How to collate same pages across multiple PDF files

I have multiple reports in PDF that have specific employee data on each page. The employee page order is the same across each PDF (Employee #75 is on page 43 in each file). I would like to combine the first page from each file together, the second, and so on. That way I can provide this data to each employee without them having access to other employee's data. Is there a way to do this in Acrobat Pro?

Hello try67,
thank you for your help. I try it in the SDK forum. Anyway I appreciate any hint to solve this task :-)

Searching for links across multiple pdf files

We have thousands of pdf files that are being moved to a new website. Some of these pdf files have links within them (either as text or as a hyperlink). This number is unknown.
The issue is how to programmatically search across multiple pdf files (numbering in the thousands) looking for links using a regular expression or part of a path. This will have to be able to search behind the text and search for the link url.
We first need to identify the number of files with links and create a list of the files with links that need modifying. If the number is too great to modify manually, then we would need the ability to programmatically edit these links.
The pdf files are stored in a database. Also, the pdf files are different versions and some are password protected.
Is there an Adobe product that will perform this? If not, are there any 3rd party vendor products that will accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have no solution, but a thought: the database factor may seem to be
a killer. But you could look for a solution designed to read PDF files
from a web site (by spidering or from a list), which would presumably
load them.
Or could do a one off extraction of the files from the database into a
directory and use that for your process. Probably a very good idea,
since extracting all files from the database is likely to be costly
and hammer the server (but can be scheduled at a sensible pace), while
the search process will (if it is possible at all) doubtless need to
be run countless times.

How can I delete pages from a pdf file

How can I delete pages from a pdf file

Hi timk,
None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.
Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)
If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.
Please let us know how it goes!
Best,
Sara

How do I insert a page into multiple .PDF files?

Hi everyone, I have several hundred PDF files every month, and I need to insert a page at the end of each document.
The files and insert are in PDF format. What is the easiest way to do this?
I am using Acrocrbat 10.
Thank You

If you have Acrobat X Pro, and the PDFs aren't secured, it's easy to do it with an Action.
File > Action Wizard > Create New Action
Set "Start with" to "Ask" so you can choose a folder each month
From the panels on the left, choose Pages > Insert Pages
Click the Options icon, choose the file containing the page you want to insert, then set it to After / Last Page
Set the Save To options to suit what you want.
Now you can run the Action against an entire folder of PDFs.

How can I print only the first page of multiple PDF files at once in my PC?

That is, without having to open each file individually.
Thanks!

Create an Action with the following JS command:
this.print({bUI: false, nStart: 0});
This will cause the first page of all the files you process with this Action to be sent to your default printer.
If you need to specify more complex parameters, you'll need to use a more complex code...

How do I add pages to a pdf file?

I am new to iMac.
I am used to using Adobe Acrobat for Windows to create pdf files. In Acrobat, when you scan a page, you have the option to add the page to an existing pdf file.
I know how to use the Scan feature on Print & Fax to create pdf files on the iMac.
I can not figure out how to make a pdf more than one page (unless I use the document feeder to scan in a multiple pages at once.) When I use the flat bed scanner, I can not figure out how to scan another page into the same file.
I also can not figure out how to add another page to an existing pdf file.
It does not appear Adobe Acrobat is available for the Mac, just Adobe reader. If it was, I would just buy that.
Does anyone know how to do these two things, or a program that can?
Thanks,
-Lee

You mean it didn't take over your printing system and force you to use it?
It didn't break print to PDF functionality?
It didn't install a bunch of software you didn't want and then promptly abandon half of it?
It doesn't report an error if you try to remove the software that Adobe disabled 4 minutes after you bought it?
It doesn't continually ask you to register your software and continue to ask no matter how many times you register?
It doesn't continually tell you there are Adobe RAW updates that you need to install, even though you don't use that and don't want it, and tell it to ignore.
It doesn't report an error when you give up and tell it to install the Adobe RAW update?
Acrobat contains features that are useful and very much needed in a desktop publishing environment.
As do many other competing programs. Apple Preview can generate perfectly good PDFs and is more than adequate for the vast majority of users. PDFClerk can do things Acrobat could never dream of.
I have no experience of Acrobat Reader on the Mac so I can't comment on that.
I do, so I will comment. It is slow, bloated, and very poorly written software. It must be updated weekly due to cross-platform security flaws that are actively being exploited. Even if you do install it to use some Adobe-only feature, you may wind up having to run Acrobat in Windows because the Mac version's output is so bad.
All of the items I've listed here are just my personal experience. If you want more, just use the Apple Discussions search feature. Unfortunately, I haven't found an adequate replacement for Photoshop, so I still have that installed. Preview, however, is much better than Adobe Reader.

How to save selected pages of a PDF file in Adobe 11.0.07

How to Reorient One Page in a PDF File?

Hi, I have a multi-page PDF file created with Epson Scan on an Epson Stylus Photo RX500 and saved in Adobe Reader 9.4.6. There was a way to reorient the pages after scanning and before saving to PDF but they were just little thumbnails and I didn't see till after saving that the first page was upside-down. Now whenever I try to flip just the first page, they all turn! Is there a way I can get just the first page the other way round and leave all the others without rescanning the whole thing? Thanks!

Thanks. I did the scans quickly expecting to be able to edit them as with Jpegs. I guess this means I won't be able to crop off the black borders around the pages either, so I think I'll just rescan the whole document with white paper behind the pages to make cleaner borders.

How do I change page margins on pdf file on acrobat?

Hi there
Could someone please help me. I need to change the page margins on a pdf file using adobe acrobat. The page size is 7" by 10" which I have been able to change. I need to change the page margins to:
Left - .75"
Right - .25"
Top - .25"
Bottom - .25"
I know it is probably something really simple but I just can't figure it out.
Thank you for your help
Kate

Not simple at all. Actually, Acrobat isn't built to do this type of thing. You would want to make those changes in the original document and create a new PDF.
The main problem here is that Acrobat will not reflow the text as the margins grow.

Find and Replace across multiple PDF files

Hello,
The company I work for has recently changed it's name from (for example!) "Rob's Company" to "Dave's Company".
I have a folder with several thousand PDF files where "Rob's Company" is mentioned and I want to find/replace this for "Dave's Company" in one job (as opposed to opening each file and doing a find/replace in each one).
I am happy to purchase a copy of Adobe Acrobat in order to do this, but I'm unsure if it is capable of doing so. I know it is possible to do this for individual files, but not sure that it can do a find/replace for all files in a particular folder.
I hope someone is able to assist me, I'd be very grateful.
Best wishes,
Rob

I totally agree with you regarding keeping the source files; it's common sense isn't it! I've only worked at this company for 14 days and the vast majority of docs are years old so it would be nearly impossible to trace back the owner of the document internally and then for who their contact is at the client who originally sent it over. With staff turnover you'd probably get nowhere pretty slowly!
Thanks very much for your redact suggestion. Is that basically where you "stick" new text over the old? The phrases to be changed are reasonably simalar in length (new text is 1 character smaller) so if there was a small gap at the end of the phrase I wouldn't loose sleep over it.
Thanks again for your help - as I say with just 14 days in the company it would be nice to get this job done without involving too many people so it looks good to my new bosses!

How to share Global Page across multiple applications

Hi,
I have APEX 4.2 via pl/sql gateway, Oracle 11gr2 DB and using theme 24.
I have about 40 applications in 1 workspace and I need to create a global page that is going to be the same for each app. One way of doing this is I can manually do the change 40 times but I'm looking for an easier way.
If you look at the packaged app "Dynamic Sample" you would notice a left sidebar which acts like a menu. Basically I want to do the same but just image each item on the sidebar belongs to a separate application.
I have app1 which has the login and left sidebar navigation. Each option on the sidebar list would call a page on app2 to app40 but I need to retain the sidebar when displaying the page from a different app.
If I tried to imp a global page I get an error that the application ID is different.
If I tried to copy the global page to another app it changes the type to a navigation form which prevents the list from coming up for every page on the app.
Thanks in advance!

If not can you create a new application without a login, put the "global" page there, and link to it from the other applications? Is there another way to put a generic page somewhere you can get to it outside Apex?

How do i extract pages from a pdf file folder on my computer system?

This whole set-up is starting to piss me off. I have spent all morning downloading this FREE trial and it has not done anything it purports to do.

Extracting the first page of multiple PDFs & saving them as jpegs.

Dear all,
First post - hope its in the right place.
I work in Publishing, and I have been given the following task - I have about 400 ebooks, all in pdf format, and my task is to extract the cover from every one of them (which is the first page of every pdf) and export them all as separate jpeg files (file names can remain exactly the same - ie, the name of the pdf book will be the same as the jpeg file). So I will end up with 400 ebooks and 400 jpegs of their covers.
Anyone have any idea how to do this ?
i have Windows and acrobat 8
I have looked at batch processing in acrobat, but the option to extract the first page of multiple pdf files is not one of the options. there is an option to create your own script which im guessing is my best bet ? (hence why i have posted my question here) Though I don't have the first clue about this. Have done some google searches, and some people have created similar things, but I cant seem to get them to work.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rich

ok, i have found a set of acrobat batch sequence and come across the following :
Batch sequence name: Extract Pages to Folder.sequ. Task: For each file from the selected files, extract each of its pages and save the extracted pages to a particular folder.
Example 2.10 Insert navigation icons
/* Extract Pages to Folder */
// A regular expression to acquire the base name of the file.
var re = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var filename = this.path.replace(re,"");
try
for ( var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++ )
this.extractPages
nStart: i,
cPath: "/C/temp/myDocs/"+filename+"_"+i+".pdf" // change this });
catch (e)
console.println("Batch Aborted: " + e )
looks like i need something like this, but tried the above earlier, and couldnt get it to work (prob cause I didnt replace the words exactly correctly). I am guessing that i am entering this in the correct place though (ie - create new sequence, and got into the script editor box)
