Preview Insert Page from scanner How to Change Settings

I often look to add pages to existing scanned PDF documents using Preview's Insert Page from Scanner Function in Mavericks. Selecting this automatically opens a scan dialog. When i use the flatbed to scan, it seems to always scan in black and white vs. greyscale or color. I can't find anyway to change these settings. When i scan from the document feeder, it automatically scans in color. I think there has to be a default settings for this somewhere ,but I can't find it. Anyone know where the settings may be?

Thanks for the reminder to update my product info! It's been a while since I posted. My scanner is a Canon MX892. The window you show, I see when I use Image Capture or Import From Scanner, but there is no pop-up or any menu to change any settings when I use Insert Page From Scanner. I use this function to add on pages to an original PDF, which is the easiest way I have found to do that. Here is the screen I get - no ability to change any settings other than Flatbed vs. Doc Feeder.

How do I insert pages from one PDF into the current PDF in Acrobat X?

I just upgraded from Acrobat 8 to Acrobat X.
How do I insert pages from one PDF into the current PDF in Acrobat X pro? I was able to do this from the Edit menu in Acrobat 8 pro. Appreciate instructions. Thanks.

Hi chemadberk,
In my Acrobat 8 Pro, Insert Pages is under the Document menu but anyway...
In Acrobat X, click on the Tools pane(upper right side) then navigate to Pages- the Insert Pages commands are located there.
Hope this helps,

Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated.

Any documents created within 10.6 and printed/saved as a pdf file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool activated allowing selection of text and copy/paste or text highlight actions made.
Using OSX 10.6.7 Preview application using the File > Import from Scanner (Epson V500 scanner), the scanned document cannot activate the Text Tool. Only the Move and Select tools cans be selected, activated and used. It's as if Preview's document scanned image using Format-PDF, the scans appear to be an image scan of the text/document into a PDF file and not using OCR to allow a Text Edit.
I can scan a printed document using Acrobat and my Epson scanner and the text tool within Acrobat or Adobe Reader works fine.
Is this a shortcoming within Preview using Format-PDF that the Text tool cannot be activated or used on Preview scanned documents containing text? If so why is Preview's text tool even offered?
If Text Tool can be used on a Preview scanned document…How ? Please!

After further research I have been able to answer my own question regarding-
"Preview's "Import from Scanner" documents -Text Tool cannot be activated."
In Apples Mac 101 Support article entitled: "Using a scanner (Mac 10.6) last modified on March 15, 2011, states: "Item 6. Click Scan to scan. Note: The scanned items will become JPEG images with 300 dpi"
So there it is…Any item (or printed document) scanned under Preview using the selected Format-PDF will be scanned as a JPEG image.
That' s why the Text Tool cannot be activated, it's not being scanned as text but as an image.
If a document is created within the computer via Pages, Text Edit, Word etc. and saved using the "Print-PDF-Save asPDF" file option, the already digitized text is saved within the PDF file and can then the PDF file can be opened in Preview and the Text Tool will be available for use to copy/paste or highlight.

Insert pages from a single document multiple times

I'm trying to create a simple program that I can use to display PDF files that I can use to play at the piano. I perform often, and need to create "play lists" from which I can pull all, or part of, a PDF file containing music and display it.
I have it all working, except for one problem. I may need to "repeat" a section of a piece. I'm building up the play list by calling AcroPDDoc.InsertPages for each item in the play list. If a PDF file appears multiple times in the play list, when I call InsertPages, the call fails.
In this code snippet, pdDoc is the main doc to which I'm adding pages. playList is a generic List of my own PlayList objects, and I need to iterate through all the items in the playList except the first one, which is already loaded.
This code works great unless the fileName I specify has already been opened. The call to AcroPDDoc.Open succeeds just fine, but the call to pdDoc.InsertPages fails if the file has already had pages from it inserted. All other documents work fine. The documentation, of course, doesn't mention this.
        int insertPage = pdDoc.GetNumPages() - 1;
        for (int i = 1; i < playList.Count; i++)
          var newDoc = new AcroPDDoc();
          var item = playList(i);
          int startPage = 0;
          int endPage = 0;
          if (newDoc.Open(item.fileName))
            startPage = Math.Max(0, item.startPage);
            endPage = Math.Max(0, item.endPage);
            var totalPages = newDoc.GetNumPages;
            if (item.endPage < 0 || item.endPage > totalPages)
              endPage = totalPages - 1;
            int numPages = (endPage - startPage) + 1;
            if (pdDoc.InsertPages(insertPage, newDoc, startPage, numPages, 0))
              insertPage += numPages;
So, the questions:
1.) Is it possible to load pages from a single document multiple times?
2.) Is there a better way to do this? (That is, loop through a list of file names, starting and ending page numbers, and add the documents to an existing document.)
Any help appreciated! Thanks -- Ken

Hi Ken,
>The documentation, of course, doesn't mention this.
The documentation does not state explicitly that you can't insert pages again from a PDDoc you open again and never close.
But it mentions that you get references only from an already opened PDDoc.
"...Opens the specified document. If the document is already open, it returns a reference to the already opened PDDoc. You must call PDDocClose() once for every successful open..."
It doesn't state that you can't insert pages from a referenced PDDoc but it seems so.
I would close the PDDoc within your for-loop after inserting pages and release newDoc.

Best way to insert pages from a document to another

Hi everybody,
I need to append/insert pages from a InDesign CS4 document to another one with all the content that may be present in page.
What is the best way to implement that? I didn't find anything similar to kAddDocToBookCmdBoss.
The optimum would be to have something like kAddPageToDocCmdBoss for better granularity.
Thanks a lot in advance to anybody who will express his opinion.
Luca Severini

The Pages panel flyout menu has a "Move Pages..." action / dialog.
It fires off several commands:
kCreatePageFromPageCmdBoss
cmd target is the target document
UIDList is the source kSpreadBoss.
IID_ILAYOUTCMDDATA document is the target doc again.
followed by kMoveSpreadCmdBoss and kShufflePagesCmdBoss.

Dreamweaver should remember the last table definition you put on the page.
Insert>table>Specify Rows/Columns/Width
That should then be the default until you specify something else.

Lost template, have pages from template, how can I convert?

In a moment of crass stupidity, I managed to delete a template upon which several pages of a site under development are based. There was a P7 menu on the page. Fortunately, I have a couple of pages based on the template alive and well. Can someone tell me how to convert one of these pages back to the template from which it was created?
Pages from the template are
http://www.jdcdemo.com/pbc/greater-pine-bluff-chamber-local-apartment-list.html
http://www.jdcdemo.com/pbc/greater-pine-bluff-chamber-community-calendar.html
The calendar page is rife with errors of which I am aware. Most are not in the template.
Can someone tell me how to proceed to recover from my dumb mistake?
Thanks,
Joe

Well, we have gotten a lot of looks and no answer. From another board, the first response was the correct one, to wit:
open a page created from the original (now missing) template
- go to Modify>Templates>Detach from template.
- save this via File>Save as template
- create new editable regions via Insert>Template Objects>Insert Editable Region
I took a hard look at the editable region in the file from the template, and set up and named the new editable region as a clone of the original. The pages from the template, worked just fine.

Insert Pages From another File?

HI Everyone,
Is there a way I can insert entire pages from one file into another?
I'm working on a document and need several pages from another file - is there a way I can import or insert?
Cheers
Darryn

Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

Firefox blocks my page from updating - how do I enable updating?

I like to have MSNBC and CNN open during the day when I am at work. For some reason, there is now a message saying that Firefox has blocked the page from updating and I have to constantly click "Allow" for it to update. I have tried to right click to "Always allow" but that is not an option. I have gone to "Options" but I cannot find a way to always allow updating.

How to change settings to view JPEG images?

I have a Gmail account and when I attempt to view Jpeg images on emails in a larger size I get a blank page with a crossed box in one corner . How can I change settings on my PC to view the images?

Hi:
Assume you're using Internet Explorer browser?
Is it happening on all images you open?
You can verify Internet Explorer is setup to show images by going to: Tool, Internet Options, click the advanced tab and under Multimedia make sure Show Pictures is checked.
Make sure you have the latest updates for Internet Explorer from Windows Update.

Javascript error for Inserting Pages from a source

Below is a script I wrote that isn't functioning properly on my large 200 page document that I need it to. Granted there might be a much easier way to script this, but I'm no expert. I have a 200 page document that needs to be 600 pages, basically every page needs to be copied twice (and obviously placed right after the original. So I have the original PDF, then I copied that PDF to use as a source document to copy from. (To clarify if I'm not being clear, the first 3 pages would be page 1, 2, 3,... it needs to be: 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3 etc)
var targetpage = 0;
var sourcepage = 0;
while(sourcepage < 199)
    this.insertPages({
        nPage: targetpage,
        cPath: "source.pdf",
        nStart: sourcepage,
        nEnd: sourcepage
    targetpage++;
    this.insertPages({
        nPage: targetpage,
        cPath: "source.pdf",
        nStart: sourcepage,
        nEnd: sourcepage
    sourcepage++;
    targetpage=targetpage+2;
It gives me an error that I have no idea means, nor how to correct after only placing a total of 3 pages - so the doc went from 200 to 203 (2 of page 1 as intended, then 1 page of page 2, then for some reason it stops...
InvalidArgsError: Invalid arguments.
Doc.insertPages:9:Batch undefined:Exec
Why is it stopping? And please don't assume I know what I'm doing Thank you.

Have you read the Acrobat JS API Reference about the insertPages and the path value and restrictions?
insertPages now needs to use the "privileged context" when not being run as a console or batch event.
Safe path
Acrobat 6.0 introduced the concept of a safe path for JavaScript methods that write data to the local hard drive based on a path passed to it by one of its parameters.
A path cannot point to a system critical folder, for example a root, windows or system directory. A path is also subject to other unspecified tests.
For many methods, the file name must have an extension appropriate to the type of data that is to be saved. Some methods may have a no-overwrite restriction. These additional restrictions are noted in the documentation.
Generally, when a path is judged to be not safe, a NotAllowedError exception is thrown (see Error object) and the method fails.

First of all does this scenario occur again.
"Works first/second time. Later gives this error."
After you restart the SOA server are you able to reproduce this scenario?
As already pointed out and from the error message, database connection is reset.
If you find this error again, try this out.
em -> home / oc4j_soa -> Administration -> JDBC Resources
Use the "Test Connection" option for the Connection Pool that you are using for your database JNDI.
It comes back and say "Connection to "XYZCP" established successfully." it is good to use.
Run the BPEL process again and once you find the error, come back and test the connection.
If it comes back with Error, diagnose based on the error message received.

Error message, both in iPhoto and Preview: No pages from the document were selected to be printed.

When I try to print a photo I get the above message stating that no pages have been selected. I tried deleting the iPhoto prefs plist, as I had read in earlier discussions, but that has not helped. I tried opening in Preview, but get the same message.
I have a new printer, HP 7520 series, and have been printing to regular paper just fine. It is only in attempting to print from the photo tray that I have run into this problem. I used page setup first to select the photo paper size and layout, then selected print from the menu.
Any ideas?

Thank you for posting the fix. I have not seen that problem before.

This solved my questionRe: Calendar Travel Time Starting from Work when I want to Start from Home Oct 23, 2013 8:43 PM (in response to theglenlivet12)
From Calendar's help:
To set your starting location, Calendar first looks for your location in any events that are up to three hours before this event. If Calendar doesn’t find a location, it uses your work address during work hours and your home address during other hours. (Your work hours are set in Calendar preferences using the “Day starts at” and “Day ends at” menus.) If your card in Contacts doesn’t have your addresses, Calendar uses your computer’s current location.
