How do I create a PDF document with multiple different page sizes?

I scan tif images and can have a single document with Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and even full map plan sizes (36" X 24") all in one document. I get the document all set, then do a: File, Print, choose Adobe PDF (running Acrobat XI Pro), but it converts all the pages in my tif file to a single size.
I've found where to set the size, but the problem is I have many different sizes. Is there a way to have the Adobe PDF printer, just use the original documents page sizes for each page when converting?

The program I use to create the TIF files (OpenText's eDOCS Imaging) does not make PDFs, it makes TIFs (and TIFFs). To then convert this, if I try to do it through Adobe directly, I get an error which prompts me to open it in the native program and to choose print and then select the adobe printer.
This works perfect if every page is the same size, but many times my documents have many different page sizes as well as portrait and landscape within the same document (but that is a separate option).
Doesn't Adobe have a "use the original page size / orientation" as an option when creating PDFs from existing documents?

How do I create a PDF document with a URL so that I can link it to my webpage?

I am in the middle of creating a business website. Some of the words on a page I've highligted and set them as a link to other information. I've typed up a Word doc and saved it as a PDF and on my webpage I have: Click here to see a sample report. I want to create a link so that when someone clicks on it the PDF document will open up. How do I do that?

Hi,
This is not the right forum for this, please ask it in Acrobat forum.

Creating a pdf document with both single pages and spreads

Hi, i'm not sure if this is possible, but basically i'd like to set up a document which allows me view the first three pages as single sheets and the remainder of the document as a booklet. The reason for this is I'm sending a cover letter, CV and then a booklet via email to apply for a job, and the booklet i have created has graphics which run accross the spread. I was hoping to lay the document as such:
1. cover letter
2. CV
3. Booklet front cover
4-5. booklet spread
6-7. booklet spread
8-9. booklet spread
I'm not too familiar with how to set this up (or if this is possible), could anyone point me in the right direction?

@Dave Merchant - The pages are true spreads, I've had a go at attempting to define the page type by the master but i can't seem to get it to split the document so that the first three pages remain single. I had a go at trying to create an entire new document with the pages in in order, but not sure how to insert single pages and spreads combined within the document.
@Test Screen Name - Do you know how i would be able to create such a document within indesign? i've had a look for some answers in the documentation but havent come accross anything yet (im on CS5). I had a go at combining the documents as the booklet and the single pages, but when i change the view options in acrobat to two page the first pages becomes a cover and the second and third are next to each other.

How can I create a "master" document with multiple variations?

I designed a map that will be posted at a few dozen junctions with a "you are here" symbol. Every one will be identical with the exception of this symbol. I don't know if there is any way to do this while preserving a "master" map that can be edited all at once. For example, I may need to change the location of the paths and it would be a real time saver if I didn't have to edit 20+ files (each with an arrow in a different spot but otherwise the same) separately. Also, I will be sending the file over email to a professional printer, so I am very uncertain about what would be a standard way to format something like this and really wouldn't want to clog their email.
I haven't been able to figure out an easy way to do this. I'm wondering if it involves using multiple artboards, a feature that I'm not very familiar with, or if the easiest way is to have a layer for each symbol location and just save twenty files (whew) and send them to the printer as separate documents - which seems super clumsy.
I have tried copying the artboard multiple times. This was my best attempt at editing all at once: I created whatever I needed on one artboard, then dragged it to the symbols panel, then cut, then went to edit > paste on all artboards. However, this doesn't allow me to simply fiddle with a path or object that already exists and I can't figure out how I would delete the same object from all artboards.
If anyone has some thoughts, I'm pretty novice, so please keep it in simple terms. Also, I am in a bit of a time crunch, so speedy answers are much appreciated! Thank you!

Alright, that makes sense. And yep...I've never worked with a professional printer so I wasn't sure if it is standard to have something that will require that much involvement in the set-up on their part, but I guess it's preferable to sending a bunch of separate documents. Thanks so much for your help, Larry!

How to create a PDF document with page curls using Adobe CS 4?

My goal is to create a PDF document with page curls. I am using Adobe CS 4.
1.      The document was created in Adobe InDesign CS 4 where the page turn (curl) transition was applied.
2.      Then the document was exported to .swf.
3.     The .swf file was imported into   Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a PDF file with flip page or page curl transitions.
These are the problems.
1.      The background is not transparent.
2.      Page dimensions have to be increased at least an inch in width and length so that the full page can show
3.      The command and+   will not only increases the document's screen size. It increases the page margins.

PDF was never designed to support the Flash page curl effect (it didn't exist back then). Anything you try (and you've tried the standard hack) will look like a hack. Personally, I don't think the effort is worth it for an effect that's much overused.

Creating a PDF document with visible bookmarks

Hi.
I'm using VB to create a PDF document with bookmarks. I have no problem with this part.
What I want to do, though, is to program the document so that the bookmarks pane is visible when I open the document.
Any ideas?
All Best,
Ethan

I found the answer in the Interapplication Communication API Reference:
Dim SetPageMode as Boolean = PDDoc.SetPageMode(nPageMode),
where nPageMode has the possible values:
0: leave the view mode as is
1: display without bookmarks or thumbnails
2: display using thumbnails
3: display using bookmarks

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

How to create a pdf document with specific security settings

Hallo,
in Adobe Acrobat you can set security settings which make documents unprintable, unchangeable etc.
What I want to do is: I want to set these security settings by creating the pdf-document, because I do not want to open every document and change the security settings. Is this possible at all???
Thank you for help
Elisabeth

How are you creating the documents? If using Adobe PDF printer, use the security options in Adobe PDF printer settings. If using PDFMakers (Acrobat buttons inside Office applications, open the Preferences menu item and set security there)

One document... different page sizes?

Hi! I just upgraded to InDesign CS4. My boss wants me to create a flipbook. I have the October issue of InDesign Magazine which will help. However, the document I want to turn in to a flipbook has 6 regular-sized page (8.5x11) and one larger page (11x17). I know in Quark (which I much more familiar with) you cannot have different page sizes within one document. Can you do this in InDesign? Thanks.
Julie

Having played with this a bit, let me ask this a different way. I'm taking a printed document that is like a regular magazine (except it's much shorter). It has a front cover which is 8.5 x 11 and a back cover which is 8.5x11. All interior pages are 2-page spreads. From what I can tell, I have to create the pages in InDesign 4 and export them as an swf file. This currently creates all 2-page spreads. So... how do I get the front and back covers to be single pages? I can do it so that the other half of the spread is blank, but that's not what I want. I want it it to "act" like a real magazine. Thanks.

We created a pdf document with comments and hyperlinks. On iPad, comments/hyperlinks disappear.

Using Acrobat Pro 9, we created a pdf with comments and hyperlinks to be shared with a large community on the iPad, through a server. Once the document is opened on the iPad, all the comments and hyperlinks disappear. Are we missing a tool on the iPad or is there a different way to create this file? Thank you.

Is everyone on the iPad using the latest version of Adobe Reader mobile for iOS (10.6 at the moment)? You can see all the comments (including drawing markups) as well as view the notes attached to text markup with this version.

Create a pdf document with an expiration date.

as I can do to make the pdf document has an expiration date, starting from the date in which it has fallen.

Actually, it can be done with JS, but it is far from a secure solution and there are various ways a user can get around it (download a new copy of the file, disable JS entirely, change their local time, etc.), so yes, for a real solution you'll need to use DRM technology.
