IWork-pages and Prepress PDF files

I work in the prepress end of printing monthly magazines. When printing to 4 color presses the layouts need to follow the press quality standards. When make a PDF file from a page layout app it needs to follow PDF/X-1a standards.
This means when placing photos in a layout they need to be CMYK color space and not RGB and I personally prefer .tif or .eps files at 300 dpi placed in the layout at 100%.
There is a lot more to PDF/X-1a standard. Acrobat 6.5 Pro Distiller has a Job setting for making PDF/X-1a PDF files. Acrobat 6.5 Pro also has a Preflight to see if a PDF has been made to follow these standards
Here is link to a 17 page PDF on PDF/X-1a files
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/printresourcecenter/PDFX.pdf
I am aways telling customers that they need to re-do there PDF files with the PDF/X-1a standards
I have never used Pages and I don't now if Pages has an export as PDF or PDF/X-1a setting?

Hi Ric,
I'm not having a particular problem with "pdf" files at this point, but I will be developing "pdf" documents for one of my clients by using Pages. So far in test runs, it has proven to work just fine.
I am interested in your comments about PDF-X files and how to produce them. In my case, when I select File>Print, I just have a button to create a "pdf" file. There is no list with PDF-X as an option. I am using 10.3.9 and your profile indicates you are using 10.2.x. Do know if the "pdf" produced by using the print dialog "button" in 10.3.9 is PDF-X?
Thanks
Andy H

I am trying to delete pages from a PDF file. I opened the bookmarks, selected the pages to delete and choose Edit Delete. The selected pages are not deleted. Note: I have to open the file using a passport provided by an external party.

Adobe CreatePDF Basic version - deleting pages in PDF and combining PDF files

Does the Adobe CreatePDF Basic version allow for pages to be deleted in a PDF file and for PDF files to be combined? Thanks.

Deletion, no.
Combination of up to 10, I believe so.

I have a Macbook Pro using the 10.7.4 version. I recently bought a Brother HL-5470DWT Laser Printer. I can't seem to tell the printer to print multiple size pages in my pdf files.
No matter what I do it still prints all the documents as 8.5x11! It isn't pulling the paper from both printer trays.

I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
== When I download and try to read a .pdf file and when I am asked to turn off all Firefox files and if I do, I lose them since I need to know how to save them without rebooting my computer.

Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

How can I store and share PDF files via iCloud?

I am trying to use iCloud to store and share PDF files from my PC, iPad2 and iPhone 4S... They are supposedly supported. I can share .docs, .xls, etc.... However, I cannot figure out how to share a pdf!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can download an iWork document from iCloud as a PDF, but you can't share a PDF document with iWork apps on iOS devices.

Open specific page in a PDF file?

Hi!
I wonder it it's possible to link or set parameters so that the user ends up on the correct page in a PDF file. Lets say that I would like to link to chapter 3 in a large PDF file. Is this possible in the DMS?
I can't use TREX for indexing because that's not implemented.
Best Regards,
Kristoffer Pehrson

hi,
Instandard SAP DMS, u con't link like what u explained. fro that sap made an option. U could utiliz DIR key's 'PART' u can use as many as sheets of PDF as ur DIR.
One more thing i think u misunderstanding SAP DMS, it is a tool deals Thechnical document and is used in PLM area. in integrates SAP logistics.
Ucould use SAP Archive LIkn for this purpose. or u coud split PDF before link into DMS.

How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf file using the PIXMA MG7520 on Windows 8.0? Please help!

I recently received a PIXMA MG7520 for a gift. It works great with my lenovo laptop/tablet running on Windos 8.0. The one drawback to the HP all-in-one that it replaced is it does not have an ADF. That being said, there must be some way to scan multiple pages into one pdf file. I need help figuring thing out. Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Hi mdtolbert54,
There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning multiple pages into a single PDF document. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it.
3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window.
5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
6. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save the changes. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
7. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Scanned items are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
If you find that you need advanced scanning options such as adjusting resolution, brightness, contrast, saturation, color balance, etc. in addition to the options selected above, please click on the SCANGEAR button on the IJ Scan Utility Main screen, then adjust the items as necessary.
Once the items above are set for document scanning, in the future, you will only need to launch the IJ Scan Utility, then press the DOCUMENT button to perform the scan (unless you want to make changes to the settings).
Hope this helps!

How do I re-sequence pages in a pdf file, which is in booklet format?

I have a pdf file which is an A5 booklet in duplex for-printing order, with two A5 pages printed on one A4 area. I want to re-sequence these pages to simple ascending page number order, for reading online. How do I do it?
The first A4 page of my pdf file consists of A5 page 1 on left and A5 page 48 on right, followed by the second A4 page consisting of A5 page 47 on left and A5 page 2 on right, and so on. [I can print this out OK as a booklet, except that the second A4 page, etc. is upside down.]
Do I need to take the crude, grunt approach and cut and paste each A5 page, one at a time, into a new document? I am using Acrobat XI Pro

You can reorder pages by dragging them to new positions in the Pages pane on the left.

Safari 4.0.3 hangs every time I try to print a web page to a pdf file.

Hi. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and whether or not they have found a fix for it. Every time I try to print a web page to a pdf file from Safari (v4.0.3 running under Snow Leopard 10.6.1), Safari hangs and I have to force quit the program. The pdf is saved successfully, but the browser hangs immediately after the file has been created.
The problem is very consistent - every time I try to print a web page to a pdf file, the browser hangs. Anyone else have the same problem? Thanks.

Hi,
Try Safari maintenance.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Mac OS: Web Browser Quits Unexpectedly or Stops Responding
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
Also, try clearing the printers print queue.

For this i found xsl file and it's config under the following locations
/libs/cq/config/rewriter/pdf/transformer-xslt --config of source

For custamising this functionality i copied both confing node and xsl file under "/apps" .In the Config file i changed source to refer xsl file under /apps.But it's not taking config changes.

Function Module to determine the number of pages in a pdf file

Hi All,
Is there any standard function module to determine the number of pages in a pdf file?
Thanks,
Sai

Hi unk2,
There's no functionality in the Acrobat.com online services to do a character count. But, you could use ExportPDF to convert your PDF file to Word format, and then do your character count in Word.
Please let us know if you need additional assistance.
Best,
Sara
