How do I import a pdf document into Pages?

How do I import or convert a PDF document into an iMac Pages document?

Drag and drop.....Open the Pages document, navigate to the .pdf in Finder, grab the .pdf and drop it into the Pages doc. Couldn't be easier. Very simple in a single page document in a multi page .pdf it might be easier to use Automator to grab the individual pages.
If you want to make the .pdf editable then you will need to get a license of Adobe Acrobat.

Importing one Pdf document into another.

I am trying to import one Pdf-document into another using a Reference XObject. I am looking at thePDF- specification, and I thought I was doing things the right way, but its not working. The PDF-specification doesen't have an example of how to do this, only an explanation.
Below is the PDF-file I am testing with (if anyone can be bothered looking at it ). The file embeds another pdf-file, and is supposed to show a part of the embedded file at a certain position.
Again, if anyone can be bothered looking at my PDF and see if they can see what I am doing wrong here I would appreciate it.
(There is nothing wrong with the embedded file itself...)
PDF-file embedding another PDF-file and using a Reference XObject to display the embedded file:

PDF is a binary format. The most important piece in a PDF file is the cross
reference table. It contains byte offsets to the different objects in a
file. If you insert just one space (which in a true ASCII file will not
change much), you are making all byte offsets after the insertion point
invalid. They now all point to something different than the start of an
object.
Because there is no standard about how line endings are encoded in text
files, every time may add (or subtract) a byte - depending on what computer
system and what editor you use to convert your PDF to fake-ASCII, and then
again what I use to try to convert it back to PDF. If you are using a
Windows system and I'm using a Mac, the cross reference table gets
corrupted. And that's even before the web server does it's magic and
potentially adds data.
If you want somebody to look at your file.
Have you looked at the post I linked to? The settings in Acrobat are
important. You need to enable Reference XObjects, AND you have to declare
the directory where your target file is stored as trusted.
From what I can see in your PDF code, you are doing a whole bunch of cm
operations. You may want to consolidate all those into one operation. I
have not done a detailed analysis, but you could potentially shift your
data off the page. Keep it simple and see if that makes a difference.

How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
Then link to this using the url "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
My user name is "wayne"
so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector

How do I bind multiple PDF Documents into one single document?

I am trying to bind multiple PDF documents into one single document can anyone please help me?

You would need Adobe Acrobat to do that. Reader doesn't have the ability.

How can I combine separate pdf documents into one document with several pages

I have been using Preview to separate pdf pages into separate pdf documents. How might I do the reverse. Preview appears to have combined the documents in the thumbnail, but will not allow saving this. It just saves the highlighted page.

Open all the documents. Choose View > Contact Sheet. All the pages will be shown as thumbnails, separated by document. Select the pages you want in the final document and drag them into the desired order, in one document space.

How do you insert another PDF document into an existing PDF page

Here's some background. I used to use Acrobat 5 (I know it's really old but it worked great for my needs, but it's time to upgrade). Say I have an existing 1 page PDF document (an Invoice for example). Sometimes in Excel I create additional supporting details/calculations/etc that I must place onto the Invoice. In the past I would print my Excel document to PDF using PDF Broadgun (great tool!) - and I'd like to keep doing this. Then I would go into Acrobat 5, open up my 1 page Invoice PDF document, then I'd use the Form tool, insert Icon, and select my "supporting" PDF document right onto the 1st page. Then, as needed, I could resize it and place it anywhere on the existing Invoice/PDF 1 page document that I started with, and the resolution was great (i.e. no "grainy" appearances, etc).
I've now upgraded to Acrobat XI Pro (well, technically I'm trialing to make sure it'll will meet my needs - so far so good, until I ran into this). I have tried copying the Excel data directly into my PDF Invoice document, but it often times makes the object super large (way off the page left to right) and then I have to resize it (substantially reducing the size) in order to make it fit the page. This resizing the causes the text to appear "grainy".
So pretend that my original Invoice/PDF 1 page document took up the top 1/2 of the page. Then in Excel I create some backup which is say 5-10 lines of calculations. How can I get the Excel backup as an Image into my original 1 page document (and on 1 page)? The only work around that I've found so far is to insert it as the last past, then highlight the new stuff from Excel, cut and copy it onto page 1 (these seems like several extra steps in my eyes, but it does work).
I also want to avoid using screen snip-it, snagit, and various other tools for the following reasons:
1. I don't want to remove the grid lines within Excel (i.e. when you print from Excel the grid lines do not print by default)
2. I use PDF Broadgun to generate a PDF (i.e. electronic print) and then the data/document looks just like I'd want it to look if I had physically printed it
Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance for the help too.
Other Details: Windows 7 Pro, company/business use

I don't see what the problem is with printing to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer as you did with the other tool. Then open your new Excel PDF and do the same process as before (assuming it worked for you). Just go to the Tools>Interactive and add a button field (I assume this is what you did before) and put the file there. At least give it a try as I think that is what you said you used to do.

How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.
Be well...
