Placing Multipage PDF only (not editable)

Hi,
I used this to load multipage pdf (Open multipage PDF | Ai Scripts) and it's good,
but I want to place only my PDF so I can relink it when needed, do you have idea or another script?
thanks

that's not possible using this workflow since the data becomes native AI data and al relation to the source file is lost.

Placed Multipage PDF crop to preset

I'm repeating the same actions over and over with many, many files into many, many documents and thought I'd ask to see if anyone could help to speed me up by removing one repetative step.
I'm placing multipage PDFs into an indesign document.
For example:
page 1 of multipage PDF goes on page 13 of the INDD
page 2 of multipage PDF goes on page 14 of the INDD
page 3 of multipage PDF goes on page 15 of the INDD
page 4 of multipage PDF goes on page 16 of the INDD
Every single time I go to place the document I have to select the page to place (this seems reasonable) but also the crop to, which is always "bounding box" whereas I always want "Media".
Is there any way to fix this option to media?
I don't want to split the PDFs into separate pages as I don't have all the fonts and by splitting them the fonts are no longer embedded. Also, each of the documents has varying different fonts so chasing them all down would be an expensive nightmare.
I'd be interested to hear how other forum members would tackle such a task!

It shouldn't be changing like that. Try trashing the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences
I've been working on this issue and trashing prefs hasn't fixed it. The other problem I was experiencing is also back (show baseline grid shortcut not working).
I've tried the following:
Manual trash of prefs
Trash prefs using the cmd-alt-ctrl-shift starup option
Removed every utility I could find, rebooted and trashed prefs again
Interested to hear if there are any utilities known to mess with InDesign

Placing multipage PDF, 4 to a page

Ive done this before but couldnt find my post about it with the answer. But I have a multipage PDF and want to place it into an ID document, 4 to a page. I remember the steps had me place 4 rectangle frames into the master page. Then place the PDF carrying all the pages. The next step I cant remember somehow I needed to link these boxes in the order they would place, then place the multiple pages by holding down a key when I click. It would then generate as many pages as necessary till it ran out of PDF pages to place. I also know this wasnt a script at all but a normal ID function. What is the step Im missing?

As for placing multiple images per page, I have used the Scott Zanneli's script, running it four times in this scenerio and changing the offsets. I don't recomend it. Kinda got me cross eyed, but working with a facing pages doc did not help.
I just used it day before yesterday to make a 4-up sheet for printing a small directory. Easy as pie. Run 4 times changing the page position rom top left to top right to bottom left to bottom right (and I added 180 degree rotation to the two bottom runs to put all the page numbers in the middle so I'd be sure they were in the printable area). Didn't touch the offset fields at all.

Editable PDF is not editable in this reader

I am opening a editable PDF via Dropbox however when I try to edit the PDF while it is open with this reader it says it is secure and so it does not let me fill it in?
Just to be clear it is a PDF that lets me type in text prior to saving or printing I just want to open it on the ipad and enter in the text and send it back to drop box. It is used by sales people on the road to complete forms with client details.

Adobe Reader for iOS does not yet support allowing users to make changes in a PDF that has been encrypted. From your description it sounds like this PDF likely has "permissions" applied to it, which results in the document being encrypted.We plan to get to this eventually, but do not yet have it scheduled.

PDF form not editable

Hi,
I have created a form with an input element and bound the same to a context attribute. I have embedded the Interactive form in my view and set it to enabled.
When I run the WebDynPro application, the PDF gets displayed, but I am not able to enter any data/edit into the input field of the PDF form. I am not able to click on the submit button that I have in the form.
I have Active Component Framework and Adobe Lifecycle Designer installed in my system. Can you help me out?
regards,
Praveen Kumar

Hi,
Please add the following code in the WDdoModifyView method to make the form editable.
data: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM type ref to CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
LR_METHOD_HANDLER type ref to IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
check first_time = abap_true.
LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT(INTERACTIVE_FORM_1).
LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).
This makes the form interactive in case you are using forms with Function module-based interface.

Sharadha

Place MultiPage PDF creates envelope size pages only

I know I somehow changed my default settings so I quit out of ID. I start it up, I select default (8.5 x 11), new doc opens. I open script and select place Multipage PDF. By default, new doc is first option, I select it and I end up with a multipage ID file at 9.5 x 4.125. Huh? I quit ID again, start it. Default page size is LH. What gives with the script? I don't want to reset my prefs if I can avoid it since I have everything perfect. I want 8.5 x 11 to be my default file size when placing multipage PDF.

Hi Richard, Al,
The script (assuming that this is PlaceMultipagePDF.jsx or .applescript that was installed with CS3) does nothing to change your page size--it just uses the default page size. You have somehow changed your default page size. To get it back to Letter, close all documents, then Choose Document Setup from the File menu and set the default there (not in the New Document dialog box).
If this is some other script with the same name, then I don't know what's going on.
Thanks,
Ole

In LIVECYCLE DESIGNER how do I code a submit button to only submit one page of a multipage PDF

I have a multipage PDF I've designed in Livecycle and have print and submit buttons on each unique form in the document. I am able to create code (which I've copied from someplace) that allows only one page to print but when I click the submit button it wants to submit the entire document. PS - I created the Submit from the blank button and have it set to submit PDF not XML.

I don't think you can submit just a page of your PDF like you printed just a page. The difference is that when you print, the PDF becomes dots on paper, while when you submit a PDF it must remain completely intact to be machine readable, especially since the forms on a LiveCycle (XFA) document can have complex dependencies between pages.

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?

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 set not editable property in elements of pdf document

Hi,
I have developed a web dynpro with pdf intercative form, but when I drag and drop the elements of data source into pdf they are in inpu-field mode (editable).
I want to that fields are in text mode and therefore they are not editable.
How to solve this problem?
Thanks
Alfonso.

hi,
With respect to your problem of making UI elements as non editable, you need to do the following
Select the element on the Interactive PDF
then to the right you could see the properties like Layout, Border, Accessibility and Object.
Select Object: and under that select Value.
here you find the option of making it as non editable by selecting Read Only option.
Hope this solves your problem.
let me know if you have any further issues.
regards,
kris

Can not access a component already placed in Ultiboard, only way to highlight is in spreadsheet view/parts. It is not locked.

Can not access a component already placed in Ultiboard, only way to highlight is in spreadsheet view/parts. It is not locked.
Anyone encountered anything similar?

How is your selection filter set up?... make sure that you have 'enable selecting parts' checked. In that way you can select the component. Otherwise you can go to Edit >> Selection Filter >> Enable selecting parts.
If that is not the problem, then please attach your project file here so we can check it out.

"PDF for Digital Editions" is not PDF; I asked a refund

I bought my first two books from ebooks.com (format : "PDF for Digital Editions"), costing more than $150. At the time of purchase, I knew nothing about ADE but I knew about .pdf files, I knew they could be read on my iPad and I assumed that PDF meant PDF. However, after the purchase, after installing ADE and downloading one of the book, I realized I could only read it on my desktop (what good is that?). Worse, the book file extension is .pdf and even my computer thinks it should be readable by Acrobat Reader but it does not open. I therefore cannot read it on my iPad; these books are useless to me. Bottom line, "PDF FOR DIGITAL EDITIONS" IS NOT PDF. This is not clearly stated by ebooks.com prior to purchasing the book.
I honestly feel this is misrepresentation by both Adobe and ebooks.com of the name "PDF". I asked ebooks.com for a full refund and I also want other ADE users to know about this. Adobe should either make ADE available to all platforms (like the Acrobat Reader) or stop using the name "PDF" and the extension ".pdf" for ADE files.

This is also compounded by the use of the ePub file format from other e-book resellers. I can't help but wonder if this was done intentionally to hurt Apple's iPad since it advertises that the iBook reader supports the ePub standard. The problem is that Adobe's Digital Edition ePub is anything BUT standards based.
For all e-book customers - research the .pdf/epub format your reseller uses to determine if it is indeed an Adobe crippled product before purchasing - especially if your intent is to read it on an iPhone or iPad.

When placing a PDF created with Distiller, I only get Crop and Media as import options -- I need it to crop to the Trim! PLEASE HELP!

I'm having a MAJOR problem placing PDF files in InDesign CS4...
When I try to place a PDF that has been created in Distiller, the ONLY import options I can choose are CROP and MEDIA. I need it to crop to the TRIM, but that option is grayed out. The PDFs I'm trying to place were created in-house, and converted from Post Script files to PDFs using Distiller. We use PDF/X-1a equivalent settings when creating our PDFs.
If I export the file as a PDF and then try to place it into a CS4 file, I am able to select Trim as an option.
ALSO, if I open the Distiller PDF in Acrobat and then save it (without changing anything), I am able to select Trim as an option. A workaround I have found is to open all of the PDF files in Acrobat, save them to my desktop, and then save over the ones I need to place. Here's the problem with that: I work for a publishing company, and need to place hundreds of ads for each issue of our publications, and it adds a lot of time if I have to go and re-save everything just to be able to place all the ads.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I need to get this figured out so we can use CS4 for all of our publications again. -- We've gone back to using CS3 until I can get this figured out...

Steve,
Thanks for the reply, but my PDFs all have trim boxes on them. If I try to place the same PDF in InDesign CS3, it gives me Trim as an option. Also, if I open the PDF and save a copy to my desktop, I am able to select Trim as an option when placing the PDF, and I didn't change anything about it.
I've been trying to see if it's something with the Print Preset settings I'm using, but I can't find anything that seems like it would affect how InDesign would read the Trim area of the PDF.
I've attached 2 PDF files. One that was created with Distiller, and one that was exported from InDesign CS4. The Distiller one doesn't show Trim as an option in CS4, but the exported one does.... but they started out as the same ad. Ugh! Help me please!

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

Trying to convert a multipage PDF into multilayered PSD. Automatically, not one by one - manually. Please help!

as per title - i have a multipage PDF that i want to transfer into a multilayered PSD.
not one by one - but automatically.
my attempts of recording a set of actions failed.
Please help.

This would likely need Scripting at least.
But like station_two indicated people might feel more inclined to help if the necessity for the process were clearer.
And converting pdfs into pixel images is often a bad choice.
