How do I export pdf from pages via commandline

I have a pages document that I use as a documentation for a library that I've written. When I release the library I hav been manually exporting the document to PDF, but I'm trying to automate the whole process.
Is there a way to get Pages to convert a .pages package to a .pdf file via bash?

Try Automator or an AppleScript.
I am not sure if Yvan our resident AppleScript expert is still monitoring these forums. Apple has offended him to the point he has gone on strike.

How to load a PDF from page 1 in IE

I am currenty working on a fllex based web application that needs to load multiple PDF documents. The pdfs are loaded and displayed properly but after the user scrolls couple of pages/ lines and switches to a new document, IE saves the last visit cursor position of the pdf document. On user revisit to the first PDF the IE loads it from the last cursor position.
I need to reload the PDF document from Page 1 everytime the user selects to load a pdf document.
Is there any setting in the Adobe Acrobat Page display settings or in the IE that would help me accomplish my task.
Please respond ASAP.
NOTE: The pdf is loaded inside an IFRAME.
Thanks,
-Karun

> I have a feeling that removing the save button will not be possible.
You cannot remove the save button, no, but you can replace its execute method with something that, say, pops up a warning to the user instead.
> Is there any way to just load the file using a URL?
The ActiveX control definitely loads a URL. See the "src" property of the ActiveX control. If you download the SDK, the ActiveView sample actually loads a PDF from a URL by default.

How do I export PDFs from Illustrator at 100% ?

Hi, I'm a web designer who routinely sends design comps out for client review, developers, etc. Obviously when I build a comp at 960px x 768px, I want the PDF to reflect those EXACT dimensions, when viewed at 100%. Currently, my Acrobat seems to export my PDFs at approx 125% of my intended size. Can anybody please recommend some settings or tips on how to prevent this? Thanks!

Man, I don't know what I'm doing wrong- 100% looks ginormous. I scaled down to 81% which matches the size of my Illustrator doc at 100%, but even saving the PDF at 81% still...too big.
I'm beginning to think PDFs are still industry standard for print work but for web...not so much. I hate it how it mangles all my line weights and stuff.
Anyway, not trying to hate on PDFs in the Acrobat forum, heh. Just kinda sick of showing my work at the wrong size. I'm wondering if it's b/c I'm building at 72dpi in Illustrator, then saving as "best quality" PDFs, which might be changing the pixel dimensions to a 300dpi, therefore changing the proportions. Thoughts?

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.
Regards,
Barry

How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
Thanks.

If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?

How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?
When I try to open the document in Illustrator and I convert to CMYK the black font converts to rich black, but to set up for Offset printintg I need the text to be only in Black (100%K).
The original source of the document is a Microsoft Word file, I have converted the Word file to Pdf in order to setup for OFfset Printing.
Thanks

I have tried that way, but the downside is that the fonts are set in gray not in a 100%K, also I have to deal with other fonts that are composites and meant to stay Full Color. I could select text by text and convert to gray but, its a 64 page document and I wouldn't want to make a expensive mistake.

How do I place text from Pages in InDesign

How do I place text from Pages in InDesign?

You will need to export the text from Indesign as either .rtf or .doc files and import those.
You can also cut and paste but I assume you have already tried these options and are not happy with the result, but haven't said why.

How can i export PDF as a Booklet formate in InDesign?

Hi,
I am currently working on 48 pages book. Book design is complete and i want to send it to printer as a spread in Booklet formate. how can i export pdf as booklet format?

In this situation we strongly needed PDF in booklet layout. so is there any suggestion for saving that instead of printing?
You have to save a postscript file using the Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD, as Eugene is showing in #6, and distill the .ps file to PDF using Distiller.

Canot email in pdf from pages + keynote with iPad air

I can't email à document in PDF from pages and keynote with iPad air. I reset the iPad an it don't work

Can you mail the files in any other format at all? Did you try emailing a Pages file as a Pages file or as a Word doc?
OK. My response was too late. If you can email them in another format, I don't see how the problem could be with the mail app, but I suppose it's possible anyway. I know that you restored the iPad, and this should help, but try resetting all settings.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but all of your settings will have to be entered again.

Why are my photos distorted in my PDF from Pages?

I have a PDF generated from Pages via “Print to PDF” (vs Save as PDF), and 6 out of 10 photos are jumbled. I have never seen this before from Pages, but it looks like a post-script error. Re-saving did not help...any suggestions?
Thank you!

I am guessing (you have not provided much detail) that you have used the fancier frames or effects in Pages 5.
Apple has removed over 90+ features and many of the remaining features are buggy.
If you had a previous version of Pages, it should still be in your Applications/iWork folder. Use that.

Export PDF from InDesign Book

Hi, I have a customer that has huge problems to export PDFs from InDesign Books. He has books with many documents with a total amount of 500-700 pages, when he try to export a PDF InDesign quit unexpectedly. I wrote a script for him that export the PDF from the book without the progress bar, and sometimes it solves the problem but sometimes not, and I have a "out of memory" message. He must export multiple PDF from the same book and then merge those PDF with Acrobat but he has also interactivity sometimes and it's a nightmare to merge PDFs with interactive objects and bookmarks. Someone of you have experienced the same problem (and maybe has a solution)? Thank you

It seems that InDesign saturate the available RAM during the operation of gathering information before start to export, if I restart InDesign each time and export a selection of documents it works. I'm exporting now two separate PDF and it seems to work, but again only if I close and restart InDesign before exporting, I'm working on an iMac with an Intel 2.93 GHz i7 and a total of 8 GB RAM.
