PDF Page count question (not coding related)

Vista has numerous types of details it can display and sort with (size, date modified, etc.).
I found "pages" in that list but it doesn't seem to be intended for pdf files.
Can windows (or another software solution) display the page count of individual pdf files when viewing a folder containing multiple pdf's?  If so, how do I get that rolling?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're right, the minimum number of pages is 20, single or double sided. You will get 4 blank pages at the end. You can check it out by going thru the ordering process and after the book if finished assembling and you're at the next window, do the following to find and copy the pdf file that iPhoto creates to upload and print:
How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
3 - copy the following, “/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto” (for Panther the path is "/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto“), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.
You can then cancel the operation if you're not happy with the result.

  • Adobe Reader 11 "choose paper source by pdf page size" does not work

    Hello,
    I have a user that utilizes the "choose paper source by pdf page size" option when printing a PDFs. He has a PDF that has a letter sized page and a legal sized page.
    I recently upgraded his Adobe Reader from 10 to 11 and now that option isn't working for him. The printer is an HP LaserJet M2727nf MFP.
    Are their any bugs regarding that feature in the new Adobe Reader?
    Thanks!

    If you have not updated Acrobat, try that before you go further. Currently AA9 is at 9.5.1.

  • Getting fast PDF page count (without opening file)?

    I’ve got a menu with about 100 PDFs and for various
    reasons I’d like to display the page count for each. I could
    enter the page count by hand but that becomes a maintenance
    nightmare as the PDFs are updated and someone (myself included)
    will forget to update the count. Opening each PDF in an xtra to get
    the page count would be too slow for 100 documents . I’ve
    found a dll that claims to parse the PDF header and quickly count
    PDF pages which might work (we’re already using dllBinder for
    MAPI access) although I haven’t started experimenting with
    it. Has anyone tried something similar? Can I parse the header with
    lingo/Buddy API and avoid working with the dll black box?

    I would take an approach in between the extremes you listed.
    Consider
    this. Make a list of all the documents, and make an automated
    process
    using Impressario or something to get the total pages in all
    100
    documents. Save this list. It will take a bit to open and
    close all
    the docs, but it only need to be done once. From then on,
    compare to
    the saved list. Whenever a doc gets changed use your
    automated
    Impressario process to update the list.
    If the DLL route doesn't pan out, then that is how I would go
    about it.
    You;d still need to remember to update your list after every
    change,
    but at least it is an automatic process.

  • Book page count question

    I am about to order my first book, a 11" x 8.5" softcover. In iPhoto it is sixteen pages long but when I go to order it says I will have 4 blank pages. On the iPhoto information pages it says the minimum number of pages is 10 not 20. What did I miss here? Is it a minimum of 10 pages front/back making 20 numbered pages? If I order how it is will I have the last 4 numbered pages just white or will they look like some random template page?

  • PDF Page Size does not match Canvas Size

    Hello,
    I'm using Xcelsius 2008 Engage SP1 on Vista 64bit with Office 2007 installed. When I'm exporting a Xcelsius file to PDF, the resulting Page Size of the PDF file is 8.5in x 11in. However, the Canvas size in Xcelsius is 800x600 (pixels). The resulting PDF file has quite a bit of whitespace in the top and bottom sections of the file.
    Is there anyway that I can export to PDF but with a file size that is in the same aspect ratio than the Canvas Size?
    Thanks for any input.
    Regards,
    Jon

    We regularly export to PDF and face this issue.  I believe that the adjustments need to be made in Acrobat as there is, from my understanding, no way to change the default export in Xcelsius.  You are probably already be doing this, but if not ... our solution has been, once you have exported your model into Acrobat, to simply rotate the page before saving the file.  At 800 x 600 you may still have some white space at the top and bottom of your model.  We typically use an Xcelsius canvas size of 1100 x 850.  When exported (and rotated in Acrobat) this gives a nice crisp image that also fills the page.  I hope this helps you.

  • Bit of an odd upgrade question (not iPhone related I swear!).

    Alright, so here is the situation. I will be the first to say I suck at figuring out the hows and whys of these things. I am hoping some of you are Verizon gurus and can explain this all to me.
    Right now I am rocking an HTC Touch Pro 2, nifty phone, for its time it was a beast, lost its edge to the Droid behemoth these days though. Anyways I am looking to upgrade. I was mulling around the idea of an iPhone but have decided against it. I did however go to the page and plugged in the information to buy an iPhone, despite my new every two/upgrade period still being six months away it said my line was eligible for an upgrade and was going to give me the promo price of $199/299 to get locked into another two year contract. I also recall recieving a text a while back saying I could do the same thing for the Droid X.
    My question is, is this promotion limited to certain phones? I really have my eye set on the Thunderbolt and I am wondering if when that phone hits it will let me lock myself into a new 2 year contract for the promo price of that phone like it would have the Droid X and iPhone.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Sounds like you ARE eligible for your annual upgrade (are you the primary, or only line on the account? IS you base plan $49.99 or more per month?)
    You can get the 2 yr promo pricing on a new phone, you lose any additional $30 or $50 credit you may be eligible for, and there is a $20 upgrade fee. For some, it's worth that to get the early upgrade at 12 months rather than 20 months on a 2 year contract.

  • How to determine the page count of the front document (pdf-Preview) with applescript?

    Hello, I'm a beinnger apple scripter, and I have 2 questions. First, im trying to find the code to generate a page count for the front document of preview. I tried something like this:
    choose file with prompt "Count the number of pages in this PDF file:" without invisibles
    do shell script "/usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemNumberOfPages " & quoted form of POSIX path of result & " | /usr/bin/grep -o '[0-9]\\+$'"
    But I dont want to have to choose a file with the prompt, and Im not sure how to get the path or POSIX path of an open pdf that is the front document in prievew to then use that directory to select the file to run the shell script on. This is one step in a much larger sequence of automator/apple script commands for large print jobs.
    The large scale view is:
    1. seleting a group .musx Finale 2014 files and creating pdfs of all the documents
         -Achieved with Automator stuff: [Get selected finder items] [open finder items with Finale 2014] [run applescript to convert to pdf all the open files] (which I have working but without a proper repeat condition)
    2. sorting those those exports into even/odd groups
    3. making the even pages 2 up with a create booklet plugin
    3. combinging even/odd group pdfs in their respective folders
    4. sending the 2 up evens to 1 printer, and the singes to another printer.
    but at this stage in the code/automator this is what i'll need to be doing:
    1. Several pdf documents will be open and I need to determine the page count of the front document.
    2. With that result I need to determine if the pagecount is even or odd.
    3. If its even, I need to save as pdf in a file folder /desktop/PDF Export/Doubles
         - if its odd, I need to save as pdf pages from 1 to (pageCount -1) to /desktop/PDF Export/Doubles, and pages (pageCount) to (pageCount) to desktop/PDF Export/Singles. (example: A 5 page pdf will send pages 1-4 to folder "Doubles", and pages from 5 to 5 to Singles, A 1 page pdf will only send a copy to the folder "Singles." A 2 page pdf will send both pages to "doubles"
    4. once the even/odd pages have had pdfs made in the either or both of the folders, Im going to close the document and repeat for all other open pdfs.
    Which also brings me to my 2nd repeat condition question: how can I repeat (print, save as pdf, close) commands for open files and end the script once all files are closed? This can help me both at this stage, as well the coding stage before in creating the pdfs from open Finale/sibelius .sib/.musx files
    would it be something like this?:
    If front document exists
    try
    tell application "preview"
    <bla bla>
    end try
    end tell
    At stage 1 of the large scale i've gotten the files to export pdfs and close multiple files, but if i say "repeat 4 times" and i have 3 files it can do those commands but it gets stuck trying to repeat the code one more time. I need the repeat amount x to be the # of items in selection from the the original finder window.
    Thanks for the help!

    The following AppleScript will get the POSIX path and filename of the current PDF file. It will just return the integer value for page count. Note: The path retrieved is the actual path to the PDF file, unless it is on the Desktop. In the latter case, the path will be ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview/Data/Desktop/filename.pdf.
    The script assumes that the following folders exist, otherwise you will need a try block to test for their presence.
    The AppleScript dictionary for Preview does not provide a page dictionary entry, that would make a repeat loop and page range possible for saving individual page ranges.
    set pdfDoubles to POSIX path of ((path to desktop) & "PDF Export" & Doubles)
    set pdfSingles to POSIX path of ((path to desktop) & "PDF Export" & Singles)
    tell application "Preview"
      -- gets quoted POSIX path and filename
              set pdfFile to (get path of front document)
              set pdfName to (get name of front document)
      log pdfName
              set cmdArg to "/usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemNumberOfPages " & pdfFile ¬
                        & " | egrep -o \"(\\d+)\""
              set pageCnt to do shell script cmdArg
      display dialog pageCnt
              if pageCnt mod 2 is 0 then
      -- even
      -- save pdfName in pdfDoubles
              else
      -- save pdfName in pdfDoubles
      -- save individual pages in pdfSingles
              end if
    end tell

  • How can I get a total page count of a PDF before placing every page in the PDF?

    Before the [long] spiel, I'm using javascript in InDesign CS3.
    I'd like to create a script that places a multiPage PDF in any number of different impositions. (saddle stitch, 4up signatures, 16up signatures etc.)
    I've easily created a script that iterates through a PDF and places it into a new document as (4,1|2,3), (8,5|6,7) etc, which works for printing in duplex, folding each page in half, and gluing the resulting spines to make a simple thick book (for PDFs with more than, say, 64 pages).
    However, the next step is to re-write the script to create a saddle stitch document (16,1|2,15), (14,3|4,13) ... (10,7|8,9). For this I need to know how many pages there are in the PDF before I start placing the PDF pages, and then making the new document [int((PDFpages+3)/4)] pages long.
    Is there a simple way to get the count of PDFpages without going through a loop and placing the next page from the PDF until the placed page number equals the first page number?
    This way seems wasteful:
    var totPDFPages = 1;
    app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = totPDFPages;
    myPDFPage = sheetFront.place(File(srcPDF), [0,0])[0];
    var pdfFirstPage = myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber;
    while (doneCounting == false) {
    totPDFPages += 1;app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = totPDFPages;
    myPDFPage = sheetFront.place(File(srcPDF), [0,0])[0];
    if (myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber == pdfFirstPage) {
    totPDFPages -=1;
    doneCounting = true;
    alert("PDF has " + totPDFPages + " pages!");exit();
    myPDFPage.remove();
    NB. Javascript above *hasn't* been run, but should look similar once debugged.
    The only thing I've though of to relieve the sheer duplication of placing the PDF twice (once for the count, and once for the imposition), is to create an array of impoPages[counter]=myPDFPage, and then shuffle the pages referenced by the array to the correct sheet and position.
    It'd be much easier to be able to assign pageCount = File(srcPDF).pageCount !!!
    Thanks for any help/tips or even a simple "What are you smoking, man!?"
    Cheers,
    Jezz

  • Acrobat Help | Rotating, moving, deleting, and renumbering PDF pages

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/manipulating-deleting-renumbering-pdf-pages.html

    Acrobat does not go through images to evaluate the content. You are making a judgement call when you do it. With your file I was able to use the crop tool for 2-5. P. 6 showed up offset and had to be changed. P. 1 was centered and different from the rest. I would use the odd and even features and then simply go back through and look for the pages that need to be touched up. That should do the trick. Supposedly Reduce File size will make the crop complete, but I have never found that to work well - it may be worth a shot. Another option is to print to a new PDF to delete the cropping.

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .

  • How to get Page Count of pdf in Document library in EventHandler

    Hi,
    How to get Page Count of pdf in Document library once uploaded has been done and i would like to update the page count value in document library column of the corresponding file.

    Hello,
    If you are looking for file download or view count then event handler will not work. You need to enable the analytic report to your site. Once you enable it then you can see the report within a browser or you can also create custom webpart to show count
    of specific file.

    I believe that iText reads and stores the complete PDF in memory when you get a page count. You will need to give the application 1.5GB (plus a little for overhead) or use a different PDF lib.

  • 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.

  • How to print PDF few pages duplex but not all from one PDF Doc?

    Hi,
    We have a desktop application that we use and it gives instructions to printer which document to duplex and which to not. For easy understanding, in a PDF if there are 10 pages, i want to take first two pages whenever they are  printed they go  on duplex rest of 8 pages should print without duplex. I have a PDF of these 10 pages document and want to send via email to one, so that if he has duplex printer, he just send that PDF doc to printer and it automatically send first two pages duplexed then rest of 8 pages per paper. So finally he get 9 printed hard copies. My question is, is there any capability in PDF document we can apply per page that when go on printer it instructs to printer to duplex me or not. Like we have PDF properties associated with doc. Can we setup such property for each page? I know this is not a good question, but our business requies to send PDF to customers and we do save this to do ourself, How customer know which page to duplex then?
    If there is any automated solution we can give to customers? The PDF each page take decision by its own when going on printer it says i have to go on back of the paper and the other  says i won't have to be duplexed?
