How do I: put multiple PDF pictures into one PDF page?

I have just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro Ver 9 - so this apllication and its associated SDK are the only applications available to me for use.
Adobe Acrobat was chosen because of its AutoCAD capabilities (when AutoCAD is not present). i.e. Using Acrobat & AutoCAD's plot configuration files & Pen / colour selection table ensures the output has correct line thicknesses (sometimes colours in CAD are used to represent a line's thickness) - this is preserved when using Acrobat.
The generated output is fantastic. However, when I try to print the output via Excel / Word (used for layout) - my perfect output is reduced to imperfect results.
So: is it possible to layout multiple PDF pictures inside one PDF entity for printing purposes such that the original output is not distorted?
I have in the past put pages in front or behind other pages but cannot find any references or code that works with Pro 9 nor indeed the manual way to insert PDF pages at any location on a single PDF Page?
I'll try and explain. My template coud consist of 6 boxes on a single A4 page thus:
My base PDF Page (can be thought of as a template - ideally it wont be printed - but even if it is - it wont be printed on any media material) has 6 areas (any number of areas up to 100) on it. In each area, there is a box. It is within these boxes that I wish to place a PDF Picture. Not all pictures will be the same. How can I do that? Ideally I'd like some example C# code - though doing it as a user will suffice, for now.
Is there a way of programmatically selecting each of the above boxes on the base PDF Document?
I do know of one manual method (though it seems long winded) and it is not accurate enough in that (even though the layers are deselected) - the hidden layers are subsequently outputed too - not good!
Uses a button icon over each box.
All the current Adobe help for the SDK refers to Pro 8 and previously - which all seems to have now been replaced in Pro 9
This question will be placed in the Developer & User Forums - as it pertains to both.
Thankyou in advance for anyone that either knows any workarounds or any ways to affect a solution.

Picture of what I want to see:
What I get, and don't want to see is:
The PDF was generated using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from an AutoCAD LT (DWG) file without AutoCAD being present but making use of a plot configuration (PC3) file & pen table (CTB) file. The resultant file [WhatIWantToSee.pdf] is perfect - all the lines are the right thickness & colour and are perfect vectors (with no construction / proofing layers visible). When you view that file in Acrobat and show the "Layers" property box, you see that the correct number of layers whilst are still present are indeed turned off.
However, when I add a forms-button to one of the rectangles (please refer to initial post - where there are 6 rectangles), and display same file as icon display. The resultant view is the one shown above named [ What I get and don't want to see]. It seems the saved layer settings are all ignored?
I generated the PDF file through Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Menu | File | Create PDF | From File (Files of type Autodesk) | Options | Selected Layers | Layout | Last Active Layout.
Rectangles are regular content elements - not fields (in the general meaning of form-fields).

I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

Pat:
Below is a copy of an 8/7/2013 email from adobe. I prepaid a one-year subscription, and, until I recently upgraded to Windows 8, I was able to make several dozens of merged pdf documents. I seem to be no longer able to use the merge feature that I had successfully and repeated used. When I search for the merge feature I end up with a request that I pay for an upgrade monthly subscription to use the merge feature.

Error Message When Merging Multiple PDF Files into One PDF File

Good Morning,
I have a problem with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I am trying to merge/combine multiple PDF files into one PDF file, but I keep receiving this error message:
Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you!

To fix:
Provide a unique name for each form field. This includes the individual PDFs fields. As you intend to combine/merge no field name in each of the individual PDFs can be the same.
Be well...

Writing multiple BLOB (PDF) records into one PDF file

I currently have a procedure that writes an individual BLOB pdf row and outputs it to a PDF file, however I would like to write multiple BLOB rows into one PDF.
Oracle version:10g R2.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to do this?
Here is my code, I was hoping to use a cursor FOR LOOP to read the BLOB records. The BLOB records do successfully load into a new PDF file, however when you open it the PDF only the first page is viewable. I am assuming the issue is to do with the PDF format rather than writing the data out to the file. I.e. the Page numbers etc.., incorrect formatting of the PDF?
declare
-- Test statements here
b BLOB;
amount BINARY_INTEGER;
file_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_pos INTEGER := 1;
l_blob_len INTEGER;
l_buffer RAW (32767);
l_amount BINARY_INTEGER := 32767;
file_name_ VARCHAR2(200);
pattern_id_ VARCHAR2(200) := '5555555';
pdf_path_ VARCHAR2(200) := 'PDF_OUT';
cursor get_blob_recs is
select pdf from mds_remote_pdf_tmp;
BEGIN
file_name_ := to_char(pattern_id_)||'.PDF';
file_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(pdf_path_,file_name_,'wb');
FOR rec_ IN get_blob_recs LOOP
l_blob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength (rec_.pdf);
l_pos := 1;
WHILE l_pos < l_blob_len
LOOP
DBMS_LOB.READ (rec_.pdf, l_amount, l_pos, l_buffer);
UTL_FILE.put_raw (file_handle, l_buffer, FALSE);
l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(file_handle);
end;
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
David.

I guessed there was more to a PDF file format than just amending the BLOB objects!. I think I'll have to create a function with an IN param containing the PDF file list, and invoke a Java class to merge the PDFs in the OS.
My requirement is to record the history of when a hand written form was completed. E.g. a user might complete half a document one day, and the rest of the document another day, therefore I want one PDF with two pages of the same form at different stages of completion. These forms are currently being created as two separate PDFs, and the problem is I am restricted to displaying only one PDF!
Thank you.
David.

How to combine three PDF documents into one PDF document ?

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to combine 3 PDF documents into One PDF document, let me explain clearly.
I have developed two Adobe forms in T.code SFP and I have one PDF docuement which is stored in DMS (T.code CV02n), and now I want to combine these three PDF documents into one pdf.
I have tried below link, but only 50% can able to do my requirement.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/404e4dc1-a79c-2d10-a7b5-9a266dfed9cb?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
Is there any best solution to fix this.
Best Regards,
Naresh Kumar.

Hi Lukas,
Thanks for your response on this.
Krisztian's solution will work/merge only for Adobe forms created in T.code SFP but can't merge with the pdf document which is sitting in CV02N (This doesn't have Adobe form name in T.code SFP), this is what I understood.
And one more bad news is we are not able to install that unix file in our client system, it is not compatable.
Best Regards,

How to merge pdf files into one pdf file?

In E-Rec we need the capability to mass printing for correspondance. There i want to merge pdf files for candidates into one pdf file. I am doing the following:
Data: lv_document1           TYPE rcf_s_cs_document_content.
LOOP AT activity_object_tab INTO ls_activity_object.
    lo_act_corr ?= ls_activity_object-activity.
     CALL METHOD lo_act_corr->process_document
       EXPORTING
         channel = 'FRONTEND'
       IMPORTING
         document = lv_document1.
ENDLOOP.
Now lv_document1 contains the pdf file in lv_document1-DOCUMENT_X which is of type RAWSTRING.
This works for one candidate, in this case the pdf for last candidate will be displayed.
But how would i append in the loop or what would i need to do display all candidates in one pdf.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

How do I import multiple Ai files into one Indesign File - whilst still keeping the Ai Files editable and up dateable for the one Indesign File?

Hi All,
Im relatively new to Ai and Indesign, and have been doing Uni work over Christmas, and have a rather urgent question thats stressing me out.
I originally had many art boards in my ai file, but due to the number, I split these into single files to help my computer run better.
Now I want to organise them into one document to save. From searching online Indesign can import these and save as one file, yet automatically update if the original ai file is updated. I would like to do this but just don't know how to do this correctly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im using CC Ai and indesign.
Thanks in advance
Sam

Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
Thanks for the quick reply

How do I join multiple mp3 files into one mp3 file?

Hello,
I have multiple mp3 files that I would like to join into one mp3 file and to use it as an audio book. This explains how to do it, but in iTunes 12, I do not see an option called "Part of a Compilation" option.
Is there a way to do it in iTunes without installing a new app?
Thank you.

Eugene,
Those instructions, if I read them correctly, are about how to collect several MP3s into a single audiobook. They will not create a single continuous MP3.
iTunes does not have the ability to combine multiple MP3s into a single MP3. The best it can do is if you burn them to audio CD and then rip back with "Join Tracks" enabled. The better way is to use an audio editor such as Audacity, or a special purpose combing tool such as MP3 Joiner.

How do you import multiple iMovie projects into one iDVD project?

Hi.
I'm 17, and am trying to create a DVD of when the family went on a cruise. For different places/days, I've created different iMovie projects.
But, when I want to export to iDVD, it only lets me put one iMovie project into one iDVD project?
I've tried dragging the actual iMovie project files into iDVD but that doesn't work.
I know I could export to QuickTime and then drag it into iDVD, but it seems exporting just to iDVD is much quicker, and the quality is better.
Anyone know how I can do this?
cheers
+P.S. If it helps, it's iMovie '11 with iDVD '09.+

That is not true. You can use them all in one DVD. I have just created my first DVD which has a trailer, a movie with chapters and several different slide shows.
All you have to do is save each project to Media Browser. (Choose Share in toolbar). Open iDVD and choose your theme or no theme. On the right will be all your options such as audio, media photo's etc. Choose your various video's/projects etc and just drag and drop which ones you want to the page and they will automatically put themselves there with the given name of each video/project.
