PDF Pages to Artboards error
So, I searched the forums on opening a multi-page pdf with all the pages on art boards, found a link to download a script "PDF Pages to Artboards".
Once i downloaded it on my desktop i placed it in my dock (Mac), then dragged the multi-page pdf file over and dropped it on the icon on my dock... I then got an error window which read;
Adobe Illustrator got an error: Can’t get alias "Mark's HD:Users:Mark:Desktop:AKAI Product Sheet.pdf". (-1728) Event: doProcess(1, 100.0, 7, "acrossdown", false)
Script: application
I was hoping someone knows what this is, and if there is a solution.
Many Thanks,
Mark.
Thanks. I removed the spaces from both the script and pdf file, and moved the script file into to the Illustrator CS4 main file. Although im still getting an error window;
AppleScript Runtime Error
Adobe Illustrator got an error:Can’t get alias "Mark's
HD:Users:Mark:Desktop:Focus Industries:all that:3rd
Batch:AKAIProductSheet.pdf". (-1728)
Event: doProcess(1, 100.0, 7, "acrossdown", false)
Script: application
Not sure what that means, maybe you can get something from it.
Thanks again.
Mark.

2Sided Original 1Sided ADF Scanner -Combine PDF Pages - Data Error?
I just purchased a scanner with an Auto Document Feeder, ADF, of 25 pages after trying to use it I found out through the company that it only scans one side. I have another ADF scanner where the software allows the user to flip the pages over and then reinserts them for the final PDF file. Instead of spending more on a double sided scanner I figured I would create a program using Automator.
The script I created worked a few times but after some tweaking it stopped.
The problem is just before the Combine PDF Pages where I have two "Get Value of Variables" which I set as PDF Documents at the beginning of the script.
The log reads before and at the point of error;
Conversion from Files/Folders (com.apple.applescript.alias-object) to PDF files com.apple.applescript.alias-object.pdf) completed.
. ! The action "Combine PDF Pages" was not supplied with the required data.
The variables are showing the entire path to include the filename and extention of my selected PDFs, but the log above the error seems to change the variable to the appropriately desired object.
? What I need to do to correct this error because it seemed to work earlier by using variables?
The script would be useful for any type of ADF scanner that outputs one-sided to PDFs and the originals are two-sided.
Your help is appreciated.

I have been working in Automator for this program and saved it as an Applescript plug-in for the Scripts Menu. I don't have to have it as a script I just need it to work.
The pecular thing was while testing the program in Automator before exporting it to the plug-in the program was skitish meaning that at first it didn't work then I added 'view results' and then afterwards it seemed to work. After this I removed 'view results' and it worked then I exported it but since then I can't get it to work again even after reinserting 'view results'. -
I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?
So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8. -

Extract PDF pages with it's actual page numbers...
Hi scripting gurus,
We have more than 40 of PDF documents each document contain multiple pages. Using Acrobat Professional 7.0 and 8.0 with MAC platform. We have the script to extract the pages and to suffix running numbers with the document name, please find the script below. For example CH01.pdf document total number of pages is 10, but the actual page number starts with 11. So We have to extract each pages as individual documents and the page number will followed by document name with "_" separation, (Eg: CH01_11.pdf). I have tried so many ways to include the page numbers with the document name but i can't.
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 1, j = 0; j < numPages; i += 1, j += 1) {
extractPages ({
nStart : j,
nEnd : j == numPages - 1 ? j : j + 0,
cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/"+startName+"_"+i+".pdf"
So please can anyone look into this and help for me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Thiyagutry67
First of all, replace numPages with this.numPages
Also, this doesn't make any sense:
nEnd : i == numPages - 1
I have tried what you have said above, but it is not working. Its showing the same error (missing ; before statement)in 4th line of the script.
Please find the complete code below;
// see if we need to define a global offset first file
if(global.fPageOffset == undefined) {
var global.fPageOffset = 10; // start at 10
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) { this.extractPages ({ nStart : i, nEnd : i == this.numPages - 1 , cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/" + startName + "_" + (i + global.PageOffset) + ".pdf" }); }
// add finished file's number of pages to global page offest
global.fPageOffest += this.numPages;

Hi all,
I am using Adobe Pro 11 and on opening a pdf I am getting error 'Insufficient Data for an Image'. Please help and provide a workaround if the solution not there.
I have already set the preferences to for page view to low zoom settings, and page fit view settings, but it never opens the pdf. Please check and provide a solution asap.
Thanks in advance!Most of the documents have sensitive info on them. I will have to do some looking for some that i can share, but will get something to upload (dropbox) as soon as I can.
Thanks for you help. -
Bug in Automator's Combine PDF Pages action?
Hi guys,
I've been playing around with 10.6's new Automator and Services. I decided to make an Automator Service so that if I have some PDFs selected in Finder, I can combine all the pages into one PDF and save it to a location. So I created the following service:
* Get Selected Finder Items
* Combine PDF Pages (appending pages)
* Move Finder Items (to Desktop by default, show this action when the workflow runs)
* Rename file (comes up as Name Single Item in Finder Item Names, show this action when the workflow runs)
I tested this in Automator by selecting some PDFs on my desktop and hitting the Run button; everything worked out well. So I saved it as an Automator Service, only available for PDF files but in all applications (drop down lists at the top of the Automator window).
I noticed however when I ran this workflow as a service, the pages in the resulting PDF file is actually duplicated. For example, if I had page 1 in page1.pdf, and page 2 in page2.pdf, running the service on these two files will produce a PDF with the following pages: page 1, page 2, page 1, page 2.
Does this happen to anyone else in here, or is it just me? I tried saving the workflow as an application, placed it in the Dock, and then dropped my test files on it and it does the same thing. And this happens with other PDF files too.
Is this a bug? Can someone confirm that it happens on their machine too?
Thanks.Anyone? It doesn't take long to create an Automator workflow with the 4 actions above. Probably 2 minutes max. Can someone test on their machine?
I tried to do the same with my MBP, which I also upgraded to Snow Leopard, and it does the same thing there. For some reason, it works perfectly when the workflow is run within Automator, but when it's exported as an Application or a Service, it duplicates pages.
I tried to submit a bug report to Apple, but I couldn't log in with my current Apple ID -- it shows me an error page to submit a bug report! That's what I've been trying to do in the first place, but it seems the bug report process has bugs that they want you to report on. Chicken and egg scenario methinks. -
How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up? I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?
Hi Rave,
InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type. I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document. The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document. That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do. I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago. I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
Thanks,

How to export antialiased images of PDF pages?
Hello all:
I recently upgraded to Acrobat XI, and I am surprised to see that you STILL cannot export (or Save As) PDF pages to images that are ANTIALIASED!? Does anyone have a simple answer for this that doesn't involve a workflow of more than 5 steps? This is so headslappingly obvious a need that I'm at a loss for what Adobe's engineers are thinking when programming the Save As Image functions...
I posted this question all the way back in 2009 (see post at http://forums.adobe.com/message/2411677#2411677), and still the answer is the same: when Acrobat saves pages as TIF or JPEG files, they are ALIASED. Who would want that? Who?! WHY?
It's simply exasperating that Adobe does not include a tiny, little check box that says "Antialiased" in the "Save As TIF / JPEG Settings" dialog box where you set all kinds of parameters like resolution and colorspace....If the exporting process would just include antialiasing, you could set the resolution you desire and YOU'RE DONE.
But, as far as I can tell, you still have to perform some kind of gymnastic routine like:
Open the PDF and select all the desired page thumbnails to export.
Right-click and choose Extract Pages. Make sure to check "Extract Pages as Separate Files."
Export all the separate PDFs for each desired page into a folder somewhere.
Open Photoshop and start recording an Action.
Open one of the PDFs and specify the desired resolution.
Save it in a desired location in an image file of your choice (TIF/JPEG).
Stop recording the Action.
Delete the resulting image you made of the test PDF page to avoid an overwriting error later when running the batch (or check box to overwrite in batch dialog).
Run the Action in Batch mode on the entire folder of separate PDF pages.
This is preposterous.
Adobe, please get the simple things right for everyday low-level users before adding feature bloat to Acrobat with each passing version. Please.Hi Dave: Good points about reducing feature bloat and installer footprint taking priority for most users...
However, if, as you say:
Acrobat and Adobe Reader are developed as a standalone product family....
Ultimately, since you can get an AA bitmap of a PDF file by just opening it in Photoshop etc., there is very little commercial demand for Adobe to include that feature in Acrobat.
then, those people who do not have Photoshop (because AA is designed to be standalone, right?) cannot access antialiasing in exporting PDF images at all! Your point is exactly my point.
If there is so little demand, then why include Export to Image functionality at all? Just eliminate it completely to save installer footprint space!....But, then, I'm sure you realize people would complain about that immediately, no? So, again, why include it at all when it's only able to export aliased images which virtually nobody is going to want? That's very passive-aggressive toward's Adobe's users. Nobody really benefits from half-baked features only begrudgingly included in software to placate the vocal minority of users who would otherwise miss it. I realize this isn't a huge issue for most users, but I think this points to a larger mentality within Adobe and the software industry in general....
There is a huge number of people working in corporations that own legacy versions of AA who have not and will not likely subscribe to Creative Cloud! (e.g.: The 100-person architecture/engineering firm I worked at for 10 years had one copy of Photoshop on a community graphics workstation and made everyone use a sign-up sheet to access it.)
Also, it's nice in theory that PDFs are supposed to be a print format. But, many many times, AA users have to make images (for PowerPoint, blogs, client portals etc.) from PDFs that they did not originally create and do not have the source files to recreate or export as images from their originating software. PDF export to images from Acrobat is their only choice without access to Photoshop.
And, if AA is truly designed to be a stand-alone product, untethered from the capabilities of the entire suite of functionality across Creative Cloud apps, then a modular plug-in approach to controlling feature bloat would be more appropriate, no?
For example, AutoCAD is a giant, sprawling application for technical drawing. And AutoDesk has recognized over the years that AutoCAD is used by many industries, each with special needs unneccesary to other industries' user base. So, they've created add-on packs of plug-ins that transform vanilla AutoCAD into AutoCAD for Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Bridge Design, Home Building, etc....see where I'm going?
And Adobe has a far larger installed user base for Acrobat than AutoDesk does for AutoCAD! How about plugins like AA for Technical Publishing, AA for 3D modeling, AA for Presentations?... -
Merging PDF / Page Numbers / Acrobat SDK V9 & LiveCycle
Hello everyone,
I use Adobe LiveCycle to create forms, Visual Studio 2005 and the Acrobat SDK for the application I'm programming to fill in these forms. The application fills in the forms and merges them with no issues.
The problem I have is that these pages have page numbers in the upper right. I use the Page N of M object on these forms in LiveCycle. PDF page numbers are filled in correctly when filling in the forms, but when I merge PDFs, the pages keep their original page numbers. I've looked at the Windows - Interapplication Communications even using templates to no avail.
How can I merge these pdf's and have my program renumber these pages correctly and how can insert pages anywhere I want in the merge document?
Below is the code I use to merge the PDF's. It was posted in a forum.
Sub MergePDF(ByVal ThePath As String, ByVal outFileName As String)
On Error GoTo serror
Dim dPDDocMerge As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim dPDDoc As New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
Dim strFiles() As String
Dim numPage As Integer
Dim TotalPage As Integer
Dim objThisFile As IO.FileInfo 'get FileInfo object for file string
strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(ThePath) ' Read in the file names
Dim b As Boolean ' mostly for testing purposes... could use it for error 'checking to make sure that a file is really added before deleleting it...
For i As Integer = 0 To strFiles.Length - 1 ' run through all the files in 'the directory
objThisFile = New IO.FileInfo(strFiles(i)) ' Get the extension
If objThisFile.Extension = ".pdf" Then ' Only add in PDFs
If dPDDocMerge.GetFileName = "" Then ' check if it's the first file
dPDDocMerge = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDocMerge.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open first file
TotalPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages
Else
dPDDoc = New Acrobat.AcroPDDoc
b = dPDDoc.Open(strFiles(i)) ' open other files
numPage = dPDDocMerge.GetNumPages ' get the page count
TotalPage += numPage
b = dPDDocMerge.InsertPages(numPage - 1, dPDDoc, 0, dPDDoc.GetNumPages, _ False) ' Insert
End If
End If
Next
'b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & outFileName) ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Save(1, ThePath & "\" & "\MyTest.PDF") ' save file
b = dPDDocMerge.Close()
Exit Sub
serror:
MsgBox(ErrorToString)
End Sub
Thanks for any code or advice.You can't merge LiveCycle forms this way :(. LC forms are NOT standard PDF files and can't be processed in the same way.

Icon size for audio file insert on a PDF page.
Acrobate X V10.1.9 Windows 7.
I wish to insert an audio file on a pdf page. I select "multimedia", "sound". Get the window to select the file. Once selected I then find that I cannot size the icon that appears on the page (click to play). The two fields are grayed out. If I click "OK" it results in a very large "click to play" icon. I cannot resize the icon on the page..
Does this function require C++? Have been getting an error message on PC startup about something being in error. I click OK and all seems to be working ok.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JoeYou can crop it, but the size will not change to letter. However, after cropping, you can print with expand to fit page selected. If you like you can expand this to a new PDF using print, though not generally the recommended approach. Do you have any idea how it was reduced in the first place? If so, have you tried the reverse process?

Export the pdf from indesign some error Pop Up window (Failed to Export the PDF file). How slove the problem
Please some one help on thisYou need to try exporting the first half of the book.
If that exports ok then export the other half of the book.
Whatever half it fails on - keep dividing the book in half to find the culprit page or pages.
For example if your book is 128 pages long:
1. Export pages 1 - 63
2. If these Fail to Export then
3. try exporting1-32
4. If these Fail to Export
5. then try exporting1-16
If it doesn't fail (step 2)
Then export pages 64-128
and 64-90 etc.
until you find the pages causing the issues. -
How to OCR an image embed in a pdf page that already has some text?
I have a pdf page that has both texts and an image on it. I can not run OCR on the whole because I see the following error message.
Acrobat could not perform recognition (OCR) on this page because: This page contains rederable text.
Is there a way to limit the OCR only on the image but not the whole page?The only way to OCR on the page would be to save the page (or the PDF) as a set of TIFF files (the set is created automatically). Then open the TIFFs in Acrobat (drag and drop works best). You can then OCR the result that is pure graphics. If there is anything other than a pure graphic on a page, Acrobat will not OCR.
