PDF document merging - portrait/landscape

When I try to merge 2 pdf documents using the XML Publisher API's (PDFDocMerger), I notice that, if my second file is in landscape mode, after merging the content of second file is shown in portrait mode with data being chopped off from the page. I tried adding a new section at the end of first pdf doc in landscape mode, but this does not help.
I want the merged documents to retain the orientation of the page layout of the individual pdf''s. Is there a property I need to set.

Reader cannot create PDFs. You'd need to ask in the Acrobat Forum, as your scanner probably uses it to make the PDF.

XML Publisher PDF DOCUMENT MERGER

Hi,
The Report POXPRPOP (Print Purchase order Report) has been customized with XML publisher for PDF output. The RTF has been designed and it works well. Now I have to combine the two or more PO attachment with above XML report output and produces single PDF as output at concurrent request. The PO attachment is BLOB (PDF file, Word doc). For this I found that in the XML Publisher User Guide that we make this as post processing event through PDFDocumentMerger API.
Could any one validate this and also suggest if any other best approach to do this?
if you know more about this PDF document MErger could you know me how to stimulate this process?
Any help in this regard would appreciate.
Thanks,
Sai Krishna.

Like to Create PDF that includes portrait & Landscape pages

I have a HP Scanner which allows me to create PDF documents. I have these very important documents about "My Learning Disability" the issue is that some pages are printed in Portrait and others are in Landscape. I really need to know if its possible to create a PDF with my specific needs? I have the latest addition of Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Currently when I scan the pages are all portrait which makes some of them sideways on my Monitor
Thank you Very Much

Pdf documents merging with each other

Hi all
I am facing a problem regarding writing pdf documents using iText. I have an application that generates different pdf documents using a common function that generates the pdf. Problem occurs when two or more people generate pdfs. Most of the times the pdfs get merged with each other, which is a serious problem. Please help me regarding this.
Thanks

How do I export from PDF to Word when PDF has both portrait and landscape pages in it?

Most of the pdf is in portrait but a few are in landscape in the middle of the document and it totally screws up the rest of the document. Help! AND the portrait page size is 8.27 x 11/69.

Looks like you have A4 pages. I would copy the PDF and then rotate the landscape pages (or portrait) individually (use the tools, not the view rotation) and then do the save to DOC or DOCX. That might do what you want. I would have expected it to notice the orientation, but I guess not. You did not mention the version of Acrobat. If you have not done the updates, you may want to do those first. Your issue may have been address with the updates.

Portrait/landscape orientation from MS Word to .pdf

I just converted my first Word document to a .pdf with Adobe.com Air. The Word doc was created in a portrait orientation, but the .pdf
came out in a landscape orientation. Can't figure out how to correct?

The original was an MS Word document (.doc) created with page set up for portrait orientation. It shows and prints
in portrait orientation. I converted to a .pdf on Adobe.com and the pdf file was in landscape. When the pdf is viewed (previewed?)
on Adobe.com, it appears in landscape. It is a one page document and was never saved to any other format. Since the original Word
document is in the correct format, how would I alter the formating to re-upload and convert again? I have attached both the .doc & .pdf files.

Created a word doc with links to pdfs, is Adobe XI standard enough to merge as one pdf document

I am looking to create one flowing document, without the need to send customers lots of attachments. I have a word document which has links to several other document types, usually pdf sometimes these have minimal volume other times these can be large in volume. Currently I have to send all the documents as a folder, but I would like to send one tidy document, so if I convert to a pdf with Adobe XI standard will my linked documents be automatically inserted creating one document (I have not purchased yet, researching first)?

The linked documents will not be automatically converted to PDFs and merged
with your file, neither in Acrobat Standard nor in Acrobat Pro. You can do
it, but you'll need to do it manually by converting all the files to PDFs,
merging them and then adding the links between them.

I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

I have a paid subscription, but am no longer able to merger multiple pdf documents into one pdf. What's up?

Pat:
Below is a copy of an 8/7/2013 email from adobe. I prepaid a one-year subscription, and, until I recently upgraded to Windows 8, I was able to make several dozens of merged pdf documents. I seem to be no longer able to use the merge feature that I had successfully and repeated used. When I search for the merge feature I end up with a request that I pay for an upgrade monthly subscription to use the merge feature.

Merging existing pdf documents in Windows 8

I have just purchased a new HP computer c/w Windows 8, 64 bit. Have loaded my Office 2007 suite and love that I can create PDF files. My question is that I don't know how to merge (add pages to existing pdf documents) my pdf files. Can this be done with Windows 8. Also, I have an old disc with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional/Education. Could I load this and use it with Windows 8? I'm looking for a simple way to merge my existing pdf documents, nothing fancy. Thank you!

Acrobat 7 is long obsolete, and not for Windows 8. The current version is 11 (Acrobat XI). No reduced price upgrade is available, but buying Acrobat XI is what you probably need.

Merging pdf documents in Preview while maintaining OCR capability

...isn't working. I can copy text from the individual pdf's, but when I merge them, the OCR text is replaced with "_". This happening to anyone else? This is happening on more than one Mac here at the office.
I'm opening one file, expanding the sidebar, then dragging each subsequent file ONTO the page of the original. Then I save-as and that's the result I'm getting.

Thanks Linc. This document seems a misleading. I'm not sure what the combining of PDFs in this manner is supposed to do, but it does not seem to merge the files.
After the three documents are brought together in one, you end up with three separate documents combined in one Preview window, which is handy for looking at them, but not for much else.
When you close the window you still have three separate documents. The title "Combining PDF documents using Preview" seems quite misleading.

Mail Merge from Microsoft Word 2010 to "Individual" PDF documents.

Hi Adobe brothers and sisters,
I need help with this one.
I'm Mail Merging over 300 letters and each letter has seven pages. What I'm currently doing is mail merging from Excel to Word then printing it into a single PDF document. Once printed, I select each seven pages and then reprinting in PDF with the name its intended for? This is very time consuming and hoping there is an easier way.
Is there a way to save each individual PDF documents (each letter) and have them labeled by a specific name listed on the letter intended for (eg: surname) without going through this lengthy process.
Regards,

I've developed a tool that will allow you to extract each group of 7 pages
into a single file with just a few clicks. See:
http://try67.blogspot.com/2012/01/acrobat-extract-groups-of-pages.html
However, the file names of the generated files will be generic. If you want
to use some text from the pages themselves in the file names, that might be
possible, but would require a more complex script. Contact me personally to
discuss it further.

Merge PDF Documents

Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat XI
I have a PDF Cover Letter, containing recipients, created from Word mail merge and using Excel as the datasource. One recipient details per page.
I have another PDF Legal letter, that cannot be edited, and cannot include an address or the normal method of PDF merges, hence the requirement for a cover letter.
Can I create a new merged PDF document, for each recipient / page in the cover letter, and add the Legal letter after each cover page?
Cover_Letter.pdf Legal.pdf
Page 1 - Recipient 1 6 Pages
Page 2 - Recipient 2
Page 3 - Recipient 3
New.pdf
Cover Letter - Recipient 1
Legal Pages
Cover Letter - Recipient 2
Legal Pages
Cover Letter - Recipient 3
Legal Pages
etc!
Many thanks
Larry

Hi Bill
Many thanks for your reply. The Insert option is available, but by the looks of it, it cannot insert the document multiple times. Having to do this manually for the 10 recipients in my test doc is painful enough. The usual recipient list can be 100+!
Cheers
Larry

Printing problems, black mark appears on document when printing using auto portrait/landscape

As the title says, pdf is fine on screen but when printing using auto portrait/landscape a black mark appears on the screen as in the photos below
when the orientation is selected the line disapears and the print works correctly
Anyone have any idea why this would happen?
Thanks
Ben

Hello Pelle,
Thanks for the feedback. Our printing code in Adobe Reader Touch doesn't have that capability right now, but since you mention it we should probably do what you're requesting by default. I'll put that into our backlog for a future update, but I can't say yet when it will be available.
In the interim, if you have pages that are different orientations, you can print them in blocks manually to get what you want, but I understand that's a hassle.
Dennis
