In a PDF what side is the first page in a book?

I am transferring a book from word to PDF however I am not sure on what side my first and following pages are on. Like the first reading page, in word it is on an odd page but seems different in PDF

Page 1. If you are using the facing page view it is an option whether you have
1 2
3 4
or
- 1
2 3

Multi-page pdf documents show only the first page in safari

I suspect QT is the culprit, when I right-click the page and click About QT Plugin... nothing happens, when I then click the page [plugin failure] button shows up.
I have QT and QT7 Pro installed on my machine running OS X 10.6.8

You need to maintain the relative folder structure that was used when the links were created. For example, the first link in the catalog list (0.1A 3SH Standard), is pointing to a file called "TOC-01a.pdf" that is in a sub-folder called "0.1A" under the folder where the main PDF is located.
You should really try to get the entire thing as a zip file, or have the creators of the PDF change their links to ones that point to URLs, or you'll need to spend a lot of time on re-creating the folder structure for all the links in this file (which you don't have access to unless you have Acrobat, anyway)...

When publishing to PDF, only the first page is published.

Have not been able to find the setting to allow all the pages to be published. In Word or WordPerfect, when I publish to pdf it only publishes the first page.
Thanks in advance.

Acrobat, absolutely, does not control Corel WP publish to PDF.
Nor does it control the MS Office 2007 Save As to PDF-XPS process.
Corel's WP "publish" to PDF does not involve any Adobe / Acrobat related processes.
Until recent releases, WP used an 'in house' routine to create PDFs.
Not that long ago Corel hooked up with Nuance to provide an improved "publish to PDF" feature.
With regards to Corel's WP file format; it is good to know that neither older WP versions nor the current version is an Adobe PDFMaker "supported" format .
I suspect that this is due to Corel having made the business decision to go their own way with providing a PDF output process.
Best bet for obtaining WP file to PDF information is at Corel's WP user forums which have knowledgeable and helpful participants.
As to Word - again, the MS Office Save As to PDF-XPS method is totally a MS process.
No Acrobat involvement.
What may be the source of the issue you have is a possible conflict between the Nuance stuff and the Acrobat stuff.
It is not uncommon to encounter conflicts when multiple PDF creation processes are installed.
Regardless, the issue you have is not an Acrobat exclusive one.
Be well...

Why does preview only export the the *first* page of a multi-page PDF, regardless of what page I'm on?

I am trying to save all 20 pages of a pdf as .png images. I scroll to each page and then select File>Export... and save an image. Regardless of which page I'm on, it will only export the first page.
*LAME*
What is even more lame is that I'm doing this work-around because whoever created this datasheet either didn't properly embed the fonts, or the fonts are corrupt, hence, while it displays perfectly on the screen, printing yeilds:
ERROR: invalidfont
OFFENDING COMMAND: show
STACK:
If it can display it, there should be a way to print what you see (remember rasterized plots back in the day??).

That does seem rather useless.
Use Automator - it has a "PDF to Images" action that will do exactly what you need. Drop your document into the workflow, drop the "PDF to Images" action in right after that, set any options that you need (like where to save) and then click "run"
Barring that, I've found that sometimes Adobe Reader will sometimes work well for documents that Preview can't print, and I've found some documents that Adobe Reader chokes on but Preview handles flawlessly.

When printing multiple pages from an internet email or webpage, only the first page is properly fitted on the page. All subsequent pages are cut off on the right side. What's the fix?

I have set the print settings to "Ignore scaling and Fit to Page" and it seems to work only for the first page of a multi-page webpage or email chain. Nothing I've done seems to fix it. I've set the print settings to 90% scale in page set-up in order to print FedEx online waybills properly, but I can't seem to solve the other problems.

Doc: I've had a similar experience, and here are the details, investigation, and a workaround. My printer is a Brother MFC-645CN, and I'm using Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on a 2010 iMac quad i5 connected to the printer over my ethernet LAN. Are you using a Brother printer?
Firefox has shown this kind of nasty issue for the past six months or so. It seems to be related to the imaging algorithms in Preview when dealing with Firefox (now at v.12) and the Brother printer -- the screwy second page (and beyond) show up skewed and up-sized when doing a print preview also. No such problem seen in Safari or anything else. I am not currently using any other Mozilla apps on this Mac besides Firefox.
A few months ago I tested printing from my administrator account and a different user account. Firefox printing was completely normal and as expected. When I went back to my main user account, back came the funky second page.I went through extensive troubleshooting to try to chase it down, systematically removing and replacing apps and preferences and many other Library files related to printing, Brother drivers, Firefox, and Preview. Nothing helped. Solution was to migrate my user files to an account where the printing problem wasn't happening. I deleted the problem user account.
Everything was fine for about three weeks, and then with no warning, printing was back to the bad second page, just as before. I am stumped, and I'll let smarter people try to figure it out. I use Firefox a lot, and it's possible that some add-on setting is interfering, or a web page I visited turned the printing funky again. I just don't know.
Also checked on a Mac G4 running Leopard (10.5.8) and Firefox 3.6.28. No printing/preview problems there.
Now, for the work-around I am currently using -- print each page separately, one at a time. Page 1, then page 2, etc. Preview and printing looks completely normal. Hope this works for you until the bug is located and squashed for good.

Displaying more than the first page of a pDF

My firm posts pdf's online for users to access. One of the Ipads in the firm can view all the pages of any document. The others only access the first page which is a problem. What's strange is that the one that can view the file's entirety does not have a PDF viewer - no Good Reader or even ibooks. Basically it's factory settings because it's user isn't very active. I've got two Ipads to compare and for anything that seems related (general and safari) the settings are the same between the one that works and one that doesn't. The one that is working is 3G and the non-working one is not. Nither is an ipad 2. (Aside - Does that make them Ipad 1?)
What else

Correction to my earlier post- they are both 3G so that can't really be the problem source either.

How can I make the first page of a PDF load before the whole file on a website

I work for a company that loads they brochures in PDF format on their website and the PDF's were formerly created in Indesign and converted.
When the files were viewed on the website, the first page loaded right away while the others loaded. Now I have created an interactive PDf with buttons in Fireworks, but when I convert the file to PDF and load it on the web, the first page does not load until the whole file loads which is about 5MB.
My employer likes the buttons and interactivity, but does not want teh customer sitting there for a few minutes looking at an empty screen while the whole file loads to view.
Does anyone know what I mean? I could use some help.
Thanks!

Make sure that fast web view is enabled.

Why do I only get the first page of a 5-page pdf when I attach it in Pages?

I'm trying to add a multi-page pdf to the end of a Pages document so that I can see what hard copy I sent in the post with the letter. However, I can only attach the first page of the pdf and the other pages don't show. I have tried selecting all the pages and choosing Print Selected Page when creating the pdf, (which was suggested in the Snow Leopard help pages) but the same thing still happens. Just the first page appears. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm not sure if this should be posted in Snow Leopard or Pages so I'll try here! Thank you.

You can not attach a multi-page .pdf document to Pages.
Just create a folder in which you enclose both your Pages letter and the .pdf.

When I print to pdf on Mac, the first page comes out fine but all the rest are magnified and shifted up and right

I click File>Print. Whether I open pdf in Preview, save to pdf, or just print, I get this error. The first page is fine, but all the rest are shifted up and to the right and magnified.
I've never been able to print out a multi-page document on Firefox with my new computer. I can copy/paste the address to Safari (gross) and it prints just fine, either to pdf or to a hard copy.
Save me from having to use Safari!

Making sure the fonts were embedded helped some, but it's still hit and miss. Sometimes I'm still missing pieces. One workaround I have found that works is just print one page without security to PDF, and then go back and replace the bad page(s) with them. So it will print properly, just not all the time. I have a copy of a word page and then what acrobat did to it. I just need to figure out how to post it here.

Mail only sends the first page of PDF files

If I use Safari, then the entire file is sent
Any ideas what is going wrong wi

Select the page and go to Tools>Pages>Extract to get the page. Then save as other>DOCX.

How to display PDF in slideshow, without returning to the first page or stall/halt on the last page?

Hi,
I want to display PDF's with multiple pages as a slideshow.
This is possible with a default Adobe Reader and have this working for ONE pdf file.
But I want do display multiple PDF's as a slideshow, the one after the other.
In Adobe Reader you can define to return to the first page again or it automatically 'stalls/halts' at the last page.
But I want Adobe Reader to close after the last page is displayed so it continues (in a simple DOS-script) with a second, third, etc. PDF to be displayed.
Is this possible?
What kind of simple DOS-script kan be used or an other reader/utility?
Thanks in advance!
Gunther

Hi Bernd,
I was looking for ways to script this kind of solution.
But do not have good results. There are tools to combine pdf's into one large pdf - but mostly to be selected by hand.
We need it in a scriptable way to automate.
Additionally, we want to be able to combine different types of documents to rotate as a slide show (so not only PDF's but also pictures or other output).
If you or someone else have such scripts, it will be highly appreciated.
Regards

Why does the first page of construction plans in pdf format print correctly, while the drawings on other pages shrink?

Help! I am trying to print out construction drawings saved as a pdf to a wide format printer. The first page prints correctly, no matter what page I start on. The rest of the pages have the drawings way too small and off center. I am having to resort to printing each page separately. Why is this happening?

Hi there ashp,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Can't see my PDF after the first page when i put the security on!

i have a PDF file protected by password that cause me problems.
If i put security by password on this PDF, and i look at the infos, i found : Encrypted with Acrobat Distiller 9.2.0
But if i don't secure it by password, i got Adobe Distiller.
But the real problem, with security, when i try to see my PDF on a website, il looks like this
If i don't put the security, it is ok, i can see the other pages. In my example, all what you see is the end of the first page, on 30 pages.
Am i the only person with this problem? I'm looking for another version of my acrobat to see if the "distiller" is the same and if i'll get the problem again.
Thanks

Moving to Acrobat forum.

When I open Firefox, it goes to the first page and then stops, saying "Not Responding" with the cursor spinning. What can I do to fix this? Thanks for any help

When I open Firefox, it goes to the first page I open, but then stops and says "Not Responding" with the mouse cursor spinning. I hit the close button and it says Windows is searching for a solution (which doesn't come).
When I open Firefox again, it says:
Well, this is embarrassing.
Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
You can try:
Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem
Starting an entirely new browsing session
Any ideas? I gretly appreciate any help. Thanks!!

What is that first page?
Can't you open any web pages in Firefox?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

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)
