Reducing pdf dimensions (to show pages only)

I have a book made into an acrobat PDF (version 1.6 made in Acrobat 7). The PDF was made via one double page SPREAD of the original book is equal to one page of the PDF.
Is there a way to cut the pages of the entire pdf, increasing the number of pages, so I can see only one book page per one pdf page? Or do I have to do this manually, like crop spreads to make single pages in Photoshop, then into Quark, then a pdf?

Paul, ok, I have successfully duplicated the body within the document and followed your crop right/odd only and crop left/even only instructions. Do I now manually move pages into proper order? Every two pages are out of order. I am drag and dropping to get them in order, or did I crop the spreads wrong? John

Embedding PDF in Powerpoint - showing filename only not PDF content

Hi all,
I have automated a powerpoint presentation to embed PDF's into a powerpoint presentation...
this all works great but on some machines the content does not show, it only shows as the filename... it is still embeded but I want the content of the PDF to be displayed on the slide... which it does on some machines and I can't see what is different on the PC's that it won't do that on...
The command used to insert the PDF is ...
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddOLEObject(Left:=60, Top:=20, FileName:=strOutputPath & "\" & strFilename, link:=msoFalse).Select
which is just an insert object from file command...
Further investigation showed that even trying to do this manually still will not bring in the content in... so then as a test i inserted the PDF in an Excel spreadsheet and the same result... content appears on some PC's some just show the filename only...
PS... I don't have the 'Show as icon' checkbox selected when i'm doing this.
Any pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated...
Cheers
Steve.

OK - so Postscript and EPS are programming languages while PDF is not. So it's not the same thing. But I understand the concept.
An XObject is correct - but a Form XObject NOT a reference XObject. If this is for Acrobat, and you want to do this the quick and easy way, then call over to the addWatermark() method in JavaScript and let it do all the heavy lifting for you. Or, for native plugin code in Acrobat, there is the AFPDFormFromPage() API that will also do the work of creating the necessary CosObj for you.
For PDFLibrary, you will need to do the work yourself as there isn't a high level API call.

Firefox (only!) web page downloads pdf instead of showing page.

When I go to foccl.com and view books>new>or on order Firefox 3.16 w Mac OSX 10.6.6 downloads the page instead of showing it. Safari and chrome both show the page.
On Windows 7, this page shows as intended.
Any ideas?

Adobe edge show page only after download all image....

hi, i have a composition wiht 30 images....when i open page it loads in around 5-6 seconds because adobe edge download all the image and after show the page...i have set immediate preloader that must only download the code and show the page but only in teory..in practice it download all element as code and image and then show the page.... there is' a way to not download all the images and display the composition after downloading only the code or a management priority to download?

You need an event to trigger an advanced action, and timing is not an event.
Why not create another identical slide, and have the playhead move to that slide after the first slide (with a timeline of 30secs) is finished?

Place MultiPage PDF creates envelope size pages only

I know I somehow changed my default settings so I quit out of ID. I start it up, I select default (8.5 x 11), new doc opens. I open script and select place Multipage PDF. By default, new doc is first option, I select it and I end up with a multipage ID file at 9.5 x 4.125. Huh? I quit ID again, start it. Default page size is LH. What gives with the script? I don't want to reset my prefs if I can avoid it since I have everything perfect. I want 8.5 x 11 to be my default file size when placing multipage PDF.

Hi Richard, Al,
The script (assuming that this is PlaceMultipagePDF.jsx or .applescript that was installed with CS3) does nothing to change your page size--it just uses the default page size. You have somehow changed your default page size. To get it back to Letter, close all documents, then Choose Document Setup from the File menu and set the default there (not in the New Document dialog box).
If this is some other script with the same name, then I don't know what's going on.
Thanks,
Ole

Viewing preferences are not saved / remembered "show pages side by side"

Hello all,
I just uploaded a PDF document to Acrobat.com. After it loads i need to click on "" show pages side by side" or "click to view a single page at a time" to get viewed fitted on the screen. Is there an option that the PDF always load "show pages side by side". I already added those preferences in the PDF but no result in the Acrobat.com function. But if i open it in Acrobat Pro it will open pages side by side" and if i open it in Acrobat it will open side by side.
Does anyone got an idea if this is possible?
Best regards,
Phillip

Hello Phillip,
Thank you for posting to the Acrobat.com forum. It's a very good point that you bring up: there is currently no way to save PDF preview preferences in Acrobat.com (unfortunately, the Acrobat.com PDF preview will not respond to settings within the document, as it's just a preview and not the file itself). We don't currently have any explicit plans to include such a feature, but I would strongly encourage you to bring this idea over to our Acrobat.com Ideas site:
http://ideas.acrobat.com
This site is where people who use Acrobat.com can post their ideas and suggestions to the team and tell us what they'd like to see in the service. This seems like a viable candidate for posting there; I recommend taking a look and posting this thought so that the Acrobat.com team will have the chance to see it and consider it for a future release.
Thanks again!

How to reduced PDF to its smallest possible size for Emails

Hi I'm trying to send a PDF portfolio to prospective employees, however most emails can only send a file no larger than 10mb (which these days is a ridiculous size).
I want to reduce the size of the PDF which is currently at roughly 17mb. I've used the reduce PDF size save option, but only reduces it by roughly 1mb. Is there any other method to really compress the data further??
Cheers,
Mattheus

I agree with TSN. However, reducing the size it typically done with "Reduce PDF Size" or "PDF Optimize" in the Save As menu. If you have included a lot of scans, that is likely your problem. If I was receiving a package so large, I would be having 2nd thoughts about calling one in for an interview unless something stood out big time. It may be that you need to retype some things are such, possibly even reconsider what you include. To you, 10 MB may not seem like much, but to many folks (particularly those who would get a lot of resumes), that is a big file wasting their HDD space. You may disagree, but I am giving you a perspective that I believe many employers might have. Good luck in any case.

File pdf-reference.pdf doesn't print properly - only cover page

When I try to print the standard pdf reference from the Acrobat 8.0 SDK samples in all.sln in Visual Studio, only the cover page prints. Further, the sample javascript object program only says there is one page. The file consists of the cover page, and four embedded pdf files, totaling 1500 + pages. How do you make the samples print out the cover page, and then extract and print the embedded parts of the file?
C:\TEMP
CoverSheet.pdf
PDF Reference.pdf
PDF Errata.pdf
PDF Addendum.pdf
The java object sample should say "this file has 4 sub-files and totals 1500 pages", etc.
What is the problem here?

I don't know if there is a sample showing you how to do this - but it's pretty easy.
Look at the documentation for the Data Object in the SDK JavaScript docs.

Creating PDFs using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and can only see the first 10 pages in PDF even when the page numbers on bottom state 10 of 13 (or any number greater than 10).

PDFs create great, unless they should be over 10 pages and then it appears the data was converted to PDF by viewing the page numbers at the bottom of the PDF but you can only view the first 10 pages in the pdf file.

Hi stephaniec0103,
Could you please let me know what exact dot version of Acrobat 9 and OS you are using.
Have you tried repairing Acrobat from the Help menu?
Acrobat 9 is an older version and incompatible with new OS versions, so I would suggest you to try using Acrobat XI (latest version) and check for the same.
You may download a 30-day free trial version of Acrobat from the below mentioned link:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
Let me know how it goes.

When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

Hi John
I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.

Fonts not showing correctly only when on my account page on app store

fonts not showing correctly only when on my account page on app store

Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this

Safari status bar disappears. I have tried clicking on show status bar, under the View tab and it will only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen. I can not minimize the open page, only full screen or close the browser. Any idea how the rectify this issue?

One enters and exits full-screen with control+command+F keys. This is on the View menu in Safari. Optionally, the green traffic light in your browser title bar, if you roll over it, has the full-screen control it it. While in full-screen mode with Safari, moving your mouse pointer virtually up, and off-screen reveals the Safari title bar again, and you can click the green traffic light to exit full-screen mode.
You can hide/show the status bar by simply typing command+/. This too, is on the Safari View menu. and in 10.10.1 — it works reliably for me.

When I print a pdf file, the first page is dramatically reduced in size while remainder pages print correct size. How do I fix this pro blem?

recently, when printing pdf files, the first page prints out as 1/10 or 1/20th original size while rest of document prints correctly.
I have no idea how this happened or why and I have no idea how to fix. I cannot get the first page of any pdf doocument to
print correctly and thus, I am virtually unable to print pdf files.

Sometimes if a .pdf is smaller than actual 8 1/2 x 11 or bigger, you'll either get way too much of the image and it's cut off, or the image is too small. You should also try to do this in the print driver window: Properties -> Advanced -> Image Options -> Disable "PostScript pass-through"

My font changes when I export to pdf, not on every page but only a few pages

I am using the font Helvetica, light in my iBook. It looks the same on every page in iBooks Author, but when I export it to PDF some of the pages look like they are written with font Helvetica bold. Can anyone suggest a fix? Thank you

A number of threads dealing with issue have been posted over the past two weeks or so, I suggest a search may help you and also check out the More Like This column on the right.

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox
