Import MultiPage PDF nested equally on single page

Hello,
I have had a scout around on the net but cannot find anything so far on the subject topic and I wondered if anyone here knows of its existence.
I need a script that will allow me to import a multipage PDF into one large page. I need each import to be equally spaced on the page so the individual pages are laid out in a grid format. (I am creating print and cut files for double sided prints with bespoke cutting)
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Matt

If i had a pile of pdf's to place on a page i would...
Layout a template with place holder rectangles on the page where you want the pdfs to be locking them in possition, Assign these rectangles an image content so that when you have your cursor loaded with the pdf you option click and the pdfs get placed into the rectangles.

Import multipage pdf in an Illustrator document

Hello,
Does a script exist to import multipages pdf document in an illustrator document ?
I usually use InDesign to import multipage document with the script named "pdf import".
The goal of the manipulation is to outline fonts, or resize the different boxes (Trim box for exemple).
An other question : can we import a ".jsx" file made for InDesign into Illustrator ?
Thank you for your help.

Illustrator has a PDF open options object with allows for sizes height, width, boxes i.e. media art crop and page to open.
I have so far NOT tried scripting this but should NOT think its too much of a problem with the exception of knowing how
many time you need to loop to get all the pages in the PDF. The scripting guides contain a basic example too.

Creating a pdf document with both single pages and spreads

Hi, i'm not sure if this is possible, but basically i'd like to set up a document which allows me view the first three pages as single sheets and the remainder of the document as a booklet. The reason for this is I'm sending a cover letter, CV and then a booklet via email to apply for a job, and the booklet i have created has graphics which run accross the spread. I was hoping to lay the document as such:
1. cover letter
2. CV
3. Booklet front cover
4-5. booklet spread
6-7. booklet spread
8-9. booklet spread
I'm not too familiar with how to set this up (or if this is possible), could anyone point me in the right direction?

@Dave Merchant - The pages are true spreads, I've had a go at attempting to define the page type by the master but i can't seem to get it to split the document so that the first three pages remain single. I had a go at trying to create an entire new document with the pages in in order, but not sure how to insert single pages and spreads combined within the document.
@Test Screen Name - Do you know how i would be able to create such a document within indesign? i've had a look for some answers in the documentation but havent come accross anything yet (im on CS5). I had a go at combining the documents as the booklet and the single pages, but when i change the view options in acrobat to two page the first pages becomes a cover and the second and third are next to each other.

Import MultiPage PDF

All:
Is there a way to tell how many pages are in a multi-page PDF prior to or immediately after importing with the ProcessImportAndLoadPlaceGun?
thanks,
Liz

You can't do it all at one time, but, yes, it can be done. Open the PDF in Preview & show the sidebar. Click on the page you want & choose Copy from the Edit menu. Now go to your Pages document & paste, in the document, not the thumbnails drawer. Repeat.

Importing multipage PDF into multi artboard AI doc

Hi folks,
The only way I've been able to get a multi-page PDF (with editable vector paths) into AI is to place each PDF page into an AI file with multiple artboards, one at a time. Am I missing something? Is there a more efficient workflow for this? We have to do this with about 90 PDFs, so efficiency is valued.
Thanks,
Toni

Import XML into Single Page PDF Form - Form Repeats

I have a created a PDF form in Acrobat, which is a single page that has about 16 text fields to be filled in. The data I am importing is in an XML format. I am able to import the data for a single page with no trouble. I would like to be able to import multiple pages of data and have the form repeat with the corresponding additional data.
For example,
- I have a "grid report" that is 3 rows and 16 columns. Each row of data represents a separate page. The data is converted to XML format and saved as a single file (see below sample).
- I have a single page PDF Form with text 16 fields. The text fields correspond to the column data from the "grid report"
- (Desired) After importing the XML data into the single page PDF form, I would like to have a file that has 3 pages. Each page is a replicate of the original form.
          - The data contained in the 16 fields of page 1 reflect the data from Row1 of the "grid report"
          - The data contained in the 16 fields of page 2 reflect the data from Row2 of the "grid report"
          - The data contained in the 16 fields of page 3 reflect the data from Row3 of the "grid report"
I am not sure if I need to change the format of my XML, or if there is a way to add a tag of some kind at the end of the PDF From that indicates the (blank) form should repeat for each <Row> of data.
I am open to other reporting/form applications, but I am having a hard time finding anything online that indicates this specific functionality. I would think that this is a pretty standard process, but I am having quite the time finding a solution. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Hi there,

Numbers exports entire document as a single page PDF

I'm trying to give numbers a shot on an iPad, but so far I'm running into what seems like a very critical bug.
I have a relatively simple numbers document that I'm working with. If I were to print it via os x, it would span 3 8.5x11 pages. It would stand to reason then, that if I exported it to a PDF, I would get a PDF with three 8.5x11 sized pages. But no matter what I do, when I export to PDF (On iOS or OS X) I get one long PDF that's a single page that doesn't fit any standardized page size. At least on OS X I can print and save a PDF from the print dialogue. That option doesn't exist on iOS. Does anyone habe a workaround for this bizarre behavior?

Can't answer your question, but I experience something a little different, I have a one page Numbers file that contains a chart, a 4x6 table and title. When I go to print to see if it fits on one page and I have the page set to Portrait, and the size set to US (I assume this means 8.5x11) it fits just fine. Then I exit Print and try to export to PDF to open in another app (ZoomNotes) but while it prepared the PDF, the preview doesn't look like an 8.5x11 representation, then when I open it in zoomnotes, it gets imported as a 9.5x11 and zoomnotes won't change it. There needs to be a way to force PDF exports to the correct page size.
Sorry for for jumping on your post, but maybe with some activity, we'll both get someone looking at this.

To import a pdf file in FrameMaker

How do we import a pdf file with all its pages in a FrameMaker file ?
I found that we can import only one sheet of the pdf in a FrameMaker file.

As already posted, this is how FrameMaker works. InDesign can import complete multi-page PDFs. If you're able to change production tools, InDesign may be an option. The suggested method of creating the PDF content that FrameMaker is able to create, and combining it with the existing PDF document in Acrobat.

Acrobat single page view - can't make it work.

Hi, everyone.
I have created a book using Blurb's template for InDesign. After I finished the book I exported it as a PDF file and wanted to review it on my notebook and iPad but Acrobat only displays it in two page view (the 'spread' as InDesign refers to it).
I've tried a vew options in Acrobat including view in single page mode but so far haven't been able to make it work. In addition, although I have chosen the option in Acrobat to have a space displayed between pages when viewing the 2-page spread, the space still doesn't show.
Any ideas as to how this can be accomplished ?
I need to be able to see this PDF on page at a time instead of the 2-page spread as Acrobat displays it now.
Thank you in advance for your help.

The fix is on the InDesign side since what appears to be two pages is really a single page in the PDF. Export as single pages, not spreads. For example: http://indesignsecrets.com/interactive-pdf-from-indesign-cs5-always-has-spreads-on.php

Viewing PDF file as one continuous page - Like Word "Web Layout"

Is there a way to view a pdf file as one continuous document without the page breaks? (similar to the way you would view "web layout" in Word)
Thanks for all the help!!

You would have to create the entire PDF document as one single page. Just set the PDF page size to a size large enough to hold all the contents of your Word doc. Of course, if you're distributing this PDF, it will make it harder for people to print it.

Exporting a multipage InDesign document to single page PDFs but with unique filenames using scripts

Hi,
I'm using InDesign 5.5.
My goal is to export a multipage InDesign file into single page PDFs but each single PDF must be uniquely named.
For example;
InDesignFileName_487275123.00.pdf
InDesignFileName_734876882.00.pdf
...and so on.
I've spent a great deal of time searching online and the closest I have found is software called Output Factory which works fine.
The way Output Factory works is by placing a script label within a textframe on the master page in InDesign. Then whatever is typed into the text frame on each the separate pages defines the file name of each separate page.
However if I can solve this problem without any investment costs my boss will be very happy
I found PEU5 which works great for exporting into single pages, it's now a case of naming each single PDF but I know nothing how about to create a script but I get the gist of what they do. My understanding is that a script could solve the second half of my problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
S

Thanks Peter but but I don't think this is what I'm looking for.
I did find this post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/841982 but I can't seem to get the script to work.
This is the error message I get when I run the script... any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Multipage PDF imported at 100% - can I resize all doc pages to auto snap to the PDF size?

Hi all,
I've got a popular multipage PDF import script that I can run and import PDF'S into indesign. I use this to import every page at 100%, usually these are A1 in size but they do differ - Is there a way to adapt it to automatically change all document page sizes to match the imported pdf size?
Most of these PDF import scripts have options to fit the pdf's to the page, I need the other way around - to look at the size of the pdf page being imported and set the doc size so the PDF fits on it!
Any ideas?
Even if anyone has a script to resize a one page document to fit a placed graphic frame within it - that would be extremely helpful!
Thanks

Try this script from Roland Dreger: Fotobuch mit Adobe InDesign — Roland Dreger, Grafikdesign .

Need script to place multiple single page pdfs in ID pages

Does anyone know of a script that would place a whole folder full of single page pdf files into an indesign document one per page, alphabetically by pdf file name, and ideally add new pages as needed. The last part is optional, as the ID document could already have the required number of pages, all using the same master page with the the picture frame already in place.
In my current project, the pdfs are all the same size as the ID document page size.
This would be along the lines of the scripts that place multipage pdfs, but for single page ones. I have tried first creating a multipage pdf by inserting a folder full of single page pdfs at the end of an initial pdf. Acrobat 8 pro does this very well indeed, but selects the pages from the source folder in random order. I need them in alphabetical order.
Thanks for any insight,
Al

For this project I could equally well use a script that would place or re link to a new pdf in a single page ID document, print device independent postscript with some sort of unique or sequential filename, and repeat the process for a whole folder of source pdf files. No new pages need to be added, and the new pdf could replace the prior one.
What I am after is a device independent ps file for these pdf files. The ones produced by batch processing from Acrobat 8 Pro do not offer enough control, as in that method I would need *only* the black separation.
Thanks,
Al

How do I display PDF document as single pages on iPad?

Hi,
I have a company catalogue in PDF format, 20 pages long. We use Issuu to allow customer to view the catalogue on their PCs and mobile devices.
In Issuu you can customise the embed widget to show single pages, and this works fine when viewing the catalogue on a PC. The problem arises when trying to view the catalogue on an iPad. It appears that the iPad automatically sets the PDF to view as a Facing Pages document. It doesn't matter if I'm using Safari, or the Atomic browser we have installed (so that we can hide the URL bar).
I've created the document in inDesign as a single page document but the iPad still merges pages 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 etc.
The iPads will be used in our retail stores so it's important that the set up and navigation is as simple as possible. The catalogue is placed within an iFrame on the page so that I can but a navigational banner at the top that easily takes customers back to the main menu page. It's important that the catalogue opens within the page. The Issuu embed widget for Tumblr, etc only creates a preview of the catalogue which then opens in a separate tab, which unfortunately will not be suitable to our needs.
You can view the page here: http://www.eurocollections.com/block/catalogue.html
I've tried a number of different options, I've written to Issuu but they were unable to help as it only seems to be an iPad-related problem.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Peter

The PDF viewers on the iPad do not understand customised widgets. They understand the PDF format, exactly as it was designed by Adobe. Instead of trying to use a custom solution, use the features which are provided by the PDF format. Custom solutions work only for the situations that the company that wrote the custom solution wants them to work and they are a corruption of the normal way PDFs are used.
In your situation I'd remove all dependency on any custom widgets from your PDF document. Instead you can use links which allow you to click on a piece of text or an image in the PDF and the PDF software will take you to a different page. This is part of the PDF standard and will work on all software capable of showing PDFs. It is all your users should need to navigate from one part of your catalogue to another. Whatever software you're using to create your PDF should give instructions on how to create links in your PDF document.
Similarly your use of iFrames is a little stange. If your material is on a web site, put it in web pages where you can use all the features web pages give you, including blue-underlined links to other pages. If, instead, your material is in a PDF then put all the navigation in the PDF. Don't try to depend on a strange interaction between the PDF and your web pages.
