Organizing pages in files

It says that with PDF Pack you can "organize and arrange files in the right order" but does this allow me to organize and arrange the pages of the files in the right order?

Hi IIT Entertainment Group,
Rearranging files within a single PDF requires the full version of Acrobat. With the CombinePDF feature in PDF Pack, you can determine what order to combine several files in; but you can't arrange them at the page-level.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.
Best,
Sara

Organizing Page Definition Files

Hi,
Just wondering is there any way I can control where the Page Definition Files are created as I keep on building pages in a project.
I mean, I would like to have all of my page def files in a single package instead of their default location (generally page folder structure).
Looking for an elegant way to manage project structure, like we control business component package from JDeveloper Tools > Preferences > ADF Business Components > Packages.
Thanks.

Thanks Suresh, that we can always do it ourself anytime. I am looking for a way that helps to change the default location.

How to restore Pages 4 files after opening in Pages 5

Here's a tip for those who have discovered the misery of Pages 5 and then wanted to go back to a Pages 4 compatible version of a file. If you simply go to Time Machine, you will find that the file no longer exists in back-ups previous to the date you first saved it in Pages 5. Evidently since Pages 5 files are not back-compatible with Pages 4, once a file has been converted to 5 format, the older versions in 4 no longer "exists". Don't panic, however, they are still there and can be found by manually (i.e. through the Finder) going to the back-up disk and digging around in a back-up folder from any date before you first saved in Pages 5. Once you've found the file, you can simply drag/drop to your current location on your computer, and then select "replace". Bingo! The file can be opened again with Pages 4.

Don't know. Never having trusted the cloud, I keep all my files locally. Maybe there is a version somewhere on your computer's disk? If so, and if you are using Time Machine, you should be able to find it in a back-up folder.

How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another page or file - on the same screen?

How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

Open both of your images in the Editor. Click on the image you want to copy and press Ctrtl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+C (copy) then click the tab for your other image and press Ctrl+V (paste)
Alternatively click on your background image then simply drag the second image from the photo/project bin and drop it into the main editor workspace on top of the background image. Use the move tool to position and the corner handles of the bounding box to scale.

THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

Can't send single-page PDF files to other apps

When someone emails me a PDF with multiple pages, the files appears as an attachment in the email and I have to click on it to view it. Once I click on it, I am taken to a full screen view of the PDF and I can scroll to see the other pages. When I tap the screen, the square with an arrow point up appears in the upper right corner. When I touch the square with the arrow, I am given the option to send the PDF to Messages, Mail, etc. I also have a app on my iPad called PDF Expert and I can send it to this app as well. PDF expert lets me draw on the PDF so I can sign documents.
So here's the problem. When a single-page PDF is sent to me, it appears in-line, in the email body itself. It does not appear as an attachment. When I click on it, instead of it taking it to another page where I can view it full screen, it gives me the option to Select or Copy. This doesn't help me at all. I have had this problem with images showing up inline in the email body as well.
Being able to see the attachment inline is a nice idea, but there absolutely needs to be a way to send it to another page to be viewed full screen and to give the option to send it to other apps.

I have been having the same problem... Here is how I solved it.
I removed all graphics from my automatic email signature line and then it worked!!!! For some reason, the ipad mail app cant handle a graphic signature block and an attachment.
Good Luck!

Getting Page Count for a Multi-Page PDF file using Illustrator script?

Does anyone know how to get the page count of a multi page PDF file? I know you can then open each page using the PDFFileOptions (pagetoopen). But I need to know up front how many pages there are to loop thru to open each page and process each page.
Any Ideas?

This script i did for photoshop:
OK so lets do it working on WIN and MAC without any shell script.
This solution is not the best but its working.
I used Try catch to solve it.
Only issue is that you should at least somehow know how many pages you expect in pdf.. this mean if you are working with books or flyers...
Then set the maxPagesCount to that number.
I am working with pdfs with max 20pages.. so i start open the 20 then 19 then 18 and when i am success i know the amount of pages.
Its not the quicker way but its usable.
var maxPagesCount = 20;
var actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
var opts1 = new PDFOpenOptions();
opts1.usePageNumber = true;
opts1.antiAlias = true;
opts1.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
opts1.resolution = 10; //it will load faster the test page
opts1.suppressWarnings = true;
opts1.cropPage = CropToType.MEDIABOX;
myFunction = function () {
try {
      app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
      var fileList = openDialog();
      for (i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
        actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
        getPagesCount(fileList[i],maxPagesCount);
        alert(actPagesCount);
} catch (exception) {
    alert(exception);
getPagesCount = function (checkFile, lastPageID) {
try {
    for (var checkPage = lastPageID; checkPage > 0; checkPage--) {
      opts1.page = checkPage;
      var docRef = open(checkFile, opts1, false);
      docRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
      actPagesCount = lastPageID;
      return;
      checkPage=0;
} catch (exception) {
    // Look for next page
    checkPage--;
    getPagesCount(checkFile,checkPage);

Single page PDF file in mail always appears in message body, instead of as an attachment, contrary to a multiple page PDF. Why?

When sending a single page PDF file in mail, it always appears as an open file in the message body. Multiple page PDF files appear as attachments. Why the difference and how to change the behavior of single page PDF files so that they appear as attachments instead of open files?

Hello billsbs,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you add a PDF to mail you see its entire contents, but when you add two or more pages Mail shows them as a document icon. To change this behavior for that specific email, please follow the instructions in the attached article.

Have a great day,

How do I open Pages '08 files with the current version of Pages (5.5)?

I have a computer full of Pages '08 files. I just upgraded to Yosemite and purchased the new Pages. It looks great but Pages is telling me that it doesn't open Pages '08 files. Apparently it only opens it's own files and Pages '09 files. As far as I know, Pages '09 is no longer available. Am I stuck at a dead end? Is there no way for me to access any of my documents?!
Help!!!

You should still have Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
Open your files with that and Export to Word .doc/docx. Pages 5.5 can open those with probably considerable changes.
rogerfromnorfolk is right. Take a lesson from this as Apple will continue to screw over your work without regard for its affect on you or all the people who have to work with you.
Start looking for something else more secure and reliable, that means NOT from Apple.
LibreOffice [free] is very capable. There are also NisusWriter and Mellel with more alternatives on their way. Affinity Publisher from Serif should be launched next year and should maybe end any need to use Apple's btroken software.

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
SO...
When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
Many Thanks!

On Firefox, i wish to edit details in the 'Page Source' file (CSS) and save the changes. Please help...

I am viewing a crossword(HTML file) prepared by me, on FIREFOX. I wish to change the color of the blank squares (which are black now), to improve the appearance of CW. I have located the appropriate place on the "Page Source" file for effecting the change. ''But, I am not able to effect the change, as the file does not accept the editing.'' Please, advise
how I can effect the change and also save the changes effected...Thanks

It is View > Page Source and not Edit > Source, so you can't make changes to the source in Firefox.<br />
You will have to do that via an external editor.<br />
You can also override CS style rules with the Stylish extension.

Used to be able to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one and then it stopped and would only print the curent page. This is tedious for long PDF docs. I am on 10.6.8 .

Used to be ablert to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one printer and now I can only print the current page and therefore it takes forever printing them one by one. I am in version 10.6.8. Tried printing as image using the advanced click and that did not work either. I have Adobe 9.0 reader installed.

I tried this earlier, and I tried it again today. Both times it said "Software Missing!" and "HP Software required to connect to your printer over the network could not be found on this computer." But when I tried to install the software (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe, which I downloaded from HP's web site), it wouldn't install, as described above. In the diagnostic utility, I clicked "skip", and it said "Connection Verified!", and "The printer is connected to the network and the services related to the network connections have been verified and reset to a normal operating state. Everything appears to work fine at this point. Please doa test print to verify that the issue is resolved or click Skip to move to the next step." I clickedthe "Test Print" button, and immediately it popped up a box that said "Test Print Failed."
I tried again to install the HP software, and it installed, detected the printer, and asked me to select it. I selected the printer, clicked "next", and it did its network diagnostics. Then it said "Problem(s) found with your network" and "Problem(s) may exist with the network functions of your printer . . ." I continued the installation without connecting to the printer. Then I ran your network printer diagnostic tool again, and got the same result - "HP Software required to connect to youir printer over the network could not be found on this computer."

Can you turn a single 18-page Indesign file into 18 individual Indesign files?

I am working in CS5 and am laying out a newspaper in Indesign. I would like to save the 18 page file into 18 separate files (1 page per file) so other people can work on different pages.
Is this possible? Exporting as a pdf and extracting doesn't quite work (text wrap around ads issues) so keeping it as InDesign is a must.
Thank you.

You can use the Move Pages command to move one page at a time to a new file, or delete all but one page and save as with a new name. Either option can probably be automated by scripting (I bet somebody's already written it, so you might ask in InDesign Scripting) but 18 pages isn't all that big that doing it by hand should be a problem.

How to create multiple page pdf file

Hello,
Sometimes I need to create multiple (more precisely double) page pdf file from another pdf file to reduce the printing cost of the document. For this I crop the single page document and then print it in a double page pdf file (in landscape).
But I am still facing a problem in this regard. When I make a double page pdf the gutter (distance between two pages, left and right) is more than 1.5 inch. This is a great problem. Can anyone tell me how to reduce the gutter when making a double page pdf file (don't just suggest to crop the single page pdf, i tried this as well, I cropped using the feature "remove white margin" but still there is more than 1.5 inch between two pages)
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
mathmad

When you print, select the printer properties for the Adobe PDF printer. On the layout tab is an option for the number of pages per sheet. In some versions it is listed as multi-up as I recall. I did not say to simply print from the 2-up display. It is a printer option, not a display option.

Htmldb page with 'File Browse' hang on submit change

I have a htmldb page with 'File Browse' item. With File Browse empty, on pressing submit button with which has 'SQL UPDATE' action and returning to same page branch, the page hangs.
It also happen on File Import page of htmldb application itself with File Browse.
Anyone have the same problem or know why?

I'm working with Sashisu on our problem and I wanted to give a few more details on what we've found.
-We're using HTMLDB 1.6
-The problem occurs only on pages with a file upload page item.
-When clicking a link on one of the problem pages the browser will stick on retrieving the page for 1-2 minutes, then ultimately it will end in a page cannot be displayed error.
-Sometimes the page will not hang and go directly to the page cannot be displayed error.
-After encountering the error, clicking back to return to the page and then retrying the link will successfully load (and upload the file) the next page.
-The problem only happens in IE 6.0. The submits work fine in FireFox.
-Our development servers do not have this problem using the same HTMLDB code. The configuration between the servers on Development and Production is similar but not exact (we're working on finding the delta).
-We did not have this problem on production until a recent code update.
Thanks in advance,
-John
