Pages 5.5.2 and pdf

Trying to save a pdf to pages so I can use the cloud to view and edit documents on mobile devices. Just received a pdf this afternoon, and a right click shows an option to open with pages. Alas, pages does not load or attempt to open the pdf. Still why is that opti

Hi,
You can do this with Adobe Acrobat.
If you are using Export PDF it is a long procedure.
You need to convert your PDF in word or powerpoint.
Then you can edit the document & again can create PDF.

Looking for Scripts that Replaces Text and Master Pages (Batch Missing Files and PDFs)

I have just found the Script Library panel in FM 10. (Always used InDesign before.)
I'm up to replace a text string and two master pages in 100+ documents. Tried to google for some nice solutions to make this automatically but cannot find any scripts/macros to FM at all.
Do you have som tip where to find such scripts/macros?
To facilitate my work I also look for a batch script that automatically updates the image pathes in each framemaker file (image folder has been renamed).
And at a last FrameMaker -> PDF Batch converter.

100 is a small enough number that no time may be saved writing a script (assuming none exist for the purpose).
I'd be tempted to ...
Create a sourcing file that has the new MPs needed (and safe versions of MPs "Left" and "Right")
Create a new Book file.
Add to it all 100 of the files needing update (this is the only tedious part).
Use Find/Replace from the Book menu to fix the text string.
Select all book component files:
File > Import > Formats
Import from Document [MPsourcefilename.fm]
[Deselect All]
[*] Page Layouts
[Import]

Batch convert Pages files to Doc and stay in the same folder?

Hi there,
I use iWork '09 on Mountain Lion. I recently switched to Microsoft Word and prefer it over Pages (personal preference). However, I have nearly 1000 files on my computer that are in Pages format. I have extensively searched this issue in the Apple Support Communities and it appears that there are scripts that DO EXIST that batch convert Pages files into Word files. However, it appears that many of these scripts were built for older versions of iWork and therefore I run into various errors. For example, I used the script available at http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2008/01/export-folder-to-word-rtf-pdf-txt-or.html and click run but nothing actually happens (the script runs for less than a second, then I can click run again). I was able to use one script successfully (pasted below), but the only reason I can't use it is because it saves ALL my converted documents in one folder on my desktop and I would like a script that can save them in the original file were the Pages document is located.
So, is there an iWork '09 compatible script that can convert my Pages documents to Word documents and save them in the same folder as the original? Oh, and for an added bonus, it'd be cool if the script also deleted my Pages version after it was done with the conversion

Batch convert Pages files to doc and pdf.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

> How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

If your mail service allows all of that to be sent as attachments or however you are attempting that then it's possible the email server or servers receiving the email do not allow attachments that large.
You say you are sending "a combination of MS Word and pdf files and attachments". I've never sent anything like that. I have zipped various files into a zip file then attached that to an email for sending.
Googles mail appears to allow a total of 25 megabytes of attachments in a single email.
Yahoo mail appears to allow a total of 25 megabytes also.
Microsofts mail appears to allow a total of 20 megabytes of attachments in a single email.
Another option would be to upload everything to your onedrives public folder and provide a link for others to download all of it in the email you send out.
A single users onedrive supposedly can have up to 10 gigabytes loaded onto it. I suppose all of that could be used by the public folder but maybe not.

Printing Header and Footer once in HTML and on all pages in RTF and PDF using one RDF

Hi,
I am using a single RDF to generate reports in HTML,PDF and RTF.
For printing the header only on the first page I used the
following trigger
begin
srw.get_page_num (page_num);
IF upper(:P_FORMAT) = 'HTML' THEN
if page_num = 1 then
return(true);
else
return (FALSE);
end if;
ELSE
return (TRUE);
END IF;
end;
I alo require to print the footer once on the last page in case
of HTML and on all pages for RTF and PDF.Is there any way I can
get the total number of pages or is there any other way to
acheive this. ???
Any help would be appreaciated .
Thanks,
Alka

Generally, one template can not create nice output in all formats. In your case, you would need a format parameter to suppress headers/footers if it's value is 'EXCEL'. The problem is (I wish someone would correct me on this) that we can not refer the standard parameter already there and have to create another, user-defined parameter.

How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro?

How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro while maintaining page size and annotation/highlight interactivity? I've tried to use the crop tool in Acrobat Pro (9) and the page does resize, but the highlights and annotations go all over the place. I specifically need to scale the page content smaller (83%) but maintain page size and annotation/highlight to content connection and interactivity.

An old trick (not recommended) would be to print to a new PDF with the page size selected but a scaling of the content. Only print the document, not the markup, to a new PDF. Close that PDF when done and reopen the old one (or maybe a copy of the old one for safety) and use Document Replace pages and select the new document to replace your current pages. You will then have to go back through the markup to locate it all correctly. There may be a more elegant way, but this may be the fastest.

Hey quantum info,
Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page" option in Acrobat.
Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
Hope to hear from you.

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.

Barry

Neither resetting via holding home+power buttons helped, nor the "reset all settings" in the settings. The only option left is erasing the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone ( or restoring from a backup?)

Scan to pdf page wanted to cut and move bottom text up

I have a scanned to pdf (raster image) that I attempted to
OCR in Acrobat 9 Pro. Then I opened it PS CS4 and wanted to cut
the bottom text and move it up but I did not know how. How would you do this?
The page had narrow top and bottom margins with much white space in the middle. I thought I could move the bottom text up but I either did not have the rght tool or something was not working because it acted like one image on te page.
Thanks!

One other thing I hate about my HP is if I haven't printed in a day or two the first time I send something to it, it just sits there making noises for five minutes before doing anything. Same thing when it quits...it makes noises for a couple of minutes and then quiets down. Does the 810 do anything similar? Lastly, I'm pretty happy with the color prints that this one makes...how are they with the 810.
Thanks for your time in answering these questions.

Merging .psd's and .pdf's into single pdf, only showing 1st page of pdfs :(

I am merging .psd's and multi-page pdf's into a single pdf. When I import the other .pdfs and then save, it is only saving the first page. How can I fix this? I very much appreciate the help.

To my knowledge you can't use Bridge for merging multi PDF files to one. You
can do so in Acrobat Pro. Also Apple Preview has limited options to merge
PDF, I believe you can merge a multi page PDF to a single page one with Drag
and option key pressed.
You should first create also PDF sheets for the PSD files. Remember that
huge file size creates also huge PDF files.

Search rollover page number not consistent with thumb and pdf page number

Please respond by e-mail to

Adobe Reader 9.0 and 8.1.2.
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Mac PowerPC G4
640 MB SDRAM
Does Adobe Reader have a search window phrase rollover, yellow-highlighted pop up page number bug displaying the wrong page in some circumstances?
If Yes, how do I report that bug to get Adobe to fix it?
Viewing the same PDF:
MacPreview does not have the problem described below,
Adobe Reader does have the problem.
Adobe Reader, search phrase rollover, pops up a page number that is yellow-highlighted, e.g., p# 29, and is wrong, whereas the page number for the thumb and PDF are both the same and are correct.
My PDF has been set on Acrobat Pro to properly paginate the first eight pages in lowercase Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii) followed by Arabic numerals (1, 2, etc.). My PDF uses an AcrobatPro special setting to properly handle this pagination scheme. The search phrase rollover pops up a yellow-highlighted page number that wrongly adds 8 pages to the page number for the thumb and for the PDF page. Suspiciously, we have 8 pages with lowercase Roman numbers. Remember, viewing the same PDF, MacPreview works perfectly, producing identical and correct page numbers for the phrase, thumb, and PDF.

the method u followed is fine as need a page number staring from a specify value which u input.
@section is only for resetting page number to 1 for every group and for that pdf and ppt will be fine but only for rtf u need to use that ( pressing F9).
u can use @section and initial page number combined but they give u same output as get now. rtf output wont support it will only reset 1 every time
What ever u do rtf output wont support initial page number code ..........
i mentioned that F9 work around to mention that it is the only work around u have upto now to control rtf output with regards to page number.
Guru's correct me if i am wrong. wait for a day or two if some one from guru's confirm it .
If u need real confirmation raise an SR oracle will let u know .
