Multiple first pages
I have about 20 documents in which the content only changes on the first page. The other 5 pages the content is exactly the same. I was wondering what is the best way to manage this. I'm using InDesign CS4.

Unfortunately it is the content text the changes. I would have to have 20 different master pages just for the first page. Maybe layers would work. I need to look into that more. I watched a video on the Conditional text feature - that seems more for when you have only small various of text. In my documents the text is very different from each version on just that one page.

Extracting the first page of multiple PDFs & saving them as jpegs.
Dear all,
First post - hope its in the right place.
I work in Publishing, and I have been given the following task - I have about 400 ebooks, all in pdf format, and my task is to extract the cover from every one of them (which is the first page of every pdf) and export them all as separate jpeg files (file names can remain exactly the same - ie, the name of the pdf book will be the same as the jpeg file). So I will end up with 400 ebooks and 400 jpegs of their covers.
Anyone have any idea how to do this ?
i have Windows and acrobat 8
I have looked at batch processing in acrobat, but the option to extract the first page of multiple pdf files is not one of the options. there is an option to create your own script which im guessing is my best bet ? (hence why i have posted my question here) Though I don't have the first clue about this. Have done some google searches, and some people have created similar things, but I cant seem to get them to work.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Richok, i have found a set of acrobat batch sequence and come across the following :
Batch sequence name: Extract Pages to Folder.sequ. Task: For each file from the selected files, extract each of its pages and save the extracted pages to a particular folder.
Example 2.10 Insert navigation icons
/* Extract Pages to Folder */
// A regular expression to acquire the base name of the file.
var re = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var filename = this.path.replace(re,"");
try
for ( var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++ )
this.extractPages
nStart: i,
cPath: "/C/temp/myDocs/"+filename+"_"+i+".pdf" // change this });
catch (e)
console.println("Batch Aborted: " + e )
looks like i need something like this, but tried the above earlier, and couldnt get it to work (prob cause I didnt replace the words exactly correctly). I am guessing that i am entering this in the correct place though (ie - create new sequence, and got into the script editor box) -
My MacBook pro mid 2012 doesn't seem to have a "save as" function, so I can't seem to save multiple page pdf's together after moving thumbnails into the sidebar. It only saves the first page.
I do have a 2008 version of Microsoft Office installed to save money, but that shouldn't affect things. I can't figure out the "rename" function either. Help?Oh, and I also reset my NVRAM, my computer hasn't frozen again yet, so I'm not sure if it has made a difference.

Header line only prints on first page of multiple page document
Hi, I've created a SmartForms table and it has the Header, Main, and Footer sections. I've created table lines for the Header and Main sections. In the Header section, I've checked 'at Start of Table' and 'at Page Break'. The form prints multiple pages fine, BUT the header line only prints on the first page and not at any of the multiple page breaks.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this?
Thanks,Hi,
Remove that 'at Start of Table' check box and check it.

is the printer unrepairable?Hi!
Thanks for the reply. I changed the settings of the printer to 'Pass Copies as Separate Output Request(in SAP System)' and re-tried printing 5 copies of the BOL and it again seems to print the first page 5 sides then Terms and conditions on 5 sides, then again 5 sides of page 2 and followed by 5 sides of T&C.
My settings on the smartforms is front page "D' and the back and the Last page is blank setting. This runs well when I just have to print one copy of my BOL , it prints the front page and then T&C on its back side , then again the second page and T&C on its back . This only messes when its more than one copy of the set of BOL.
Please suggest as to what to do next to make it print in proper sets.
Thanks and Regards

I'm trying to print a multiple page document from my ipad using an AirPrint printer. Only the first page is printing. Please help. The printer works correctly with my desktop and laptop.
What version of iOS are you using? Some people were having this problem before, and it was fixed when they updated to iOS 5.

Hello. When trying to forward a multiple page PDF document, only the first page appears. Does anyone know how to fix this. TY
Are you sure? I believe the mail program only previews the first page for you, but sends the whole attachment. Try opening the attachment (e.g., select and hit spacebar for a preview of the whole thing, or by double-clicking it, or control-clicking then "Open...") You should see the whole document.

How can I print only the first page of multiple PDF files at once in my PC?
That is, without having to open each file individually.
Thanks!Create an Action with the following JS command:
this.print({bUI: false, nStart: 0});
This will cause the first page of all the files you process with this Action to be sent to your default printer.
If you need to specify more complex parameters, you'll need to use a more complex code... -
How do I print only the first page of multiple PDF documents?
I have about 1,500 PDF files (scientific papers) that I need to print only the first page of... Any suggestions on how to do this as a single job or as a few jobs? The files are organized in a bunch of different folders, so if there was some way to do this folder by folder, that would be ok too. Thanks!
Make sure that in System Preferences Printing & Fax pane you set the default printer to the one you want to use, then put all of these PDF files into their own folder, then open terminal and type the following (without hitting return afterward):
lpr -o page-ranges="1-1"
Then drag one of the PDF files into the terminal window (it will add it's path to the end of your command) and replace the file name with *.pdf, so it will look like this:
lpr -o page-ranges="1-1" /Users/todd/Documents/My\ Folder/*.pdf
Then hit return. -
My fi-5220c scanner which i use with Adobe Acrobat Standard X does scans with garbled first page. What am i doing wrong? I use custom scan option. thanks MK
Firstly, there's no such thing as Apache 9.3, there's Apache 1 (and subversions) and Apache 2 (and subversions). Your error message -
Oracle-HTTP-Server/1.3.28Shows you're using Apache 1.3.28
Secondly, I'm confused by your comment -
I do not have Apache 9.3 or higher but I think oracle should offer this in its companion CDOracle does offer the Apache server, if you're saying you didn't get it from Oracle then where did your Apache server come from?
Thirdly, I notice from your config file -
ErrorLog "|E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache\bin\rotatelogs logs/error_log 43200"That you're piping the logs through rotatelogs, are you sure the logfiles haven't just been renamed? -
Printing only first page of multiple PDF's
I need to be able to process a stack of PDF documents.
What I need: to always print-out only the first page of all documens.
These are invoices with sometimes 5 pages, sometimes 2....but I only need to archive the frontpage.
So: opening each of these maybe 100 documents and always only print the first page manually seems a bit like "nonsense" to me.
Could do this on a friends machine who has an Acrobat Pro X installed.
Help appreciated
AnnaGreat! Many thanks

I have set the print settings to "Ignore scaling and Fit to Page" and it seems to work only for the first page of a multi-page webpage or email chain. Nothing I've done seems to fix it. I've set the print settings to 90% scale in page set-up in order to print FedEx online waybills properly, but I can't seem to solve the other problems.
Doc: I've had a similar experience, and here are the details, investigation, and a workaround. My printer is a Brother MFC-645CN, and I'm using Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on a 2010 iMac quad i5 connected to the printer over my ethernet LAN. Are you using a Brother printer?
Firefox has shown this kind of nasty issue for the past six months or so. It seems to be related to the imaging algorithms in Preview when dealing with Firefox (now at v.12) and the Brother printer -- the screwy second page (and beyond) show up skewed and up-sized when doing a print preview also. No such problem seen in Safari or anything else. I am not currently using any other Mozilla apps on this Mac besides Firefox.
A few months ago I tested printing from my administrator account and a different user account. Firefox printing was completely normal and as expected. When I went back to my main user account, back came the funky second page.I went through extensive troubleshooting to try to chase it down, systematically removing and replacing apps and preferences and many other Library files related to printing, Brother drivers, Firefox, and Preview. Nothing helped. Solution was to migrate my user files to an account where the printing problem wasn't happening. I deleted the problem user account.
Everything was fine for about three weeks, and then with no warning, printing was back to the bad second page, just as before. I am stumped, and I'll let smarter people try to figure it out. I use Firefox a lot, and it's possible that some add-on setting is interfering, or a web page I visited turned the printing funky again. I just don't know.
Also checked on a Mac G4 running Leopard (10.5.8) and Firefox 3.6.28. No printing/preview problems there.
Now, for the work-around I am currently using -- print each page separately, one at a time. Page 1, then page 2, etc. Preview and printing looks completely normal. Hope this works for you until the bug is located and squashed for good.

Print final amount in first page cheque in multiple page cheque print

Anytime I print any Microsoft KB article, I only get the first page worth of text. This is very troubling because the articles are typically long, and I only get 1 page. The second page always comes out blank (even though in IE it will print out multiple pages with all the text).
My specific example today is listed in the URL below. This example will only print to the "DIR" command, I don't get the full page printed out.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a resolution? I hate having to hit up IE just to print a single article.
I updated to FF 8.01 just to make sure, and I have tried different printers and even computers, to no avail. Even the print preview has the issue, only the first page worth of text is printed and the second page is always blank (even if there are 3, 4, 5, etc pages of data to be printed).
I have also tried the Firefox Menu -> Print command, and the "on-page" print command. I have seen moderate success with highlighting all the text that I want to print and going to "Print-Selection" but it is ugly.
Any feedback or assistance is greatly appreciated.'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''

How do I print the first page of numerous documents?
Computer setup:
Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.10 on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
User experience:
I consider myself proficient in office (Excel, Word) and software use in general (Windows XP). The extent of my Adobe Acrobat experience is creating custom dynamic stamps. I have little to no javascript programming knowledge.
Problem:
Numerous pdf files in multiple directory locations must have the first page of each document printed.
Current (and time-consuming) solution:
Copy the files to a single directory
Use Acrobat Pro to combine files and individually select the first page for each document
Combine and print.
Tools
Filename Extractor (can be used to extract the filename OR filename and path of documents)
Bonus Points
An index of all documents exists in Excel format. Documents are selected for printing by filtering this Excel index. The Excel index will have a column containing the path of each document. A solution that can utilise this path information to shortcut the time-consuming "copy and paste" method currently used will attract bonus points.
Thanks in advance,
SimonCreate a batch process the executes the following JavaScript code:
this.print({nStart:0, bUI: false, bSilent: true});
It will silently print the first page of any file you batch. Be careful not to overload your printer's queue by sending too many files in one go.
