Open multi page pdf specific page in Illustrator CS4 with apple script

I need to open multi page pdf specific page in Illustrator CS4 with apple script. Is it something like this:
activate  (open file theTargetFolder as PDF with options …).
Thank you.

Carlos,
Muchas Gracias por tu colaboración y excelente script, el que se abra el ESTK no tiene mayor importancia.
El caso es que Adobe recomienda encarecidamente NO utilizar Illustrator para editar PDFs, por diversas razones, aunque cuando no hay otro remedio o herramienta disponible, o conocida ...
Para llegar aquí, aparte de San Google, hay que ir a Adobe.es (en mi caso), pestaña de Ayuda,  ..... (hasta aqui bien),
luego hay que bajar hasta el final y ver Comunidad y Foros...... (esto puede ser)
al pulsar aparacen un montón de foros se supone de programas pero en inglés,
y la última línea es de International Forums,  ya casi hemos llegado)
pulsamos entonces, y por fin se abren cuatro palabras con idiomas, en una dice: español      (casi no me lo puede creer)
pincho y llego por fin aquí.
Muy poca gente sabe de la existencia de este pequeño refugio, si a esta dificultad añadimos la peculiar forma de ser de la gente, ....

  • Unable to mark the box 'create Multi-page PDF from page tiles' when saving to pdf-file

    I am running Illustrator CS3 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
    I want to print a very large illustrator-file (1000 mm x 900 mm) across mutliple pages of A4-paper (5 x 5 sheets of A4-paper) by saving the file as a multi-page pdf file.
    I first followed the instructions provided here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-mutli-page-pdf-illustrator.html
    When I then tried to save the file: -> File -> Save as -> 'choose .pdf from drop-down menu'
    I get to this menu:
    I am unable to mark the box that says: 'Create multi-page pdf from page tiles'. I have made a red arrow pointing to the box I want to mark.
    I have tried changing the other drop-down menus inside this menu, to see if the box I want to mark could become available, but without any luck.
    I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I would be grateful if anyone could help me set my settings right to allow me to create such a multi-page pdf-file.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Your ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
    Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
    On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned.

  • Creating multi-page PDF from Page Tiles

    Trying to save out a page-tiled Illustrator document to multi page PDF. The "Create Multi-Page PDF from Page Tiles" is ghosted/disabled when I save out as PDF; and printing to PDF doesn't size page edges properly. I've followed all directions and re-created new docs to see if I can get this to work, no luck.
    Is there a trick I'm missing? Using Illustrator CS3 13.0.2 Mac, Acrobat 8.1.3. Thanks!

    This would be hard to answer but you must be missing something the question is what are you doing and how is the document set up and then the really important question what are doing wrong. Which I know you want us to tell you but without knowing what that is we cannot tell you what not to do.
    If there is something you can tell that might give us a clue perhaps we can help.

  • Anybody tested Illustrator CS4 with OS-X Mavericks yet?

    Anybody tested Illustrator CS4 with OS-X Mavericks yet?
    Will it run? It runs fine in Mountain Lion.

    Simple basic testing CS4 with 10.9 DP3:
    - no problem with Illustrator (open, save, export, export to web, tools, basic work)
    - photoshop unworkable (starts, but basic tools like pen or brush are not working properly)
    - some problems with InDesign (cmd-space for zoom does not work, can not quit properly, just with force quit)
    In DP4 (under Parallels):
    - InDesign now quitting OK, Photoshop still unusable
    Ups, when installing 10.9 GM direct on external HDD (no virtualization), Adobe CS4 Design Standard (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat with Distiller) work OK for me, no problem.

  • Creating Multi-Page PDF from a Layerd Illustrator file (script)

    Often times when designing a logo I create different versions and variable options on layers. This can result in several layers in one Illustrator file. Is there an easy way or an existing script that will allow me to (with one click) create a multi-page PDF consisting of all the layers within my .ai file? The current method is turning on each layer, performing a save-as (PDF), then turning off said layer and turning on the next layer and repeating the task and so-on-and-so-forth, etc … It becomes tedious and quite often I save over the previous version, forgetting to re-name it or forget to perform a save on a certain layer. Can anyone help with some advice? I have never written my own script before but am not opposed to trying, where do I begin?
    Any help is appreciated.

    You don't say what OS you are using and which scripting language you are thinking of doing this in…
    This is a sample that may get you started done in JavaScript so it's platform independent with the exception of my 'mac style' file paths.
    If your on a PC it may just be a typo to set to C drive or whatever you call them things…
    If you are on the mac OS then it should just dump a load of PDF's on your desktop.
    You say about a multi-page PDF but don't think Illustrator can do this unless its been added with multi-artboards in CS4?
    Others would have to let you know that…
    #target illustrator
    var docRef = app.activeDocument;
    with (docRef) {
    var docName = baseName(name)
    var pdfOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
    pdfOptions.pDFPreset = '[High Quality Print]';
    // Turn all layers off
    for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
    layers[i].visible = false;
    // Turn each layer on
    for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
    if (i == 0) {
    layers[i].visible = true;
    redraw();
    var layerName = layers[i].name;
    var saveAsPath = new File('~/Desktop/' + docName + '_' + layerName + '.pdf')
    saveAs(saveAsPath, pdfOptions);
    } else {
    layers[i-1].visible = false;
    layers[i].visible = true;
    redraw();
    var layerName = layers[i].name;
    var saveAsPath = new File('~/Desktop/' + docName + '_' + layerName + '.pdf')
    saveAs(saveAsPath, pdfOptions);
    //close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    function baseName(fileName) {
    var nameString = '';
    var extOffset = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
    if (extOffset == -1) {
    nameString = fileName;
    } else {
    nameString = fileName.substr(0, extOffset);
    return nameString;

  • How to import a multiple page pdf into Pages

    is there a simple and efficient (not every single page by itself) way to convert/copy/insert a multiple page pdf document into Pages?
    Thank you.

    I will try to be more precise.
    I have a multiple page document that I scanned into a pdf format.
    I want to be able to view - not edit - it on my iPhone via iCloud.
    I do not know of any way to get a pdf up to my iCloud so I thought that if I could convert it to a Pages document that I could then upload it (the Pages document) to my iCloud and thus be able to view it on my iPhone.
    So what I really want to do is be able to view a pdf document that is on my iCloud on my iPhone 5.
    Perhaps my question should have been - How do you get a pdf document up to iCloud?
    Thank you.

  • PDF displays differently from Illustrator CS4 to Acrobat 9.1.x - no idea why

    My name is Chris Plessinger. I'm the local IT support for a company that produces promotional products.
    Recently, the Art Department came to me with a problem.
    They had a graphic that was sent to them by the customer in a PDF file.
    The PDF, when opened in Acrobat 9.1, shows an image with another image imposed on the lower left hand corner.
    When the PDF is opened in Illustrator CS4, the image is there, but the smaller image that was imposed on the lower left corner isn't there.
    In Illustrator, when you press CTRL-Y, you can see the outline of where it would be, but it's clearly not there.
    I'm don't know enough about the software to determine why it is showing up in one Adobe product and not displaying in another.
    I am uploading the file in question to this post.
    I would be very, very appreciative of any feedback on I can get on this issue. I'm not a graphic artist and can't answer the question being posed to me.
    Regards,
    Christopher

    Sweet.
    But I have a new question now: how (exactly) did you accomplish this? How did you flatten it?
    Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate your taking the time to help.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Add bookmarks to all pdf files at once using javascript or apple script

    Hello
    I have a folder containing pdf files of a survey.
    There is also a 'surveyname.pdf' file which consists of a number of pages.
    These pages have to be bookmarked for easy reference.There is a 'dummy.pdf' file which has all the bookmarks of the survey pages. I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 to open this file.
    There are also some map pdf's in the same folder.
    How can I add the bookmarks that are in the 'dummy.pdf' file to all the other pdf files in the same folder at once instead of doing one at a time which consumes a lot of time for 100-120 files?
    I use extendscript toolkit for writing the javscript or applescript code.
    I would be grateful if anyone could help me in solving this.
    Thankyou
    Krishna

    Here are some examples of doing the insert and the save in a separate operation. You can put them together on your own.
    ~T
    //From the JS Reference:
    this.insertPages ({
    nPage: -1,
    cPath: "/c/temp/myCoverPage.pdf",
    nStart: 0
    //Example of a trustedFunction SaveAs
    mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction(function (cPath)
    app.beginPriv();
    this.saveAs(cPath);
    app.endPriv();
    app.addMenuItem({ cName: "mySaveAs", cParent: "Insert Page",
    cExec: "mySaveAs('/c/myFolder/myNewPDF.pdf')",
    cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);",

  • Uploading a Manuscript from Word to an Adobe PDF - Specifically Page Color/Border

    Hi.
    I self publish on lulu.com and they usually require an Adobe PDF.
    Now, I make all my manuscripts on Word first and THEN create the Adobe PDF version.
    I'm working on a hardcover book right now and for some reason when I use the Page Color/Border option in Word (which allows all the negative space around my image to be colored) that doesn't translate to Adobe PDF.  When it appears on my Adobe PDF version, the Page Color/Border does not go all the way around the image.  It only covers a portion of the negative space.
    I'd love to know how to remedy this if anyone has tips.
    Thanks so much!

    How do you create the PDF - save from Word?  If so, you need to ask in a Microsoft Office forum.
    If you use Acrobat → http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/creating__editing_%26_exporting_pdfs
    If you use CreatePDF (now renamed to Adobe PDF Pack) → http://forums.adobe.com/community/createpdf

  • Save Small file PDF without Pixelation in Illustrator cs4

    I need to send a small file size PDF proof to a client via email. But When i resample is to descrease the file size it becomes pixelated. Is there anyway to decrease the file size without sacrificing the picture quality through Adobe Cs4?

    In order to produce a smaller PDF file in Illustrator (or any other app) you have to lower the images quality, assuming you are using images (as you mention pixelation). The option to compress text and line art artwork already comes activated by default, so that leaves you with the settings for color and greyscale images. You have two different settings, resolution (PPI ) and Jpeg compression level (Image Quality). If the file is meant to be viewed on the screen only up to 100% size, you can lower the resolution to 100 ppi, if it is going to be printed in an office printer, you need at least 150 ppi on the images. On the Jpeg compression level (Image Quality) I never go bellow "Medium" because the Jpeg compression artifacts get too visible (depending on the images, sometimes even Medium  gets a little noisy). If with these settings the file still is to big (assuming  you have turned off the "Preserve Illustrator Editing capabilities" option already) you have two choices: If it is a multipage file, split the file into several PDF files with a few pages each and send those in separate mails. Or, if it is a single page file, subscribe to a free online storage account (e.g. Sugarsync.com) and upload the file there and send a link of the file to the client so that he can download it from his computer (I always do).
    Hope this helps...

  • Compatability of Illustrator CS4 with CS3

    I am trying to find out how to create a file from CS4 in CS3 format. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    paul tech wrote:
    Has anyone had any type reflow or file problems to be aware of when opening CS3 in CS4 or downsaving CS4 to CS3?
    Only Type on a path should reflow. CS3 and CS4 use the same text engine so there shouldn't be any reflowing. Type on a Path was updated in CS4 and improved, so there may be some shifting there.
