How to replace pages in multiple PDF kits at once

Here is what I have:
Multiple documents I have merged into a single PDF. I'll call these a kit. I have about 200 kits. Each kit holds some documents that are unique to it and other documents which are universal to every kit.
Here is what I do:
When a document that is universal to each kit is updated or changed in any way I have been going into each and every kit, deleting the page(s) that document was associated with and inserting the updated document.
Here is what I want to do:
Have a script or a program or anything that will simplify this process. Is there any way to tell the batch of PDF kits to delete a section and replace it with a new document all at once?
Any feedback is appreciated!

It's probably possible, depending very much on the way you set up you "kits" and if it's possible to identify the pages you want to replace based on page number, content, or something similar.
Also, you will need to have a version of Acrobat that has batch proccessing capabilities (typically the Pro versions).
I can probably create such a script for you. Contact me by email or PM for more info.

How to print pages from multiple pdfs

Friends,
I have two pdfs.
I need to print not all, but certain pages from both pdfs. How to achieve this.
Regards,
John.

Options:
1) create a new form, copy all the pages from your source pdfs into this one, use scripting to control the page appearance

2) use the workaround to concatenate multiple forms and try to use the same approach to remove pages you don´t like
There are no other options.

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 can I error-check multiple pdf files at once?

There are programs online but they're too costly. Isn't there sometime Adobe has built-in where I can hilight an entire list of pdf files and check for errors to see if one of them is giving a font-issue error or etc.
I'm using Windows 7 and we have different versions of Adobe installed in our office, so if I know which version has what I want that'll help, too.
Thanks.

GKaiseril is correct ... Acrobat X Pro you create an action to Start With "A Folder on My Computer" (if there are multiple files in the folder you can set options to ignore them). Then add the step "Accessibility Check (Full)" and "Full Check" to that action.
You can

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)

Scanning multiple pages to multiple pdf on HP Laserjet M3035

We have a Laserjet M3035 MFP installed as network printer.
We can scan multiple pages in to a single PDF to a folder on the server.
We would like to scan multiple pages to multiple PDF to a folder on the server.
e.g. one page to one pdf with the ADF 40 pages in one go. Is it possible and how do we do it.
Thanks for the possible solutions
Dany

Using Replace Pages in accessible PDF's

Hi - Brand new to this forum. Hoping someone can help... I have an existing tagged and accessible PDF - needed content update, so did that in Word, created a new tagged and accessible PDF, and used Replace pages to insert the new pages into the existing PDF. Acrobat Help says when you replace pages in a PDF, Acrobat adds the tags from the incoming pages to the end of the tag tree... and keeps the tags for the replaced pages. That didn't happen - the tags from the incoming pages are not there and, in fact, the tags that were in the existing PDF are not there anymore either - now it just says "Warning, empty page". Any ideas?

Hi kvd,
I guess my nomenclature may be presumptive. All I should have said is that the most appropriate method I have discovered for retaining tagging and all other accessibility functionality has been the Combine command. Replace Pages sometimes works and most of the time (lately) is doesn’t. My experience with Insert Pages has not been consistently successful either.
What you mean by a workflow I don’t fully understand. Do you mean an automated action? Unless you consistently use the same page numbers in every document, I don't know how you could automate it. Also, I have not been able to find specific process treatment about combining tagged PDFs. This has been a result of testing and experimentation.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

How to delete pages in a pdf file with mac OSX Mavericks?

Indeed i don't have Pages options in my tools window... Is that normal for the mac version? Please it's urgent...

Sorry, it was my fault. When I searched on the Internet, I was reading the Acrobat help pages, without knowing it, because in my research I wrote "how to delete pages in a pdf file with Adobe reader", i was just automatically redirected toward Acrobat help but i didn't notice.
So no incorrect information exist in the Reader Help pages.

Replacing pages in accessible PDF's

Hi - Brand new to this forum. Hoping someone can help...

Hi Bill@VT,
Thanks for your response. Presently, I have AA Pro XI and Word 2007. I am confused - it seems the Adobe help material is saying different things - my pages say the new tags will come with the new pages, and your pages say not?
I am suspecting some of the problem may be coming from the fact that these documents have been created over many years using various versions of Word and Adobe Acrobat - since I got Pro XI, some pdf's that used to work OK for our people using screen reader technology suddenly don't read correctly anymore. I need to repair anything not working, and I need to create a new workflow process for myself to create accessible Word documents from the start. I'm thinking it may be cleaner to just start over and create all brand new Word documents with accessibility, maybe in Word 2010 or 2013, and then run them through Adobe Acrobat "Make Accessible" function and checker.

How to get Page Count of pdf in Document library in EventHandler

Hi,
How to get Page Count of pdf in Document library once uploaded has been done and i would like to update the page count value in document library column of the corresponding file.
I should achieve it in Event handler.
Which even should i use, either ItemAdded or "ItemUpdated "?
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran.

Hello,
If you are looking for file download or view count then event handler will not work. You need to enable the analytic report to your site. Once you enable it then you can see the report within a browser or you can also create custom webpart to show count
of specific file.

Replace pages in a PDF with acrobat

Please help me find a solution for my problem, i believe there are many good Applescript gurus here, i´m not one of them!:)
Basic needs:
i have a pdf coming from a text and picture system and i want it to merge to a templet with buttons and functionality.
same amount of pages to replace every time.
If i do this in Acrobat 8 i just open my template, i go to Document->Replace Pages, selected replace from 1-24 and execute.
Is this possible in applescript? i can se the argument in the Acrobat Library, but i don´t know how!
Please post a solution if you can.
Best regards
Inge

Hello Inge Eidem,
If I'm not much mistaken about your intention, the following script may help.
A few things.
• I'm not sure but you seem to be deleting the template 'ipdfmal.pdf' every time the folder action is triggered and I presume that it's probably not your intention, so I modified the code a bit. (It would now delete the finished source files, that are dropped files in the folder where the folder action is attached, when you enable the corresponding lines which I currently commented out)
• The tempalte file is to be found at templateFdPath and the finished files are to be saved in finishedFdPath.
• The script is NOT tested, for I don't have Acrobat Professional v8.
• You can find some essential documents at Adobe's site:
(See p.161 of 'Interapplication Communication API Reference' for 'save' command syntax and example)
* Acrobat Developer Center : Interapplication communication
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/interapplication.html
