How do I add pages to a pdf file?

I am new to iMac.
I am used to using Adobe Acrobat for Windows to create pdf files. In Acrobat, when you scan a page, you have the option to add the page to an existing pdf file.
I know how to use the Scan feature on Print & Fax to create pdf files on the iMac.
I can not figure out how to make a pdf more than one page (unless I use the document feeder to scan in a multiple pages at once.) When I use the flat bed scanner, I can not figure out how to scan another page into the same file.
I also can not figure out how to add another page to an existing pdf file.
It does not appear Adobe Acrobat is available for the Mac, just Adobe reader. If it was, I would just buy that.
Does anyone know how to do these two things, or a program that can?
Thanks,
-Lee

You mean it didn't take over your printing system and force you to use it?
It didn't break print to PDF functionality?
It didn't install a bunch of software you didn't want and then promptly abandon half of it?
It doesn't report an error if you try to remove the software that Adobe disabled 4 minutes after you bought it?
It doesn't continually ask you to register your software and continue to ask no matter how many times you register?
It doesn't continually tell you there are Adobe RAW updates that you need to install, even though you don't use that and don't want it, and tell it to ignore.
It doesn't report an error when you give up and tell it to install the Adobe RAW update?
Acrobat contains features that are useful and very much needed in a desktop publishing environment.
As do many other competing programs. Apple Preview can generate perfectly good PDFs and is more than adequate for the vast majority of users. PDFClerk can do things Acrobat could never dream of.
I have no experience of Acrobat Reader on the Mac so I can't comment on that.
I do, so I will comment. It is slow, bloated, and very poorly written software. It must be updated weekly due to cross-platform security flaws that are actively being exploited. Even if you do install it to use some Adobe-only feature, you may wind up having to run Acrobat in Windows because the Mac version's output is so bad.
All of the items I've listed here are just my personal experience. If you want more, just use the Apple Discussions search feature. Unfortunately, I haven't found an adequate replacement for Photoshop, so I still have that installed. Preview, however, is much better than Adobe Reader.

    You don't.
    Adobe Reader is a reader application. You can't use it to do editing.
    If you have Adobe Acrobat on Mac or Windows, you can add pages.

  • How to programmatically add rectangle to a pdf file ?

    How to programmatically add rectangle to a pdf file ?
    There is several page pdfs, non-vector, black and white.
    Users are color blind and have disabilities.
    To train them, one adds a rectangle at a certain lower-left point and width,height specified for a page.
    The idea is to give the script the page and coordinates and size of rectangle to be added programmatically. Green rectangles are acceptable as the cones are most sensitive there.
    Also, additional feature to add bookmarks on the left in the order these rectangle data is provided to the script.
    The script could be "hard-wired" by a list of the rectangle coodinates, and page number, pasted inside acrobat and run or entered into acrobat in some way.
    Your script would help many disabled people who are distributed through out the world.
    Feel free to contact me by email if you wish.

    P.S.
    This rectangle does not have to be a full annotation rectangle which needs user,date and a lot of info.
    Something minimal like this would suffice
    1 0 0 RG % red for stroke color
    200 300 50 75 re
    As you can see that the native unit of the pdf file is the "point" having 72 in an inch.
    The file dpi would be given. However, one could assume that pixel for the rectangle lower-left and width/height are given.
    From the pixels and dpi, the points could be calculated if desired.

  • How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    Hi timk,
    None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.
    Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)
    If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.
    Please let us know how it goes!

    Hi abull,
    To add or remove pages from a PDF, you need Acrobat. You can try Acrobat Pro for free for 30 days if you'd like--for more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • How do I add a folder of pdf files to itunes?

    Hi. I am preparing for my Ipad arriving next week. I have over 500 pdf files arranged in folders. I am trying to add them to my itunes library so as to sync to Ibooks but when I try adding a folder, nothing happens. I can add the files individually but this is going to make it difficult to organise the files because I need quick access on request when using the files.Does anyone have any ideas please

  • Pdf files - how can I add text to a pdf file

    I want to allow my Google group to fill info out on a Numbers form, but the Mac users evidently don't have Numbers. I sent it to them as a pdf file, but text can't be added to it as a pdf file. There has got to be a way. I tried using Tools - annotate - add text, but that didn't really work. Any help?

    Because you are recent switcher to OS X I'd strongly recommend bookmarking and using these links, they're designed for those that have recent made the switch and for this considing it.

  • How do I add web links to PDF files

    I have a pdf file with a list of songs, and I need to add a web link to each one.
    How do I do it?

    Hi,
    That is not possible via CreatePDF, in createPDF you need to upload the file on your machine for convertion. For Website convertion to PDF, you would require Adobe Acrobat.

  • How to Reorient One Page in a PDF File?

    Hi, I have a multi-page PDF file created with Epson Scan on an Epson Stylus Photo RX500 and saved in Adobe Reader 9.4.6.  There was a way to reorient the pages after scanning and before saving to PDF but they were just little thumbnails and I didn't see till after saving that the first page was upside-down.  Now whenever I try to flip just the first page, they all turn!  Is there a way I can get just the first page the other way round and leave all the others without rescanning the whole thing?  Thanks!

    Thanks.  I did the scans quickly expecting to be able to edit them as with Jpegs.  I guess this means I won't be able to crop off the black borders around the pages either, so I think I'll just rescan the whole document with white paper behind the pages to make cleaner borders.

  • How do I change page margins on pdf file on acrobat?

    Hi there
    Could someone please help me. I need to change the page margins on a pdf file using adobe acrobat.  The page size is 7" by 10" which I have been able to change.  I need to change the page margins to:
    Left - .75"
    Right - .25"
    Top - .25"
    Bottom - .25"
    I know it is probably something really simple but I just can't figure it out.
    Thank you for your help

    Not simple at all. Actually, Acrobat isn't built to do this type of thing. You would want to make those changes in the original document and create a new PDF.
    The main problem here is that Acrobat will not reflow the text as the margins grow.

  • How to collate same pages across multiple PDF files

    I have multiple reports in PDF that have specific employee data on each page. The employee page order is the same across each PDF (Employee #75 is on page 43 in each file). I would like to combine the first page from each file together, the second, and so on. That way I can provide this data to each employee without them having access to other employee's data. Is there a way to do this in Acrobat Pro?

    Hello try67,
    thank you for your help. I try it in the SDK forum. Anyway I appreciate any hint to solve this task :-)
