I have many pdfs that have the identical structure, but are NOT forms. How can I collect this data?

I have dozens of pdfs which have the identical structure, but are NOT forms. I would like to collect data across these pdfs to analyze. Is there a way to do this?

There are a number of ways that text can be extracted, but it may not be in the order that you'd expect or want. But if it's consistent in any case, you should be able to get at the content you're interested in. JavaScript can be used to loop through the "words" on a page, for example. I've used this approach for several projects that required data extraction.

    If you mean a PDF document and want to separate it into several parts, there is no way of doing it with just the free Reader, buy it can be done with Acrobat. If you are talking of another type of document, please post full details.

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are currently using this ID for purchases or not.  If you are being prompted for your sister-in-law's Apple ID when updating it means that there must be one or more apps on your phone that was purchased using her Apple ID.  (When she synced with your computer it may have transferred this app to your library.  It was subsequently synced to your phone.)  The only way to stop the prompt for her ID is to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

  • TS3092 my wireless apple mouse works to move the arrow but will not scroll. how can I fix this?

    my wireless mouse moves the pointer but does not scroll, how can I fix this?

    Check the setting in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > mouse options.. button > check scrolling.
    If you have an older mouse with the trackball, it might just need cleaning.  Turn the mouse over and rub the trackball vigorously on paper or microfiber cloth.

  • When I drop a page into a second document the text and numbers are misaligned. How can I stop this?

    I have a master PDF that I am coping pages into from a sub-portion PDF document.  When I drop the new page in many characters (text and numbers) are misaligned on the recently added page and some characters have just vanished.  I tried converting to PDF/A Mode for one source document and PDF/X Mode for another that seemed to fix the issue.
    I'm wondering if there is a better better way, maybe some setting I can change in order to prevent my plain old PDFs from having this character jumbling?

    You very likely have fonts embedded in the source file that are not in the new file and that scrambles things. Why not just extract the page from the old document and then do an insert to see if that does the job. Extra work, but it might help identify the problem.

  • Once I add my .swf to Dreamweaver, the buttons are not clickable, how can I fix this?

    Hello there,
    I'd just like to start out by saying that this is the first time I have posted on these forums, so if I have done anything wrong, I apologize!
    Anyway, about my question, just like the title says, once I import the .swf into Dreamweaver the buttons are not clickable, however when tested outside of Dreamweaver, they work correctly.
    Basically I have an animated banner with some audio and two buttons, the buttons mute and unmute the music.
    The file consists of two layers, one of which has 2 keyframes, the first keyframe has the Audio with the settings; "Effect: None. Sync: Start, Loop" and a button leading to the next frame.
    The next keyframe (still on layer one) has much of the same but the Audio settings are different; "Effect: None. Sync: Stop, repeat x 1" and this will stop the music.
    Now on the other layer (Rocket) I have a movie clip of a space-themed background and a rocket flying across it, the movie clip is made up of a motion tween and another movie clip which is the rocket.
    I am using Flash CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6 on a Windows 7 computer. I am also using Actionscript 2.0
    I apologize for the amount of information and I'm not very briliant at explaining things, so here are some images of the flash file, hopefully they'll help;
    Layer setup - http://i.imgur.com/iZHwfAw.jpg
    The movie clip - http://i.imgur.com/ayvPJUZ.jpg
    Keyframe one sound settings - http://i.imgur.com/LWbnQhO.jpg
    Keyframe two sound settings - http://i.imgur.com/7kS9dO2.jpg
    Actionscript for the first button/first keyframe - http://i.imgur.com/x6ROqPv.jpg   - (The second button/keyframe has the same code, but obviously the instance name and frame number has been changed)
    Again, I apologise if this all seems confusing!
    Thanks in advance for any answers to this question
    Adam.

    If you did not create this swf yourself then you won't be able to do what I am suggesting.  If you did, then open the fla in Flash and go into the Publish Settings and select the option to publish an html file as an output.  That will create an html page that embeds the Flash file.  Test that file in your browser and see if it plays properly.  IF so, then copy that code in place of whatever Dreamweaver did to embed the Flash.
    Dreamweaver is not a reliable tool for embedding Flash content... why it does not do it the same way Flash does it is anyone's guess.

  • HT204380 I am living in uae i need the face time but its not installed how can i activate it

    any one can help me how can i activate face time in uae
    <Edited By Host>

    facetime is made through a phone call on an iPhone4s, it is installed, check settings on your phone.
    iPods have a separate FaceTime application because they do not use the phone application.
    You can download FaceTime management programs for your phone for free through the App Store if youd like.
    place a call to a contact with just an email address listed (they have to have a facetime capable device) and you both have to be on wifi connections
    and as mentioned above, some places restrict certain services (like china)

  • 2 NTSC clips that shot the same scene but are not syncing

    Another newbie question. I've got something strange here. 2 standard NTSC clips about an hour long. Each, started at different times but filmed the same scene from different angles. I am trying to sync them so that I can do a multi-camera edit switching from one to the next back and forth.
    About 2 minutes into the clips, they start unsyncing! They are the same framerate, 29.97. Please help!
    With much appreciation and thanks,
    Jonathan

    I would do do some investigation of the clips using gspot or similar to see if they are what you think they are. Also, I would inspect them (on the time line) carefully to see if each clip is in sync (video/audio), then try to sort out whether they are gradually going more and more out of sync, or whether it happens at one or more points.

  • After Downloading and Installing any version of Camera Raw after 8.3 the installation completes but 8.3 remains, how can I resolve this?

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium, with Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6.. I previously had this same problem installing Camera Raw 8.3  and as a work around back then, Adobe Support manually edited the Registry of my Windows 7 laptop to enable Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 to recognise the Adobe Camera Raw 8.3 software so I could edit my files from my then new Nikon D610 camera...  Now when I receive and install any updates for Camera Raw the installation says it was successful but the old 8.3 version of Adobe Camera Raw remains when launched via Bridge or Photoshop..  which means I am unable to edit any files with the New Nikon D750 , or even the D810, can someone please help me solve this issue once and for good.. Thanks, please?!

    Download the latest version: Parallels Desktop 8.0.18483. Uninstall the one you have then install the new version. The uninstaller will either be in your Applications folder or on the disk image for the version you now have installed.

  • Since upgrading to Lion, i am unable to take screen shots.  i get the message that i don't have permission to save files to the place where SSs are saved.  how can i regain the ability to save screen shots?  thanks

    First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
    If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion.  I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
    If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

    Thanls Ernie. I found the solution. My problem was previous to 10.10.3. It looks like the installation of final cut and uninstallation of fcp delte a plugins that was needed for Aperture. I recover from time machine my plugins in Library/frameworks/plugin.manager.framework and now Aperture works ! Ouf....
