Printing multiple 'sheets' per page, using adobe pdf printer

I've got a number of PDFs that are scanned books, and they were scanned 2 pages at a time, and then OCRed
What I'd like to be able to do is re'print' the file to a new PDF file (so that the OCRed text remains searchable in the new file), in a5, so that in stead of 2 pages on every a4 'page' i get one 'book page' per 'PDF page'.
While it's fairly easy to tell Acrobat to print to a5, this will result in every left half of the a4 page being printed to the new file, and every right side of the page being discarded.
But if I rotate all pages in the file 180 degrees and print that, the print preview does show the reversed page properly, but once I print the file, it will rotate the pages back before printing them, once again yielding only the left side of every page (probably in a misguided effort to help me)
Why doesn't the printer automatically print the right side on a new a5 sheet, or at least allow me to orient the pages any way i like while printing them?
Does anyone know of a way for me to print these pages properly, or if the acrobat pdf printer is somehow bugged? (and can/will this be fixed?)

Hi Timothy,
Please ask your question on the regular Acrobat User-to-User forum. This forum deals with 3D specific issues, and although you may have Acrobat 3D installed, your question would most likely get a good response on the other forum.

I think that a few folks have suggested some 3rd party products. Within Acrobat, you have to crop and create new PDFs for cropping the right and left parts. You then have to put them back together and reorder the pages.
In AA5, you would crop the left (all pages) and print with expand to size set for your page size. Repeat the process for the right side and print. Then you are back to merging the two documents and reordering pages. There may be a few other tools to use with newer versions of Acrobat, but the print is needed for AA5.

How to print multiple sheets per page?

Please advise how, if it is possible, to print multiple sheets per page with Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I have a PDF that's about 24" x 60". I'd like to make a "poor man's poster" by printing on several pages and taping them together -- sort of like Microsoft's "Fit to <x pages> tall by <y pages> wide" feature. Can this be done with Acrobat 7.0 Pro? Thanks. -Kurt

That is typically a function of the print driver for Acrobat. One way to do it is to print to a new PDF and select the printer properties and select multi-up. Bill

Printing multiple slides per page for pdf

Hey guys. I just downloaded 10.10.1 and I'm unable to print multiple slides per page for my pdf files. Usually before I print, I can choose an option if I want to have 4 or 6 slides per page printed (as this helps to save paper and is how I have my notes for school). But now, it says "copies per page" instead of "slides per page". So the print preview shows the same 1 slide printed 6 times on each paper, instead of 6 different slides on 1 paper (which what is what I was able to do before I downloaded Yosemite).
Does anyone know how to print multiple slides per page for pdf files???

Did you try the Layout panel? Page per sheet?

How to save a pdf with multiple slides per page

I have multiple pdf files that I would like to combine but for some of those files, there were originally from powerpoint. For those files, I would like to change the pdf so that there are multiple slides per page. I don't have a copy of the original powerpoints. I am trying to find an easy way to do this because I have at least a hundred pdfs to do. Thank you!

You could print a PDF to the Adobe PDF printer, and select multiple Pages per Sheet on the Layout tab of the printer Properties dialog. Printing a PDF to PDF is generally frowned upon, but once it a while it comes in handy. It could have some unwelcome side effects though like wiping out your carefully crafted accessibility tags, bookmarks, and some document properties.

IPhoto 7.1.3 and printing multiple photos per page

I cannot get multiple prints to layout (or print) properly. IOW, I cannot get the product to render multiple photos to a single sheet layout.
- selected multiple photos (say 5)
- Hit Print icon (or select Print from File menu)
- Paper Size: choose 8.5x11
- Print Size: choose 3x5
- Hit 'Customize' button
- It is showing 1 photo per page (5 pages)
- Select 'Settings'
- Select 'Multiple photos per page'
- Hit 'OK'
- No change - still a single photo per page
- Print preview shows same - 5 pages each with only a single print.
- Same occurs if I originally select 2,3,4.... prints.
Perhaps noteworthy: I am using a printer (only available printer) that is attached to another iMac on my wireless network.
Any help appreciated. About 30 minutes searching this discussion board hasn't been fruitful.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
- selected multiple photos (say 5)
- Hit Print icon (or select Print from File menu)
- Paper Size: choose 8.5x11
- Print Size: choose 3x5
When I do these steps my preview shows 4 photo on the page (the maximum number of 3 x 5 you can fit on an 9.5 x 11 sheet) without going to the customize menu - and it works on three different printers
Try deleting your iPhoto preferences (finder ==> "your username" ==>preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist), launch iPhoto, reset any preferences you have set and see if it will work
It should be very easy and straight forward with only the first four steps being needed for this

Snow Leopard: can't use Adobe PDF printer through Distiller

I am on Quark 8.1.6.2 and Snow Leopard (10.6.4) and use Acrobat Pro 9.4.
To make a PDF file I am always used to going through the Quark print dialogue boxes, selecting Adobe PDF as the printer, setting up sizes, settings etc, saving to a .ps file then using Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.4) Distiller to make a high res PDF for press. Worked fine, before I got Snow Leopard.
I have now read that Adobe PDF Printer is not available on Snow Leopard and that all applications that used Adobe PDF Printer to print pdfs will not be able to print pdfs.
See this link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html which only helps InDesign users, not Quark 8 users.
In the print dialogue box it no longer allows me to set up custom page sizes for a .ps file.
How do I now print to high res for print PDF (through a .ps file for Distiller). ie, I don't want to export to PDF through the Quark print dialogue, as it makes too big a file, that's why I need to go through Distiller first. Help!

PDF/X-3 is the best choice to use in those provided by Quark. You can read up on the PDF/X format here. For correct use, version 3 requires all fonts used to be embedded (which the Quark function does automatically). Version 3 also requires all images to be CMYK or spot color. That doesn't mean you can't use it for RGB, though. PDF/X-3 also allows calibrated RGB images and CIELAB.
I assume for pre-press output I should use ''Press - high quality/high resolution', but then Acrobat Distiller asks for settings too...
You don't go through Acrobat Pro or the Distiller at all when outputting a PDF from Quark. The function is built in. There are nice, short descriptions of the various PDF choices here.
When you select a style, the defaults are automatically applied. You will get center and trim marks and whatever else is in the default settings. After you have selected the PDF version you want to use, then click on the Options button. Turn off marks, downsampling of images, or whatever else you want to change. Click the Capture Settings button and Quark will then automatically use your last settings as the method to create PDF files. When clicking the option to capture, you'll be thrown back to the document the first time, so you'll have to go to the menu to choose Layout as PDF again. But you'll see the choice is on Captured Settings. So until you change it, all you have to do is choose a location and click Save.

How do I print multiple photos on one page using iPhoto 10.5.1?

You've done it in the past - but not with iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x
with iPhoto '11 version 9.5.1 (there is no version 10.5.1) the only way to print multiple photos per page is as I explained - and going back to a [revious is not an option as previous versions will not run under OS X 10.9.3 and previous versions can not read the library after it is upgraded to version 9.5.x
the way you do it is
For now a work around is to duplicate the photo in iPhoto (this does not increase disk storeage requirements) and print multiple copies at once
To print 4 you must make 3 duplicates and select them and print all four

Word to PDF using Adobe PDF printer

Friends,
I am using 'Adobe PDF' printer to convert MS Word doc to PDF file. When converting some files I find that image size differ in Windows XP and Windows 7.
I use same joboptions for both systems and I use exact configurations in both systems.
I am using Acrobat 8 professional in both systems.
How can I ensure that I get same PDF with exact image size in both operating systems ?
Thank You,
Sriram

Acrobat is NOT for server use. Look into LiveCycle PDF Generator, intended and licensed for server use.

How do I extract pages from a pdf using 'Adobe PDF Pack'?

How do I extract pages from a pdf using 'Adobe PDF Pack'?

I think you have to buy extractor for 1.99 a month to extract PDF. But I am having trouble activating it. Good luck.

How do I revert to the default printer settings? I'm stuck on 4 sheets per page.

I selected 4 sheets per page for a job a few days ago. Since then, every time I go to print from Reader, 4 sheets per page shows up as the default. I have to manually change it to "custom" with 1 by 1 and then it will print normally (1 sheet per page). However, when I return to print something else (both in the same session - not closing the program, and also when I close the program and return), it will be back on 4 sheets per page!
1) How do I return the printer to the default settings?
2) Why is there no 1 sheet per page setting option? It seems odd that I have to select "custom" and then specify 1 by 1. Or perhaps my question should be "where" is the option to select a single sheet per page, rather than a custom setting?
Thanks in advance.

Right-click on a toolbar and click on the "Menu Bar" entry to select it, that will get rid of the Firefox button and display the menu bar instead.
To change the tabs to below the other toolbars, right-click on a toolbar and click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.
This site has some further things you can tweak - http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6

Do you want to print several different photos per page or multiples of the same photo?
If you want to print several different photos,select them all at once and press command-P for "Print". Pick the Custom Layout and adjust the photo size suitably.
If you want multiples of the same photo, duplicate the photo several times and select all copies at once, then press command-P.
