How to automate extraction of chapters then saving them with comments enabled

Hi,
I have a lot of PDF documents that need there chapters extracted into separate PDF documents. At the moment I am having to find the beginning of a chapter (Page begins at 1 for every chapter) then find the end of that chapter and highlight that page. Then to extract it I using Alt + D + X, then save the new document by pressing Alt + C + F. I then close it using Ctrl + W and look for the next chapter.
I was just wondering if it was possible to automate this process at all?
Any ideas of suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Graeme. It might be possible, but it depends on how the chapters are defined. If, for example, they can be defined using the bookmarks or a special piece of text that appears in the begining of each chapter, then the answer is Yes, it can be automated.

  • I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

    I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
    The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
    I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
    I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
    After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs.  The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
    Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue?  I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
    Thanks.

    I had the same problem.
    Got a 90% fix.  Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
    Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
    1.  Quit Image Capture
    2.  Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
    3.  Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
    4.  Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
    5.  Quit and restart "Image Capture".   Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder.  It insists on saving to "Pictures".
    That's as far as I was successful.  I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
    This is what I tried:
    6.  Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
    7.  Quit "Image Capture".  Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
    8.  Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
    9.  Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer.  I like "~/Desktop"
    10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter.  Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
    11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
    I consider this a bug.

  • I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

    I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week.  Help!  Thanks.

    Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.

  • HT201317 If I don't want to use photo stream, can I still upload a bunch of photos to iCloud and then share them with people who do not have iCloud?

    If I don't want to use photo stream, can I still upload a bunch of photos to iCloud and then share them with people who do not have iCloud?

    iCloud provides a simple gallery in the form of 'Photo Journal' - uploading of photos from iPhoto to web pages hosted on iCloud, but only from iOS devices; and the photos are compressed to a size adequate for online viewing but are not available in full resolution as with the old MobileMe Gallery. Apple have provided a sample album here.
    There are various other photo gallery services which you may find preferable: some of them are examined here -

  • How to automate extracting pages

    Hi,
    Is there a way to automate extracting pages in Acrobat 8? For example, if I wanted every page of a large document to be its own pdf with the filename as the page number. Extracting them manually is getting to be a pain when I'm working with 100 page long documents. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Zach

    You can set up a batch sequence. If you happen to have the Acrobat 5 CD, it should be on there. Otherwise, such a sequence is discussed here: http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=Intro+to+Acrobat+5+Batch+Process ing+&gid=6518

  • Saving a PDF in Acrobat 9 with comments enabled for viewer

    Hi,
    Is there a quicker way to enable comments for Reader than actually having to choose to do so? I have maybe 30-40 files saved as a PDF but they do not have comments enabled so I have to open each one and click on enable comments for Reader. That takes a lot of time and sometime you can make a mistake.
    Any work around? A macro?
    Thanks!

    Ha ha ha.
    I saw that and, of course, my company would never get into this but I wanted to thank you for your response.

  • How to automatically name files which are saved using " Write to spreadsheet" individually?

    I'm making a program which will save image data (i.e pixel intensity) and the save the data to a text file. Works great but I need it to automatically name each textfile as I will be taking n number of image date in a certain amount of time and don't want to waste time writing each file name.
    Any tips would be hugely appreciated,
    Shack

    Hi Shack,
    you need to create your filename programmatically. As they are just strings you should use string functions to do so!
    Then use "Append Path" to create a full filepath wired to your file function…

  • Automatic: opening files in CS3, saving them, and exiting

    Dear Adobe CS3 gurus, is the following task achievable for Adobe CS3?
    Task is: I want to open Adobe CS3 app from windows command prompt (use start xxx etc); then, I want Adobe CS3 app to look into a specific folder, open all files in there, save them back (in the same folder), and exit.
    Is the above task possible to do in Windows? If yes, how to do it?
    TIA,
    aab-aab

    But in order to use File/Automate/Batch it is necessary to have Photoshop open. And the original question was asking if it is possible to have Photoshop itself open, then process, then exit.
    I cannot give you a lot of details on this, because I have never done it. But it is possible to create an action that does all of your processing and then save that action as a "droplet" which is an executable. Then, all that is required is for you to drop files onto the droplet icon and Photoshop will open, process and close. I don't know the syntax to get Photoshop to do what you want done from the command prompt.

  • I have advised my icloud mail to NOT SAVE my sent messages.  However, it continues to SAVE ALL SENT MESSAGES.  How do I get it to stop saving them?

    I want icloud to stop saving my SENT messages in my SENT folder.  I have NOT checked the SENT folder - but it continues to save the sent messages.  Alas, how to stop it?

    The iTunes sync process does not include email account mailboxes and messages.
    If the account is a POP account, all received messages tha remain on the server will be downloaded as new and unread messages. Messages in the account's Sent and Trash mailboxes will not be available since these mailboxes are not stored on the server with a POP account.
    If the account is an IMAP account and you were storing the account's Sent and Deleted mailboxes on the server with the account settings on your iPhone, messages in all server stored mailboxes will be available again but must be re-downloaded which will occur when a server stored mailbox is selected.
    Not sure why the apps in your iTunes library that were not selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and were not on your iPhone were selected and transferred, but the apps can be removed by deselecting the apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

  • How can I work offline and then re-synch with version control in SharePoint?

    I am using RoboHelp 11 with SharePoint 2010 for version control. How can I work off-line and then re-synch my files with SharePoint when reconnected?
    If I allow the connection to SharePoint to remain while working remotely through VPN, I am constantly annoyed by notices that "the underlying connection is lost."
    Thanks!
    Carol

    Until/unless a solution is available here's my proposed work-around:
    1.Check in all files from my primary project to SharePoint. (I have only one project.)
    2. Duplicate the project that is linked to SharePoint. Name it "Off-Line Project" so that I am always aware of the project I'm working on. Don't link Off-Line Project to source control/SharePoint.
    3. Before working off-line, import or overlay the latest version of all content (html) files from the SharePoint-linked project into Off-Line Project.
    4. Work off-line using only Off-Line Project.
    5. Returning to the office, get the latest version of all files from SharePoint. (eventually, I won't be the only person working on the project) import (or maybe just overlay using Windows Explorer?) the files I've worked on from Off-Line Project to the primary project.
    Feedback? Suggestions?

  • How do I access files that I put in iCloud Drive on my iMac and MacBook Pro, and then access them with ANY iOS device?

    For example, I put some .pdf documents into iCloud Drive. Now I need those files but I'm not home any more----I have an iPhone and iPad at my disposal. They are ALL signed into the same iCloud account and they are all on the same WiFi network. Those .pdf documents that I so easily dropped into iCloud Drive earlier appear to be non-existant on my iOS devices. I do see my "Pages" memos here in iCloud, but the other things I have put in, I can't find. The ONLY way so far that I have been able to locate them is to go back to my iMac or MBP and use a Finder window and i have direct access to iCloud Drive there. Are they purposely not allowing us to pick up all files on all devices? Or am I missing something? Thanks.

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

  • Merging PDFs and then saving them as one file in Leopard

    Would someone please tell me how I can merge PDF files into one PDF file. I have been able to drag and drop them together in Preview. I would love to be able to save the merged files into one file. Any ideas. I have read a lot online about this possibility in Snow Leopard, but I can't seem to save the dang file.
    Help.

    Open the first PDF. Open the tray so you can see the file on the left. Drag the other PDFs onto the first file in the tray. You can't just drag into the tray window anymore, you have to drag onto the file itself to merge. Save the file with new name.
    Macmost has a good podcast on this subject that came out about a week ago. Shows other PDF tricks with Preview as well.

  • How do you rip cd and then put them on your ipod?

    Hello...
    Ummmm.hmhmhmh... I have a question, My friend burnt me a cd and I am trying to get the songs from the cd onto my ipod nano but am having some trouble. When you click up the itunes icon and then i put the cd in the (:C) drive it won't show up above where it says Amy's ipod and the ipod icon. I am trying to rip the cd but when i put the cd in the drive and have Windows Media Player up and go to the "Rip" part no songs will show up. I need some help...
    Please help me if you know anything... THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

    I'm assuming that you're saying TV Shows that you add to your library from an external source aren't showing up in the TV Shows section on your iPod. If so, this is because, well, it's just the way it is. Only TV Shows purchased directly through the iTMS (that are listed as a TV Show by default) will show up under the TV Shows category on your iPod.
    If you'd like Apple to change this, send them feedback.
