HT4075 there is no way to save a PDF in preview anymore

What happened to this software?????????
I used to be able to drag pdf pages from one file to another and then save the PDF with multiple pages. This feature has apparently been removed since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Preview and other preloaded software is the ONLY reason that I use Mac and not PC machines. If Preview is not restored to its previous level of functionality, I will be going back to PC's and I suggest that everyone else do the same. The changes made to OSX since Mountain Lion have been so bad and so poorly thought out. I cant even operate this machine any more, things like the "app store" are so offensive by their very nature that it angers me to even look at a Mac anymore.
I digress... right now I just need to know how to save a file and I hope someone reads this and wonders why they are so bad at creating software that someone would even have to ask this question........

Nothing comes up in my help that addresses the issue.

It should have.
You could have just said, "**** you", it would have been a little bit more intellegent of a response.
Not very nice to font to someone who was trying to help you out. You originally posted in the wrong forum - Snow Leopard. Your post was moved by a HOST to the proper forum - Mountain Lion.

Is There an Easier Way to Save a PDF for Perfect Binding?

I've always had this problem whenever I do a booklet or magazine that will end up perfect bound: I have my document setup in CS6 with "facing pages" so I can easily design spreads with images and backgrounds that span both pages. Usually, when it prints, it's saddle stitched, so I don't mind if the inside edge has contents from the other page since they will print next to each other anyway. When I've done perfect bound booklets in the past, I've always unchecked "facing pages" and manually duplicated and moved the image that span the entire spread to cover both pages. However, I'm currently working on a 48-page magazine and I really don't feel like doing this... specifically for fear of missing something and overlooking it so that it prints wrong.
Here are some examples:
This first one obviously has one background image that spans both pages of the spread
However, when I try to separate the pages. My same right-hand page now has no background. A good majority of the magazine is laid out this way.
Similarly, this spread with 2 full-page ads have no bleed on the inside margin for proofing purposes. If it were saddle stitched, I wouldn't give a second thought I'd just let the auto bleed pull image from the other ad. Who cares? They're going to be right next to each other anyway. But, since we're going the perfect-bound route, I need for each ad to have full bleed on all 4 sides. Is it just my neuroticism? The inside edge will be glued amongst 47 other pages. Will anyone ever notice that sliver of white, black, and red from the Sarge ad nestled in the spine when they're viewing the Sunrise Detox ad is the cutting is off?
I know you can do the "shuffle pages" thing to help with the ads, but I'm just hoping there's an easier way; a checkbox... something! C'mon, Adobe! You're #1 in the design industry and it's so difficult to work around the facing-pages-full-bleed issue. I know I'm not very advanced with my InDesign experience. But if after several years, many booklets, a few magazines, and a couple version upgrades, I'd like to think I would've found an easier way to do this. You know, kinda like how your new liquid pages features. That would be tremendous if something similar could be implemented for people in printing to quickly change between design spreads, proof spreads, and printing single pages!
Thanks in advance for any help!!

If you have facing pages, you have to set up the document with facing pages that is what is it for. If you have a spreadwide design as above, keep the spreads together. There is not even one reason not to do so.
Only for wire-O-bindings might a different workflow useful, but also with facing pages documents and only when the left page and the right page have not a spread wide design:
//// I did one mistake, I created a doument with a right binding, but it would work the same way with left binding.)
1. Create a document with Facing Pages.
2. Select the Spread in the Page Panel (Window > Page Panel) and in the panel’s flyout menu deselect "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle". The spread’s page number will appear in brackets.
3. Select a single page of the spread and drag it to the side until a vertical bar appears.
4. Now you have the result.
Left and right pages have their own spread and will have a bleed around each page without taking information from the other page.

Is there an easy way to save them directly to Photoshop Elements? Or do I have to save and then import?

Well... I appreciate both of your responses. However... I believe that lvlibs cause more frustration then anything else. My team has come across issues with lvlibs and conflicting paths (when using CM tools) and have resorted to using LLBs because they offer a clean set of file dependencies. I understand that lvlibs are probably more robust, but they are not an option right now. Therefore... the question I originally asked still remains. Is there a quick and easy way to add a bunch of VIs to an LLB without having to save each one of them separately to the LLB?

Is there a way to save a PDF at a reduced percentage in an effort to reduce the trim size proportionately without cropping?

I have saved a multi-page PDF with desired trim/bleed for print, and now would like to re-save the PDF at a smaller percentage/smaller trim size for use within a digital edition online.

Hi Anubha,
Actually, I have discovered that it is possible to re-save a PDF in Preview
at a smaller trim dimension.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Best,
Pete

Is there a free way to convert a pdf file to a microsoft word file?

Is there a free way to convert a pdf file to a microsoft word file?

Adobe does not offer a free PDF to Word conversion. You may want to check out our ExportPDF service though. It's quite inexpensive: https://www.acrobat.com/exportpdf/en/pricing.html

Is there an easy way to save a form as a non-editable PDF?

Is there something like 'save as non-form PDF' in Acrobat PRO? I have a form which I want to use and then save as something that does not have editable fields, just plain PDF. Preferably some way that does not include complex stuff, because if that is the case, I'd rather just create a word processing document from which I can crank out print to PDF.
I must add: I tried "Sanitize document" but that turns the content of the pages into pixel-based images and that is not what I want.
I must also add: I do not want to trust stuff like security, locking and such
I must also add: the result must be a PDF that is usable outside of Adobe apps (non-Adobe PDF viewers)

If your base content is in a Word Doc or RTF file, you can use OpenOffice.org Write to add form fields to the document and the you can export as PDF and the created PD will contain the form fields.
With the additional of iPxd, tablets, and smart phones and viewer apps the possablity of the end user not being able to-in the form or have the form work as expected has increased.
As for Apple Preview, there is script to fix the viewable PDF. Exporting the data a to an FDF, XFDF, etc should still be possible.

Is there a simple way to save and open attachments?

When I save an attachment in mail, I have to hit save, navigate to the place to save, say OK, then to open it, I have to open a finder window, navigate (again) to the place, and open it. Because we have a very deep directory structure on our corporate drive, it takes like 20 seconds to do this every time I want to save an attachment. Isn't there an easier way to do this?
SUGGESTION TO APPLE: why not put a button on the Save dialog that says "Save and Open".

Just click on the attachment to open it, then if it's worth saving, press Save As...
In the save window, you will see a list of recent places and if your lucky, one shows up that is on the mark and you can select it directly.

Is there a way to save a PDF document in Illustrator that cannot be altered?

Any Way to Save a pdf User Manual?

I seem to recall that in previous versions of FCS apps, including Motion, you had the Help option to open (usually in Preview) a pdf User Manual. From there, via the Print dialog, you could do a "Save as PDF", into the folder of your choice.
I often like to have a searchable User Manual which I can access without having to launch the app itself. So I created a special folder into which I would save separate pdf copies of user manuals which had been incorporated into the apps themselves. But in Motion 4, all I'm seeing is an HTML Help Document, and trying to "Save as PDF" via the Print window only seems to let me save the one currently visible page, nothing more.
So -- is there still any way to create a separate, searchable User Manual for Motion (and for the other FCS3 apps), or have even pdf help documents gone the way of those two-ton paper manuals of yesteryear?
Thanks,

Yeah, the PDF functionality is lost within the FCS3 apps themselves. The Pro Apps team wanted to be able to continually update the Help files, so they were made (exclusively) web-based.
That resulted in a bit of an outcry. Thankfully, the team listened, we have to now visit the Help pages for each app (here's the one for Motion) and open/download from the View as PDF link.

Is there a free way to edit a pdf?

I have a pdf file with personal information that I need to mark out and then share as a pdf. Is there a free way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Be aware that there are many ways to cover up personal information BUT DON'T DO IT. Many people, even people like the US Government, have done it, then found the information is still there and their secrets are out.
To get rid of personal information you must use the function called "redaction". Don't do it any other way.

Simple way to create a pdf print preview in icwc

Hello gurus,
I have this customer task, to create a print preview for icwc. I checked note 1323062, but I´m working with version 5.0, so it can´t be used. I checked also note 896953, but this more to a error related. Checked also 616762, but the note is high level in details. Does not explain how to redirect the output of the processing to the icwc (step 5).
So in this way, I´d like to be advised from you folks, how to do it.
I was thinking in to use and adapt Craig's blog for this. http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1002. [original link is broken]
Is somebody else used another solution or some tip to give, please, will be very welcome.
cheers,
David

Hi Luiz,
It will be great if you can forward the paper created on pdf print preview to my profile id.
Thanks in Advance

Is there a way to save Aperture RAW edits (previews) as .tif files?

In iPhoto Preferences/Advanced, it is possible to choose to save RAW edits as .tif files. The resulting files are then stored in the Previews folder inside the iPhoto Library. In Aperture, edits of RAW files are stored in the Previews folder as .jpg files. I am aware that I can export the edited versions as .tif files outside of the Aperture Library. Is there a way to do it inside the Aperture Library, just the way iPhoto does??

Probably collecting everything on an artboard into a new layer might give you the option to use a script to save layers to files.
But this is a feature request but no as of yet has suggested a way that this might work, at least I do not think so.
