again, I appreciate everyone who took the time to read and respond to my questions, and perhaps in the field of pdf conversion and creation what I'm asking to do isn't often done or in high demand, which may perhaps be why Acrobat can't do it.  Admittedly even on ABBYY's software this black and white mode is a brand new feature.  Nevertheless, the fact that ABBYY's software can do this so easily, even with imperfectly taken jpeg files, AND produce OCR that is more accurate that Acrobat's, all for less than half of Acrobat's cost, I can't help but question why Adobe can't get their feature-laden, labyrinthian software to do this, especially for 450 bucks.
    Also, with all due respect, when someone is asking if acrobat can do something with already-existing files (that couldn't be made with a scanner) that a similar software can do with those same files, responding by suggesting that they throw out the files they already made and have to use, go back and recreate new files in a way that was already determined to be unavailable is both unhelpful and a bit frustrating, especially you come off in your suggestions as seeming to ignore or disbelieve that the other standalone software actually did this in the first place.
    Thanks again for everyone's time, and I hope this thread is of some use in the future to anyone trying to do what I'm doing now.

  • When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

    When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

    When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that.  Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
    It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

  • Can't pdf save documents from Firefox 6.0.2

    I have windows XP sp3 + all updates, Firefox 6.0.2 and Adobe Reader X (10.1.0).
    When I download a document from the web and use the Adobe Reader options to save the document to disk I get the following error message.
    "The Disk you were saving to or the Disk used for Temporary files is  full.  Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a  different disk."
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled but get same result. My other PC's have same setup and work okay.
    If I open a document with Adove Reader and save as it works, so it seem to be associated with the Firefox plugin.
    Regards
    Allan

    Thanks to Bernd and Allan
    "Save as" from within the browser is ok. However it is not the most convenient method.
    I've deinstalled Adobe Reader X and deleted all the remaining files from a previous version (8) which had obviously not been cleared correctly, and cleaned the hard disk including registry keys with CCleaner. Then I've reinstalled Adobe Reader X. The problem remains
    I understand that there are several problems with Acrobat Reader X in all sorts of browsers. Saving is one of them, but also opening pdf-files from within a browser may cause problems (I had this from time to time). See also the following threads in this forum:
    - thomas.croonen "can't save PDF from Internet Explorer embedded Adobe Reader", first posted on March 6, discussion still active
    - fonduekid "Adobe Reader X - Firefox integration Problem", first posted on November 23, 2010, dito
    Thus I wonder whether Acrobat has planned the fixing of these problems (even for old Windows systems like XP) or whether we have to cope with the inconveniences. And I am surprised that there is no official answer by Acrobat to this obviously quite common problem.
    Bye,

  • How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?

    How do I scan multiple documents to a single pdf from the ADF on my MX922?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Riceburner1,
    Since you have had difficulty scanning using My Image Garden, you can scan using the IJ Scan Utility program that also comes with the printer.  To do this, please follow these steps:
    1. Place the documents in the ADF or on the platen glass of the printer.
    2. Start the IJ Scan Utility.
        For Windows 8.1:
        1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
        2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it, then continue with Step 3 below.
        For Windows XP:
        1. Go to your START MENU, then select ALL PROGRAMS, then CANON UTILITIES, then the IJ SCAN UTILITY program.
        2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears. Please continue with Step 3 below.
    3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
    4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window. In the Select Source field of the Scan Options section, select DOCUMENT (ADF/PLATEN) to scan items placed directly on the platen glass, DOCUMENT (ADF SIMPLEX) to perform single-sided scanning from the ADF, or DOCUMENT (ADF DUPLEX) to perform double-sided scanning using the ADF. You can then set the item size, resolution, etc. in the Scan Options section as desired.
    5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
         a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.  Please note that the filename that you give the document here will be the default filename for all items scanned until you change the file name.  If you leave the file name the same in the field, the scanned item will have a sequential number appended to the end of whatever name you give it.
         b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the desired option. If you are scanning a multipage document, select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
         c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
    6.  In the APPLICATION SETTINGS section of the window, please select the DO NOT START ANY APPLICATION option.  
    7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
    8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed.   Once the scan is completed, scanned images are saved in the previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
    Hope this helps!

  • Is there a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying?

    Does anybody know a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying? All this within the OS possibilities? Is there a way?
    know one can buy expensive programmes like from Adobe, but I use it so little that I would like a cheaper solution. Freeware would be great, shareware also.
    Any suggestion grateful received.

    No way to do that using the OS (although the entire pdf can be encrypted, once the password is applied the document is open for copying/printing).
    However, the freeware PDFLab does allow password protection, the 'owner' pw allows full access, the 'user' pw can be restricted for printing, copying, etc:
    http://www.iconus.ch/fabien/pdflab/
    This can also be done with Adobe's Create PDF Online, but the above is free, and works well.
    Hope this helps...
