Putting lots of different pictures into different pdf-files together

hi there,
my boss gave me a tricky task and I dont know how to solve the problem without some help. It's about putting lots of different pictures into different pdf-files together. May be you have some ideas how to succeed. Please excuse my german-laced english.
My task is to merge (or put together) about 4-5 pictures into one pdf. the problem: i have 4.000 pictures. the advantage: the pictures that i have to merge are named pretty similar, it looks like:
ab_pictures 1
ab_pictures 2
ab_pictures 3
ab_pictures 4
ab_pictures 5
cd_pictures 1
cd_pictures 2
cd_pictures 3
cd_pictures 4
ef_pictu...etc.
i have to merge ab-picuteres 1-5 to one pdf called "ab_pictures 1", cd_pictures to one pdf called "cd_pictures 1"...
because there are so many picture-groups that i have to merge i was wondering if there is a possibility to automate this task by just telling the programm once what it has to, so it can do it without me sitting next to it, telling it each time what it should do next.
this would safe me a lot (!) of time. Here at my working place there is adobe acrobat reader 9 running, there is also distiller available (I dont know what this appclication is used for).
my question: is it possible to "programm" acrobat that i could do such a task automatically? Or do I have to buy other programms (may be a database-programm or something like that) to be able to it?
thank you very much in advance for your expertise and please excuse my german-laced english.
regards,
scoutee1

How can I combine different pdf files in one?

How can I combine different pdf files in one?

Sara,
It is not working. I wish to decline in having the pdf pack. How can I give up this purchase? I definitely do not want the Adobe PDF Pack anymore.
Who do I have to contact or what do I need to do to cancel this purchase?

How can I combine different pdf files in one?
created by Sara.Forsberg in Adobe PDF Pack - View the full discussion
Hi Flávia,
Adobe PDF Pack is an online subscription--it definitely allows you to combine several files into one PDF file. For more information about PDF Pack, see Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, this is a great solution for combining PDF files.
However, if you're using Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), you combine files by following these steps:
Open a PDF file that you want to add pages to.
Click the Pages pane on the Tools panel (on the right side of the application).
Click Insert From File, and choose the file that you want to combine with the PDF that you opened in step 1.
Make any changes necessary in the Insert Pages dialog box--these settings determine where the new file will be inserted.
Click OK.
Please let me know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Generate Report for each value of a certain column in a different pdf file

Hi,
I am generating a Group Above report in Oracle Reports Builder 10g.
The scenario is that this report needs to be generated for several branches of a bank. The report needs to get generated in a different pdf file for each branch.
The report, I have built, has a repeating frame based on the Branch group and all other reqd data are organised into repeating frames within this master frame.
Currently the report is getting generated for all branches with the correct data but in the same pdf file.
Please help.

Hello,

37 Bursting and Distributing a Report
Oracle Reports enables you to deliver a single report to multiple destinations simultaneously. By taking advantage of this feature, you can create a single report, then send it in any format (for example, PDF or HTML) to multiple destinations.
In this example, you will modify a simple report we have provided to burst each group to a separate report. You will then modify a sample distribution XML file to send an e-mail to each destination with an attachment based on the separate reports. You will also send multiple e-mails to the same e-mail address with a single attachment (the entire report).

I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf. When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank. When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content

I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf. When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank. When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content turned into symbols. What is going wrong?

You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

Saving InDesign booklet pages to different pdf files

I created an 8-page booklet in InDesign (layout, letter-half). I'd like to save the project to two different pdf files: one pdf for pages 1, 2, 7 and 8, to be printed on a color printer, and one pdf for pages 3,4,5, and 6 to be printed in black and white. Printing would be two-sided 1 & 8, 2 & 7, and so on. When I converted the .indd file to pdf, I could not determine how to save these specific page ranges. Help?
Thanks,
Doreen

I am in Adobe, under the Extract options. What do I specify. Right now it says:
FROM Spread 1 of 4 - Pages(8, 1) TO Spread 1 of 4 - Pages(8, 1) OF 4
What do I type in for this to be 1 & 8 plus 2 & 7 (which would then be printed out double-sided) and 3 & 6 plus 4 & 5 (also double-sided printing).
As a back-up with manual double-sided printing, I'd also like to create 1 & 8, 2 & 7, 3 & 6, and 4 & 5 as separate pdf files.
I checked off "extract pages as separate files"
thanks,
Doreen

Problem creating several image maps (linking to different pdf files) RoboHelp 8

Hi,
I have a problem creating several image map hotspots (that link to different .pdf files), from the same image using RoboHelp 8 HTML (WebHelp project).
After compiling, the first image map hotspot created, opens the .pdf file correctly. Unfortunately, when clicking on the other image hotspots, I get an error " Cannot find file...<file path>... Make sure path or Internet address is correct".
All the pdf documents are located in the same folder within the project.
Can anyone help?

Have you added the target files as baggage?

HP Officejet 4315 with Windows 7 - How to scan into a .pdf file?

My Officejet under HP Solutions software worked wonderful at scanning files into .pdf with Windows Vista. Now that I have an upgraded computer with Windows 7, I've found that HP Solution is no longer available and I have to use the Windows Scan and fax software which is very limited. It only lets me scan into 4 different file types - .bmp, .tif, .gif and .jpeg. None of my usual contacts can read and open the files I send them now. What can be done here to allow me to do business as usual? The only way around this that I've found is I can scan with Windows Paint and then insert the 'picture' into a word file which I can then convert to .pdf, but the quality goes way down, not to mention my time to do this goes way up.

OK, only solution I've found is to use a 3rd party program - try cutePDF.
Thanks for nothing HP!

Insert pdf file into another pdf file keeps getting stuck

I am trying to insert a 5 page pdf file into another pdf file (both unsecured) and it keeps getting stuck at about 71%* conplete. I can't even get the file to show up on the screen so i can close it. Help?

I have tried several different files, and get the same phenomenon with each one –
1.     I open an acrobat file.
2.     I open a WORD file.
3.     I copy a sentence from WORD to the clipboard.
4.     I click on View in Acrobat, Tools, Pages, other options, insert from clipboard.
5.     Acrobat shows that it is copying, and when it gets to 67% it stops and runs and runs and then only way I can stop it is to go to the task manager and end task.
I tried refrying with a file and that didn’t work, and I can’t imagine that Acrobat was designed so that each time I try to insert from WORD I would have to refry (even if it did work).
Please help!
Thank you

Convert and combine many image files into a pdf file?

I have about 250 png and jpg files in a directory, and would like to convert and combine them into a pdf file.
I wonder what steps to do that in Acrobat Adobe 9 in Windows?
Requirements are:
They are named in the order of 0000.png, 0001.jpg, ..., 0250.png, in which I would like to create the pages of the resulting pdf file.
Also there may be some numbers (such as neither 0010.png nor 0010.jpg exists) missing, but still I would like the images be in the same order after creation of a pdf file.
I would like the pages in the resulting pdf file look to have the same or similar size.
But the numbers of pixels of the image files are different. Some are about 2000 x 3500 pixels, and some are about 800 x 1200 pixels.
I also would like to have control of the spatial resolution such as the dpi parameter
I also would like to OCR the pdf file (the images are scanned raster images).
I would like the resulting pdf file to take reasonable storage size on my disk.

You don't say what version of Acrobat you are using, but I expect you could do it with Acrobat XI's Actions feature. Maybe even in 10.0. Since this is an enterprise deployment forum, I suggest you find a better forum and ask about Actions and Batch Processing.

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix

I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file. I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix issues I had fixed in the single files. I need suggestions on what else can be done if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

Out of habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page Thumbnails pane by right-click then "Insert Pages" -> "From File". For me, this preserves the tags from both documents, although the tags may have to be moved into the right location (if I recall correctly the tags for the inserted pages get put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), If I first put the tags for the document to be inserted inside a container tag like Section, it makes the process easier. Moving that set of tags to the right place is the only re-fixing that I recall having to do. What behavior are you experiencing?

Getting Canon 4770 to scan multipages into a PDF file while using the document feeder

Hi All
I'm new to this forum. So if I break any rules with my questions below, kindly forgive me.
But my questions are about my Canon MF4770 printer.
1. Why can't I used the document feeder to scan multiple pages into one PDF file?
2. Why do I have to constantly select the remote scanner option when the printer is connected to my computer?
Any help I can get will be very appreciated.
Starlene

Hi Starlene and welcome to the Canon forum,
The ability to scan multi-page documents can depend on your operating system and version, and if the scanning software being used supports the feature. However, the MF Toolbox application that accompanies your laser product offers this option when scanning via a USB connection to your computer.
For example, if you are using Windows, below are the steps that would be performed:
1. Place documents.
Note: Up to 35 documents can be loaded in the feeder. Be sure to fan the stack, place it face up, and align the document guides to the width of document.
2. Press [SCAN].
3. Press [^] or [v] to highlight <Remote Scanner>, and then press [OK].
The machine is now waiting to be scanned.
4. Double-click the [Canon MF Toolbox 4.9] icon on the desktop.
The MF Toolbox starts.
5. Click [PDF].
Select [PDF (Multiple Pages)] in [Save as Type].
7. Specify the required settings as needed and click [PDF Settings].
The [PDF Settings] dialog box appears.
8. Specify the required settings as needed and click [OK]:
[Create Searchable PDF] Converts the characters in the document to text data and makes the PDF document searchable with keywords.
[Text Language] Select the language of the text to be scanned. The characters may be recognized more accurately if you select [English] from the drop-down list and set [Image Quality] to [300 dpi] or higher in [Scanner Settings].
[PDF Compression] Select [High] for color images such as photos or illustrations to reduce file sizes.
9. Click [Start].
Note:
A folder with the scanning date will be created in the [MY PICTURES] folder in the [MY DOCUMENTS] folder, and your document will be saved in this folder. If there is no [MY PICTURES] folder, the folder with the scanning date will be created in the [MY DOCUMENTS] folder and your document saved in this folder.
For text documents or black-and-white documents, it is recommended you select either [BLACK and WHITE] or [GRAYSCALE] in [SCAN MODE].
If making a Multiple PDF with color documents ([IMAGE QUALITY] set to [300 dpi]), it is recommended that the PDF have fewer than 20 pages.
The MF toolbox can be loaded from your software CD or downloaded here from the "Drivers & Software" tab on the Canon USA website.
I can understand some confusion on having to select "Remote Scanner" when you have a direct computer connection to your product. The reason for this is that first, the "Remote Scanner" mode refers to seeing your computer as a stand alone, or remote, device; however, the "Computer" scanning mode option allows you to select which computer will be performing a scan when doing so over a network (Max: up to 10 computers).
Another reason for having to select the scan mode is that the selection is not programmed but selected based on the type of scan you will be performing at the time.

How to print an excel file (2010 version) with multiple tabs into a pdf file with bookmarks (acrobat 9). I was able to do this easily using excel (2007 version).

Recently I got a new laptop, with excel 2010 version and acrobat 9 standard.
I could no longer print (save as) an excel file with multiple tabs into a pdf file with bookmarks.
My old computer has excel 2007 version and acrobat 9 standard.
Print an excel file into pdf with bookmarks was a piece of cake.
Both machine has the same add-in -- Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM addin
Thanks if anyone could help me with this.
Tom

You need to upgrade Acrobat to a newer version.
