Replacing multiple odd pages in Acrobat X

I have a document that needs a number of pages replacing, the problem being is that the pages in the document are not in sequence. The pages that I need to replace are all the odd ones 1,3,5,7,9,11,13..... e.t.c If the pages were in sequence then this would not be an issue as its possible to select using shift then drag the page thumbnails across and replace using the shortcut ctrl and alt. I thought this method would work by selecting all the odd pages using ctrl , then select all the pages that require replacing in the document then drag them across but this does not work, when they are dragged into the document the pages are replaced in sequence.
I hope this makes sense, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Now THAT was helpful (double click on the cropped part, etc.). WHY did they make it so hard/nonintuitive to find such a much-needed feature? Weird. (I'm using the Windows version, but same weirdness there.)

Acrobat 7.0 convert printing multiple bookmarks as odd pages

Hi all,
A common problem I've been having is being sent .pdf's with bookmarks, and only one page; the rest bookmarks. How can I print them as 'odd pages' then print as 'even pages' so I'm not wasting lots of paper. Also too time consuming to print one page at a time.
Any help greatfully received.
Regards
Darren

Thanks I'm aware of that feature.
The bookmarks are there, but there aren't any pages. You have to click on the bookmark to display said page. There is a total of 30 documents (pages but we won't call them that as they are bookmarks). When you go to print you need to click on the bookmark/page you want to print, and it only recognises that page. Not the other 29 bookmarks.
My understanding/research on bookmarks indicates pages are needed. However this document is not showing that at, the bookmarks are treated as pages. As I did not create the document I wonder what the scandal is???

How to set multiple home pages, the option is gone (replaced my hard drive and had to reinstall firefox) This version seems to only offer tabs, not pages?

My old version of Firefox had the option for me to set multiple home pages. My hard drive recently failed and had to be replaced, so I had to install the newest version of Firefox. The only option I see when I go to tools, options, general is to set the one home page. (and maybe tabs) I would like to open several of the same pages every time I open my Firefox. Does anyone know how to get this back, or which version had this feature so I can downgrade to that particular version?
Also, I was wondering if there is a way to get the bookmarks I had on the old version back. I think they are lost forever, but if anyone knows, I would be thankful. I do still have the old hard drive, but the way it failed was actually when you tried to open any browser, the hard drive would go and blue screen, this is why the old hard drive had to be replaced. Thanks. :)

So you mean you want to open new windows with the same page when you open Firefox?
[[How to set the home page#w_set-more-than-one-website-as-your-home-page|Set more than one website as your home page]] should help if you want to open multiple pages when you open Firefox.
As for recovering your bookmarks, you can try to plug that hard drive into a working computer, and then read [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] to copy your bookmarks from it. However, if it is failing you may not be able to do that.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Can't view last odd page in navigation panel

When viewing pages of a pdf through the pages navigation panel in Acrobat 9 Pro in 2-up view, if the document finishes on an odd page, you cant scroll down and view the last page in the navigation panel. This wasn't a problem in Acrobat 8 Professional. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix this?
I have attached a screen capture that shows the problem.

Thank you, but that's not going to be very efficient for his purposes, he says. He's actually moving back to Acrobat 7 to build new documents. I spoke with Adobe tech support this morning and showed them the issue via desktop viewing; they stated that the engineers are still working on the problem and it "would fixed in the next major release." Very disappointing.
Do you any insight into when the next major release of Acrobat may be?

Replacing pages in Acrobat 8

When replacing a PDF page on a fillable form in Acrobat 8 with a page from another flat PDF form also created in Acrobat 8, a letter may be dropped from the middle of any given word. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a fix?

I'm having the exact same problem, and I am not about to
redo all of the links. Did you ever receive an answer on this? I'm so beyond frustrated right now.

Replacing Old Website Templates in Dreamweaver
One of the most difficult tasks for a web designer is
updating legacy
websites. Legacy websites are websites which have existed for
many years.
Often these sites have outdated code or are badly in need of
an upgrade. For
years, Dreamweaver has used templates to allow an entire site
to be updated
at once simply by making changes to a master page. But what
do you do when
the template itself was developed with outdated code and the
site needs a
complete design overhaul? How do you fix it without having to
cut and paste
the content from every existing page to a newly designed one?

Won't display odd page on right in two-up view

thanks in advance for reading this: I self publish several books of my own. Using InDesign CS3 I've exported them (for years, all the way back to Pagemaker) as a 'book' pdf and with ID's wonderful view pdf feature, I've been able to review them 'two-up' the way they would appear after printing. After CS3 for some reason, I can't get Acrobat to let me view them with the odd page, ie., the first page, starting on the right panel, the even on the left and so on.
At first I thought it was a page numbering or pagination issue from Indd, but....I've gone back to older pdf's in previous books and brought them up in Acrobat and the same thing now appears. Can't seem to find any reference to this in the online help or the local help files.
Any ideas? I'd be most appreciative....

Using Version 8.1.2
Goto VIEW
Then PAGE DISPLAY
Then select SHOW COVER PAGE DURING TWO UP
Seems to work for me, took a bit of hunting to find that, despite Adobe's online help telling me that multiple page documents will always display with the odds on the right to make sense of books!

Acrobat 9 Pro: Message "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display page correctly.

Hi everyone,
I posted this in September: "Over the past week, I have received pdfs from 2 different graphic design contractors that do not open correctly in Acrobat 9 Pro. There is an error in the document and when I scroll to the page where the error is, I get: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person hwo created the PDF document to correct the problem." I did this, and the contractor remade the pdf 3 times, and I still couldn't open it. This contractor is already using CS5. For the problem today, I haven't asked for it to be remade yet--decided to see if I could find out if anyone else is having the same problem. The second contractor is using CS4. The only thing that I have done differently at my end over the past week is upgrade CS4 to CS5. I already had Acrobat Pro 9 so I didn't update it when I updated my CS5 products. Should I have upgraded Acrobat 9 anyway? Somehow, it doesn't feel right that this is the problem. Any info on this would be appreciated."
I got one response from that posting, suggesting that the pdf was corrupted over email. That wasn't the problem.
What I didn't say above is that whenever I got an error message upon opening the pdf and clicked OK, I got another message: "Insufficient data for an image." I found that one or all of the images in the pdf were missing. Upon further investigation, the contractor and I found that sometimes the error message pointed to a specific font used--that being a Helvetica Bold font. Once we substituted it with a Helvetica Neue LT Std Adobe Opentype font, we no longer had an issue.
However, the problem rose it's ugly head today--what, 6 months later! I'm talking about 2 different pdfs this time.
For PDF#1, I got this error message about the font: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'JNAGNS+HelveticaNeueLTStd-Bd'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." When I click OK, I get another: "Insufficient data for an image." The images don't show up in the pdf. What I don't understand about this pdf is that this is one of those that was fixed in September. The only changes made in the document was to paragraph text--none to the text in the images. When I opened the revised pdf today, I am getting the same message again. This makes no sense.
I returned to my September blog to see if any further advice had been posted, but nada--not even anything from Adobe about it. I goggled until I found where someone suggested running a "Report PDF syntax issues" analysis in Preflight. I did that and even though the analysis showed the pdf passed, I checked the fonts in the list and saw that the one pointed to in the error message showed that a long list of glyphs were missing on both pages of the pdf. I have asked my contractor to replace her font with a new one, in case it has gotten corrupted. Haven't a new pdf to open yet.
Then when I opened PDF#2, I got the message: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person hwo created the PDF document to correct the problem." When I ran the "Report PDF syntax issues" analysis in Preflight, I found got this warning: "Invalid operand(s) for operator (1 match on 1 page)". I clicked through and under "Page Description Errors/Invalid operand(s) for operator", it identifies Operator Name, Stream State, Operators Read, and Traversal Path. Under "Trigger Values" is says "Invalid operand(s) for operator: is true". None of this means a thing to me so I can't figure out what the problem is.
Let me say this: Both the contractor and I are using CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9, on Lion. If it helps, the contractor also sent one of the problem pdfs back in September to my boss who is running Acrobat Pro 9 on Windows 7 and she got the same messages.
Does anyone out there have a suggestion for us? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thanks to all for posting suggestions. As it turned out, the contractor who was having a problem reinstalled Acrobat 9. She works from home and is emailing the pdfs to me. Things were running smoothly until this past week, when the problem started again. Whenever I get a pdf that won't open properly or print, I asked her to zip it and it is no longer a problem. Last week, I had the same problem start with a contractor in Florida and she also zips the pdf when there is a problem. Now I am thinking the problem might be at my end. I wonder if something is happening to them when they come through our firewall at work. I asked IT about it before but they didn't have a clue what the problem might be. Right now, zipping is the answer...who knows how long that will continue to work.

How can you combine multiple PDF pages into one searchable PDF page?

I have scanned multiple business cards and now have a PDF file with over 500 pages (or cards). I would like to be able and create a page with 8 cards to a page and is still searchable for text. Right now, the text is searchable. Basically have 63 pages and not 500.
Example:
If I wanted to find Joe Smith's card, I could search for "Joe Smith" and it would search all of the text and bring me to the page(s). Right now, it will bring me to that page. Is there a way to create a page where I can have multiple cards and the text is still searchable?
I tried to create a page in Photoshop, made 8 different layers with 8 different cards, but when saved, not only was the file way too large, but no text, or font, was detected and there was nothing to search for.
Is there an option to create a page in Acrobat Professional and put 8 cards to a page?
I have InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat Professional Pro.
Thanks,
mr19th

That sounds great, but I'm lost.
I followed these steps:
1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
2) Chose print
The print/printer options pop-up will show.
3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
Am I missing anything?

28 page Designer 7 .pdf form only shows one page in Acrobat 8

Help!
We have .pdf's that were generated with Designer 7.1, containing filled-in form data, but they cannot be viewed under Acrobat 8.1.
For example, a 28 page .pdf displays OK under Acrobat 6 (with warnings) and Acrobat 7 (error-free) ... but only displays one, blank page (with no errors and no warnings) under Acrobat 8.
Does anybody have any idea why Acrobat 8.1 is only displaying one page instead of the full 28 pages seen with Acrobat 6 or Acrobat 7?

Hi -
Thank you for the reply:
1. The "Adobe Acrobat" forums ultimately point back to "Adobe Reader" - and this forum. There doesn't appear to be any separate forum for "Adobe Acrobat".
2. Thank you for the suggestion about Lifecycle Designer.
I tried to download LifeCycle Designer, but the link pointed to exactly the same "ar 8.1.2" download I'm currently having the problem with. Do I need "Lifecycle Enterprise"?
3. I've tried multiple different versions of Acrobat Reader 8.1.x, and even Acrobat 8/Pro. They all show only one page: no errors, but no data, either.
Acrobat 6 and 7, however, show a full 28 pages. Even Linux shows all 28 pages (and reports no errors or warnings in the .pdf). Do you have any idea what could account for this?
Thank you in advance

If possible, How do I copy multiple PDF pages to a word document?

I know how to take a snapshot of one PDF page at a time and copy to a word document; however, I do not know how to copy multiple PDF pages at once. Is it even possible? I would love to know if anyone has any information pertaining to my question!
Thanks,
Suns2006

If it messed up the formatting, you will not be able to do more with Acrobat. Some third party products supposedly do pretty well, but that conversion may cost you as much as Acrobat.

Text Replacement in scanned page question

I must be doing something incredibly wrong because I cannot get text to be replaced in a scanned OCR document. I am using Acrobat Pro 9.
Before getting to that, let me ask this question: If I am scanning a document created using a readily available font like Times New Roman, why does Acrobat even bother using the scanned page for displaying text? It knows the text, the OCR was 100% accurate. Why not replace the 300 dpi scanned bitmap image with real, vector-based text? I don't understand that.
OK, now to just trying to replace what amounts to fuzzy looking text with vector text. I've read how to replace text using Tools-> Advanced Editing-> TouchUp Text Tool where I select text, right click on it, go to properties and change the text. Here's what happens when I do that:
First off, the defaults in the properties dialog are set to no fill and no stroke. Why is that? If you're changing your font, wouldn't you want it to show?
After making a selection and closing the dialog, the text indeed changes, but the original, fuzzy text is there as well. And, as there are slight differences in font size, the page is virtually unreadable as it has the appearance of being printed twice with different alignments each time.
This is, of course, quite useless. I MUST be doing something wrong.
Of course, taking even this course of action is pretty frustrating, as the document I'm working on has many statements in bold, so doing a global font change isn't even practical. I really just wish acrobat would know that it can display vector text from the get-go, and forego the bitmapped text altogether.
Thanks, I hope my frustration isn't too evident!

I can't replace or delete pages in a pdf file - I am receiving a "bad parameters" error message

I am unable to replace or delete pages in pdf files. I keep getting an error message that says "bad parameters". This just recently started happening. I'm using Windows 7 & PPT 2010. Help.

Hi GMJ47,
How is the pdf created? Many a times due to bad pdf structure this error comes up.

Split PDF, name odd pages and name even pages in sequence

I need help creating a script to ask the user for a PDF file then do the following:
-Extract even pages and rename name with "_Front#" ending where "#" is a number sequence starting with 1.
→ ex: the PDF I choose when prompted is "anatomyBook". The extracted even pages would be:
     - anatomyBook_Front1, anatomyBook_Front2, anatomyBook_Front3,...
-Extract odd pages and name them similarly except replace "Front" with "Back"
Thanks for the help!

Ok, I have solved some issues I found with the previous script and Automator configuration.
The Filter Finder Items action apparently uses kMDItemKind to determine the file type, and if you choose a PDF file without an extension, this action will not pass the file to the Bash script. Result: 0.
The mdls command, for the same reason will always fail to get a page count when it encounters a extensionless PDF file.
Remove the entire mdls/egrep command sequence from the script.
Wrote a shell function that runs Python, imports the CoreGraphics module, and returns the page count for PDF files with/out extensions. The function takes as its argument, the input PDF filename, which it passes into Python as a command-line argument ($1). It returns a page count.
Replace entire Bash script in Automator with the following code.

Tools - Pages - Rotate Acrobat X

I can rotate a scanned document into PDF using the View pulldown menu or right clicking on the document and clicking rotate clockwise. However, if I click on tools, then pages, then rotate, nothing will happen after I click OK. Can anyone help? I am using Acrobat X with Windows 7 x64.
Thank you.

Hi Haitimes,
I can understand your concern. You can rotate all or selected pages in a document. Rotation is based on 90° increments. You can rotate pages using the rotate tools in the Page Thumbnails pane or using the Rotate option (described below).
Choose Tools > Organize Pages.
The Organize Pages toolset is displayed in the secondary toolbar.
The Organize Pages toolset in the secondary toolbar.
In the secondary toolbar, specify the page range on which you want to apply the rotation.
You can choose Even Pages, Odd Pages, Landscape Pages, Portrait Pages, All Pages, or enter the page number you want to perform the operation on.
After specifying the page range, for Direction, select the counterclockwise 90 Degrees or clockwise 90 Degrees .
You can also apply the page rotation on a specific page by clicking the counterclockwise or clockwise rotation buttons displayed in the page thumbnail view.
Page rotation in the page thumbnail view.
*Note : To temporarily change your view of the page, choose View > Rotate View > Clockwise or Counterclockwise. The original page orientation is restored the next time you open the PDF.
In case if you still have any query please let us know, we will be more than happy to help you.
Regards,
Aadesh
