How do I print multiple PDFs AND fit them to my paper size?

Hi,
I'm using a 24 inch wide plotter with roll paper. I want to be able to print multiple PDFs AND fit them to a specified paper size. I can print one page and fit it to the paper, but I can't do it with multiple PDFs.
For example, I have two PDFs that are only 8x8 inches. I want to print them side by side on a 24 inch x 12 inch page size and fit them to size and then FIT them to the page size so the end result will be 2 PDFs printing at 12 x 12 side by side.
I can't seem to be able to do this. I'm sure I was able to do this using earlier versions. As it is, I have to print one at a time and waste half of my roll paper size.
Any help?
Adobe Acrobat Pro, Windows 7 Proffesional, HP Designjet 111 roll fed plotter.
Thanks

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg

How do I process multiple files and turn them from raw to jpeg. Ive tried and it seems to go through the files but doesnt seem to process them or store them in the selected folder

Yes that was the first thing I did. Then I used the process multiple files and selected a new folder to put them in and selected use open files and selected to turn them into jpeg. The images flash on the screen like they are being processed, but the folder never appears in library. Is it possible because there are a couple 16 bit files open that this corrupts the task. Do I need to create the folder first. Will elements not create the folder on its own.
Thanks Vince

How to batch print multiple PDFs in Mac OS X?

Does anyone know of any new software that allows one to batch print multiple PDF files with a print dialogue for the first file, followed by dialogue-less printing for the rest?
I work for an architect's firm and we often find ourselves printing dozens of A1 PDFs, going through the print dialogue window for each file.
We used to be able to batch print when Preview.app could open multiple PDFs in one window; it lost this capability in a regression when it gained bookmarks and we've been living in batch print stone age ever since.
(A desktop printer doesn't work by the way)

Open one of the PDFs in Preview then drag the rest of the files into the sidebar. Print the resulting file. If you don't want to save it as a single PDF just select 'Don't Save' when you exit.
Wow! I've been asking this question repeatedly for a couple of years now and you're the first person to mention this. Thanks a lot. There will be some happy campers in our office, I tell ya.
I missed it because all the large PDFs we create include a table of contents and you have to switch to thumbnail view before you can drag and drop additional PDFs.
With the type of files we produce It takes 30 seconds or so to add 8 files together, so it's not ideal but it's a lot faster and more convenient than Acrobat Pro or printing each file separately.
Another option is to open the printer window and drag all the files into it. They will print automatically with no dialog box.
This doesn't work because you can't choose the size of paper you want to print to.
Thanks again, your first post too.

How do I select multiple songs and uncheck them from compilations (itunes 10.5.2)

So I found to my annoinance that itunes has recently moved much of my music to compilations that shouldn't be there. I tried searching online for how to turn compilations off or select multiple songs and uncheck them from compilations all at once and although I found both answers, they must have only worked for older versions of itunes. I no longer can find the option to turn off compilations under preferences and when I try to select multiple songs at a time then press "Get Info" the "part of a compilation" checkmark is not there. It is only there when one song is highlighted. This is very frustrated. In fact I would venture to say I've never been so angry with Apple. There are 609 songs "stuck" in my freaking compilations! I don't have time nor should I have to take the time to go through every single song right clicking it, pressing "Get info", unchecking "part of compilation" then clicking ok. WAY TOO MUCH TIME! If anyone has any good news on a faster way to do this I'd be VERY THANKFUL!

This was a life saver! I even started to manually tick the box as well!

How do i select multiple steps and move them?

Hi everyone! I'm trying to select multiple steps and move them all into a branch of a condition outcome. Here's the thing, I have almost completed my workflow with several steps for dynamic approval, however, i need to put a condition at the very start of the workflow and it does not seem that there is an easy way to move all of the steps into one branch. I find the workflow explorer really clumsy in this respect. Is it easier to just drag one outcome of the condition, say to the very end of the workflow? It does not seem to work for me though...hmmm...
Thanks and generous points will be awarded!

Funtion Module 'SWD_GET_WORKFLOW_DEFINITION ' gives the structure of the Workflow definition. The informations are stored in following table.
1. SWDSTEXT -> Table which gives WF Steps and descriptions
2. SWDSBINDEF --> Binding information is stored in this table
3. SWDSMNODES -> All nodes information is stored in this table
4. SWDSMLINES -> Workflow lines are stored in this table.
SWDSMLINES and SWDSMNODES are important tables for current requirement. By changing SWDSMLINES the bulk copy and paste can be incorporated. But this is very very risky, better to have a backup of workflow definition before doiing anything.
Any enthuiasts to write code for a unitlity to move multiple steps ?

How do I print multiple (PDF) pages per sheet in Lion?

The printing interface has changed in preview, and whereas there used to be an option to print multiple pages per sheet, there's now only an option to print multiple copies per sheet. The latter is of no use to me, whereas printing multiple pages per sheet was very useful since I often print large documents.

Well, in Snow Leopard I used to print PDFs from Preview, and if I recall correctly, where it now says 'copies per page', it used to say 'images per page'. So of course, I now have a couple of printouts with two copies of each page per sheet.
But the preview tab and then the option 'layout' works. I don't understand why this interface had to change though.

How can i print a PDF to fit to page ?

Maybe this is due to some setting i am overlooking..
I have some PDF pages which i want to print on A4 sheets. However, the pages which come out are zoomed in copies , displaying about 60% of the page and cutting out the rest.
I want to fit the page to A4 size paper while printing.. Where do i have to make this setting ?
Thanks

That depends on the program, but if it's Preview, go to Page Setup... under the File menu. Select the appropriate paper size there. Then go to File > Print... and do a Preview. If the content does not fit on the page, some printer drivers will have a Scale to Fit setting. If there is none, go back to Page Setup... and manually adjust the Scale until it fits nicely when you do a Preview.

Print multiple pdf pages to one sheet of paper

I want to print a 70 page pdf file but don't want 70 pages.
I want 4 of the pdf pages on one sheet of paper, and I would really like to double side.
This is what I'm working with (and not having any success in getting what I want)

Hi,
That can be done easily using the Booklet feature of the printer driver.
Open the PDF in Adobe Reader, then clcik on File > Print.
Click the Properties button.
Within the Layout tab check the radio option next to Booklet, you may keep the draw borders box checked or uncheck it as you prefer.

Preview buggy when printing multiple pages per sheet using a custom paper size

I have a square book I've designed and I've printed the pages to a PDF. Now I'd like to re-print the pages so you can see facing pages together exactly like when, in preview, you select "View > Two Pages".
Each page is 12x12 so I'd like to re-print them to be 24x12 (24-wide)
I was previously able to do this in preview (prior to mountain lion) using the "layout > two pages per sheet" option with a custom paper size but when trying with Mountain Lion, the print-dialog preview doesn't match the output when saved as pdf; pages either get shrunk or cropped without my permission and it generally seems to be buggy. I've been playing around with it for over an hour and can't get two pages side-by-side to take up a full 24x12 custom virtual page when saved as PDF
I would expect the print preview to accurately display what will be printed (saved as PDF) and I am guessing that maybe the printer selected (HP all-in-one) is affecting the preview and save to pdf options?
Can someone tell me how to achieve a printed rendition of the "view > two pages" layout?

I have a little more information. I turned on "single hairline" border and as you can see, it's converting my square pages into "US Letter" pages BEFORE applying them two-to-a-page. So it's using my selection of "Paper Size" as both the source and destination paper size, rather than just the destination size, because my source is obviously 12x12 square (confirmed by looking at page properties in preview). Apple, please fix this

How can I print multiple pdf files?

Some of the pdf documents we work with are are architectural plans. One file might contain several pages or it might contain just one. Typically we will print several files at a time, either by opening each or just dragging to the printer. A frustrating part of this is that we cant seem to control the order in which they print, ie file1..file2..file3.
Using Reader 8.1.2. Any ideas would be appreciated.

How do I select multiple pictures and compact them so there is no space between them?

I know this should be easy, but I am spending a ton of time trying to move 45 pictures in my video closer together...one by one. Is there a way to grab, let's say 20 pictures, and combine or compact them together so there is no space between them? I'm tired of doing it one by one and trying to get it right. Thanks -

Are these connected clips? Probably not at this stage.
If they were connected, and you wanted to shorten each one, the way to do that is to make the connected clips a secondary storyline and then shorten them. The magnetic storyline will pull them up next to each other.

How do I print multiple copies of a page in a PDF File?

How do I print multiple copies of a page in a PDF File? For some reason I tell it to print, for example, 3 or 4 copies of a certain page and it will only print one copy!!!

OS X 10.9.5Adobe Reader 11.0.10
I increase the number of copies to 3, 4, or 5 (etc.) but it would still only print one copy of the designated page/pages.

How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper? Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

no - you simply have to select the option to print mucliples of a photo on a page
select the photo and go to the file menu ==> print - select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize - in the tool bar click on the settings icon (the gear looking thingy) and select "multiple of the same photo per page" and the preview will reflect this option showing a full page of the selected size photos

How to i write a script that makes multiple selections in a pdf and exports them to excel?

I have a large number of PDFs
Not all the PDFs contain information we need. We want to be able to automate a script that extracts certain info from the PDFs and opens them in a certain format in excel.
Acrobat allows me to make a single selection and export as excel.
How do i export multiple parts to excel from the pdfs and ensure that the resulting excel is in a format that i can use without much fixing needed (e.g. merged cells)?

This type of process can't really be done using JavaScript. You would need to read the contents of the file, word by word, decide (based on some logic) what data to extract, and then collect it and at the end export to a plain-text file. Not a simple process...
