Newbie How to do a FlattenPages of many PDF in a Batch?

I'm using Acrobat Pro 10. I have a PDF with a fillable form.
Example, 2 users fill out the PDF( with Adobe Reader) and Upload it to server.
I want the server to run a routine( batch process) to take those
2 PDF's and make it Flatten.
I will eventually want to combine those 2 PDF into ONE PDF,
where I can search on a word.
How can this be done or is there a better way?
TIA

It can be done with Acrobat, but Acrobat cannot be used on a server to run automated processes. This is a licensing restriction, but Acrobat is also technically unsuitable.  It wasn't designed and engineered for such use. You will have to look for products that have been designed specifically for server use.

  • How to split a report in many PDF

    Post Author: metoo
    CA Forum: Other
    I have a BO report that has two groups: year and location. This report has to be exported to different PDF files which correspond to the data of one of the groupsyear. For example, one pdf file has only data for 2004, another one for 2005, and so on. The VB code that I am using is below, labeled "Working Code" and works fine. Now, I want to create pdf files by location. So, I made a copy of the code and change some names and values and now it generates the different PDF files but it dumps the whole report in each file (all the locations) instead of just showing the data that correspond to the specific locationsee code below labeled "Not Working Code".  Any suggestions on how to fix this? Does it have to do with what is in ""? "Location" is the name of the dimmension, should I be delcaring something else somewhere else?
    "Working Code"
    Sub creates_yearsPDF()     ExportToPDF "2004"    ExportToPDF "2005"    ExportToPDF "2006"    ExportToPDF "2007"              MsgBox "Exporting Year Report to PDF files has been completed."
    End Sub
    Private Sub ExportToPDF(strFName As String)
        Application.Variables.Item("Year").Value = strFName
        ThisDocument.ActiveReport.ForceCompute    ThisDocument.ActiveReport.ExportAsPDF "c:\PDF file for " & strFName
    End Sub
    "Not Working Code"
    Sub creates_locationsPDF()     ExportToPDFL "North"    ExportToPDFL "South"    ExportToPDFL "East"    ExportToPDFL "West"              MsgBox "Exporting Locations Report to PDF files has been completed."
    End Sub
    Private Sub ExportToPDFL(strFName As String)
        Application.Variables.Item("Location").Value = strFName
        ThisDocument.ActiveReport.ForceCompute    ThisDocument.ActiveReport.ExportAsPDF "c:\PDF file for " & strFName

  • Remove encryption or protection for many PDFs in Action Wizard?

    Hello,
    I can remove encryption manually for each PDF file, but I have hundreds of files so it is impossible to do it manually.
    From what I know, in Action Wizard, I can only add encryption for many files, there seems to be no 'encryption remove' function in Action Wizard for me to apply to many files.
    So, my question is, how do I remove encryption for many PDF files at once without having to so manually?
    Thank you.

    Sir, what you said makes perfect sense but it may work only in case the files are protected with a password.
    This case seems different.
    I remove the protection manually by choosing Protection --> Encrypt --> Remove.
    No password whatsoever.
    After that, I am able to Edit Object, Edit Document Text, Add or Edit Text Box.
    To make sure I followed your steps correctly, this is how I did it:

  • How do we know how many PDFs are generated?

    Hello All-
    We have created an Application ID with enough credentials on it to call the Adobe Services and our developers are using WebServices to call the Form Server in their code with that particular App Id and Generate the PDFs and what we really want to know is if there is any setting in the Adminui or in the code where we can set that and see how many PDFs are being generated for a period of time from that particular App Id? We are not using PDFGen component.
    we are using Adobe LiveCycle 8.0.1 SP3, WebSphere 6.1 and DB2 8.2 database.
    It will be great if someone can tell me if they did this before.
    Thanks in Advance

    On the old discussion software, they had distinctive avatars and identifiers under the avatars. They could have adopted distinctive avatars with the new forum software but they didn't. The reason that they didn't, I assume, is because the new software allows secondary icons to identify users. Every level had its own icon, the Hosts had their own icon, and Apple employees had theirs. This identification system was temporarily disabled along with the rest of the levels and reputations because of the performance hit that was being caused. It may come back if they can fix the performance problems.
    Until then, Hosts and Apple employees have been using text signatures, such as "Apple Discussions Host" to identify themselves. There may be Apple employees who have not gotten the word about the text signatures.
    BTW, to see what I mean by the identification icons, look at how Jive has implemented this feature on their own support forums. On this forum page, look to the right in the box labeled "Legend".

    My iPhone is a iPhone 3GS. For some reason, the ringer becomes silent although I have put the ringer on full volume. Would someone kindly teach me how to solve this problem? Many thanks!!

    Just to make sure... you have the phone in ringer mode right? Sometimes the switch on the side gets bumped (especially if you don't have a case on the iPhone) and goes into silent. If you see a orange line on the switch - it's on silent.
    If the switch is fine (and isn't loose or anything) try restoring the iPhone in iTunes.

  • How to space objects by yay many pixels

    Hey guys,
    So i'm toooootally new to illustrator. I'm trying to make myself some lcars so that i can import it into flash to make a screensaver. I've created some objects but they need to be spaced both horizontally and vertically by 5 pixels, since i'm totally new to this software, can anyone help me out step by step with how to do this please?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew

    Andrew,
    Ok in spacing can i specify how far i want between the objects? I mean edge to edge,
    Precisely, as Kris also said.
    In the Align palette, you have Align Objects, Distribute Objects, and Distribute Spacing. The buttons show what they are doing, as do the names which show when you hover. Do not use Auto, but insert the desired in the unit used in the document, or specify by unit.

    Can your iPad be upgraded to iOS 7? If so, what are you doing that isn't working?
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    I read an article in the paper today re the virus that locks off I-phone and I-pads, I have an iMac and an iPad 4. Is there a danger of this happening and if so how do I prevent it?
    Many thanks, Roger Biggin.

    You may be referring to the "Oleg Pliss" hack (not a virus), in which some people (mostly in Australia and New Zealand) have had their Apple IDs hacked and used to remotely lock their iOS devices. If that's what you read about, be sure that you are using a strong password on your Apple ID, and consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID to make it difficult or impossible for a hacker to take it away from you.
    If you live in Australia or New Zealand, it may be worthwhile to turn off Find My iPad on your iPad, at least until the cause of the problem has been determined. Of course, that reduces the protections against theft. You'd be better off to just make sure you're keeping the iPad backed up, so you can restore it if it happens to get locked.
    If this isn't the story you read about, we'll need more details about what the story said.

  • Printing MANY PDFs, how to manage?

    Where I work, we have teachers that receive homework via PDF. Often times, this results in *many* files being accepted.
    Our secretary is trying to find a way to facilitate the printing of many PDFs so that it doesn't trash Windows resources, in a sane manner so not to flood the printer and which doesn't require manually printing each document.
    I've hooked her up with Thunderbird and a plugin that wild detach the PDFs and place them into a folder, that was the easy part.
    I'm thinking I may have to toss this to a UNIX system and script it; however, I wonder if anyone here may have some clever ideas on how to manage this scenario.
    Thank you.

    Why not combine all PDF's into a single file, and then print that?
    This can be automated in several ways, but the easiest is to simply drag the files into the Thumbnails (or Pages) tab.

    Hi Susan,
    I checked using the email you provided, and there's no history of any orders under that email address. (Then, I removed your email address from you post, since this is a public forum and it's best not to broadcast contact information.)

    <Edited by Host>

    Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • How do you uninstall lion; too many problems

    how do you uninstall lion; too many problems

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.
