Is it possible to add a number of PDF files together?

I have found a book on Oxford that has not been published and I have the permision of the writers widow to attempt to get it published. It is in loose leaf format, roughly 400 pages and I have scanned it in OCR and PDF.
The problem with OCR is that it has introduced a large number of erors which will take a long time to correct although it does alow flexability.
The problem with PDF is that I can not edit it and what is worse I scanned it into PDF in five files because I was worried that I may loose the document just as I got to the end.
I know little about PDF although I do have Adobe Reader 7 on my computer so my question is: Is it possible to connect the five files together or am I obliged to go back to the very begining and scan the whole lot again?

It depends on which version you want. standard runs around $300.00 and Pro for around $450.00.
You can see the different features by going to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html, You can purchase at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/?promoid=BPDDU

Is it possible to add bookmarks to a PDF file with Adobe Reader for iOS?

In the App Store write-up on this app, it said that one could "Use bookmarks to jump directly to a section in your PDF file." But I don't see how one can add such bookmarks. Do they only mean that you can use bookmarks that were already in the document before you open it in Adobe Reader?

Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thanks,
Cam

In Numbers 08 is it possible to add a link to a file on the local disc within a cell?

In Numbers 08 is it possible to add a link to a file on the local disc within a cell?

As it's a feature asked several times, maybe it will be available in the next version.
I don't know features available in Excel.
Sometimes ago I posted an AppleScript which may perhaps fit your needs.
If you insert in a table pathnames of files stored in your HD, select the cell, trigger the script, open the file.
Here is an updated version :
--[SCRIPT open_a_file]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : open_a_file.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numb ers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner la cellule contenant le chemin d'accès
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “open_a_file”
ouvre le fichier.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script: open_a_file.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select the cell containing the pathname
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “open_a_file”
open the file
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
Save this script as a … Script in the "Folder Actions Scripts" folder
<startupVolume>:Library:Scripts:Folder Action Scripts:

Is it possible to add markups to a PDF that I am not the author of

Most of the PDFs I generate are from other applications (like Autocad) where I "print to PDF" to create the file.   Most of the PDFs I recevie are generated the same way.   Prior to Acrobat Reader 8, it was simple for me and my collueges to exchange information on these PDFs by using markup tools and resending them with markups.   Since Acrobat 8 has come along, I now find it impossible to markup a drawing (no matter if I have created it using Print to PDF or if someone has sent it to me). I went to the knowledge base and see that the drawing has to be enabled for markup in one of 2 ways
In an open PDF, choose Comments > Enable For Commenting In Adobe Reader, and then save the PDF.
Start the wizard to initiate a shared review or an email-based review and follow the on-screen instructions. When you’re finished, commenting is enabled in the PDF that you specify for the review.
Well, there is no Comments selection in my toolbar.   Second method is given by
Quickstart: Start an email review
An email-based review lets you track review status and merge received comments into the PDF.
Click Review & Comment and choose Attach For Email Review.
If prompted, enter your identity information to create a reviewer profile.
Follow the on-screen instructions to select the PDF, invite reviewers, and send the email invitation.
If your email application doesn’t send email automatically, you may need to answer alert messages and switch to your email application to finish sending the message
But there is no Review & Comment button to click.
So, can someone tell me, can I still do a simple markup of any PDF?   Even if I have to jump through hoops can I?    I guess I can understand Why Adobe has done away with this feature in their free tool, as they were not getting any revenue off of it, but it greatly diminishes the usefulness of Acrobat Reader and therefore all PDFs for me.
Thanks in advance for your response.

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

At this time I can not add another book or PDF file to my library. When I try to move a PDF file to iBooks the system works for a while...sometimes the file appears and than disappears....sometimes the file never appears. Is ther some limit to the number of books or total storage used in IBooks? Thanks....

How to programmatically add rectangle to a pdf file ?

How to programmatically add rectangle to a pdf file ?
There is several page pdfs, non-vector, black and white.
Users are color blind and have disabilities.
To train them, one adds a rectangle at a certain lower-left point and width,height specified for a page.
The idea is to give the script the page and coordinates and size of rectangle to be added programmatically. Green rectangles are acceptable as the cones are most sensitive there.
Also, additional feature to add bookmarks on the left in the order these rectangle data is provided to the script.
The script could be "hard-wired" by a list of the rectangle coodinates, and page number, pasted inside acrobat and run or entered into acrobat in some way.
Your script would help many disabled people who are distributed through out the world.
Feel free to contact me by email if you wish.
Dying Vets

P.S.
This rectangle does not have to be a full annotation rectangle which needs user,date and a lot of info.
Something minimal like this would suffice
1 0 0 RG % red for stroke color
200 300 50 75 re
As you can see that the native unit of the pdf file is the "point" having 72 in an inch.
The file dpi would be given. However, one could assume that pixel for the rectangle lower-left and width/height are given.
From the pixels and dpi, the points could be calculated if desired.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.
Matt

Is it possible to add pic/diagram to SP file with link to another SP file?

Hi,
Is it possible to add a diagram, picture, or table to a SP file with link to another SP file?
I know this is possible in, say, Word. For example, I can add a diagram and check a box to include a link to the source file - so that when the diagram in the source file updates, the diagram in my document also updates.
This is also my goal in SP - instead of simply including a link to a document elsewhere in SP (or on the same site in SP), I would ideally like to display a diagram, picture, or table and include (behind the scenes if possible) to the source SP file
so that, when the diagram/table in the source SP file updates, my SP file also updates accordingly.
For example:
Instead of:
       The diagram is located in:
       link
I would ideally like:
       Diagram, picture, or table (with link associated with it) - users can click on the diagram or picture if they desire.
       The diagram or picture is updated whenever the source SP file containing the diagram or picture is updated (the source SP
       file will only contain a diagram, picture, or table)
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you very much.

Add bookmarks to all pdf files at once using javascript or apple script

Hello
I have a folder containing pdf files of a survey.
There is also a 'surveyname.pdf' file which consists of a number of pages.
These pages have to be bookmarked for easy reference.There is a 'dummy.pdf' file which has all the bookmarks of the survey pages. I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 to open this file.
There are also some map pdf's in the same folder.
How can I add the bookmarks that are in the 'dummy.pdf' file to all the other pdf files in the same folder at once instead of doing one at a time which consumes a lot of time for 100-120 files?
I use extendscript toolkit for writing the javscript or applescript code.
I would be grateful if anyone could help me in solving this.
Thankyou
Krishna

Here are some examples of doing the insert and the save in a separate operation. You can put them together on your own.

//From the JS Reference:
this.insertPages ({

app.beginPriv();
this.saveAs(cPath);
app.endPriv();
app.addMenuItem({ cName: "mySaveAs", cParent: "Insert Page",

Hi,
That is not possible via CreatePDF, in createPDF you need to upload the file on your machine for convertion. For Website convertion to PDF, you would require Adobe Acrobat.

Hi Irosenth,
In 'License & Compliance Services' document provided by Adobe, they specified as
For server use, installing desktop licenses in a server based environment is generally allowed,
so long as the total number of users, (not concurrent users) who can access the software
deployed on that server, do not exceed the Permitted Number of licenses. Usage is defined as
individuals or entities who “use, download, copy OR otherwise benefit” from the
functionality of the Software installed on the server.

Optimize a large number of pdf files using Acrobat Pro XI

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and need to optimize a large number of scanned files and other pdf's that are quite large. Is there any way to optimize multiple files at the same time, or do I have to do them one at a time (a major bummer if this is the case). I read on the forums that Acrobat Pro 9 had this capablity, so I can't imagine that a newer version wouldn't have it. Thanks for your help.

You can use an Action to process multiple files in Acrobat Pro XI, via Tools - Action Wizard.
Add to it a Save command and there you'll be able to specify that you want to optimize the file.
