Pdf - pages A4 into middle of A3

So this is what I am trying to do:
I have a pdf which is the syllabus of one of my subjects. It's about 50-60 pages long.
Imagine I have this printed in A4, full size.
I want to print the A4 page, in the middle of the A3 page which would leave half an A4 blank space to each side of the A3 page.
This would be like photocopying the A4 page on A3 paper. Basically a portrait A4 page in landscape A3.
The reason for this:
It's easier to annotate on each blank side the syllabus, to make sure I know everything.
I do not know how to export pdf into pages so that I can outline this accordingly.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

C,
Here are the steps.
When you have completed and Saved your Pages Document on an A5 Portrait layout, File > Print > PDF > Open PDF in Preview.
In Preview, File > Print. You will get this dialog box:
In the Preview.app Print dialog, make the following settings:
Paper size: A4
Orientation: Landscape
Auto-Rotate: Off
Scale: 100%
I beleive this is what you are looking for.

Merging more than one PDF page into a singe page.

Hi All,
Here is my new requirement.
I need to merge two PDF page contents into a single PDF page.
Is there any way to active this.
Looking forward to your help.

Hi PDL and Leo,
I am attaching the code below. Kindly let me know what mistake I am doing.

Rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using Acrobat SDK DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard()

I am trying to find whether each page in PDF document is color or monochrome.
For doing this I am rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using Acrobat SDK DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard()
Once after rendering the PDF page, I am using GetPixel() to read each pixel value to decide about color or Monochrome.
Problem:
When I read the pixel to decide about the page color or monochorme, in some XP machines it is showing the PDF page as color and in some PC it is showing it as Monochrome. Color quality in both the system is kept as 32 Bit.
After this I tried copying the PDF page directly into clipboard and then take the clipboard image to decide about color and monochorme, but even this also behaves in the similar way.
Question:
Why rendering the PDF page to Bitmap object using DrawEx() or CopyToClipboard() is behaving differently in each machines.
If required I will send my sample project.
With regards,
Rajeshrv.

In SDK documentation, there is no methods are defined for getting the color of the page. In color spaces and color values, we can set the color for drawing operations. A method AVPageViewSetColor is used for setting the color.
But there is no methods defined for getting the color in the page. Please let me know , is there any alternative way.
Thanks in advance.

Thank Your for your concern, there are many replies & posts but all of them points only to Try what they have said. As being said that trying to convert PDF to binary & appending many PDF similarly would not let you generate a single PDF again.
Your Kind guidance would be really appreciable.

I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

How to split PDF pages into separate pages?

I have a PDF document that is in booklet format (i.e., front cover and rear cover on a single page) with two pages to a single 8-1/2 X 11 page size. Is there an application that can split the double pages into separate PDF pages? I don't want to use screen capture to create separate PDF's if there is a better way.

There are a lot of utilities for PDF files so you might search at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate to see what's available. PDF Clerk and PDF Pen may let you drag each page out of the document as a separate file. Even Preview may let you do the same.

Splitting dual book pages into separate pdf pages

I have a book scanned into pdf with two book pages per adobe page (side by side). How can I split the pdf page in way that each book page becomes its own pdf page? My chief concern is that one side is always tilted which makes reading and highlighting difficult. Any help would be great. I have Acrobat 9 pro on vista. thanks.

I have had to do this in the past, but the problem is the file size then
doubles. I haven't figured out an easy to way to remove the data from the
cropped areas.

PREVIEW How do I use it to assemble PDF pages into a book? I used to be able to do it, but now the pages do not follow on one after another.

I used to be able to load PDF pages into Preview to make a book and to see the pages follow one after the other. Now the pages stay separate even when the file is saved and opened in either Adobe reader or Preview.

Are you going to the thumbnail view and dragging the separate PDF's onto the top one so they combine?

How to combine pdf pages into a single pdf document

I´ve done this before but I forgot. Can anyone help me?

Hi profesora.2014.2015,
Adobe Reader is a free trusted standard for reliably viewing, printing, and annotating PDF documents. It’s the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia.
In order to combine PDF pages into a single PDF file, you need to either use Adobe Acrobat (Merging and combining PDF files | Acrobat XI - Adobe India) or Adobe PDF pack (Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack).

Combining multiple pdf pages into a single document

I realize this is probably an inappropriate request -- probably? almost certainly -- for this forum, but perhaps someone can refer me to another source for a solution.
I would like to combine several pages individually scanned to pdf format into a single pdf document. How do I do that? (I have only Adobe Reader. I do not have any applications for creating and editing pdf pages.)
Hope you'll forgive the inappropriate request, and thanks to anyone who can refer me to a more appropriate source.
Sincerely,
Eric Weir

I would like to combine several pages individually scanned to pdf format into a single pdf document. How do I do that?
You already have the application installed -- Preview. Whether the source files are single page or multipage documents, whether they are all on size/orientation or come in multiple dimensions/orientations, simply ...
1) Open each in a separate Preview window,
2) Open the "sidebar" for each window,
3) Drag one or more icon pages from any of the source Preview sidebar windows to your target Preview sidebar window,
4) Arrange the order of the pages in the target sidebar window as desired, and
5) Save resulting document under a new name using the "Save As..." File menu option.
ADDED: Oops! Too slow. Someone else beat me to it...

Printer goes dead and reboots in the middle of some PDF pages

My Photosmart Plus B209a printer goes dead in the middle of some PDF pages. If I avoid printing those, the rest might print fine. It seems like the printer has problem with interpretation of some part of the print. I doubt it is problem with the communication,since reprinting the failed page 10 times, makes the printer go down exactly the same place on the page.
Any ideas?

Call the Apple Store that repaired it. You need to advise them that you are having "issues."

Jpg pictures into Pdf pages

How do I: put multiple PDF pictures into one PDF page?

I have just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro Ver 9 - so this apllication and its associated SDK are the only applications available to me for use.
Adobe Acrobat was chosen because of its AutoCAD capabilities (when AutoCAD is not present). i.e. Using Acrobat & AutoCAD's plot configuration files & Pen / colour selection table ensures the output has correct line thicknesses (sometimes colours in CAD are used to represent a line's thickness) - this is preserved when using Acrobat.
The generated output is fantastic. However, when I try to print the output via Excel / Word (used for layout) - my perfect output is reduced to imperfect results.
So: is it possible to layout multiple PDF pictures inside one PDF entity for printing purposes such that the original output is not distorted?
I have in the past put pages in front or behind other pages but cannot find any references or code that works with Pro 9 nor indeed the manual way to insert PDF pages at any location on a single PDF Page?
I'll try and explain. My template coud consist of 6 boxes on a single A4 page thus:
My base PDF Page (can be thought of as a template - ideally it wont be printed - but even if it is - it wont be printed on any media material) has 6 areas (any number of areas up to 100) on it. In each area, there is a box. It is within these boxes that I wish to place a PDF Picture. Not all pictures will be the same. How can I do that? Ideally I'd like some example C# code - though doing it as a user will suffice, for now.
Is there a way of programmatically selecting each of the above boxes on the base PDF Document?
I do know of one manual method (though it seems long winded) and it is not accurate enough in that (even though the layers are deselected) - the hidden layers are subsequently outputed too - not good!
Uses a button icon over each box.
All the current Adobe help for the SDK refers to Pro 8 and previously - which all seems to have now been replaced in Pro 9
This question will be placed in the Developer & User Forums - as it pertains to both.
Thankyou in advance for anyone that either knows any workarounds or any ways to affect a solution.

Picture of what I want to see:
What I get, and don't want to see is:
The PDF was generated using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from an AutoCAD LT (DWG) file without AutoCAD being present but making use of a plot configuration (PC3) file & pen table (CTB) file. The resultant file [WhatIWantToSee.pdf] is perfect - all the lines are the right thickness & colour and are perfect vectors (with no construction / proofing layers visible). When you view that file in Acrobat and show the "Layers" property box, you see that the correct number of layers whilst are still present are indeed turned off.
However, when I add a forms-button to one of the rectangles (please refer to initial post - where there are 6 rectangles), and display same file as icon display. The resultant view is the one shown above named [ What I get and don't want to see]. It seems the saved layer settings are all ignored?
I generated the PDF file through Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Menu | File | Create PDF | From File (Files of type Autodesk) | Options | Selected Layers | Layout | Last Active Layout.
Rectangles are regular content elements - not fields (in the general meaning of form-fields).
