How do I merge multiple artboards into another document?

I am working on a team, and we'd like to combine our work into a master document that contains all of our different artboards.
I have a UI document set up with multiple sets of different artboards. I.E. a row of 32x32 artboards with individual small icons, a row of 60x60 artboards with bigger icons, etc. so recreating these would be very cumbersome.
I know it's possible to just copy paste everything into one document, but what is the strategy for copying the artboards as well?
I'm currently looking at having to rebuild the artboards in the master document, so any help would be MUCH appreciated!! Thank you.

Ah that's something! I drew 32x32 rectangles around my icons, copied rectangles+icons over to new document. Then selected just the rectangles around the icons and did Object > Artboards > Convert to Artboards
Now I just have to rename them again, which is not as bad as recreating each one. That's pretty awesome, thank you Monika!
Further question for Monkia/Adobe/comminuty: is there an even more automatic way to merge artboards from two files together? Ideally it would just merge all the artboards to a new file (in the same place, etc).
The Artboard feature makes Illustrator a very viable tool for app UI design (center icons in individual art boards, export with transparency, at different resolutions etc). Having icons be symbols is also useful - change an icon, it propagates throughout the layout.
However, not being able to merge artboards (with respective names) from different files prevents it from being terribly useful for teams.
I found a discussion regarding a script for CS5 by CarlosCanto that seems to do this, but it doesn't work on CS6:

Again, thank you Monika, your advice just saved me a TON of time, and I hope this feature makes it into future versions of Illustrator.

How do you merge multiple songs into one album?

When I added a downloaded album to iTunes, it created one album for each track. How do I merge all of these albums/tracks into one album?

Some albums will fracture into a million pieces if you have different artist names. How the columns are sorted can effect this.
If it is a multiple artists on one album select 'Compilation' in the options section for all of the songs on the album.
NOTE: You need to have multiple items selected to set this flag!

How can I combine multiple pdfs into one document?

I need to consolidate multiple docs into one. How do I do that?

It's pretty easy. Open multiple PDF documents in Apple Preview that came with your Mac. Choose View/Thumbnails so you can see the page thumbnail icons. Select any number (or all) of the page thumbnail icons of one document and drag them to any point in the thumbnails of another document.
For example you can drag page 6 of one PDF between pages 40 and 41 of another PDF doc. But it sounds like you want to select all pages of one PDF and drag them to the end of another PDF doc.
If you need more powerful document combining you can use PDFpen or Adobe Acrobat Professional, but they cost money.

How do I merge multiple windows into 1 window with several tabs?

In Safari it is possible to merge several open windows into 1 single window, with each window becoming a new tab within the new window, so you can easily switch from tab to tab. I cannot find how to do this in Firefox - does anyone know if it is possible? Thanks.

Try Tab Mix Plus.

How to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word Document?

Hi all,
We're looking for a way to merge multiple XML or Text documents into 1 Word document.
All the XML or Text documents are oriented as a 'Paragraph', meaning smaller pieces of text.
By selecting some of these XML documents, the system should be able to create a new Word document with all the selected text paragraphs included.
The Word document can then be edited for applying a correct lay-out and the document is ready.
Actually, we are trying to do some kind of 'mail merge' but with multiple XML or Text documents!
Has anybody an idea whether something exist already or give us a direction how to proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Pascal Decock

You use Assembler for this purpose.
1) Assembler can be accessed through LC Java API. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/enterpriseplatform/10.0/programLC/help/index.html
API Quick Starts (Code Examples) > Assembler Service API Quick Starts
2) Last week I posted on generating and merging PDF's from PostScript. Take a look at the assembly service instance in the .lca. Assembler uses DDX (Document Description XML) to describe document construction. NOTE the .lca was developed with ES 3 (aka ADEP). The .lca It contains the most basic DDX.

How to retrive one table records into another table by multiple records

how to retrive table X records into another table Y by multiple records (means at once i want display 10 records) in form 6i .
when i am written cursor it is ftching only one record.But i want to display all records at once.
Declare
Cursor cur_name is
select PROTOCOL_NO,DOCNUM,SUBSETSN,REPEATSN,AESEQ,AETERM from coding_ae WHERE PROTOCOL_NO='KP229';
Begin
open cur_name;
loop
fetch cur_name into :PROTOCOL_NO,:DOCNUM,:SUBSETSN,:REPEATSN,:AESEQ,:AETERM;
exit when cur_name%notfound;
next_record;
end loop;
close cur_name;
End;

Hi,
Make sure the cursor is in the detailed block. For that use 8GO_BLOCK* built-in. So the code will be
Declare
Cursor cur_name is
select PROTOCOL_NO,DOCNUM,SUBSETSN,REPEATSN,AESEQ,AETERM from coding_ae;
Begin
GO_BLOCK('<detailed_block_name>');
open cur_name;
loop
fetch cur_name into :PROTOCOL_NO,:DOCNUM,:SUBSETSN,:REPEATSN,:AESEQ,:AETERM;
exit when cur_name%notfound;
next_record;
end loop;
close cur_name;
End;Regards,
Manu.

How to merge one library into another library?

In iPhoto 9.6, is it possible to merge one library into another library? Or otherwise, import individual pictures, from one library into the other library? All of this happening on the same computer.I understand that this feature was covered by Aperture but that this is no longer supported under Yasemite?

No
The current version of Aperture can merge libraries (I have no idea where you got the incorrect information that it can not)
The paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can
Those are you only two choices

How do I merge multiple subscriptions to the same podcast?

In iTunes I have multiple subscriptions to the same identical podcast (same podcast name and same url) ... some of the subscriptions have duplicated entries and some have unique entries ... (how this happened I have no idea, but that is beside the point) ... my question is how do I merge these multiple subscriptions into a single podcast subscription? I have tried cut & paste in the hope that I could then delete (unsubscribe) to all of the redundant/repeated subscriptions, but that does not work ... in explorer I have found that ALL my podcast files from ALL my podcast subscriptions are found in a single folder .. so all the entries from my multiple subscriptions are there as well ... this smoked my hope that each podcast subscription would have it's own folder or sub-folder ... so I'm stuck ... does anyone know how I can merge multiple subscriptions to the same podcast into a single podcast subscription (without my losing the uniques scattered throuhout the mutiple subscriptions) ... ???

I would love to be able to do exactly what you are suggesting .. the problem is, if I delete the duplicate subscriptions, I lose the unique files unique to the duplicate subscription I delete ... the problem is that I can't find a way to save/move the uniques (in advance of deleting the duplicate subscription) into a single subscription ... is there a way to do this ??? Does anyone know how to do this ??? Please help !!!

How do I merge multiple Excel files with more than one tab in each file using PowerQuery?

Hello
I have 12 Excel (.xlsx) files and each file has three identically named and ordered tabs in them.
I know how to merge multiple Excel files in a folder using M (those guides are all over the web) but how do I merge multiple Excel files with multiple (yet identically named and ordered) tabs? Surely it is possible? I just don't know how to do it in M.
Cheers
James

What Laurence says is correct, and probably the best thing to do when the sheets have differing structures. Here is an alternate approach that works well when the sheets all have the same structure.
When you first open the Excel file from Power Query, you can see its structure in the navigator at the right-hand-side of the screen. If you select the root (which is the filename itself) and click Edit, you'll see all the tabs in the sheet as a single table.
You can now do filtering based on the Name, Item and Kind values. When you've reduced the set of things down to the sheets you want, select the Data column and say "Remove Other Columns". If the sheets don't have any header rows, you can just click the expand
icon in the header and you'll be done.
Otherwise, if the sheets have headers or if some other kind of sheet-level transformation is required against each sheet before doing a merge, you'll have to write some M code manually. In the following example, each sheet has a header row consisting of
two columns: Foo and Bar. So the only step I need to perform before merging is to promote the first row into a header. This is done via the Table.TransformColumns operation.
let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\CurtH\Desktop\Test1.xlsx")),
    RemovedOtherColumns = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Data"}),
    PromotedHeaders = Table.TransformColumns(RemovedOtherColumns,{{"Data", each Table.PromoteHeaders(_)}}),
    ExpandData = Table.ExpandTableColumn(PromotedHeaders, "Data", {"Foo", "Bar"}, {"Data.Foo", "Data.Bar"})
in
    ExpandData

__Is there a way to 'merge' multiple curves into a single curve?

__Is there a way to 'merge' multiple curves into a single curve?
By this I mean I have file with 2-12 curve layers - I wanted to 'merge' the curves so that I can end up with a single curve with the attributes of many. Maybe is there a script that would do this?

I don't mean to be critical, but how do you get to a situation where you have 12 successive Curves layers?
The advantage to a Curves layer is that you can adjust and re-adjust it to your heart's content.
If you're habitually adding new Curves layers one over the other, maybe you should re-evaluate your process of working... Perhaps the way you're thinking you should just work at a high bit depth and do repeated Curves operations on the pixels? Or put some time into retraining yourself to not add a new Curves layer but to manipulate the one that's already there. There are some nice new enhancements (e.g., the "finger" subtool that allows you to choose a spot in the image and manipulate that part of the curve).
Again, I'm not trying to criticize you, just looking to see if maybe there's a way to avoid getting to the point where you need to combine Curves in the first place, since there's no direct "Merge Curves" capability, outside of just stamping a set of image and adjustment layers into pixels. For completeness I suppose I should mention how to do that... You can Stamp any combination of visible layers into a single layer of pixels (effectively combining all the Curves layers et. al.) by pressing Control - Shift - Alt - E.

Merge multiple tables into one for export to excel

I've got a few tables in Numbers, and I've spent ages making them all look the same, then when I exported to an excel file, they split up into seperate tables. How can i merge all these into one table so they can all be viewed in Excel, without losing the cell shading/borders etc?
I tried just copying/pasting the tables into a new blank table, but this doesn't paste the borders etc...
Cheers
Adi

Adi,
Fill color will copy and paste, as will Text styles, but borders will not when pasting into another table. My suggestion for future work is to not use fancy borders, or don't apply them until you have combined the tables.
If you would like Apple to consider changing the behavior of borders during Copy/Paste operations, you can leave Feedback for them under the Numbers Menu.
