PDF in a Muse page

I have to place a PDF-questionaire in a Muse-page. How do I do that?

I want to do the same thing I hope you don't mind I add to this BMM. I want to add a link to the page and when you hit the link it opens it in a separate floating window. I am wondering where you put this PDF. In a child page to the page that has the link?

How can I make a PDF of a Muse Preview page?

I need to make an accurate PDF reproduction of my web pages for a customer. I've tried making them from Acrobat Pro, a Chrome plugin, a Safari plugin, and the Mac Command + 4 method. None of these methods display the page with all of its components (which do appear fine on the website and in Muse where it was created).
I would have suspected that I could make a PDF of an entire page from inside Muse as this would be something that designers would need to save and print for their clients to review, but I can't figure out how. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Hi Sachin,
I've tried several third-party utilities for Chrome and Safari. I use a Mac and Fireshot is only available for Windows so I can't try that one. So far, none of the third-party utilities duplicate the page as it looks on the web or in Muse.
Thanks anyway,
anita
Anyone else? Any other ideas how I can get an accurate PDF?

Thanks in advance

Hi
Please elaborate a bit more as you want users to download pdf from your site or print site page as pdf etc
If its regarding documents then you can add add df documents in your site and then link them to pages where users can download the pdf, if you are referring to print page then you can provide information for ctrl+p/cmd+p , or add html code for print shortcut.

Why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page?

why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page? Firefox works as is should.

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

Hi Tom,
I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
Best regards, mbd

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox

How do I display PDF document as single pages on iPad?

Hi,
I have a company catalogue in PDF format, 20 pages long. We use Issuu to allow customer to view the catalogue on their PCs and mobile devices.
In Issuu you can customise the embed widget to show single pages, and this works fine when viewing the catalogue on a PC. The problem arises when trying to view the catalogue on an iPad. It appears that the iPad automatically sets the PDF to view as a Facing Pages document. It doesn't matter if I'm using Safari, or the Atomic browser we have installed (so that we can hide the URL bar).
I've created the document in inDesign as a single page document but the iPad still merges pages 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 etc.
The iPads will be used in our retail stores so it's important that the set up and navigation is as simple as possible. The catalogue is placed within an iFrame on the page so that I can but a navigational banner at the top that easily takes customers back to the main menu page. It's important that the catalogue opens within the page. The Issuu embed widget for Tumblr, etc only creates a preview of the catalogue which then opens in a separate tab, which unfortunately will not be suitable to our needs.
You can view the page here: http://www.eurocollections.com/block/catalogue.html
I've tried a number of different options, I've written to Issuu but they were unable to help as it only seems to be an iPad-related problem.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Peter

The PDF viewers on the iPad do not understand customised widgets. They understand the PDF format, exactly as it was designed by Adobe. Instead of trying to use a custom solution, use the features which are provided by the PDF format. Custom solutions work only for the situations that the company that wrote the custom solution wants them to work and they are a corruption of the normal way PDFs are used.
In your situation I'd remove all dependency on any custom widgets from your PDF document. Instead you can use links which allow you to click on a piece of text or an image in the PDF and the PDF software will take you to a different page. This is part of the PDF standard and will work on all software capable of showing PDFs. It is all your users should need to navigate from one part of your catalogue to another. Whatever software you're using to create your PDF should give instructions on how to create links in your PDF document.
Similarly your use of iFrames is a little stange. If your material is on a web site, put it in web pages where you can use all the features web pages give you, including blue-underlined links to other pages. If, instead, your material is in a PDF then put all the navigation in the PDF. Don't try to depend on a strange interaction between the PDF and your web pages.

Part of me thinks that this doesn't actually have anything to do with mail. I had problems with Safari and Finder crashing every time I they tried to open a PDF. This was partially solved by installing Adobe Acrobat Reader and designating it as the default PDF veiwing app, but this option didn't appear when I ran Mail for the first time after installing Reader.
At this point, I've repaired the disk and repaired permissions, but that's about as much as I know how to do. I'd be grateful for any help that anyone can offer.
Thanks!

Hi Sam.
I don’t know what’s going on. I suggest reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update (which you say you’ve already done), no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

How can I print a booklet where each pdf page is vertically placed on each half page instead of one pdf on each booklet page?

I've printed a booklet before but each pdf page had two powerpoint slides on each pdf file. This binder has one powerpoint slide on each pdf page and if I try to print it as a binder, each pdf page takes up the whole half-page on the booklet. I want to print two pdf slides on each page of the booklet so when I open the booklet, there are four powerpoint slides printed. So I basically want to combine the ability to print multiple slides per page but in a booklet form.

Why not reconstruct the pages in InDesign they way you want the double pages to appear. There may even be an imposition script available that will do the trick. You could then output to pdf all the pages you want the full spread on. Leave the original to create the pages you wanted left as is.
You can ask in the ID forum about an imposition script. I know there was one with CS4, there may have been one with CS3.

How do I open a pdf on a web page in Safari without Acrobat Reader?

At the moment I have removed Acrobat Reader 10.3.1 because it conflicts with Safari. Preview is a perfectly fine pdf reader (and with lots of very nice features) but I don't see how I can make Preview open a pdf from a web page until it has been downloaded to file. And I have found at least one site that will not download to file before opening.

Right-click in the PDF when it's displayed in Safari and select Open with Preview from the popup menu. Depending on how the PDF is embedded in the web page, this may not be possible.

How do I open a PDF to a specific page via the command line?

Several questions about opening PDFs from the Mac OS X command line:
1) How do I use the "open" command to open a PDF to a specific page? (I know I can open a document via: open doc_name.pdf)
2) How do I use the "open" command to pass multiple arguments (page no, zoom scale, view mode, etc...) to open a PDF file in a specific manner?
3) Does Preview handle the same parameters as Acrobat Reader? If not, what are the differences in options?
I've spent hours searching for this answer and have come up dry. I've downloaded Adobe's "PDF Open Parameters" document -- it lists all of the parameters I need, however I can't get any of them to work from the command line.
My goal: Open a PDF from the command line to a specific page. At first glance, I thought this would be simple to do and find -- however, after a lot of searching I haven't found an example on how to do it.
Anyone have any experience doing this, and care to share?
Much appreciated! ---> Kelsey

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

How do I create a single PDF file with multiple pages?

Hi, I occasionally need merge several jpg images into a single pdf file with multiple pages (one Jpg per page). I have tried doing this on Preview, and by selecting all the pages I want to include in my document and trying to save to Pdf through the "Print" function, but every time it only saves the first page.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to save multple-page pdf files without having to purchase a specific program (i to this too infrequently to justify the cost)?
Thanks very much,

This works for me...
Open first image in Preview View > Sidebar. Drag the other images into Sidebar, then select all.
From File menu > print selected images. Choose PDF > Save as PDF

I have a pdf. document with 100 pages. These are white postcards with addresses. I need to move all the address farther to the left. How can I move them all at the same time?

1) I need to drag the same text on 100 pages at the same time to the same place. Is there a simultaneous way I can do this? the pdf file has 100 pages of a 4x 6 posta cards that contain addresses: one address per page, I need to select all addresses and at the same time move them to the same place within the postcard. I can select the text on one card (page) at a time and drag it to the desired place. The PROBLEM is that I need to do it at the same time on every page. otherwise it takes too long.
