Quark (5.x)'s "Each page as PS or PDF..."

Hi,
This "built-in" script seems to be completely broken. Does anybody know how to salvage it? I've been working on it for 2 days, and can't get it to create any postscript files. To even get it to run, I have to remove the "Activate" line and every occurrence of "on error", but even if the script runs, it generates nothing upon completion.
Thanks,
David Wolfe

I've answered my own question. Turns out that scripts for XPress 5 need to be run in Classic OS/Script Editor 1.8.3.
Thanks,
David

Different Background for Each Page of a SINGLE PDF?

Hello Fellow Acrobats,
I work in the film industry and lately, I've been helping quite a bit with Script Distribution. If you work in film then you'll know that we color code each page according to the version of that page. Our first draft is White. Our Second Green, Third Blue, etc. So when we issue updated pages, we print them on the color paper that corresponds to which revision this is. The end result is a script that looks like it was printed on about 10 random colors, but it helps us know we are up to date, so for example, if me and a colleague are looking at something and his page 6 is blue and mine is green, we know his is more recent.
Long Story short with the advent of all these great color portable reading machines (iPhones, Laptops, Blackberry's, the impending iPad) it would be great if I could make a digital version that matched the physical...
Bu when I select a background in Acrobat, it changes the ENTIRE SCRIPT. I don't want to have to export these Scripts Page by Page and then re compile them, so is there a way to select 4 pages and change ONLY THOSE 4 pages background? Then select another 15 and change only THIER background to a DIFFERENT color? or am I going to have to export page by page...

Ha ha, Thanks, that is exactly what I needed! How perfectly obvious, but somehow easy to miss! Thanks so much.

Select each page for a separate PDF

I did a cash flow 60 month spreadsheet, with the help of this forum.
the spreadsheet is by year, the years are separated by a blank column, I would now like to create a PDF for each year.
in other words 5 separate PDf's and forward them via e-mail.
Is there a way of doing this ??
The only thing I can do is to drag and drop BUT it appears as a picture graphic and it shows in an e-mail as a full documents not an attachment.
Any help would be great
Greg

Hi Greg,
From your description of the table layout, you designed your project while wearing your Excel hat. The Numbers way to do the same job would be to have a separate table for each year, particularly if you anticipate wanting to print each year on a separate page. Using the Print View, you can adjust the position of each table to be on a separate page of the Sheet. Then when you print your Sheet, each year will be on a separate page. If you want to print the pages to separate PDF files, you can use the expanded Print dialog to determine which pages to print.
It's not too late to make separate tables of your one big table. Just highlight a year's worth of data and then grab it and pull it out of the table. A new table will be formed with just a year's worth in the new table.
Regarding how the PDF attachments appear in your email, OSX Mail is just trying to do you a favor by giving you a preview of the PDF attachment. It's still just an attachment, and not all mail clients will give the user this preview. If you want to suppress the preview, maybe zipping the file before attaching will do the trick.

Jerry

How do I split each page into a PDF and name them after a line of text on the split page?

All,
I am running a report that is creating hundreds of letters to be sent to customers. When I run the report it creates one large PDF (one letter = one page). To help with a specific business solution I need to split each page into an individual PDF. I know I can extract the pages using the extraction tool. I have also been able to duplicate this from the Javascript console, but only with generic names. The problem is that I need each PDF named after the customer's account number. The account number is listed on the page that I am extracting, but I am having a hard time parsining the text on the pages to find it.
I need to be able to turn each page into a seperate PDF and then rename that PDF to match the account number list on the page.
The account number, is of course, different for every customer and has varied prefixes. The line of text that I need to read starts like this:
Account Number#: NJA00001
I need to just pull the NJA00001.
I would really love to automate this process.
Can you help me with this? Thanks in advance.
PS: I am a little rusty on my Javascript, its been a couple years.

This can probably be achieved with a custom-made script, but it's not possible to know for sure before seeing some sample files.

Name Exported PDFs with text from a frame on each page

Does anyone have an idea how to do the following
I plan on creating a document of say 100 pages. On each page will be a photo of a product and some text frames. In one of the frames will be the product's SKU code - which we will enter manually.
What I want is that we can then export each page as a separate PDF and the filename of each PDF will be taken from the SKU code present in the text frame with .pdf appended.
Has anyone done something like this?
Thanks

Scan multiple pages into a single PDF document?

How can i scan multiple pages into a single multipage PDF file?
I've seen similar questions posted, but I haven't found any good answers. The only advice i saw was to scan each page as a separate PDF document, then merge them into a single PDF using third-party software.
Obviously, i don't want to have to do that.
I can't believe that there really is no way to do it using the existing HP print/scan utilities provided with the hardware.
My printer/scanner is the "HP Photosmart 5514 e-All-in-One Printer - B111h", and i'm running Vista (64-bit) on an HP Pavillion notebook.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
From the HP Scan software (Start > Programs > HP > HP Photosmart 5510 Series > HP Scan) select PDF and ensure the resolution is 300 DPI or lower.
Ensure the Show Scan Preview option is checked and click on Scan.
Once scanning the first page completes, place the next page on the glass and click the plus button below the scan preview...
Once you are done click on Save.

Export multiple page indd as individual pdfs.

I've been racking my brain on this.
I have a very long indd that needs to be sent as hirez pdfs to the printer (don't ask me why, I don't know). Each page needs to be it's own pdf. I know I can export each page individually, or export it as one .pdf and extract each page manually, but is there a way/script out there to export each page individually as a pdf automatically?
Thanks!

Hi,
take a look at the good old ExportEachPageAsPDF.js of the tutorial 'Working with Documents' in http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/Einzel-PDFs_exportieren_P193960.html#193960

Page numbers wrong in PDF - original Quark file ok!

We do magazines mainly and have a Homes and Interiors publication which I have produced for over 7 years. The workflow has changed over the years and is now a PDF one as you'd expect. We output from Quark 7.31 to a postscript file then distill using our custom job option file as provided by the printers we use. Then the files are uploaded to the Agfa Delano system for them to process.
I just had a call from them to say some of the page numbers were wrong so they removed them. The page numbers are inserted using the auto numbering in QuarkXpress and the original file is correct.
The odd thing here is it's not that pages are mixed up - it's just the page numbers that are wrong - the content of each page is correct!! The only change we have done recently is go to Acrobat 9 which obviously uses the new Distiller too - but I am still using my Acrobat 7 printer option when I go to the Print dialogue within Quark. The magazine is 128 pages if that has any bearing and the pages with wrong numbers on them are in sequence (92-111).
Has anyone seen this kind of thing before or are there any known issues with Distiller 9 that could cause this?

Why don't you export the pdf from Quark using the latest pdf printer available?

Repeating a group element on each page of a report.

I have a report where I need to repeat a group element on each page. The element is from the first group in the data. It is in the center group. Currently, the values from this group only print when the group changes. Everything I try does not work. Does anyone have any ideas. I am attaching a sample of the data. Along with the rtf document. I am using the BI Publisher plug in in Word to create the template.

Hi,
You should add a first level of grouping in your subreport on a fake formula field with a constant value. Put your header and footer information in this group header and footer. In the group option make sure to check the "repeat group header on each page option".
This group will act as a page header + footer within your subreport.
good luck!

Sum of LineCount Including Groups and Detail Data On Each Page Used To Generate New Page If TotalPageLineCount 28

Post Author: tadj188#
CA Forum: Formula
Needed: Sum of LineCount Including Groups and Detail Data On Each Page Used To Generate New Page If TotalPageLineCount > 28
Background:
1) Report SQL is created with unions to have detail lines continue on a page, until it reaches page footer or report footer, rather than using subreports.    A subreport report is now essentially a group1a, group1b, etc. (containing column headers and other data within the the report    with their respective detail lines). I had multiple subreports and each subreport became one union.
Created and tested, already:
1) I have calculated @TotalLineForEachOfTheSameGroup, now I need to sum of the individual same group totals to get the total line count on a page.
Issue:
1) I need this to create break on a certain line before, it dribbles in to a pre-printed area.
Other Ideas Appreciated:
1) Groups/detail lines break inconveniently(dribble) into the pre-printed area, looking for alternatives for above situation.
Thank you.
Tadj

How can I print just a select/highlighted portion of a webpage/email? FF prints EVERYTHING on each page, wasting ink.

I switched form IE to FF. In IE, I could select text (or photos) and print just the portion of web pages and emails that I wanted, thus saving paper and ink. I have not been able to do that with FF. I have to print all of each page, so text, ads, and whatever other extraneous material prints. What a waste! Is there any way to select and print just what I need using FireFox? Currently I have to run both IE and FF to handle my printing and documentation needs. Thank you!

Still happens with Firefox 12. I wish they'd just fix it, the way it used to be in Firefox 10, without the complicated workaround suggested above.

Combine PDF's and put filename in footer of each page

Hello,
I've got about a 1000 individual pages to print,
so I figured in order to avoid having to click each page open and print it,
I can combine the documents into one document,
and only launch the print command once,
and then have a coffee until its is finished
But I'd like Acrobat to actually put the filename of each document in the footer of the corresponding page when I combine the documents; so I know afterwards which page is from which document. Is there a simple (easy) way to do this;
or will I have to enter the footer into each page separately?
Thanks,
Jan

Then go to Advanced - Document Processing - Batch Processing and then create
a new batch process and select the command you want to use (probably add
header/footer or something similar) and the input folder and save options.
That's it, basically.

How to print column's value on each page as a header in XML Publisher

Hi,
I have requirements like, there are some fields that I need to print on header level in RTF file. Output file should looks like below.
LN-1) Company_Name     Tax ID-1     Tax ID-2     Report_Type     Page No: Year/001
LN-2) Company_Address
LN-3) MONTH-YEAR
LN-4) Invoice ID     Invoice Date     Tax Code     Supplier Name     Amount
Example:
LN-1) Global Infra.     123     321     General Purchase     Page No: 2012/001
LN-2) NewYork, USA
LN-3) JANUARY-2012
LN-4) Invoice ID     Invoice Date     Tax Code     Supplier Name     Amount
3454 03-JAN-12 Tax-1 ABCD Corp. 100
5678 14-JAN-12 Tax-2 Kant Brothers 200
LN (Line Number)-1,2,3 should be at header level and needs to print on each page. LN-4 are fields of table which will return data. When year changes on Page No. field - page no. should restart from 1 and all records for a particular MONTH-YEAR should be grouped on month-year basis.
I have done page no. thing as if year change, page no. reset to 1 by using "Section Break" on first FOR loop. Later I applied second FOR loop to group data on MONTH-YEAR basis. Here I am getting all records for that particular month (e.g - JANUARY-2012) and MONTH-YEAR is printing on FIRST page. If records are more and lines are going into next page, then I am not getting MONTH-YEAR on second page. I am getting only first 2 lines (means LN-1 & LN-2) on second page at header level and records of that MONTH-YEAR but missing MONTH-YEAR value (JANUARY-2012) on second page. My requirement is to print first 3 lines on each page.
Here Company_Name, Report_Type and MONTH-YEAR are dynamic columns which are holding run time values.
I tried number of ways but didn't get success. Kindly help me to fix this issue and please let me know if you need more details to understand this issue.
Kind Regards,
Umakant

Hi Umakant,
Can you please forward me your template and sample XML data so that i can look into it and will try to fix it. My email id is [email protected]

Header and Footer in not displaying correctly on each page in Adobe Forms

Hi experts,
   I need your little help on Adobe Form. I have develop a customer account statement and facing problem.
     In header and footer part I have to display customer address. It is ok if data is of one page. But when data is overflowing, customer address is showing only at first page in header, and not displaying address neither in header nor in footer(footer section will print on last page, it may be either first page or third page ) on other pages. (Address is table type data )
       Header and footer Section address has been designed on Master Page.
Please help me to resolve these two problems as soon as possible.
Regards
Piyush

I found this post which I hope helps:
This can be done by bit of tweaking using JavaScript.
Actually the problem was, the header was printing continuously in subsequent pages and once the header data was over the rest of the pages contained blank header. But we need have to print same header for each group of items till that group of items finish in the specific page. And for new group of items different header will be filled and so on.
So to overcome this issue, create the item table in such a way that the header data is also included in the item table for each group of items. In the layout, select your header field and the event READY LAYOUT and write the below JavaScript code. This event is called for each page for that header field, so you can directly map the item table value and put it in your header field.
// Get the current page
var currpage = xfa.layout.page(this);
// variable to store number of fields in that page.
var fields = 0;
// Get the number of fields
        fields = xfa.layout.pageContent(currpage-1, "field", 0);
// Loop on each field on the page
        for ( i=0; i<= fields.length-1; i++ )
// Check if the field is in the item table column (it will be actually header data column in your item table)
            if ( fields.item(i).name == "TL" )
// Fetch that value and store in your header field.
                       this.rawValue = fields.item(i).rawValue;
