Placing a multiple page pdf over multiple pages in indesign

Ok so I do alot of "print presentations," when designing books or manuals etc
I have to place the spreads of the document into their own A3 pages in another indesign file
So I make a pdf with all the spreads I need.
Then I place the pdf and with import options say all pages.
But now I still have to click on each page where I would like to have the spread
How can I take lets say a 74 spread pdf and place it so that all the spreads go onto their own page all on the same spot?
Is it possible or do I have to place them all on their own?
Also how do I apply the same effect to all these pages, lets say a drop shadow and a stroke?
Please help, because this is very time consuming and deadlines don't wait.
Thank you
Laetitia

Convert multi-page pdf to multi-page jpg files?

Hi,
My boss has asked me to convert a large number of multiple-page pdfs into multiple-page jpgs. I have been able to convert the pdfs to jpgs in photo shop using image processor, but the processor only captures the first page of the multiple page documents and when I have been able to convert an entire pdf to jpeg, it creates individual jpg files for each separate page.
How can I convert the multiple-page pdf file to a single multiple-page jpg file?
many thanks!

You have the right idea.
1.Make each page a jpg file. Pretend they are named Page 1, Page 2, etc.
2. Create a new file with a page size and res of your jpg files. Let's call this the Master file.
3, With the Master file appearing on your monitor:
4. Open Page 1. Click on it in the Layers Panel and drag it over the Master. It will become Layer 1 in the Master.
5..Repeat Step 4 until you have all the pages, as separate layers in the Master. (Layers 2, 3, etc,)
6. Save the Master file. It will be a psd file.
Check Google and learn how to create and use Photoshop Layer Comps. Trust me. It is not difficult.
Once completed, each time you strike the Forward symbol in the Layer Comps panel you will display the next page.
Yes, you can go Backward to see previous pages as you view them. too.

I have 5 jpgs - 5 scans from A4 - and want create a 5 page pdf document, each page a jpg, what to do? what is the easiest way?

Mylenium gave you the exact name of the function. You could just copy that and paste it into the Google search form. You would then end up with this:

Convert multiple page pdf to multiple jpg

Hi, is there anyway of converting a multiple page pdf file in preview to multiple jpgs in one go? I've tried selecting all, but it still only converts one page into a jpg, when using the "save as" function. I'm currently having to convert each page in the file individually, which is rather time-consuming. If preview can't do it, is there any other software (preferably not too expensive) that can?
Many thanks for your help in advance

juleshorst,
Ok Here is the best way I could find to take a PDF and make each page its own jepg image.
1. Open (Automator) on the window that opens it asks for a starting point I would Select (Files & Folders) the big Finder image. For the settings on it I would select (my mac) and (Ask For Files & Folders when my workflow runs) from the drop down menus, that way you can save it and reuse it latter.
2. I would drag the (PDF to images) automation under the (Ask for Finder Items) automation. To find said (PDF to images) you can either search for it or it can be found in the PDF section on the left.
3. After which I would drag the (Change Type of Images) automation under the (PDF to images) automation, I would say Don't add to the (This action will change the image type ...... ect ect.....), and I would select (To Type (jpeg)) from the drop down menu. To find said (Change Type of Images) once again you can search in the search box or you can find it in the Photos section on the left.
4. Run Automation, the button is located in the top right. Select the PDF you want to turn into jpeg pages and there you go.
I hope that this helped with your issue.

Printing a multi page pdf -with multiple pages per sheet

In order to save paper I create multiple page pdfs and in the print dialog box under Layout I select Pages per Sheet 2 , etc. The problem is when i try to print out the document, it only prints out the first page. The other pages fail to print. this only occurs when printing a pdf in this way. I have already re-installed Acrobat.
error on printer is: error typecheck offending command and the file name changes on the printer to acr.000000.tem
I'm using acrobat 8. Printing to a xerox docu-color printer.
Mac 10.4.11

Nope, that's a Flash-only effect. Sometimes people try to embed a SWF (Flash file) into a PDF, but that only plays like it's a movie, and doesn't work well.
I think you should give up on the idea if you want to use PDF as the distribution method.

Convert multiple page pdf into multiple page jpeg

This question was posed several years ago but not answered completely.
I have a 7MB three page PDF document ( a scan ) that I'd like to reduce in size so that I might attach it to an email it easily.
I've tried to "reduce file size" in Preview app's PDF export settings but that renders the document unreadable and useless.
I've tried to Preview export to jpeg but only one page at a time gets exported. This is not acceptable. I want a single three page document.
Otherwise I have to wait 10 minutes for the pdf to attach to my email and God only knows what the recipient thinks when they see "7MB attached document".
BTW I've also tried adding the pdfs to a Word document but that introduced a mismatched document sizing anomaly. WHAT THE HECK!!!! Why can't this be easier???

Anybody know if it's possible to convert a multiple page PDF into ONE TIFF file in Acrobat Pro?
No.

Need script to place multiple single page pdfs in ID pages

Does anyone know of a script that would place a whole folder full of single page pdf files into an indesign document one per page, alphabetically by pdf file name, and ideally add new pages as needed. The last part is optional, as the ID document could already have the required number of pages, all using the same master page with the the picture frame already in place.
In my current project, the pdfs are all the same size as the ID document page size.
This would be along the lines of the scripts that place multipage pdfs, but for single page ones. I have tried first creating a multipage pdf by inserting a folder full of single page pdfs at the end of an initial pdf. Acrobat 8 pro does this very well indeed, but selects the pages from the source folder in random order. I need them in alphabetical order.
Thanks for any insight,
Al

For this project I could equally well use a script that would place or re link to a new pdf in a single page ID document, print device independent postscript with some sort of unique or sequential filename, and repeat the process for a whole folder of source pdf files. No new pages need to be added, and the new pdf could replace the prior one.
What I am after is a device independent ps file for these pdf files. The ones produced by batch processing from Acrobat 8 Pro do not offer enough control, as in that method I would need *only* the black separation.
Thanks,
Al

Multi-page PDF to multiple single-page PDFs

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone out there knows a way, if you have a multi-page PDF, to export each individual page to it's own single-page PDF. Is there a way to do this in Acrobat?
Or is there a way in Microsoft Word using Adobe's PDF print driver, to print each page to it's own single-page PDF?
Ultimately I want to run a batch process on each PDF page in Illustrator, but for me to do that each page needs to be it's own PDF.
Thanks for any help!!!!

Something that may help -
With a multi-page PDF open in Acrobat Pro; select Document > Extract Pages
In the Extract Pages dialog you can select "Extract Pages As Separate Files".
This will provide you with a PDF file for each page of the source PDF file.
Additional options are also possible.
In a thread at AUC, Thom Parker identifies these.

How do I embed a multi page pdf on one page in indesign?

I'm building an interactive portfolio to put on an ipad to take to an interview. I've got 6 title pages and i'm trying to create sub-pages and embed multiple page pdfs into them so the user can turn the pdf pages within the portfolio page...if that makes any sense.
I'm getting nowhere with it and its driving me mental
Should add im using the cs6 digital publishing update with things like digital overlay etc.

You're butting your head against a wall. You can't do that in an interactive PDF.

How to split a parallell-page PDF into single-page PDF

My situation: I have a few hundred pages of files I made quite a few years ago, optimized for "self-publishing" via the printer. I no longer have any source files (my own bad). These files have 2 pages next to each other in an A4 landscape PDF. I would like to change and combine these files into a US Letter portrait PDF.
I have browsed earlier, similar threads, most notably the most referred to thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3331516
which recommends using Adobe PDF printer. However, as this thread points out, and as I for one have found on my own system (10.8.3), Adobe PDF printer is no longer an option on Mac OS X (version 10.6 and on):
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/556366
So the question then is: How do we now split double-page landscape PDFs into single-page portrait PDFs?

Since at least OSX.5 adobe has removed PDF Printer which was begining to fail it was written in Adobe's altered version of javascript and it was a wonder it was working to begin with They replaced it with an Automator action that's called up through the print Driver.
Here are the steps for applications other than Acrobat.
create you doucument. laying it out the way you want it.
Go to Print menu.
click and hold the pdf button - a context menu pops up.
now scan the list of choices and choose Adobe PDF or Adobe Quality PDF (depends on version of OS)
wait for direction fields to come up and make the desired choices (the first screen is basically job options).
when asked ask for name either ecept name give or choose name of your choice.
Browse to desired location for file
then click save.
How the PDF is layed out in acrobat is determinedby acrobat. Adobe add an additional Layer on top of the Print Driver. You can by pass it and use the Print Driver but if there is an orientation switch in your docment the page is turned so everything comes out with same edge of Paper
Oh, look out for a Grand idea Adobe did that even Forest Gump would have left alone.
If you want to do duplex printing to a PDF with more than one page you won't be able to do so whether you have your printer setup for duplex printing. You can go back and forth from printer setting s to Printer setting toggling off and on til you turn blue in the face. You have to go into the document properties and loo for a command called SIMPLEX printing its on by default and needs to be turned off. Even my cat Boots would be smart enough not to put that in.
This settinging does not permanently turn off and you have to do with each document you create or resave.

Place multi-page pdf and resize pages automatically

Hi everyone,
I have an A4 sized multi-page pdf file and I wanted to place the pages of the pdf into a US letter sized Indesign document. I planned to use the placemultipagepdf.jsx script that comes with indesign, to do this. When I place the pages though, they come in as A4 and I have to adjust the size manually within each image box. Is there a way to have them place but then resize automatically to the US letter sized height?
Appreciate any help.

Scanned two page pdf to one page incremental

Hi,
I have been looking everywhere and have yet to find an answer that works. Tryed Bliss, and another program.
I have a booklet that I have scanned duplex. It is of course two pages, odd and even, on one page. I would like to separate the pages into a one page document in the correct page numbering that it should be in. I know I can crop...ect...but that is a lot of work for large documents. We have many documents to make into one page pdfs.
Anyone have ideas? Something that isn't so time consuming?
Thanks,
ls

It's not easy, but you can stitch pics together with...

Or GraphicConverter gives options for turning into slide shows, movies, or hand stitching them together, might even be scriptable to do what you want...

Problem with printing multiple Embedded PDF in HTML page

I have a list of embedded pdf in a html page to be printed in particular order. Using following java script i am trying silently print the pdf one by one. var objectList=document.getElementsByTagName("object"); for(i=0;i<objectList.length;i++){ priobj=document.getElementById(objectList[i].id); priobj.printAll(); } Actually the order of call to the printAll methods works correctly. But the printing of PDF are not is correct order of call. Any Inputs or directions or workarounds on this issue will be really appreciated. Thanks a lot Prem

HI,
wat i understand is u r trying to loop at a variable window .but tht is not suggestable.
write a loop in program lines. read the values in to different variables and the try printing them as text elements that will solve the problem.
or else in other way use a template and that can also solve the problem.

How to create multiple page PDF from multiple jpg images?

I have three jpeg images with pixel dimensions 1008 x 1464. I wish to create a PDF file with one image per page. Apparently Preview previously performed this function, and this functionality was deliberately removed by the time of Mac OS X 10.6.
I use Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have combined the images via Gimp into one jpeg image of size 1008 x 4392, but it would be better if I could create a PDF file. I have been unable to figure out how to do this via GraphicConverter, which trial version constantly displays the 30 second "buy me" window before loading -- annoying: I once accidentally opened it, and it would not let me close the application until the "buy me" window finished...
I have been able to create a PDF file through the action of "printing" (cf. https://discussions.apple.com/message/12395021#12395021), but that reduces the image size and creates a white margin around the images (as if printing on a sheet of paper), which I wish to avoid.
Thank you for your time and help!
Message was edited by: ethereality -- added another "workaround" attempt

I drag and dropped from Finder into TextEdit, and it only copied the file path as text. From what software would I drag the images into TextEdit?
First, set the TextEdit document to Rich Text Format - you can do that via the Format menu in TextEdit. This will allow the inclusion of pictures.
Then you can either -
• Drag an image file into the TextEdit window, and a preview-sized image will be inserted. If this is too small for your purposes -
• Open the image file in Preview (or an image editor, if you choose), size the image to your liking, press Command-A (Select All) and the press Command-C (Copy) - doing this will place a copy of the image on the Clipboard. Then switch focus to the TextEdit document and press Command-V (Paste). This will place a large-size image of the file.
