How to create multi page PDF in illustrator CC?

Hello, can anyone help with this, used to be able to do it easily in CS but doesnt seem to be available when saving a PDF file in CC?..... really frustrating!

Hi Monika,
When I open my old tiled illustrator file in CC, it asks if I want to open a legacy art board. I do this.
This then displays on screen correctly as the individually paged tiles.
This is all fine. However when I then want to save as PDF there is no option to save this PDF as a multipage document.
The saved PDF file just comes out as one long single drawing board page and isn’t split into individual pages when read back in by Acrobat

Creating multi-page PDF from Page Tiles

Trying to save out a page-tiled Illustrator document to multi page PDF. The "Create Multi-Page PDF from Page Tiles" is ghosted/disabled when I save out as PDF; and printing to PDF doesn't size page edges properly. I've followed all directions and re-created new docs to see if I can get this to work, no luck.
Is there a trick I'm missing? Using Illustrator CS3 13.0.2 Mac, Acrobat 8.1.3. Thanks!

This would be hard to answer but you must be missing something the question is what are you doing and how is the document set up and then the really important question what are doing wrong. Which I know you want us to tell you but without knowing what that is we cannot tell you what not to do.
If there is something you can tell that might give us a clue perhaps we can help.

Unable to mark the box 'create Multi-page PDF from page tiles' when saving to pdf-file

I am running Illustrator CS3 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
I want to print a very large illustrator-file (1000 mm x 900 mm) across mutliple pages of A4-paper (5 x 5 sheets of A4-paper) by saving the file as a multi-page pdf file.
I first followed the instructions provided here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-mutli-page-pdf-illustrator.html
When I then tried to save the file: -> File -> Save as -> 'choose .pdf from drop-down menu'
I get to this menu:
I am unable to mark the box that says: 'Create multi-page pdf from page tiles'. I have made a red arrow pointing to the box I want to mark.
I have tried changing the other drop-down menus inside this menu, to see if the box I want to mark could become available, but without any luck.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I would be grateful if anyone could help me set my settings right to allow me to create such a multi-page pdf-file.
Thanks in advance for your help

Your ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned.

Creating multi page PDF's

I know I posted this before, yet I cannot believe that I cannot somehow create Multi-Page PDF's for mailing. I'm a student working on many papers, I write in Pages (Hate Word) export to PDF and mail them separately. It is so unprofessional, I need to organize the PDF's into one document. Does anyone know a download for this? Thanks in advance.

Creating Multi-Page PDF from a Layerd Illustrator file (script)

Often times when designing a logo I create different versions and variable options on layers. This can result in several layers in one Illustrator file. Is there an easy way or an existing script that will allow me to (with one click) create a multi-page PDF consisting of all the layers within my .ai file? The current method is turning on each layer, performing a save-as (PDF), then turning off said layer and turning on the next layer and repeating the task and so-on-and-so-forth, etc … It becomes tedious and quite often I save over the previous version, forgetting to re-name it or forget to perform a save on a certain layer. Can anyone help with some advice? I have never written my own script before but am not opposed to trying, where do I begin?
Any help is appreciated.

You don't say what OS you are using and which scripting language you are thinking of doing this in…
This is a sample that may get you started done in JavaScript so it's platform independent with the exception of my 'mac style' file paths.
If your on a PC it may just be a typo to set to C drive or whatever you call them things…
If you are on the mac OS then it should just dump a load of PDF's on your desktop.
You say about a multi-page PDF but don't think Illustrator can do this unless its been added with multi-artboards in CS4?
Others would have to let you know that…
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
var docName = baseName(name)
var pdfOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
pdfOptions.pDFPreset = '[High Quality Print]';
// Turn all layers off
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
layers[i].visible = false;
// Turn each layer on
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
if (i == 0) {
layers[i].visible = true;
redraw();
var layerName = layers[i].name;
var saveAsPath = new File('~/Desktop/' + docName + '_' + layerName + '.pdf')
saveAs(saveAsPath, pdfOptions);
} else {
layers[i-1].visible = false;
layers[i].visible = true;
redraw();
var layerName = layers[i].name;
var saveAsPath = new File('~/Desktop/' + docName + '_' + layerName + '.pdf')
saveAs(saveAsPath, pdfOptions);
//close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
function baseName(fileName) {
var nameString = '';
var extOffset = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
if (extOffset == -1) {
nameString = fileName;
} else {
nameString = fileName.substr(0, extOffset);
return nameString;

How to make multi-page PDFs?

A question on this in the Archives did not answer my problem. Until recently, I could easily make multipage PDFs from Pages on my iMac (10.8.4). Now suddenly it only makes a PDF of the first page of multi-page files. Cannot find anyplace to change that back. HOW do I make multi-page PDFs again?

Check this portion of your code.
if(rs.next())
response.sendRedirect("02_dashboard_welcome.jsp");
else
out.println("Wrong username or password");Once the user is authenticated(valid username and password found), he is always redirected to a particular page no matter what kind of user he is. You need to add some if-conditional and redirect him to different pages based on his role.
i have stored their login and password in different tablesI don't understand the need to create different tables for each kind of users. Rather i would do something like this.(Rough Schema)
USER_ROLE(table)
1. USER_ROLE_ID (Eg: 1:salesperson, 2:employees etc)
2. DESC (Eg: salesperson, employees)
USER TABLE
1. USER_ID
2. USER_NAME (Eg: AAA)
3. PASSWORD (Eg: BBB)
4. USER_ROLE_ID<Foreign Key, 1 if user is sales person, 2 if user is an employee etc>
Please note that you will have to create a third table to assign role to an user if an user can have more than
one role ie he can be salesperson and employees at the same time.
Now use USER_ROLE_ID to redirect the user to different pages.
Note: This is just an example(may be a worst one). please design your database and business logic as per your requirements.

Create multi page pdf

Hi, what are the step by step instructions for creating a multi-page pdf made from jpegs using bridge ? I can't find the insructions.
Thanks !

You can find everything you want to know if you look at the Adobe Bridge
Help under the Help Menu and use PDF as search criteria.
For a contact sheet in PDF you can use the Adobe Output Module (either
choose workspace Output Module or use the right icon in the top left row in
Bridge Window.
Select the files you want and fill in the details for row and columns to
your own wishes, quality etc. There will be as many pages created as needed
with the selected files.

How to create multiple page pdf file

Hello,
Sometimes I need to create multiple (more precisely double) page pdf file from another pdf file to reduce the printing cost of the document. For this I crop the single page document and then print it in a double page pdf file (in landscape).
But I am still facing a problem in this regard. When I make a double page pdf the gutter (distance between two pages, left and right) is more than 1.5 inch. This is a great problem. Can anyone tell me how to reduce the gutter when making a double page pdf file (don't just suggest to crop the single page pdf, i tried this as well, I cropped using the feature "remove white margin" but still there is more than 1.5 inch between two pages)
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
mathmad

When you print, select the printer properties for the Adobe PDF printer. On the layout tab is an option for the number of pages per sheet. In some versions it is listed as multi-up as I recall. I did not say to simply print from the 2-up display. It is a printer option, not a display option.

Opening Multi-page PDFs in Illustrator CS2

A client sent me a 32 page pdf that was originally created from a giant Illustrator file. (He doesn't have the original Illustrator file). I want to rebuild it using InDesign, and I need to save elements from each page to use in my new layout.
So am I correct that in order to do this, I have to open the pdf in Illustrator, choose page 1 from the dialog, save it out as an Illustrator file. Then open the pdf again, choose page 2, save it out. And so on, up to page 32? In other words, I need to open the pdf 32 times to get at each page? I can't seem to find anything in my books addressing this. And there is no option for opening it as a multi-page Illustrator document (with page tiling).
Thanks for any ideas!

Do you have a copy of Acrobat 7 or 8 (Pro, not Reader)? If so, open the PDF in Acrobat and from the Document menu select Extract pages making sure you have checked the box that says Extract Pages as Separate Files.

Create multi-page PDF with photoshop CS3

Hi,
I have created 8 A4-sized PSD documents in Photoshop CS3 and I would like to create a single PDF document with 8 pages.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I would really appreciate any help that people can offer, as I am stumped!
Thank you in advance,

FILE> Automate PDF presentation
add open files or point it to your folder of files
after you hit save will be a dialog box to choose options
make sure to make the proper selections for quality, based on your purpose
a PDF made for commercial printing will be large
If you want to put it on internet or email you need to select the setttings
for web based doc
OR you could open acrobat and create a multipage document
I think the default is 8.5x11
(not sure) but if you have unusual size paper
make sure to change the page layout to that

Create Multi-page PDF option is missing

Acrobat 8 professional. Strange.......One of the machines in our studio is missing this option....any ideas????

Currently when I run the following I get a single page PDF
file populated with the information from the last record of the
query. Using <cfdocumentitem type = "pagebreak"/> makes sense
but I'm not sure where it would go relative to the code below. I
also will need a <cfdocument> tag if using
<cfdocumentitem> and again I'm not sure where which tag
should sit inside which.
<cfquery name="getEmpInfo" datasource="fai">
select firstname, lastname
from employee
</cfquery>
<cfpdfform action="POPULATE"
destination="E:\www\output.pdf" source="E:\www\form.pdf"

<cfloop query="getEmpInfo">
<cfpdfsubform name="form1">

How to create multiple page PDF from multiple jpg images?

I have three jpeg images with pixel dimensions 1008 x 1464. I wish to create a PDF file with one image per page. Apparently Preview previously performed this function, and this functionality was deliberately removed by the time of Mac OS X 10.6.
I use Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have combined the images via Gimp into one jpeg image of size 1008 x 4392, but it would be better if I could create a PDF file. I have been unable to figure out how to do this via GraphicConverter, which trial version constantly displays the 30 second "buy me" window before loading -- annoying: I once accidentally opened it, and it would not let me close the application until the "buy me" window finished...
I have been able to create a PDF file through the action of "printing" (cf. https://discussions.apple.com/message/12395021#12395021), but that reduces the image size and creates a white margin around the images (as if printing on a sheet of paper), which I wish to avoid.
Thank you for your time and help!
Message was edited by: ethereality -- added another "workaround" attempt

I drag and dropped from Finder into TextEdit, and it only copied the file path as text. From what software would I drag the images into TextEdit?
First, set the TextEdit document to Rich Text Format - you can do that via the Format menu in TextEdit. This will allow the inclusion of pictures.
Then you can either -
• Drag an image file into the TextEdit window, and a preview-sized image will be inserted. If this is too small for your purposes -
• Open the image file in Preview (or an image editor, if you choose), size the image to your liking, press Command-A (Select All) and the press Command-C (Copy) - doing this will place a copy of the image on the Clipboard. Then switch focus to the TextEdit document and press Command-V (Paste). This will place a large-size image of the file.

Create multi-page PDF from multi-layer AI file

This is an old question, I'm sure...
I have an .ai file with 33 layers. Each layer represents an individual page of a manual. I have CS4 ... Is there a way of quickly exporting or saving the document where it creates a PDF page from each layer? Or do I have to go through and individually save each layer as a PDF and then combine them? I'm not savvy with coding, so that route probably won't work without serious hand holding (Windows XP, just in case).
Thanks in advance,
Zack

I don't have 9 yet. But you can try to fix permissions. If that doesn't
work you can try to work as another user. If it works now you have a
preference file problem. However, there is a remote chance that the
issue is a incomparability between Acrobat and the twain driver.

How can you create a multi-page pdf document in photoshop elements 13?

I previously had pse 11 and was able to create multi-page documents as pse files. However, pse 13 does not allow. How can I create multi-page pdf files from pse 13?

Alas, for one of those mysterious adobe reasons, it's gone in recent versions. Only multipage file you can make is a photobook.
