Merge PDF Documents

Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat XI
I have a PDF Cover Letter, containing recipients, created from Word mail merge and using Excel as the datasource. One recipient details per page.
I have another PDF Legal letter, that cannot be edited, and cannot include an address or the normal method of PDF merges, hence the requirement for a cover letter.
Can I create a new merged PDF document, for each recipient / page in the cover letter, and add the Legal letter after each cover page?
Cover_Letter.pdf Legal.pdf
Page 1 - Recipient 1 6 Pages
Page 2 - Recipient 2
Page 3 - Recipient 3
New.pdf
Cover Letter - Recipient 1
Legal Pages
Cover Letter - Recipient 2
Legal Pages
Cover Letter - Recipient 3
Legal Pages
etc!
Many thanks
Larry

Hi Bill
Many thanks for your reply. The Insert option is available, but by the looks of it, it cannot insert the document multiple times. Having to do this manually for the 10 recipients in my test doc is painful enough. The usual recipient list can be 100+!
Cheers
Larry

Can Acrobat Pro X (win) merge pdf documents automatically (command line, watched folders, etc.) ?

Greetings,
I would like to know if there is a way to automatically merge PDF documents so that a script (vbscript, not AutoIT) can be relied upon to merge documents.
Ideally, a command line approach or hot folder is what I am after.
Thank you,
Antoine

You can with vbscript using IAC (InterApplication Communications) if you have Acrobat installed, and you're not using it on a server. More information is in the Acrobat SDK documentation. If you set it up to use a hot folder, only the licensee can be the one dumping the files into it.

Merging pdf documents in Preview while maintaining OCR capability

...isn't working. I can copy text from the individual pdf's, but when I merge them, the OCR text is replaced with "_". This happening to anyone else? This is happening on more than one Mac here at the office.
I'm opening one file, expanding the sidebar, then dragging each subsequent file ONTO the page of the original. Then I save-as and that's the result I'm getting.

Thanks Linc. This document seems a misleading. I'm not sure what the combining of PDFs in this manner is supposed to do, but it does not seem to merge the files.
After the three documents are brought together in one, you end up with three separate documents combined in one Preview window, which is handy for looking at them, but not for much else.
When you close the window you still have three separate documents. The title "Combining PDF documents using Preview" seems quite misleading.

Merge PDF documents into one PDF document

hi expets
I have got an question. I have several different PDFs.
Four main PDF and 20 PDFs which are ment as attachements.
Via ABAP code i would like to chose dynamicaly several of those attachement PDFs and merge them within one of the main forms.
So as result you will have one pdf which you can see in the print preview and send as one to the spool.
But is this possible?
Kindly hear from you!

Hi *,
Add below parameter values in report program in FP_JOB_OPEN function module.
SFPOUTPUTPARAMS-BUMODE = 'M'.
SFPOUTPUTPARAMS-PREVIEW = ' '.
Call different adobe forms without using FP_JOB_CLOSE.
It will merge pdf files.
At the end, call FP_JOB_CLOSE.
and then get the merged pdf as FPFORMOUTPUT-pdf.
Thank you.

OutOfMemoryError when merging PDF document

Sir,
We are facing problem while merging the PDF files (using iText 1.1)

Batch match merge pdf documents from different sources

Hello,
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro and I'm new to Acrobat in general.
I have 500 clients who I want to send hard copy reports. There are 500 pdf files with graphs/data, and 500 pdf files that are customized business letters. They could be printed out and hand collated but I would like to automate a merge of the graphs pdf, and the letter pdf, for each client.
There is flexibility in how the files can be named, if that data can be used to match.
Any help would be appreciated.

Without seeing the documents it's not really possible to diagnose what the issue might be. You can try running Preflight on your documents to see if they meet the specification or have problems that Preflight can find. It may not find all of them. The best way to make sure that you have document links that work is to do the combining on a single platform and then build your bookmarks from there. Acrobat has some great abilities but there are several third party plug-ins that add bookmark features (i.e. Evermap Autobookmark ) that Acrobat doesn't have so you can look for things like that to aid you in buiding a complex bookmarked document. Good luck!

I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

Pat:
Below is a copy of an 8/7/2013 email from adobe. I prepaid a one-year subscription, and, until I recently upgraded to Windows 8, I was able to make several dozens of merged pdf documents. I seem to be no longer able to use the merge feature that I had successfully and repeated used. When I search for the merge feature I end up with a request that I pay for an upgrade monthly subscription to use the merge feature.

BI Publisher Merge PDF and print documents through Java

We need our reports in merged and printed (collated). Is this possible with BI Publisher . If yes, how?
The reports will be called from Java. So far I found the Web Service provided by BI Publisher handy in printing and creating reports but not combine them.
Thanks in advance.

Display only 1 record using uploaded PDF document from 3rdparty Website

Hi,
Any help will be very much appreciated....
I'm trying to create my first BI publisher report using a PDF document from 3rd party website. I want to populate the name from EMP table to one of the fields in the PDF doc.
Here's the steps I've done:
1. Created and saved a data set using only the ENAME column of EMP table. 14 records are available from the table.
2. Run xml output and then save as sample data.
3. Downloaded the PDF doc from the 3rd party website (government form - US Custom Form 7512).
4. Using Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, I mapped the element name (ENAME) from my input XML file to the Name field.
<output type="data-structure" >
<dataStructure tagName="DATA_DS">
<group name="G_2" source="Employee" label="G_2" >
<element name="ENAME" value="ENAME" dataType="xsd:string" label="ENAME" breakOrder="None" fieldOrder="1"/>
</group>
</dataStructure>
</output>
5. Uploaded the revised PDF document to BI publisher.
6. Created and saved the report.
7. When I viewed the report in PDF, only 1 page is displayed. I'm expecting to see 14 pages because I have 14 records from the table EMP.
Any report properties that I need to change to allow me to view all the records from the EMP table?
Version of BI and Adobe
Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0
Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4

There could be an issue with the Loop. I guess your Template is looking at the first record only and not reading through all the records.
Try to get the BI Publisher Desktop tool. Using this tool you can merge PDF document and XML to see the output from your local PC/Laptop. It will be easy for you to debug.

Which product do I purchase???? - Creating a merged PDF report from excel with cover page

Hi Guys,
I work in the BI field and have created a pdf document using PDFCreator and another third part scripting tool called jpdfbookmarks.
We have delivered something to the client but the quality of the output ( not the best) and the time it takes to cycle through each page ( when being viewed) within the merged
pdf document takes a little time...
So my boss as asked me to explore something within the Adobe suite of products BUT.... i have no idea which one i should choose.
My requirements are as follows:
To deliever this report to the client the program needs to be able to do the following:
1) convert excel files to pdf
2) take these individually created converted excel to pdf converted files and and merge them into 1 document
3) within this merged document have the abilty to be able to bookmark each page
4) have a cover page with hyperlinks
5) and finally but most important of all to be able perform steps 1 to 4 above programatically through scripting language vb script / vba
nice to haves:
6) abilty to email each merged doc to list of email address
7) abilty to edit document to add in hyperlinks etc
Need to get an understanding of costs ie
1) how much per licence
2) what product with have all the features above and how much
Can anyone please be kind enough to point me in the right direction as to what product would be best suited?? Being able
to scipt a solution together is key.
Cheers

You can do everything except the cover page with Adobe Acrobat (Standard or Pro). There are demos on our website that you can install and try out. You will need the SDK documentation and sample code to learn how to automate/program.

Merge pdf files in preview

I must be missing something. I've read the instructions for merging pdf documents in Preview, but it's just not working. Wants me to "duplicate" a file or something. This seems very un-Mac-like. I get 2 documents open, drag the thumbnails from one into another, one at a time, and then try to "Save As". Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong? I'm using Lion.
TIA!

This is because of the new versioning.
As I recall this is what I did.
Start with a new, blank preview page and then drag the other pdfs onto the blank form.
I am not sure how I created the new blank page. I may have created it with Adobe first.
It seems that one cannot use Preview alone to open a new blank pdf.
Now when you click Save you should be asked for a new name.
Otherwise, I think that preview will overwrite one of the other pdf files with the new files.
It's a bit confusing - I suggest experimenting with a few "scrap" pdf files first.
I wish Apple would put back the old "Save as" function. It is so much clearer and intuitive than the current scheme where often one has to search for the location of the file once it goes away.

Open PDF document with a click of a button

Hello All,
I am trying to open a pdf document which is located on the Unix server when a button is clicked. The Button is of Item Style 'Button', the file is at a location for example /tmp/user/.
Can anyone please suggest with some already existing examples. I looked for a few in the OTN forums but everything was pointing to involving BI Publisher. But my requirement is to open an already existing document with a click of a button.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Kris

Wahid,
Thanks, the button is not only opening the document but before that the button click should merge the Pdf documents into one. The PDF merge is happening, but when I have a URL in the button its killing the merge functionality.
I used the HttpServletResponse and servletoutput stream to open the merged PDF document. Its working on my local machine, I need to try it on the server.
I was trying to use the XMLIMporter command to upload the OAF oage which already exists in the server. But this did not work for me. Since I am new to OAF may be Im missing something. Below is the XMLIMporter command.
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter SearchPG.xml -username apps -password pwd -dbconnection " (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=hostname.com)(PORT=1111))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ora_sid)))" -rootdir $JAVA_TOP -rootPackage /Server/apps/comn/java/classes/customDir/module/page/webui/
The Search Page is in /customDir/module/page/webui/ this folder. Is Framework bounce needed in this case.
Thanks again.
Kris

Merging PDFs

I think I remember that Preview in 10.5 has the ability to merge pdf files, but I can't figure out how to do it. Can somebody tell me?

I do not find any merge facility in Preview, although you can add blank pages to a document, then use copy/paste to copy from another document. A better solution is to use an application that can do what your want - PDF Clerk Pro and/or PDF Pen Pro can merge PDF documents. PDFMergeX only merges documents but it is also freeware. Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
