Problem Extracting Pages

When I try to extract pages from documents the extracted pages lose data. For example boxes that were checked yes or no on the original page no longer appear on the extracted page. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

If this is for archive purposes, flatten the file before the extraction. I am pretty sure that makes the markup (the form fields) become part of the basic document - can no longer edit the fields after this.

    I have a question about extracting pages.  When I do the function, adobe saves the individual files as "<file name><space><page number>", so the files look like this "filename 1.pdf", "filename 2.pdf", "filename 3.pdf".  Without too many gory details, I am using excel to concatenate some data to dynamically build a hyperlink to these extraced files.  It casues me problems, however, for the space to be the the file name.  Is there any way to change the default behavoir of this function to perhaps use a dash or underscore instead of a space?

    No, you can't change the default naming scheme. You can do it yourself if you extract the pages using a script instead of using the built-in command.

  • Extracting Pages and Error Message

    My Adobe works great. I couldn't ask for a better product. However I have received a PDF file from a customer and I need to extract pages and insert them into another PDF. When I go to extract the pages I get an error message "Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and them the program shuts down. It is only with this one document and I can't find much information as to why this is happening.  Any ideas?
    Thank You!

    This sounds like an issue with the sort order display in Windows Explorer. If you use the File > Open dialog in Acrobat the files should display correctly.
    If you're previewing the PDFs in Windows Explorer try clicking the Name button underneath the toolbar to change the sort order from ascending to descending, then a single click again should display them correctly.

  • Acrobat crashes when extracting pages

    Version Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.12
    When extracting and emailing pages from a pdf multiple times, Acrobat crashes.  Here is the process:
    1. Open pdf
    2. Tools -> Pages -> Extract
    3. Select any number of pages -> delete after extracting -> Yes at prompt
    4. In the extracted page(s) pdf, Share -> Send Files -> Attach to Email -> Attach
    5. Default email app opens -> Send email
    6. Close extracted page(s) pdf without saving.
    7. Go back to original pdf
    8. Try to repeat steps 1-6.
    The Acrobat crashes every time at step 4 on the 2nd extraction and email.  As soon as the share button is pressed (or using File -> Attach to Email), Acrobat crashes with the below error code.
    I have tried multiple different pdfs from different sources (i.e. downloaded from the web, scanned from a printer, generated from a word doc, etc.) as well updating Acrobat, uninstalling and re-installing (using the cleaner tool in between) and repairing install.  The issue happens on multiple machines, all running Win 7 Pro, and there are no add ins installed.

  • Extract Pages- and the Split- not doing what I expect them to

    I have a document created in Illustrator (CS4) which has multiple artboards. I want it split into multiple documents, one art board—> one document with only that artwork. When I use the Extract PAges… and the Split… comands to generate multiple documents, I get the multiple docs (same number of docs created as pages in original doc).
    Only thing is every doc has all the artboards and all the artwork as the original doc. I could understand all the artwork being there but all the artboards also?? What's going on?
    Appreciate any pointers on this.
    Trying to write a JSX to run in AI but struggling so far. Thread for AI solution started here: AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboards

    I don't expect mind reading but I'l settle for careful reading
    I tried to explain how pages and artboards are qualitatively different objects only to be told they are the same thing and that's all I needed to say.
    I tried to explain that opening the very same file in Illustrator showed a lot more objects than it did in Acrobat. You probably don't remember because you breezed over something that you didn't think you needed to know because you were, at each stage, a step ahead of me (slow down already!).
    From my second post:
    I can't remember if Splitting gave enumerate files or the one file but either way ALL the artwork was in the enumerate files if they got made [.…] I ended up saving as CS3 .ai files which gives a Save artboards to seperate files option and, unlike the artboard range option on Save As PDF, it actually works.
    From my third post
    An artboard is not a page as far as Acrobat and Illustrator apps are concerned. I was trying to highlight the distinctly different way the two apps handle them. I can watch a one page with just one shape document in Acrobat become a 20 artboard, 40+ objects layout in Illustrator. Same document interpreted as one Page in Acrobat and 23 artboards in AI.
    I was on this forum because even a manual Document Menu> Split… command is not doing what I expected with the AI generated 23pp PDF file. I expected the 23 individual 'artboards' and content to each make a separate file.

    I don't remember you mentioning that you re-imported the PDF files into Illustrator.  This is an important detail. You also posted to an Acrobat scripting forum and never said you were not interested in an Acrobat Script.  You also never explained the problem you were seeing.  You were never clear.
    Covered that but note Illustrator doesn't import PDF files. .ai .eps and .pdf are all native files for Illustrator and just open, sometimes with an additional dialogue to choose a page from multiple pages. It imports .dwg, .svg and that sort of thing relying on translator plugins. This is the fourth time I'm saying I should have posted in Acrobat Win or Mac not scripting, apologies I was scripting when I made OP and probably frustrated. You were more clear it's true, clearly ignoring what I was getting at in each post re artboard cf. page objects.
    You see, in a PDF file each page has it's own content stream, i.e., a stream of vector graphics operators.  Graphics can be drawn anywhere in the coordinate space, but the page view is clipped by a crop rectangle.  So graphics can exist in the stream, but never be visible to the user because they are outside the crop.  I get the impression that in Illustrator the Artboards all exist in a single coordinate space? And that the conversion to PDF places this entire coordinate space into a single content stream. Then each page would be a different crop of the same content stream.  If this is the case then I believe there are PDF optimization operations in Acrobat that would fix your problem by removing all content outside the crop. 
    Yeah I've hacked lots of PDF files in AI. They use more than one clipping rect per page from memory. Correct, the artboards are defined in a single co-ord space it would seem — artboards are discretely and independently located on the document canvas and can even overlap each other. Yes those operations might work, I never though of that, I came across an Illustrator based solution early on in this thread. There's no conversion going on in Acrobat though I think, the file stays native PDF from AI to Acrobat and back to AI. As I've noted it's the way Acrobat displays or parses the data that in effect hides all the 'off-page' objects but open the same file in AI and it's all still there. 
    You know, we can't read minds, you actually have to explain what it is you need.
    I didn't know it, but I needed to get a confirmation on the artboardRange property bug in Illustrator CS4 and/or a confirmation that artboards are not treated as page objects, and I ended up having to lecture you on something you may have no interest in, sorry if I've been a pain. This is part of bigger bug elsewhere that I've been trying to get resolved or around on and off for a month. Every turn another bug, it gets confusing and frustrating at times

  • Script to extract pages with comments

    I know that what I would like to do is probably quite simple. I'm trying to automatically take a source document, and extract all pages with comments to a new document.  Ideally, I would have multiple versions of this script for different purposes.  I used to be a business analyst years ago, but it's been years since I've written any code, and even back then I used SQL almost exclusively--it's been about 12 years since I've written any code other than SQL queries, and back then it was highschool projects written in C++ before OOP was really a big thing.  I'd attempt to read documentation myself and figure it out, but I really don't even know where to start -- my CS knowledge at this point is pretty much only conceptual.  Whenever I have a similar VBscript problem using MS software, usually all I do is find an existing function and modify one or two lines to meet my needs, so I've never really had to learn how the scripts I've used work.  I just tinker with existing stuff to get what I need.  My past coding experience does give me an idea is to the general algorithm that I think would work.  To show that I really tried with this one, I paste my guess as to how I would code this below: 
    1)     Create For loop for source doc.
    2)     Create FOR loop for new doc
    3)     Analyze page in source doc
    4)     IF source page has any comments or highlighting THEN somehow note that page and increment "new doc" counter
    5)     Increment source doc counter
    6)     Repeat 3-5 until all pages in source doc have been analyzed
    7)     Create new file
    8)     Extract pages noted during step 4 to new file.
    If someone could help me create the above script, I would probably be smart enough to get it to meet my needs.  What I'd really like are two versions of that script.  If asking for the community to simply provide me with code is not a cool thing to do, could someone link me to a good tutorial and/or existing scripts so I could try and figure it out myself?
    1)     One that extracts only pages with text comments (using the typewriter tool).
    2)     One that extracts pages with highlights or text comments.

    In the second to last line of my OP I meant "using the 'Add text comment' tool" not "using the typewriter tool".

  • Can't extract pages from PDF in 9 Pro, but coworker can in 8.

    I have a PDF that I need to extract 3 consecutive pages from, but extract pages is greyed out.  However, my co-worker was able to extract them with no problem using Adobe Acrobat 8.  Any ideas why she can, but I can't?

    So all the topics are showing in Project Manager and make it to the output? That suggests the TOC is showing OK in the output. From that it sounds like the TOC is also showing fine in the project and the problem is limited to the behaviour, correct?
    That's not something I have seen reported so it's a bit trial and error to fix it.
    First try one of the sample projects. Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left. That will identify if the problem is your installation or your project.
    If it is your project is it still stored on your local drive and did you upgrade it whilst stored locally?
    Try deleting the CPD file and then reopening the project.

  • Unable to attach pdfs after extracting pages

    Immediately after extracting pages in Acrobat Pro, the ability to attach the file to email is not available.
    I have tested this on multiple computers using Win 7, Outlook 2007 and Adobe Acrobat Pro X and it doesn't seem to work. This was previously working with Win XP.
    In a multi page pdf document, I'm going to Tools > Pages > Extract, then Share > Send Files > Attach to Email, but the extracted pages can't be attached to an email as the pdf isn't automatically saved. The attach function works fine after the document is saved, but it wasn't like this before.
    Is there a fix for this? It is a minor issue but it is an inconvenience to some of our users on Win7.

    hi, I tried via the internet using Firefox, I can't even download the Reader pdf help files!. I can open exsisting pdfs that are on my computer. I didn't have any problems with the old V10 of reader, this problem has only started since installing v11.
    Thanks Bernd for your interest.

  • Acrobat 8 crashes when extracting pages

    Currently experiencing problems when trying to extract pages from PDFs in Acrobat 8 running on Mac 10.5.5. Extracts the pages but before you are able to save the wheel of death starts to spin and Acrobat freezes.

  • Extracting Pages and naming file names of pdfs

    I need to be able to extract pages from a large file to create seperate pdf documents for each page. When I do this the file name for each page is for instance "Medical Records 1.pdf"; "Medical Records 2.pdf".... Medical Records 11.pdf"
    Here is the problem. When I go to review them in order the page (document) that is numbered 2 will not be after "1" but rather just before "20" and "3" is out of order and just before "30". When the number of pages is 600 plus this is a problem. This would not happen if there was a leading "0" before the "2" , "3", "30" etc. This happens with single digits and double digits as well since the page numbers are in the hundreds.
    Any ideas on how to correct this issue? Thanks in advance.

    This sounds like an issue with the sort order display in Windows Explorer. If you use the File > Open dialog in Acrobat the files should display correctly.
    If you're previewing the PDFs in Windows Explorer try clicking the Name button underneath the toolbar to change the sort order from ascending to descending, then a single click again should display them correctly.

  • Problems extracting LR5.6  upgrade files after download

    Hello!
    I've just completed installing a LR5 upgrade from a DVD.
    After this, I downloaded the latest upgrade which i this case was is LR5.6.
    My problem is that I am unable to extract the files in the upgrade.
    I just get a message from the installer telling me that there is a problem extracting some files and to check that there is enough memory on my computer. The message also suggest to check that I am authourized to use the target folder for the extraction.
    I've reinstalled LR5, I've tryed downloading a new upgradefolder several times, I've tryed extracting it in different folders.
    There is enough memory and my computer system meets the requirements. (I'am the administrator of course.)
    Anybody has a solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    PS below is an image of the message I get when trying to extract files (in swedish though).

    Hello Jeff!
    And thanks for your answer.
    Yes i've tried extracting/installing both updates (5.5 and 5.6). The outcome was the same in both cases. Same message with 5.6 as the one in my screenshot.
    There is some information in this but I can't figure out what it is.

    Felix2 from your screen shot it appears you are attempting to download and extract the Lightroom 5.5 update/installer.  Do you receive the same error downloading the 5.6 update at Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6?  Each update contains the full installer so you do not need to have a previous version of Lightroom installed prior to installing Photoshop Lightroom 5.6.

  • File size changes when extract page saved

    I receive PDF files with multiple pages that I have to separate.  I use Adobe Acrobat 7.  I open the large file, extract a page and delete it from the larger file, then save the single page with a different name.  I work my way through the large file until all pages are separated.  I have been doing this successfully for a long time.   Today, I received a 870kb file with 24 pages.  Usually the individual pages are around 50kb.  Today, each extracted file was around 300kb.  This made each of the 24 pages well over 10mb when the origial single file was only 870!  This just started happening suddenly.  I have made no changes to settings from the last time I extracted pages this way.   Can anyone help?  This is a huge mystery and needless to say, a huge handicap!  Thanks!

    Thanks much for your reply.  It said that "images" was 55.61% and "X object forms" was 41.10%.  The rest were less than 2% each.  Other PDFs I work with are created by a designer the same way as the ones I had problems with.  For some reason, my Adobe is treating some of them differently when I extract pages.  A single file that was 870kb and 24 pages wound up being about 10mb-worth of 24 individual pages.   Any ideas?  Thanks again!

  • Unable to extract page numbers using FIRST_BOOK_PAGE

    Hi
    We have to extract page numbers in views.
    For this we have
    Added FIRST_BOOK_PAGE in key template.
    Linked key template to study views
    Enabled CRF page tracking
    Data entry using DCI book
    But we are still not able to extract this variable. View generation fails with following error.
    ORA-00904: "RDCM"."FIRST_BOOK_PAGE": invalid identifier
    Is there any other step that we have to follow to extract this variable.
    Note: FIRST_BOOK_PAGE column is being populated in Received_DCIs table.
    Please give you inputs.
    Thanks
    Navi

    I was quicky able to replicate your problem by just doing what I would normally do to add a column to a key template. I am not aware of any other steps.
    The default extract macro for FIRST_BOOK_PAGE provides the alias "RDCM". This alias appears in the error message as well. This is an apparent error as this column is not available in rxc.received_dcms. It has to be added either as a custom macro or as a hard code revision to the rdcms_view referenced by each of the defined views for a study. And if it is added "under the sheets", the alias would need to be RDCI or at least something other than RDCM since this is already in use for all of the other stuff coming from received_dcms.
    This is the explanation for the error message, ie. even though you've added it to the key template, it is an invalid reference because it is looking at the wrong table.

  • Problem with Pages on the iPad 2.

    Hi all,
    I have been having a strange problem with Pages on the iPad that I hope someone can find a solution for.
    As a writer, I find that Pages on the iPad is a very good solution to my problem of needing something small and light to transport around, whilst still allowing me to do some serious writing.  I use the Apple 3 battery bluetooth keyboard, and this gives me a superb working solution.
    I started using the iPad 2 to do my second book and for the first 40,000 words everything was fine.  But as I started going back and forth with the cursor keys, editing passages in the book, I noticed that the cursor position did not match up with the I beam cursor on screen.  As it transitioned between pages it would loose it's corresponding position and the entry point for new text could be up to six characters in either direction.
    Now this is not a problem if you enter a new page, as there is nothing beyond it, but in the majority of cases it is a major problem when going back over your work and editing it.  I have to manually reset the start position of every new page so as to garantee the typing will go where I want it to.
    Now I thought at first this was something to do with Bluetooth keyboard, but after using the onscreen keyboard and the find and replace function, I have noticed that it loses it's position in the document in a similar way.  I have included a screen shot of it finding a problem I was searching for.  In this case it is ", and" to be replaced with "and," or "and".  Clearly in the image you can see that it is not happy and is not selecting the right things, if I replace it will replace exactly what is selected.
    Has anyone else seen this problem.  It seems to happen with large or small documents and I think that this is a fundamental problem with Pages on the iPad.  Seeing as I can't get Apple to acknowledge this I brought it here for everyone else to check out.  If we get enough voices on this, then we can make change happen.

    That's right Br Abdullah, I'm finding the same problem with my itune Arabic library that I synced to iBooks version 1.5! As you say the pages are not arranged correctly.
    The other problem that I'm finding is that the highlights &amp; notes that i have made on the books on a previous version of ibooks, when synced with ibooks version 1.5, they are scattered everywhere, and sometimes in areas where there are no texts.
    I left a message on the report a bug section of iBooks on the app store, and I contacted them on their feedback of apple product issues. I don't know what else we can do. It seems that no one is listening to us. I'm Dissapointed that I upgraded my iBooks version to 1.5; I was really looking forward to reading on my new iPhone 4S (on iBooks)!
    What else can we do to get our concerns heared? Somebody? Anybody?
