Import pdf from iWeb

How can I export a simple pdf file to iWeb ?

Drop the pdf on the canvas. Change the size. It's now a picture.
Select the picture and create a hyperlink to the pdf.
Upon publishing iWeb will put the pdf on the server.
When your visitor click the image the pdf will load in the browser.
You cannot import the content of the pdf on a iWeb page. Create the iWeb page from the content where you created the pdf in the first place.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

FM7 for Macintosh can't import PDFs from Distiller 8.1.2

I'm not sure exactly what day I updated my Distiller 8 to the latest 8.1.2, but now, PDFs created with Distiller, whether from Frame in Classic or from an OS X app, can't be imported into FrameMaker 7 for Mac. I get an error that Frame can't load the document (39251:-1) and the console posts this error:
] Error in function TryToImportPDFIntoObject, status=IMPORTPDFCantAddPDFFacet
Setting Distiller to save down to earlier version does not work, and neither does opening it in Acrobat and doing a save. However, I am not out of luck: If I distill it with Apple Preview, it works fine. Also, PDFs made with earlier Distiller work fine.
Frankly I don't expect any specific answers, but I thought I'd post my "God Save the Macintosh" rant anyway!

SOLVED!
As suspected, my problem of not being able to play or import CD from iTunes 8.1 was internal to iTunes (with a little help from me). iTunes does not recognize the drive letters of A: or B: I wanted the drive letter configuration of my computer to be C:SYSTEM and D:DATA, so I changed the optical drive to A: just like the old floppy drives used to be. (Going old school.) Since iTunes will not accept that, I changed the drive letter of the optical drive to O: (for optical) and everything works.
To do this, go CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM AND MAINTENANCE>ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS>COMPUTER MANAGEMENT>STORAGE>DISK MANAGEMENT. All your drives should be laid out in front of you. (If your optical drive isn't listed, you might have to insert a disk and from the menu bar select ACTION>REFRESH.) Left click on your optical drive to select it and then right click on Change Drive Letter and Paths... Select Change, enter any unused drive letter greater than B: (D: is common by default, O: seemed to work) and OK your way out of it.
Changing my drive letters has probably left me open to problems from other programs that don't taken drive letter flexibility into account, but iTunes works for me.
I am e-mailing this to the Apple tech who tried unsuccessfully to help me, placing suspicion on everything except the coding of iTunes. Hopefully, Apple will put this in their knowledge base, because it seems to be a common problem and few know the solution.

Problem with imported pdfs from older version

I'm working in CS4. The InDesign document I'm working on was originally done in an older version of InDesign (not sure which). It contains imported pdfs that were created in CS2 and CS3. When I export to pdf the older imported pdfs don't display properly on my client's PC - the type is not there, only boxes with question marks - but the pdf looks fine on my screen. I upgraded from CS2 to CS4. The only way I've gotten around this is to export the CS4 InDesign document as an .INX file, have a friend open it up in CS3 and save down to an .INX file again, open the doc up in CS2, create the pdf from CS2, and open it in the older version of Acrobat. Then my client sees the type clearly on their PC
I'm using Suitcase (thought it was a font issue, but I don't think so now as the fix seemed to be between the CS versions.
Anyone else have this problem and/or a better solution? I'd like to be able to simply export a pdf and be done with it.
Thanks!

Thats it thank you!
There was a text wrap applied to all the graphics. its working perfectly now!!
Thank you again!!!

Import pdf into iweb

How do i go about importing a pdf file into iweb? Any help will
be greatly appreciated. thanks.
imac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Mark,
Thanks for ur quick response. I did exactly as the article from James Tseng
described. I linked it exactly as he describes but only the 1st page of the
pdf file is displayed. Its actually a large pdf file with 96 pages. Could it be
the size of this pdf (96 pages) that is keeping from downloading all of the
pages??? Something's not right.

Can you access the contents of an imported PDF from a script?

I need to determine if certain text exists (and it's location on the pdf page) on a PDF that I've imported into ID.
I know how to do it outside of ID -- but I'd rather do in a JS script.
Thanks
Akiva

David,
These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…
Don King Resurrected: Deleted files from hard drive (free user steps – music recovery only)
MacMuse: Computer Crashed (free user steps – music recovery only)

XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
You need at least three sets of your music:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

No import PDF from LiveCycle?

Hi there!
I used to build my forms with Acrobat, then found LiveCycle was more functional for creating large numbers of multi-page branded forms. It's much more flexible when forms need to be changed or updated.
More recently, I have found that Acrobat is crashing whenever I try to edit my Acrobat-made forms. My LiveCycle forms are the only ones that remain editable. I've started remaking all my Acrobat forms with LiveCycle, as I have been unable to find a fix or customer support for Acrobat X.
I had hoped to start using FormsCentral since I can see that PDF forms are obsolete, and eventually all our office's forms need to function as online forms.
Now I find that FormsCentral doesn't allow you to import existing PDFs that were built with LiveCycle/XFA.
Is this really true?
Those of us who bought into LiveCycle, learned it, and started using it for all our forms are left out in the cold when it comes to Adobe's solutions for getting our forms online?
Say it ain't so,
Laura

Hi George!
Thank you for responding so kindly! Perhaps I was getting an extreme impression from the Adobe tech support- I meant that I wasn't finding tech/customer support for Acrobat. Your responses have been the only useful input I've gotten so far.
And I really love LiveCycle! It's so elegant for building large numbers of similar forms, and the dynamic capabilities mean that you can create a very complex form that still maintains a simple, easy to follow user experience. I'm devastated that mobile devices don't support that kind of functionality.
By obsolete, though, I mean that it seems clear that the future is online, and creating a PDF file to send around the office and to customers is not the most efficient way for me to assist in data collection for my company, so I need to get back up on the learning curve.
It looks as though LiveCycle has its own set of solutions for getting online, though, and I don't even know how to begin to compare the features available for LC with the feature set of Formscentral. I'll be looking over the documentation for both in an attempt to learn more.
Thank you for your help with the Acrobat forms, by the way. I'll be reporting back results!
Laura

PDF that Can Import PDFs from iBooks?

Hi. Is there a good third-party PDF reader than can will read from iBooks PDF that'll work with iPhone 3G? Most PDF readers need a Mac to transfer the PDF to it's iOS app.
Thank you.
God bless.

Thanks for the very prompt answer! That seems like it sort of does what I want - however, once I leave the course, I want to have the system continue to work - and future Admins probably wont have access to Acrobat Pro, or the technical knowledge to send out looking for responses. Nor is there a sharepoint (or equivalent drive) to set. Perhaps some further explanation is required.
There are multiple classes going on at one time, and each class gets a folder on a standalone machine, with a different Admin in charge of each class. When one graduates, another one fills in behind them a week or so afterwards. So what I need is a "template" file for student data, and a template "Master list" that pulls from all of the student data PDFs in that folder, locally, without the Master list having to send out requests for information. That way, when a new class starts, the students can email in their student data, the Admin can pop them all in a folder with a blank Master List template, and when the admin opens the Master list, it populates with all the data from the student sheets.
Hopefully that is a little clearer, and hopefully doable! It really needs to be pretty darn simple. We used to do it in Excel, and gave each student a tab where we copy/pasted their basic data - and a crosslinked sheet pulled it into the master list. Alas, that looked unprofessional and sometimes was very troublesome when the students altered the Excel form in any way or put things in the wrong cells.
Thanks!

Pdf-file with clickable links from iweb 09

How can I create a pdf-file with clickable links from a website created in iweb 09?
All iwork apps have an export button, which fulfills this task, but iweb does not.
Any idea?

I am running 10.5.6 on a MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz. I create my PDFs via the print dialogue. I tried to create a PDF from iweb with Hyperlinks activated and all links are dead. I tried to create the PDF from the Safari window, were all links are active, and – funny enough – sometimes all, sometimes half of my links are dead. But most of them do not work. As soon as I create PDFs from third party sites, everything works fine.

How can I auto export a PDF File using the "Smallest File Size" preset and set the Exported File Name based on information from an Imported PDF?

Greetings all,
I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
myWin.orientation = 'row';
with(myWin){
    myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
    myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
    myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
    myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
myWin.center();
var myWindow = myWin.show();
if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
    var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
    myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
    if(myFile != null){
        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
    }else{
        alert("No File selected");
}else{
    alert("No PDF Preset selected");
So far my code does the following:
1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
3) Toggles the Template
4) Runs #2 Again
5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!

If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.

Import Data/Populate fields in pdf from Excel

I'm not sure if I am using the correct terms, but I would like to set up text fields in a pdf that can import data from specific fields in an excel file. I found the import data form in the properties of the text field, but it will only allow me to select pdf files. Is it possible to import data an excel file to a text field? I would like to do the following
1. create a excel table that includes kids last name, first name, and Grades (Q1, Q2, E1, S1 etc...)
2. I have a pdf form that already has text fields that correspond to the fields mentioned above.
3. Set up the pdf to import the data and generate a page for each student.
I specifically mentioned excel because everyone at my school has excel. However, it would also work if I could design another pdf with a table that I could import data from.

Something like this?
// Import the first row of data from "myData.txt".
this.importTextData("/c/desktop/myData.txt", 0)
if (typeof cnt == "undefined") cnt = 0;
this.importTextData("/c/desktop/textdata.txt", cnt++ % 4)
// Specify the name of the template
var template_name = "Student Information Sheet";
// Get a reference to the template
var t = getTemplate(template_name);
// Add a new page based on the template
if (t !== null) {
    t.spawn({
    nPage: numPages,      // Add the new page to end of document
    bOverlay: false,      // Create a new page, not an overlay
    bRename: true         // Rename the fields
} else {
   app.alert("The template named \'" + template_name + " does not exist in this document.", 1);
But how would I tell the new page to take the second row from the chart, and will I have to click the button for each one of the fields in the data?

Generating a PDF from a OTF (imported from CLOSE_FORM) and send it by mail.

Hello!
I have a problem.
I'll try to explain it toy you.
I have a SapScript that the user has the option to send it to the printer or have a Print Preview. I need to send it by mail in PDF format.
If the user select PRINT, a spool id is created, I can get the OTF, generate the PDF and send it by mail. Everything OK with that.
The problem is if the user select PRINT PREVIEW I don't get a spool id. So, what I did is to get the OTF from the CLOSE_FORM MF and generate de PDF from there. I tried several FM to generate the PDF but for sure I'm doing something wrong, because or the PDF is corrupted or I have a problem with the parameters in the SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 FM.
So, what I need it: Generate a PDF from a OTF imported from CLOSE_FORM FM and send it by mail.
Examples or the FM I can use are welcome.
I tried to do search here, but I couldn't find anything that may help me..
So, please... Show me the light!!!
Thanks!!!

Creating pdf from clipboard does not import images or formatting

Creating PDF from clipboard works perfect in acrobat X however in acrobat XI no images are imported and the text just defaults to times roman font. My wife uses acrobat for her craft patterns and copies from the web all the time with no issues in Acrobat X. She tried it on Acrobat XI and it just looks like garbage. The text is there but the images that were copied along with the text are not. I have examples that she did using the exact same clipboard in both X and XI.

Bill@VT wrote:
I guess I must not understand how you are transferring the items to the clipboard. Is the browser the same one you used with AA X?
Yes, I used the same browser (Chrome) with AA X and AA XI.
Bill@VT wrote:
When I did it with AA XI, I used the mouse (on a PC) to select the text and figures in my browser and copied that info to the clipboard (ctrl-C on the PC and I assume similar on the MAC).
Yes, the procedure for copying info to the clipboard is similar for a Mac and a PC. I select the info (in this case, text and graphics) with the mouse, and can copy it to the clipboard with either Command-C (Mac equivalent of ctrl-C), or by right-clicking on the highlighted info and choosing "copy" from the pop-up window. I do not have to use Print Screen in conjunction with this procedure. If I use Print Screen, it copies everything that my monitor displays and the results of a paste are an image.
Is there something I am missing about getting the web page parts wanted to the clipboard? If you clip the items into a graphics packages, does the graphics show up as desired?
No, you are not missing anything. All of the web page parts are in the clipboard. The problem is that only the text is showing up when I use the create PDF from clipboard option in AA XI. I do not have a graphics package installed; however, if I paste the clipboard contents into Word, both the text and graphics show up.
I checked the PDF created with my AA XI and found the text as text and the the graphic as graphic, not simply a graphic as you suggested. Is it possible the graphic is shown with a place holder or just space for the graphic. If that is the case, check the preferences that you have "view large images" turned on.
As I explained ad nauseum, the PDF I try to create with AA XI using create PDF from clipboard does not include the graphics; it only has the text. I just checked the preferences and "view large images" is turned on. I could not find any other preference settings that would seem to help with the problem I am having.
I can paste the clipboard contents directly into Word and print the document to a PDF. When I do that, though, I usually have to spend a lot of time editing the Word document, because the contents are not in the same format. The paragraphs are usually squashed together, or the photos are too large and I have to change the size. This just takes up more time than I have to spend.
The bottom line is that it seems to me Adobe must have changed something in the Mac version of AA XI that causes it to not work the same way it does in AA X. The PC version is obviously okay, because you are able to get the feature to work.
I guess I am going to have to give up on this problem and stick with using AA X.
Thanks again for all your help.

Import Data From Excel Into PDF

I have made a PDF in Acrobat 9 that has form fields in it, such as Last Name, First Name, Social Security Number, Address, Birth Date, Email, etc. I want to import data from an Excel Spreadsheet into these form fields. I have Excel 2010 and created an .XML file that includes this information. I went back to my PDF file and clicked on Forms, Manage Form Data, Import Data, browsed and selected my .XML file and nothing happens. I am at a loss and not sure what or where to go from here. Any input would be very helpful at this point.
Thank you in advance.

The XML structure used by Acrobat is not the same as used by Excel.
You can try exporting your spreadsheet as a CSV file and then import it
that file in Acrobat. If the field names match the column names, it should
work.

I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?
