Populating Multiple Page PDF with FDF

Hi -
We have a need to populate a multiple page PDF (i.e., 40 fields across two distinct pages) with a FDF that we are creating in a separate scripting language (basically we are taking a user populated spreadsheet and want to populate the thousands of iterations of forms from it).
We are using Adobe Acrobat X and it works if we split the PDF into separate PDF files by page and do the same with the FDF...but can't seem to get it to work with using a single multiple page PDF and a single FDF.
We validated that each field has its own distinct name.
This is our first forray into working with PDFs...
Any thoughts?
Jason

It's hard to say what's wrong without look at the PDF and the FDF. How many pages are in the PDF and how many total fields are in it?

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.

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.

Used to be able to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one and then it stopped and would only print the curent page. This is tedious for long PDF docs. I am on 10.6.8 .

Used to be ablert to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one printer and now I can only print the current page and therefore it takes forever printing them one by one. I am in version 10.6.8. Tried printing as image using the advanced click and that did not work either. I have Adobe 9.0 reader installed.

I tried this earlier, and I tried it again today. Both times it said "Software Missing!" and "HP Software required to connect to your printer over the network could not be found on this computer." But when I tried to install the software (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe, which I downloaded from HP's web site), it wouldn't install, as described above. In the diagnostic utility, I clicked "skip", and it said "Connection Verified!", and "The printer is connected to the network and the services related to the network connections have been verified and reset to a normal operating state. Everything appears to work fine at this point. Please doa test print to verify that the issue is resolved or click Skip to move to the next step." I clickedthe "Test Print" button, and immediately it popped up a box that said "Test Print Failed."
I tried again to install the HP software, and it installed, detected the printer, and asked me to select it. I selected the printer, clicked "next", and it did its network diagnostics. Then it said "Problem(s) found with your network" and "Problem(s) may exist with the network functions of your printer . . ." I continued the installation without connecting to the printer. Then I ran your network printer diagnostic tool again, and got the same result - "HP Software required to connect to youir printer over the network could not be found on this computer."

Photoshop Elements 11- Create and save multiple page PDF's? Software bug or new limitation?

I just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 10 to Photoshop Elements 11. One of the reasons I stayed with Adobe rather than Corel was the ability to work with multipage PDF's.
I noticed that I can't add more than one page to a project and save a multiple page PDF. I can open a multiple page PDF, but not create or save one.
Is this a new limitation, or just a software bug Adobe plans to fix?
Has anyone found a way to work with multiple page PDF's in Photoshop Elements 11?

It's a new limitation in PSE 11, for one of those mysterious adobe reasons.

Inserting Multiple Page PDF in Word Document

I've been searching for an answer to what I thing ought to be a rather simple question and I can find nothing. I have a couple of users who have attempted to insert a multiple page PDF into a Word document and found that only the first page of the PDF
shows up in their document. Is there any method to insert multiple page PDFs into Word as multiple pages without splitting the PDF into individual single page files and inserting individually?
Thanks...Ray

A quick and dirty way to do this is to open the pdf document in question with word separately. You get the following warning message.
I can then select all and copy/paste in to my word document.
The few pdfs I tried this with pretty much turned in to all images when I did this, but it worked my purposes.
I did end up having to resize one that didn't seem to want to fit when I pasted it in. There may be a method to select an image and automatically fit it within the margins of the page it is on that would help that.
The file size on my resulting word document seemed to grow quite a bit as well. Again, not really an issue in my case though.

Multiple page PDF in Illustrator CS5

I have two pages in Illustrator and I want to create a 2 page PDF file. In CS3 there was a multiple page PDF selection I could make in the save dialogue box of my Illustrator file. That feature is not there in Illustrator CS5. Is it possible to do this??
Thanks in advance

Seems more complicated then simply clicking an option. I will try it though,
Thank you.

Not really...just think of it as Page=Artboard. So,
I. If you're creating a new file to save as a multi-page PDF, in the new file dialogue choose the number of Artboards to equal the number of pages. If unsure at the outset, just choose a sufficient number... you can always add or delete later. Give the Artboard/s the size of the page you want... eg A4, A5, or custom, etc., etc. Create the matter of each page on that number artboard.
II. If you're working with an existing file, then you already have the pages created on your single artboard. So:
1. Just resize the artboard to the output size
2. Move all matter of page one to that
3 Create new artboards (2, 3, 4, etc) and just move all mater corresponding to the already created pages 2, 3, 4, etc. to the respective artboards...

Automator - Change Image Type - Multiple page PDF- TIFF conversion

I was able to do this on a friend's computer (not sure which version of OS X they were running), but this seems impossible on Snow Leopard.
I need to convert hundreds of multiple page PDFs to TIFFs. I can't get this to work, and the Change Image Type option only lists single page PDF conversion. I could separate PDFs into multiple files, convert to TIFFs, but then I don't know how to recombine a bunch of TIFF pages into a larger file. From google searches, I know this is possible using tiffutil, but I don't really understand how to use that well, and I really need an automatic process.
I'm at my wits end with this, because I did it just last week on someone else's computer and it was easy as pie. Why can't you convert multiple page PDFs in Snow Leopard?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I just tried this - two problems.
It creates a separate tiff document for each page of the input pdf.
Also, this action is just annoying because it results in randomly named files in some temp folder that i can only locate using the reveal finder item action. I know I can rename files in automator, but I'd really like to have the output file have the same name as the input file.
It confuses me why they would remove this functionality in Snow Leopard.

Batch Processing multiple page pdf

Using Batch Processing in Acrobat I would like to:
Extract as single pages from a multiple page pdf.
I want the resulting pdfs renamed with page numbers. The first few pages of the pdf are roman numeral pages (index) then the rest of the pages would start as page 1 through 99999
So that the end result would be
page I_filename.pdf
page II_filename.pdf
page III_filename.pdf
page 1_filename.pdf
page 2_filename.pdf
page 3_filename.pdf ect....
Can someone help?

Adobe Acrobat Pro has a batch process feature.
You choose files or a folder with these image files.
You may apply commands like "Recognize Text (using OCR)" for all chosen files.
Than all files may be saved as PDF.

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.

Adobe Reader 11.0.0.7 How do I rotate single page in a multiple page PDF file?

When I try rotating the page, it would rotate all of the pages in Adobe Reader. How can I rotate a single page out of the multiple page PDF file?

You can only rotate the entire document with the free Reader. And that only lasts for the current session. It is not permanent.

Convert multiple page PDF to single TIFF doc

How do you save a multiple page pdf document?

I have about 30 single illustrator pages (cs3) and need to save them as one pdf document, with multiple pages if possible. please can someone talk me thru this, all the stages please.
thanks

What I usually do is this: Make pdfs of your files. Open the first one in Acrobat and then Insert (Cmd-Shift-I) the other files one by one After the first one. Then resave under another name. Now you've got a multiple page pdf.
The other way is to page-tile an Illy file, print to eps and then use Distiller. The result will be a multi-page pdf with each tile as a separate page.
I recommend the first method though - it allows you to have different page sizes within a single pdf (if that's what you want). If you want all pages to be of the same size you just use the same artboard size on all Illy files.

Can I open a multiple page PDF I got from email in the Pages app?

How do I open a multiple page PDF that I copied from email? All I get is the first page...... Sure hope I can open PDF...

I don't use the pages app so I couldn't tell you there, however, Adobe a reader for the iPad has no issues with PDF in email. In fact it has a button that you can use to open it right from Adobe a reader without having to open the mail app to get it. Just a suggestion if you can't figure it out with pages.

I need to supply a multiple page pdf download on my site...

How do I upload a multiple page pdf on my site and have clients able to link to it/find it and download it? I also want to have the pdf able to be accessed from a separate blog. Is this possible?! I have GoLive CS2.

TangledRibbon,
You can just:
1) Save it to the folder where it belongs (where you have your site on your computer);
2) Open the Site File and click any page/image/whatever;
3) Press the Refresh;
Now the PDF should appear in your site;
4) Create a link to it from one or more HTML pages, in whichever way you create links (you may just type something and turn it into a link, browsing to select the PDF);
5) Upload as usual (incremental or otherwise) to get it accessible for others.
You may link to it from anywhere else by its URL once it is there.
