Print files into/onto PDF template for proofing

Hi,
I am hoping someone may be able to help.
I am wanting to set up several PDF templates that will range from A4 -SRA3. these PDF templates will be Proof Approval Templates. I then want to be able to send artwork to print from say InDesign but I want it to print into the PDF template. Hope that makes sense.
I would then end up with say a compliment slip artwork centred onto the Proof template enabling me to send out the proof.
How do I go about this or is it not something that can easily be done?
Many thanks in advance.
Jon

Hi,
Thanks, I have been doing that but wanted to have something that could be done automatically by acrobat at the sending to print stage, my old company used to do it, but I never got to ask how...
Do you know of a way?

In the latest version of Acrobat the grammer was added to allow embedding a swf file. Unfortunately the Designer (the tools for getting the swf in there) lags behind and will be there in a future release. So if you really want this you must do it by hand and it will only work in Acrobat/Reader 10.
Here is a blog entry that describes how to do it:

Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page?

Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page? For example: scanned newspaper article was too big for one scan process, I had to scan article 3 times. Can I merge these 3 jpegs and position them like columns?

Do you have Acrobat? If so, you can use the Add Image tool to place your images on the page where you want them to be. Alternatively, you can combine all 3 to a single PDF and then send that PDF to the PDF Printer, selecting the Multiple option to get them to appear on a single page of the new file.

Need assistance embedding separate files into a PDF

All,
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Version 10.1.2). I followed the instructions below to try and embed separate Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files into my PDF document as thumbnails, but the only problem is, this only works on my computer because the files are saved on my machine. As soon as I move my PDF file which contains the links, the links will not open.
How do I essentially do the same thing but have the thumbnail links be viewable by anyone, no matter their location?
Create a link using the Link tool
Choose Tools > Content > Link. The pointer becomes a cross hair, and any existing links in the document, including invisible links, are temporarily visible.
Drag a rectangle where you want to create a link. This is the area in which the link is active.
In the Create Link dialog box, choose the options you want for the link appearance.
Select one of the following link actions:
Go To A Page View
Click Next to set the page number and view magnification you want in the current document or in another document (such as a file attachment), and then click Set Link.
Open A File
Select the destination file and click Select. If the file is a PDF, specify how the document should open (for example in a new window or within an existing window), and then click OK.
Note: If the filename is too long to fit in the text box, the middle of the name is truncated.
       Open A Web Page
                 Provide the URL of the destination web page.
       Custom Link
                 Click Next to open the Link Properties dialog box. In this dialog box, you can set any action, such as reading an article, or executing a menu command, to be associated with the link.

Hi George,
I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects. I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image. The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF. Does this make more sense? I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

Acrobat 9 Pro Merge Files Into Single PDF

Just wanted to know if there's a way on Acrobat 9 Pro,i can select a folder using Merge Files Into Single PDF and have it merge each of the subfolders in the folder into separate single PDFs and have then retain the names of their corresponding subfolders? At the moment i'm having to do one folder at a time and then name them.
Any help would be great

Hi Bill
Thanks so very much - you have solved the problem.
I tried Document > Insert Pages and that worked.
I then ran the "Repair" feature on Adobe which installed a few updates and I am now also able to merge pdf's by using the "Combine" feature and all the pages show the text/info.
Thanks again for your help, it is very much appreciated.
Thank you also to Apoorv for your assistance.

"In Adobe Standard, when combining files into one pdf, how do I keep the original date"?

I converted multiple emails into a pdf file. After opening the pdf file, I wanted to combine the files into one pdf however once combining the files, the date modified of the files changes to the current date. How do I preserve the original dates of the emails when combining the files?

Hi Softball ,
Thank You for posting on the forums. Apparently there is no such feature that would help you to achieve this.

How to merge multiple files into one pdf

I would like help with this task. If I could do this for free I woul actually be more likely to follow advice. Many thanks

Hi Lauravill,
The free Adobe Reader cannot help you with the merging job. If you have Acrobat Reader then you can merge files into one pdf with the following steps-
Within Acrobat XI, select File > Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF.
Click Add Files and select the files you want to add.
Click, drag, and drop to reorder the files and pages. Double-click on a file to expand and rearrange individual pages. Press the Delete key to remove unwanted content.
When finished arranging the files, click Combine Files.
Select File > Save As > PDF.
Name your PDF file and click Save.
Let us know if you face any problemwith this or need extra support.
Thanks

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.
