Master pdf from multiple smaller pdf files

I know that I can merge several pdf files into one larger file and I am having to do so because of a footer that has to be on every single page. My question is.. can I create a "master" pdf which is made up of the other pdf files so that if one is edited it will automatically update the master pdf. I am able to do this when creating solid models in solid works, when i edit the solid it updates the drawing that it is linked to. Thank you for any help/advice.

However you can create a new PDF (just a print probably, not PDF Maker) of the document and if the page size is the same you can use Replace Pages to insert it into the master document. The markup will not change. (If you use PDF Maker, I am not sure what happens with the markup.)

Create an US Letter sized PDF from a smaller PDF

I have PDFs created in Illustrator, ranging in size from 2X2 to 4X7 and I want to be able to open them in a 8.5 X 11 PDF document. If I could do this consistently I would then be able to add the 8.5 X 11 Background needed for the finished document. I want to be able to open these PDFs into the 8.5 X 11 size to avoid cutting and pasting them into the 8.5 X 11 size PDF because copy and past in Acrobat often destroys transparency. Also, I'm in CS3 so I can't really add a second Artboard to archive this.

If you crop pages so that there is no extra whitespace in fact there is a checkbox for that on the Crp menu that opens.
Then when you go to print choose :
Click on Page scaling and set to desired. make sure auto rotate and center is checked it will add the proper amount of white space right,left,top,bottom.

Creating one large pdf from 2 smaller pdfs

Is there a way to do this in Acrobat 7? I have several single pages which are 6" x 10.5" which I want to create reader spreads with.
thanks

The short answer is "No." To do this, you should place the two pages into InDesign, and make a new PDF.
Or you should acquire a PDF imposition plug-in. To find them, you could do a Google search for "PDF imposition".

Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process.

Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process. I have a client application which will prepare number of source files and some meta data information (in .XML) which will be used in header/footer. Is it possible to put a run time generated DDX file in the watch folder and use it in Process. If possible how can I pass the file names in the DDX. Any sample Process will be very helpful.

If possible, make use of Assembler API in your client application instead of doing this using watched folder. Here are the Assembler samples : LiveCycle ES2.5 * Programming with LiveCycle ES2.5
Watched folder can accept zip files (sample : Configuring a watched folder to handle multiple input files and write results to a single folder | Adobe LiveCycle Blog ). You can also use execute script to create the DDX at runtime : LiveCycle ES2 * Application Development Using LiveCycle Workbench ES2

Create multiple PDFs from multiple files

Hi everyone
I'm trying to use the "Create multiple PDFs from multiple files" function in Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.4.6) to create about 100 PDFs from InDesign CS5 files. Theoretically this would do the trick for my purpose. BUT: When running the function, it does not use the CS5 InDesign (version 7.0.3), but tries to open the files with InDesign CS3. Of course this does not work. We, as a professional working agency, have installed CS3, CS4 and CS5. Even with making the InDesign CS3 .app invisible an pushing it into the garbage bin during the process did not work. Acrobat still wants to access InDesign CS3. It is not possible to downgrade the files to CS3 files, for there are special (i.e. interactive) functions which only work in CS5. It would be more work than creating the PDFs manually, anyways.
Does anyone have similar issues? Any ideas how to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

OK, cool, I found one, which seems to work just fine.

Create PDF from Multiple Files Error

Running Acrobat 8.1.2 and InDesign CS3 8.0.2
When trying to create a PDF from multiple files, I am getting an error with each file as it is opened by Acrobat to create the PDF file. The error reads:
Invalid value for parameter 'using' of event 'exportFile'. Expected PDFExportPreset, but received "Standard".
The files are also left open in InDesign afterward instead of being closed. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks.

Problem creating pdf from multiple files

Hello,
I'm running Windows XP SP3 with Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.2.1. When I try to create a one pdf from multiple files in Adobe Standard 8.2.1 the application just closes. The two files I'm trying to combine into 1 pdf file are word files. I'm able to create a single pdf of each word file by opening them separately in word and sending them to the acrobat printer. I've tried combining other files also, but had no luck. Windows events doesn't log anything under applications and no error message pops up when the application closes.
Anybody have any ideas how to troubleshoot this issue or what could be causing the applicaton to just close?

I've read many discussions about Acrobat and problems with server files, with the general solution being what you are doing... copy the files to a local hard drive

Hi Rich,
The combine files feature isn't available when you're using Reader for iOS. However, you can log on to the web interface at Adobe Acrobat.com using your Adobe ID and credentials, and use the Combine Files feature there.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

My Acrobat 8 Pro is failing to print to a pdf from multiple software. I get an error message that a repair fixes but only for a little while. Pretty soon the trial version of 9 that I installed pops up telling me it has expired but it would take me to a way to buy a valid serial number and then 8 stops working again. I’d be happy if the 8 I paid for worked right or I could get 9 for a small cost but I cannot afford $450 or $20/month. I need a permanent solution that I should be already paid for with 8 pro.

After multiple repair procedures with reboot in AA8 I was eventually able to restore the printing to pdf function from various software. However I have again lost my Acrobat tab in Outlook 2007. I need that back, but today an even bigger problem arose. AA8 has stopped printing to fax. It faxes a blank page. The only fax printing option is “Microsoft Shared Fax Driver”. My fax software is “Windows Fax and Scan” and it was working fine just a couple weeks ago. My OS is Windows 7 Professional.
I have tried doing the updates you referred to but I get error messages like these:
“No qualifying products found to apply this update, or update has been already applied”
or
“The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing , or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.”

Acrobat 7.0 Pro on Vista freezes when PDF from Multiple

I try to create a PDF from multiple files and Acrobat just sits there looking stupid. I've checked for updates - Fully updated. It's from my CS2 Premium Professional edition. I have it installed on a Dell e1705 with Vista Home. Dual Processor, but still a 32 bit system. 2GB of ram and a 256 memory card.
I look at the Task manager and the program is using about 22mb of memory. After I select the create PDF form multiple files the program stops like it is about to do something. Vista doesn't register the program as not responding so it's doing something. The CPU usage is at about 50% and stays that way for at least 15 minutes. I just got tired of waiting and closed it in the task manager.
How do I fix this?

It is interesting that you say it is an Adobe bug (or at least that is the implication I got). Part of the problem with VISTA has been that there are a lot of programs that do not work. That is also why many businesses and individuals are still using XP and refused to upgrade. VISTA has a service pack out, but I hear it still has lots of problem. MS has fixed VISTA where there own software was concerned, such as putting the help system back in that they had removed. I am not trying to say that VISTA is not the way to go, but that the blame for things not working should not be put on other software developers.
The $1500 must be for CS, since an upgrade to AA8 from AA7 is only $159. In today's market, AA7 is actually an old man with AA8 being out for quite a while. Six months ago you could still get XP Pro for about $190. I understand it is now almost $800, but I really don't track the prices. I am getting a new machine with VISTA on it in a week or two and plan to look at it a bit (called give it a chance). However, I fully expect to remove VISTA and install XP Pro. To me, that cost is a lot better than upgrading all of my software because of the changes in Windows.
So which system has the bug, Adobe or VISTA. I think you will find a lot of folks who say it is VISTA (that is not to say that Adobe doesn't have some issues also). Hope you get your system working satisfactorily.

Creating a single pdf from multiple pdfs - linking to original pdfs

I have been asked to create a PDF document from other, smaller PDFs. The individual PDFs, which I am using to create the larger PDF, are maintained on a shared network drive. I am using Acrobat Pro XI and dragging the files onto the thumbnail navigation pane and creating bookmarks. The result is to be a navigatable document with a table of contents. My problem is that the individual files from the network drive will change. Ideally, I would like the large document I am creating to update automaticaly when the individual files are changed. Does anyone know of a tool I can use to link in this way? I have Tech Comm Suite 4.
Thanks,
Mary

Acrobat 8 - Create PDF from multiple images, they all come in bigger dimension

I have 9 TIFFS that are 1000 x 750 in size, 72 DPI. This is confirmed when I open them up in Photoshop. When I create a PDF from multiple files in Acrobat, they all come in much bigger in dimension. The resulting PDF is very big in dimensions.
I have searched the Internet and searched the Help/Manual and can't seem to fix this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Scot

Scot,
Try going to Acrobat > Preferences > Page Display > Resolution and reset to 72 pixels / inch. I hope that helps!

When printing to PDF from webpage, the pdf is compressed on the bottom of each page and markedly smaller print. How do I correct this?

When printing to PDF from webpage, the pdf is compressed on the bottom of each page and with markedly smaller print, the top of the page is fine. How do I correct this?

Open Contacts and click Preferences on the menu named Contacts. On the General tab of the Preferences window, select Show First Name: Before Last Name and then print. You can change that Preference back to the other way after printing if desired.

Hi Frans van Meeuwen,
Do I understand correctly that you have a printed PDF and want to get it back on your computer as a PDF file? If so, you could scan that document, save it as an image file, then use Acrobat or Adobe PDF Pack to convert the scanned file to PDF. Some scanning software saves directly to PDF, and if you don't have a scanner, I'm sure you could have it done at a local copy shop.
I hope that helps.
Best,
Sara
