Saving a new .pdf doc that is (a)chapter(s) of a large doc

Is there a way to save only certain chapters from a .pdf doc?
These documents have chapters.

There is an index on the left. It is possible to select a few chapters and print them. Is there a way to save only those chapters to a new .pdf document?

> It is possible to select a few chapters and print them.
Yes, in the print dialog you can specify a print range.
> Is there a way to save only those chapters to a new .pdf document?
Possible with Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

I have two pdf docs that I used Acrobat to convert to word docs. How do I extract one page from one doc to insert into the other doc?

I have two pdf docs that I converted to Word Docs using Acrobat Pro. How do I extract one page from the first doc and insert it into the second doc? When I "select all" it grabs the entire document. I need to take pages out, put other pages in, and edit some of the text.

HI djlarp,
Try triple-clicking in the text that you want to select--it can sometimes be tricky to select text in a converted document. If that doesn't work, it could be that the PDF document was created from a scanned document, and OCR wasn't enabled when you converted the document. (However, OCR is enabled by default when you convert via the ExportPDF website.)
If you're unable to select text by triple-clicking, let us know. I would be happy to take a closer look at your files.
Best,
Sara

Saving a fillable PDF so that others cannot edit it

Hi,
I'm relatively new to using Adobe Acrobat pro, However i recently made a fillable PDF that i need to be able to fill out, then send to clients who can view it, print it but not edit it. Please can anyone advise me how to save the PDF once it has been filled in so others can see the information, but not change anything.
I use Mac if this makes a difference.
Many Thanks
Tom

In Acrobat X, first use Save A Copy on the file menu to remove the Reader extensions*, then you can flatten the form using a script or extension (e.g. I've got a free one here) - alternatively you run Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information and tick only the form fields box.
*You will need to manually open the copy you saved, it doesn't automatically update in Acrobat.
If you're not bothered about accessibility, you can also print the PDF back to PDF - a process we call refrying - which will flatten everything and remove scripts, metadata, calculations and hidden content (but in the process removes all your tags and structure).

HOw do I create a new PDF file that incorporates the text changes I made in the previous PDF file?

All of my edits appear properly in the saved file but as pop-ups etc. that cannot be seen when I print a copy.
This seems like an obvious thing to want to do, but I cannot find out how to do it from any of the documentation (including video tutorials).

Something to try:
Create a Comment Summary report (a PDF file).
There are several approaches that can be used.
--| Work out of the Comment List (Comments > Comment View > Show Comments List or click the overlapped comment bubbles at the bottom of the Navigation panel)
--| Comments > Show Comments List
--| Comments > Summarize Comments
--| Comments > Print with Comments Summary
In the Summarize Options dialog, select the desired layout, paper size, how comments are to be sorted and font size.
Select Include All comments. If you want to sort by review status, author, comment type, etc then go into the Comments List.
The tool bar provides various means of configuration.
When the Print dialog is present, under the "Properties" button (upper right), use the drop-down menu for 'Comments and Forms' to select "Document and Markups".
The imprint on the paper will have the PDF page content and annotations (comments) provided in the PDF by use of the Text Edit tools.
So, you can provide the text entered into a Text Edit's pop-up two ways.
First - You have the PDF of the Comments Summary Report.
Second - You have the hardcopy of this PDF.
Of note is that, with Adobe's Tech Comm Suite, you can author in FrameMaker or MS Word, output a PDF for comments and review, then bring these comments back into the source authoring file.
Be well...

I have newer pdf files that show the 1st page of the document as the icon instead of just the logo.

Is there a way to save the other pdf files so they also show the 1st page of the document?

Compress it as a zip file and add the zip file to the mail as an enclosure.
In the Finder control (right) click on the pdf file to bring up the Finder's contextual menu and select Compress. A .zip file will be created in the same directory as the pdf file. Then add that zip to your mail message. The receiver will of course have to expand the zip on his or here end. But zip is fairly general and woks on both macs and windows.

Acrobat 8 Pro fails to Save As or Create PDF or otherwise save new PDFs

I am running 8.1.2 on a MacBook Pro with 10.5.4 and the whole Master Collection installed.
So, here's what's going on: If I open a PDF in Acrobat and make changes to it, I can save it, but I cannot "Save As." It will go through the normal routine of naming and locating the file, but then it will just gray out all the menus and prevent me from closing the document or doing anything else.
It does the same thing if I Create PDF, or if I attempt to scan something and save it as a PDF.
Basically, saving a NEW PDF file from Acrobat fails. I have been working around it by creating a dummy file and naming any new file the same thing, which it will overwrite.
Anyone have a clue on this? I've tried reinstalling Acrobat, but it hasn't helped.

I have installed Photoshop Elements 6. When I attempt to start the program(in windows XP). It attempts to start(hour glass appears), then nothing happens. The FAQ has this issue and says it is associated with a Licensing service problem and links you to a patch. However the patch is for Vista only. I'm running XP any solutions?

Why can't I type in my new word doc that I changed from PDF?

I need help! I can't type in my word doc that I converted from PDF.

You may have visited a website that has disabled the location bar.<br />
Try to open a new window to see if that gives you a working location bar.<br />
If that works then close the not working window and close and restart Firefox to see if that stays.<br />

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
- Windows XP Pro, SP2
- Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
- RoboHelp X5, 5.0.2 Build 801
- HTML (.chm) help project files exist on my local machine
- HTML (.chm) help file is run from my local machine
- Project is under RoboSource version control
TEMPORARY INTERNET SETTINGS
- “Check for newer versions of stored pages” is
set to “Automatically”
- “Current location” for the Temporary Internet
files folder is set to “C:\Documents and Settings\My
Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\”
- “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
“594” MB
“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”
Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:
- “Microsoft Office Template and Media Control”
(Last Accessed 12/13/06) (Version 12,0,6024,0)
- “Shockwave ActiveX Control” (Last Accessed
12/14/06) (Version 10,1,4,20)
- “Shockwave Flash Object” (Last Accessed
12/18/06) (Version 9,0,28,0)
- “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool”

- “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
(Version 5,8,0,2469)
Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.

How can I email a doc thats saved in the cloud from my phone?

I dont't have access to my macbook (running mountain lion/latest iwork) and need to email a pages doc that's saved in iCloud. I have my iPhone (running ios5) so wondered how can I attach said document to an email and send it from the phone?
Do I need iwork on my phone as well? I hope not becasue I've already bought iwork for the laptop and feel it's a bit rough to have to pay for a mobile version as well.
I've looked for an attach button on creating a new email on my phone hoping there'd be a link to iCloud documents but cannot see one.
Any help would be appreciated

I don't know of a way to do that without Pages on your iPhone, but it is trivial to do from within Pages. Due to the iCloud sandboxing model, such things are done by pushing data out from the source app, not pulling from the destination app (Mail in this case).
You might also find it handy to be able to make minor changes to your Pages documents on the iPhone. It's better on an iPad, of course, with more screen, but it's not too difficult on an iPhone.

Twice Pages has lost important docs that were saved. The other day I had a very important document that I worked on for three days, saved at least six times and yesterday it disappeared. There is no trace even via a date recovery software programme. Help!

I have twice lost really imptnt docs on Pages. Yesterday's doc had been saved at least six times over the three days of working on it, then yesterday it disappeared. I used disk drill to recover and it found lots of pages docs but not a trace of my multiply-saved document. How could that happen - and twice! The first time it was my novel and disk drill found it. This time it is a philosophy book, a new opening of around six pages, and there is just no trace. Time is short to avoid overwriting - does anyone have any ace ideas? Kind Regards

What details would be most helpful? (see below)
Version 4.3
Save as was not offered only save - I assume as Pages, as I wasn't exporting eg as Word
Saving to documents.
Drive checked by Disk Drill
Novel: not the problem at the moment as that was recovered last time. I don't really understand the question otherwise - Pages is a wp prog, why not write a novel in it. I didn't do it for DTP, just as a doc.
Disk Drill hasn't found the doc that is still under pages-docs - which has the same title as the lost doc - but is only less than a page whereas the lost doc is about 6 pages. Pages still saved the longer doc numerous times despite having the same title as the shorter one. The last time I left the macbook on sleep and awoke it while trying a dongle in a shop. The doc came up on the screen and so I tried to minimise it - that menu came down (which always annoys me) that asks if I want save this new doc on i-cloud. As it is never a new doc and I don't want to save what doesn't exist on i-cloud I pressed delete - which usually leaves the existing document as saved. But this time when I got home and tried to open it - it had disappeared. The short doc is still there, but neither that nor the longer missing version has been found by Disk Drill - unlike last time with the novel when it did find the missing doc.
I hope that is the detail that is helpful

Please help: Linking from PDF to other PDF's that open in a new window... but NOT in full screen mode!?

Hi All,
I have a project where a PDF is viewed in full screen mode when opened, from within this I wish to link to a variety of other PDF's.
Creating the links is simple, however I can not work out how to control the new window so that the new PDF opens with the toolbars and menus, ie not in full screen mode.
Any help would be apreciated, google is not my friend on this one.
LB.

Hi Thanks for the response.
I thought I had, but what seemed to be happening was that the Linked PDF was
adopting the full screen property of the original PDF. I'll give it another
go and let you know.

you want? Go File>Properties>Initial View.
