Merging 2 documents

I have 1 large pages document and a smaller one that features a large number of charts. I Find when I copy and paste I can get the text but the charts are not coming over. I started to do each item and gave up - there are jjust too many charts and images.
is there an easy way to merge the two docs ?

You will have to do it manually, but you can do it whole sections at a time.
Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file & paste. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

How can I merge two documents in Pages 5.2?

I am created a lab manual for my classes and each individual lab is a separate pages file. It is now time to merge the documents so that the page numbering updates itself and print to PDF to be published. How do I do that? I've read online that pages 09 would allow you copy paste thumbnails from one document to another but pages 5.2 doesn't seem to allow for that. Help!

That's right. Use Pages '09.
You can export to Pages '09 from Pages 5.2.

How to merge multiple documents via command line (Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.2)?

I'm searching solutions to merge multiple documents (all stored in one folder) via command line or batch file to a single PDF-File...
Is there a way to do this?
Finaly I want to control this from a application written in MS-Access. So, perhaps there are some features already integrated in Access to do this?
Thanks for answer!

If you have some programming experience you could probably do this using VBA from within MS Access to control Acrobat via OLE.
Lots of examples on the Web.
Hope this helps

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

How to mail merge a document with in database?

Dear All,
I would like to know how to implement mail merge functionality in side pl/sql body. I could open, edit a document using the package ORDWord. Morethan, that anybody know, how to merge the documents ?
Or please let me know any other workaround apart from this?
Regards
Balaji

Hi,
There are tow ways :
The first one is :
- load the list of tables of the Database in a Vector for exemple by using methode DatabaseMetaData.getTables () and you can test if the table exist or not in the vector by using methode Vector.contains(Object o).
The code seems Like that :
// Loading List Of Tables
// you need to load the list of tables at the begening of
// your class
Vector listOfTables = new Vector();
try
rs = yourConnection.getMetaData().getTables();
while (rs.next())
listOfTables.addElement(rs.getString(3));
catch(SQLException exp)
// When you need to test the existance of table name
// you add this line
if(listOfTables.contains(tableName))
// your code
The second one :
try
//execute your query
catch
//Create your default JTable
I hope that my response can help you!
Ciaou,
Anis

What product do you recommend if I need to merge different documents & email forms to fill out?

What product do you recommend if I need to merge different documents & email forms to fill out?

What kind of documents?
What are "email forms"?
If you mean PDF files, use Acrobat or the CreatePDF service.

Merging XML documents using DOM

I have 300 XML documents to merge. They contain structures such as:
1.xml=
<MIM>
<MIM-ENTRY>
<MIM-NUMBER>123456
</MIM-NUMBER>
</MIM-ENTRY>
</MIM>
2.xml =
<Mim>
-<Mim-entry>
<Mim-title>*604176 SUPPRESSOR OF CYTOKINE SIGNALING 3</Mim-title>
</Mim-entry>
</Mim>
3.xml=
<Mim>
<Mim-entry>
<Mim-alternative_titles_and_symbols>
<Mim-alternative_titles_and_symbols-alt>SOCS3</Mim-alternative_titles_and_symbols-alt>
</Mim-alternative_titles_and_symbols>
</Mim-entry>
</Mim>
all the XML files have this sort of structure.
Essentailly, I need to merge them (using the above as an example) to get:
<MIM>
<MIM-ENTRY>
<MIM-NUMBER>123456</MIM-NUMBER>
<Mim-title>*604176 SUPPRESSOR OF CYTOKINE SIGNALING 3</Mim-title>
<Mim-alternative_titles_and_symbols>
<Mim-alternative_titles_and_symbols-alt>SOCS3</Mim-alternative_titles_and_symbols-alt>
</Mim-alternative_titles_and_symbols>
</Mim-entry>
</MIM>
I have all the trees stored in a Vector as DOM objects.
Anyone have any ideas how to merge these documents as stated?
Any help would be most appriciated

Ah, think im begining to get you. And if I am undertstanding you correctly it might not solve my problem.
Ok, so the files exist as follows:
file1.xml
<MIN>
<MIM-1>
<MIM-2>something
</MIM-2>
</MIM-1>
</MIM>
file2.xml
<MIN>
<MIM-1>
<MIM-3>somethingelse
</MIM-3>
</MIM-1>
</MIM>
merged to give:
<MIN>
<MIM-1>
<MIM-2>something
</MIM-2>
<MIM-3>somethingelse
</MIM-3>
</MIM-1>
</MIM>
SO....
I have to bring out the nodes <MIM-2> from file1.xml and import them. in file2 appendChild will be applied to <MIM1> using those nodes.
This is really not what i was looking for.
I wanted to throw everything together. Reason? I will be merging over 300 xml documents all of which will be inserting elements at different depths. This method you describe (i think) will need the specific nodes to be extracted from each and every DOM structure. This might not be possible as the XML stuctures will change depend on the program circumstances.
I would like to just to put all the DOMS together and Tags of the same name will simply merge. to give the output above.
Or does method you descibed this actually do this?
I apologise for my stupidity in advance.

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.

Merge two Documents

Is there a way to merge to documents like (I hate to say it) Word for Windows does? I think that the only things that would be merged or the comments. Are "comments" fields or ...
Really that's all I want to merge are the comments from two separate docs. Can it be done?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You can copy & paste sections from the thumbnails pane of one document into the thumbnail pane another to combine the two. Comments or footnotes would also be moved but you may have to "show comments" for them to be visible. I do know that headers & footers don't move.

Signature disappear when i merge the documents

Hi everyone,
I have a problem, a big problem with adobe. When i merge some documents, all the electronic signature disappear. It's umbelivable because PDF Creator can do it.
So does anybody know why the electronic signature disappear.
Just to explain, the electronic signature is at the bottom on the right in the document.
Thanks !
Regards

Any change to a PDF file (except adding a new signature) will invalidate an
existing signature, as it should be.
Imagine you sign a contract and then someone adds a bunch of new pages to
it, with clauses you haven't even read... You would probably not be so
happy if your signature was automatically applicable to those pages as
well, no? Fortunately, with digital signatures it automatically gets
removed when that happens.

HT4075 I don't have any problems merging the documents by dragging, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I tried save and export, how can I create the file after merging?

Hi, I'm having trouble saving the documents when merging in Preview. I don't have any problems merging the pdf documents by dragging them in preview, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I've tried save and export, but none merge the documents after saving... how can I create the file (with all the pdf files) after merging?

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

Merging Signed Documents

How do I merge a document without adobe removing the signature? I think it used to work on older versions but with 9.2 I cannot merge and retain the signature. It works if I create a portfolio which I'm trying to avoid.
Thanks,

Not possible.

Unable to merge word documents

When attempting to merge word documents an error occurs.
"There were errors encountered while combining files. Do you want to open the combined file or return to the file list and try again?"
In the merge list, they show up as a red X as status "Error (file skipped)"
Computer is Windows 7 Pro, fully patched and joined to a domain.
Word is version 2007 (fully patched on SP3)
Adobe is version X Pro (10.1.13)
Adobe X Pro and Microsoft Office has been reinstalled. A full virus scan has been done, nothing found. A clean up of registry has been done with ccleaner.
File location does not matter, I have tested locally and through a network share. The files open in word no problem and can be converted to PDF from word without issue. The issue persists in all user accounts so its computer wide.
All other files merge fine, only Word is effected.

Are you able to convert these files to PDF on their own?

Merging 2 documents, and keep the layers structure

Here's my problem :
my workmates and me are working on seperate files (.ai) for our projects, then, we use to merge our document in one main document to save the final project and to make the exports.
BUT, i found nothing in illustrator or on the web about how merging and keep the structure. And on our project, we have a loooot of layers, and it's barely impossible to copy/paste each layer at once. (i'm sure a bunch of you had this problem once.)
On photoshop, it's quite simple, you can export some layers/group in a new document or in a opened.
So i'd like to know if any of you have a solution (if i'm not understood, i can try to explain better my problem), or if it's a known issue (and if the next version will do it well !!!).
Thanks a lot for any answer that will help me <3

First check that the layer structure is identical in both files, both the layer options and the layer stacking order.
Now check Paste Remembers Layers in the layers palette.
Then you can copy and paste between files and things will stack into their correct layers.

Merging word document with pdf file how do you renumber pages?

After merging a word document with pdf file, how do you renumber pages? The pdf has more pages than the word document. I first converted the word document to a pdf, using Acrobat Standard 9.

Hi Petek ,
After you merge the files or combine files ,click on the Page Thumbnails panel on the left hand side.
In the Page Thumbnail panel ,right click and you will get a drop down list .Select the option "Number Pages".
You will see a dialog box with several options .You can renumber the pages from there as per your requirement.

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.
