Is it possible to nest a PDF within a PDF?

Is there any way of nesting a PDF within a PDF? In word for example you can have a thumbnail image which will then open into a PDF, however when you then change the entire word document into a PDF the nested PDF files no longer open into a new window or expand at all.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thank you
Sam

You can manually attach a file in a pdf file. There is no reason the file could not be a pdf file.

  • Is it possible to give each page within one pdf document a specific set of print settings?

    I have a complex document (catalogue) that requires printing. There are several different printer settings required and each one is specific to each page within the document. For instance pg 1 is single sided in colour, page 2-3 is duplexed in b&w, page 3-8 is duplexed in colour, etc.... Is it possible to give each page within the pdf document a given set of print settings and then print the entire document as a whole?

    Hi jennyskop
    I assume that is not feasible ...You need to give the print command again and select the respective pages and their settings !

  • Is there a way to create a PDF within a PDF?

    Hi!
    I am creating a PDF form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer.  The group that I am creating this form for would like to have their customers fill out the form itself but then also have a form that is attached to the original form where the users would give more detailed information or fill out a chart.  They would then like the original PDF form along with the attached PDF form to be emailed to them.  Is the PDF within a PDF possible?  I know you can attach a file as a comment (though for some reason it is not working now - I don't know if it is because my form is now a dynamic PDF) but I don't know if you can attach a file another way then be able to update and save it.
    Thanks~

    It almost sounds like you are trying to do forms in a package format (needs at least AA8 on the user end). You might find a useful example at grants.gov in terms of one of the submission packages. I think you can download those (I generally get them from our contracting office). The basic package had several forms embedded already and there was an option to add more - sure sounds like what you want to do. Whether you need to create such a package in Acrobat or Designer is not something I can answer. Good luck.

  • Is it possible to have an attachment within a pdf doc print at the same time the main doc prints?

    Okay, so this may be kind of a weird question.  We have some users who are wanting to add a page to an already existing xml document and correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that it's not possible to add/delete pages from a pdf that's in xml format.  Since that is not possible, I have added the page to the xml document as an attachment.  Now what I am wanting to know is if it is possible to have the attachment print out at the same time as the main document.  We are using the latest version of Adobe Reader and I have access to Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 & 10 and then I have access to Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.  I've been unable to find anyting via google or by searching this forum so hopefully I'll draw out some kind of smart cookies and we'll get this figured out.  I appreciate any and all input!
    Thanks,

    I know of no way to do this with Reader or XML.

  • How to open a PDF within a PDF viewer embedded in a html page

    Hi. I'm trying to modify a jsp that opens a runtime generated pdf. Originally, the pdf is opened by prompting the Adobe Reader program, but now I need to open the pdf within the jsp (which also have other content, not just display the pdf). I tried to embed the pdf in an iframe (similar to this: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/iframe-pdf.html ), but not works, it still prompts the Adobe Reader program. Actually the pdf content is generated on runtime and output through a servlet's output stream (this servlet is written by someone already left), what i did is try to open this servlet url in an iframe. If the iframe src is really a pdf file, it really works. But now the url is a servlet that output a pdf, is there anything special needed to do in the servlet in order to fulfill my requirement?

    i'm a bit confused...sounds like you don't like the adobe reader welcome screen poping up....or perhaps even the quick buttons that would surround the document. i believe these are unavoidable.
    It also sounds like you have a servlet that returns a application/pdf mime type. ( or is at least capable of) you should be able to mark that as the source of your iframe and have no issues. i personally don't use a servlet...i use a jsp...its very easy...here's the code:
    <%
         response.setContentType("application/pdf");
         MyDataBean db = new MyDataBean();
         try {
              /* pass parameters and outstream for return */ 
              db.generatePDFFile( request, response.getOutputStream());
         } catch ( Exception e ) {
              response.setContentType("text/html");
              out.print( "there was a problem with your request..." );
    %>gl, hope that helps.

  • Is it possible to change a color within a PDF using Acrobat?

    I would like to change a color within a large batch of PDFs.
    The color should have been changed in Quark, but now that I'm well into the PDF production cycle, I'm wondering if it's possible to edit the PDF directly.
    Apart from color photos, there is only one spot color to be adjusted.

    The color in the PDF file is a Pantone color created in Quark. I want to replace it with a different Pantone color. Is that what you mean by an "arbitrary replacement"?
    The entire document is black and white plus this color. The file was exported as a composite process black plus a spot color.
    I can open the PDF as a text file and I see that "CustomColors: (PANTONE 267 C)" appears twice, as does "CMYKCustomColor: .842 .987 .002 0 (PANTONE 267 C)" but replacing them with their counterparts in a document that is the same except for a different spot color has no effect.
    Any suggestions?

  • How to combine PDFs into a single PDF and preserve links between original PDFs within single PDF

    Acrobat Pro can combine multiple PDF files into one PDF file.
    However, during this process not all links are supported.
    Links within the individual PDF files that are combined seem to work in the single resulting PDF file.
    Links that were between the individual PDF files when combined do not seem to work in the single resulting PDF file.
    Combining the PDF files should support the links that were btween the original individual PDF files in the resulting single PDF file.
    How can this be done?

    Sorry, not possible.

  • Open an attachment (non-PDF) within a PDF document (via button/link/other)

    Good morning,
    I have a PDF file where I attached an excel file and I'd like to use a mechanism (button/link/other) in the PDF to open the attachment. I read the the link technique only works if the attachment is a PDF. Is that true ? Is there anything else I could do to achieve this ?
    Thanks,
    Fabrizio

    This can't be done with a script, but you can do it manually by going to
    the link you created, editing the "Go to a page in another document" action
    in it and then setting the "Open in" option to "New Window".
    This can also be done with a stand-alone tool, but that is more
    complicated, of course.

  • Is it possible to create a workflow that exports PDF tables to Excel?

    Afternoon all,
    I've seen that it's possible to export tabulated information within a PDF document to Excel (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-excel-xlsx-converter.html) but this is a very manual process.
    I'm wondering if it's possible to create an automated set of steps that I can point to a directory of PDF files, which'll run through the files and export thier contents to Excel.  PhotoShop has something similar in its image resizing actions.  This'll save me a lot of manual time going forward, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steven

    This is possible with an action in Acrobat Pro.

  • Search for content within a PDF

    Is it possible to search for content within a PDF across a mapped drive?

    Yes. Use Edit>Advanced search. Choose All PDF Documents in and choose the mapped drive.
    They have to be searchable PDF's of course...

  • Is it possible to link to specific files on a server from within a pdf?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to create hyperlinks to a specific file on a Windows server from within a pdf?
    Let me explain further, I am working on a Mac trying to create hyperlinks from within InDesign to specific files on a Windows server. I am exporting the file to pdf, along with the hyperlinks, which look correct when I click on them from within Acrobat.
    On Windows, the links will read as \\servername\directoryname\filename so this is exactly how I enter it as the hyperlink. When I view the hyperlink information in the resulting pdf from within Acrobat, it still looks correct as \\servername\directoryname\filename but when I try to click on it from the Windows side OR the Mac side, the link doesn't work and gets changed....the slashes revert to the opposite direction and the whole link gets messed up. I am trying to figure out if the cause is InDesign, Acrobat or whether this can even be done? Of corse, I never have issues with normal URLS.
    What we are trying to do is set up an internal catalogue for the company of all our materials. (Everyone works on Windows)
    Should I try to create the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat... do you think that will make any difference?
    Thanks in advance for your help:)
    Very much appreciated!
    Christine

    Thank you for your help...very much appreciated!
    Basically, what we needed were for the links to be static and not relative, and they were mainly for Windows users. What finally worked was creating the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat. We plan to email the final pdf to several employees around the word (we are an international company) with all the links intact. Once they were logged into our network (vpn'd in) the links would still be valid no matter where the document was located. The trick is to change the start of the link to a specific IP address (the server address) when you are setting it up in Acrobat. I hope this makes sense and is helpful for everyone else out there:)
    (P.S. This works for Windows users only though and cannot be done via the Mac version of Acrobat. I can set things up within the Mac version of Acrobat so that the links will work as long as the document resides in the same location on the server... the advantage to doing it THIS way is that it will work for BOTH Mac and Windows users.)
    Thanks again,
    Christine

  • Adding attachments to PDF within ISR and possibly link to BDS in ESS

    I have a requirement where the user needs to attach documentation to a request (ISR) for approval.  From my research on this forum I see that currently SAP does not support attachments in a PDF within ISR as only a small subset of the xml data to render the form is actually saved as part of the request.  A person has the ability to add attachments to the form in the process but once the form is recalled from the work list and displayed the attachements are missing.

    Hello Guys,
    We are using Adobe forms with ISR framework and facing problems attaching the files  from within the PDF ; using the paper clip icon.
    Once the files are  attached to the PDF form and the form is submitted, attachment disappears from the Form . Instead we have to use a "Attachment Manager" on UWL to attach the files. It is quite Confusing to have a "Paper Clip" button inside the form and also a attachment manager on UWL.
    If anyone faced similiar issue and has solution to fix this, please let me know.
    We are on ECC6 with component SAP_BASIS - 701- 006- SAPKB70106.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards

  • Is there a way to create an email button to multiple addresses within a PDF?

    I have to regularly update a list of committee members and their email addresses which is then sent to all of the members. 
    Does anyone know if there a way of creating a button for each of the committees in the list which, when clicked, creates an email to all the  members contained within that committee?  I will need to add up to 14 email addresses to the one button. I need to know this because the various members in the committees are  fed up of copying and pasting all the email addresses into their email messages.
    I am now using Acrobat XI but I still can't figure out if this is even possible. If not a button, is there some other way of being able to launch an email to multiple addresses within a PDF?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Not really. But you can combine the data from multiple forms into a single (new) spreadsheet via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet...

  • Is it possible to designate stapling when printing a PDF form?

    I am using Adobe Lifecycle Designer (ver. 10.0.1029120306.1.870331) to set up a new report for an SAP application.  I can certainly designate duplex printing from within the form by using Form Properties and the PDF Print Options, but no stapling option can be found.  Is this possible?  Is there a way to set this up from within the PDF form?  If not within the form, what have others found to work for their environment?  We are using Xerox GPD PS printers here and they certainly offer the stapling feature.
    Thanks for any suggestions...Pat

    OK...it has been a wild ride, but between our Basis team and the Server team (which handles our printer drivers), here is what they came up with to enable this feature.  They really put in the time to figure this out.  References to PRD in this document is a reference to our production machine.  ZPMLOCL is a printer type used by our users for printing these work order forms.  A lot of effort was also given to make sure the driver on the printer supported the stapling feature (most do anymore).  This effort is to not only allow stapling, but to also eliminate the pesky banner page which can suddenly start printing with these changes.  We are using Xerox printers in our evironment.
    Steps for Basis Portion of PRD change on the - Standard Work Order Form - shop paper document
    (STMS) Transport device type ZPMHPLJ4 to PRD with Transport
    SPAD
    Change device type of printer ZPMLOCL from SAPWIN to ZPMHPLJ4.
    Click on access method tab and change access method to G: (Front End Printing with Control Tech).
    Confirm the "No device Selection at frontend" checkbox is selected.
    Hit the Save button.
    Copy  zpmhppcl5e.xdc file from AD1 to ADS, in the location below.
      4. SA38/SE38* run program RSPO0022 on PRD and Check to see if transport from step 1 moves the assignment below.
          If not create assignment the same as in the red box  below.
      5. Finally, stop and then start the XML Form Module Java Service in ADS.
    I have no other notes on this setup.  I hope this helps you in your efforts to get the stapling feature up and running on your system.

  • Hyperlink from within a Word Document to a specific page within a PDF document.

    I was hoping that someone would be able to assist me.  I would like to create a hyperlink (used as a citation) on my Word document that opens directly to a specified page within a PDF document (possible other word docs and so on, but less
    often).  How do I go about performing this?  Another note, all the documents would reside within a SharePoint site.

    I am not a Word guru, but I don't think you can run a macro from a hyperlink. But you can create an active X label that runs a macro when clicked. You can use the following macro to go to a specific page in a PDF file.
    Sub OpenPDFPageView(DisplayPage As Integer)
    'In order to use the macro you must enable the Acrobat library from VBA editor:
    'Go to Tools -> References -> Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library, where xx depends
    'on your Acrobat Professional version (i.e. 9.0 or 10.0) you have installed to your PC.
    Dim PDFApp As AcroApp
    Dim PDFDoc As AcroAVDoc
    Dim PDFPageView As AcroAvPageView
    Dim PDFPath As String
    Dim DisplayPage As Integer
    PDFPath = "C:\Users\doudou\documents\test1.pdf"
    'Set the page you want to be displayed
    'DisplayPage = 3
    'Initialize Acrobat by creating App object
    Set PDFApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    'Set AVDoc object
    Set PDFDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
    'Open the PDF
    If PDFDoc.Open(PDFPath, "") = True Then
    PDFDoc.BringToFront
    'Maximize the document
    Call PDFDoc.Maximize(True)
    Set PDFPageView = PDFDoc.GetAVPageView()
    'Go to the desired page
    'The first page is 0
    Call PDFPageView.GoTo(DisplayPage - 1)
    'Set the page view of the pdf
    Call PDFPageView.ZoomTo(2, 50)
    End If
    Set PDFApp = Nothing
    Set PDFDoc = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    'Show the adobe application
