How Can I Print A Unique Number on a Series of PDF documents?

I have a weird question that I could not find an answer for via search previous questions. I essentaily have a PDF flyer that I want to print X copies of (where as X is a number, 50, 150, whateve amount I need at the moment). I want to have a unqiue number printed on each copy (sort of like a serial number). So Copy 1 would have a number of  909, copy 2 would have a new numbe,r say 910. The unique number could be random or in series (not important which). I'm wondering if this is possible within Adobe Acrobat X or InDesign CS5?

Yes, it's possible with Acrobat, but it requires a bit of scripting. You'll
need to set up:
- A print-only text field
- A script that will launch before the file is printed and update that
field (either by incrementing it or by giving it a random value)
- A script that sends the same file X times to the printer (you can't just
print X copies, because then the field won't update)

    I want sent my PDF to a friend,but I just allow him see it only twice.
    How can I set the maximum number of restarts for my PDF files?
    My software edition is Acrobat X

    In the old days when PDFs were only opened on desktops and only in Acrobat or Reader, scripting could fake security features and people were generally convinced. As there are so many ways to open a PDF without scripts ever being run (from mobile devices to in-browser display, or simply opening the file in Illustrator), none of that works anymore.

    Yes you will need to NAT at some point to go from private to public address space. Here is a basic configuration if you are interested:
    interface F8
    ip nat inside
    interface G0
    ip nat outside

  • How can I print a greater number of songs on a cd jewel case insert.

    How can I get around the number of songs limit when printing a CD jewel case insert? I have a set list of 50 songs but iTunes will only print about 25. There doesn't seem to be any way to reduce the font size.

    1) Use a List, with a custom itemRenderer
    2) Use a Repeater (Probably easiest)
    3) use Actionscript to addChild() components.

  • How can I print the top and bottom halves of 11x17 PDF on 8.5x11?

    I have a multi-page 11x17 PDF of quiz cards designed to be printed double-sided so that a question appears on one side and the answer on the other side. (Page 1 has the questions; page 2 has the answers.)  My printer is 8.5x11 so I would like to print the top half of 11x17 page 1 onto 8.5x11 page 1 and the bottom half of 11x17 page 1 onto 8.5x11 page 2. Then I will flip the 8.5x11 pages over and repeat the process, this time printing 11x17 page 2.
    Is there a way to print the top and bottom halves of an 11x17 PDF onto two 8.5x11 pages?
    Thanks!

    The easiest solution I know of requires you to have a copy of Adobe InDesign. You can easily layout PDFs within InDesign in the configuration you want and create a new PDF.
    I don't know any way to print it directly in that layout, unfortunately.

  • How can one print a particular page or pages from a Word Document using ActiveX or any other technique?

    I've been trying to print  a few pages from a Word document.
    Currently I am able to print the entire document using some ActiveX techniques.
    There seems to be facilities for selecting the particular pages, however so far I cannot get them to work.
    I have tried the From/To and the Pages in the PrintOut invoke node.
    And as you will see I have also tried the Range node.
    Anyone have some ideas on how to do this?
    Please see the attached vi.
    Thanks,

  • How can I make my images look good when exporting to PDF document?

    Hello! I'm struggling here with a PDF Brochure that I need to create (intended for web only, not print).
    There are two images that look horrible and pixelated when I create my PDF file. I have tried everything, making the images bigger and smaller, using 72 dpi images and 300 dpi ones. Everything results the same way... It looks perfect in my InDesign file, but in the PDF it looks all damaged. Here are two screen shots, one of how it looks in the PDF and one of how it looks in InDesign.
    Could you please tell me what I need to do to guarantee that the image looks good quality in the PDF? (My document is 40cmx20cm, I don't not if using cm is affecting the document).
    To export to PDF I'm using the option: Adobe PDF pressets --> Smallest file size.
    If you can help me I would really appreciate it!
    Thank you,
    Nataly.

    Terrible idea. In a JPG the text will not be alive, you loose all interactivity.
    And making JPGs with InDesign is not what the program is meant to make.

  • How can I add a picture to the Automator Action "Watermark PDF Documents.action"

    Looks like a bug: under 10.7.2 i cannot add a picture to the Automator Action "Watermark PDF Documents.action".
    Works perfectly under 10.6.8.

    Its a verified bug (Automator - Watermark PDF Documents).
    Please report to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    As a workaround, if you saved the Action in SL, option-click the action, navigate to the file "document.wflow", open in TextEdit, search for the key "fileNames" and replace your old image with the new

  • How can I allow visitors to my website to search within pdf documents created with Acrobat?

    I honestly had no idea where to place this question. If I should move it to another forum area please just let me know. I have about 200-300 pdf documents on my website and people are able to search by the title of the file but not for items in the body of the document. Is there a way that is possible?

    Are the documents encrypted? If they are not, the common search engines (Google, etc) will normally index all the text in a PDF, the same as if it was a regular Web page. They don't index non-text media within a PDF (images, attachments, etc.) nor will they handle PDF Portfolios.

  • In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

    In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

    You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
    If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15485/labels-&-addresses
    I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.
    Regards.

  • ) how can we print the bar code in SAP_SCRIPTS?

    ) how can we print the bar code in SAP_SCRIPTS?

    hi Pavan,
    barcodes wil be generated in the printer itself, if you give <BC>&HD_GEN-MATERIAL_NUMBER&<> then you have a value for "Barcode" .
    Adding Your Own Bar Code:-

    Print Unique Indicator as a Barcode
    The printing of unique indicators of elements (reference numbers of records, case indicators, or document numbers) as barcodes is controlled by SAPscript forms.
    SAP delivers a common SAPscript form based on the SAP barcode type AUFNR for records, cases, documents and incoming post items.
    To create another SAP barcode type, you can copy the SAPscript form RMPS_BARCODE and then adjust it to your own requirements. Then you have to define the new form using the following attribute names in the table SCMGPARAM:
    From within a SAPscript form, a subroutine GET_BARCODE in the ABAP program QCJPERFO is called. Then the simple barcode contained there (‘First page’, ‘Next page’, ‘Last page’) is printed as local variable symbol.
    Definition in the SAPscript form:
    /: PERFORM GET_BARCODE IN PROGRAM QCJPERFO
    /: USING &PAGE&
    /: USING &NEXTPAGE&
    /: CHANGING &BARCODE&
    /: ENDPERFORM
    / &BARCODE&
    Coding of the calling ABAP program:
    REPORT QCJPERFO.
    FORM GET_BARCODE TABLES IN_PAR STUCTURE ITCSY
    OUT_PAR STRUCTURE ITCSY.
    DATA: PAGNUM LIKE SY-TABIX, "page number
    NEXTPAGE LIKE SY-TABIX. "number of next page
    READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY ‘PAGE’.
    CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
    PAGNUM = IN_PAR-VALUE.
    READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY ‘NEXTPAGE’.
    CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
    NEXTPAGE = IN_PAR-VALUE.
    READ TABLE OUT_PAR WITH KEY ‘BARCODE’.
    CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
    IF PAGNUM = 1.
    OUT_PAR-VALUE = ‘|’. "First page
    ELSE.
    OUT_PAR-VALUE = ‘||’. "Next page
    ENDIF.
    IF NEXTPAGE = 0.
    OUT_PAR-VALUE+2 = ‘L’. "Flag: last page
    ENDIF.
    MODIFY OUT_PAR INDEX SY-TABIX.
    ENDFORM.
    hope this helps you
    Regards,
    Jayant
