Seperate PDF file into seperate sections?

I need to see if anyone has taken a multi page pdf, and seperated it into individual files?  Example have 1000 page pdf it is a Construction Specification book.  I need it seperated into each section as a single file, ie section 1, section 2, section 3, etc as files?

So that option works, but you have to do it multiple times to get the result you're looking for. For a solution that would work in a single step, there has to be some way of knowing where one section ends and another begins. Do you have an idea how that can be done? For example, is each section a fixed number of pages (e.g., 100 pages/section), or do you have bookmarks linked to the beginning of each section? If so, you might want to try "Document > Split Document". Otherwise, a solution may require a script.

  • Script for Place PDF file into a InDesign file

    Hi everyone, i need to import a PDF file into a InDesign document and in order to do this i used scripts found over  the net (e.g. Zanelli's script ecc.) but i tried this solution:
    function(){
        app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;
        var myDocument, myPage;
        if(app.documents.length != 0){
            myDocument = app.activeDocument;
        else{
            alert("No document opened");
            exit();
         if (app.selection[0] == undefined) {
            alert("Select box");
            exit();
         } else {
                var myPDFFile = File.openDialog("Select PDF:");
                if((myPDFFile != "")&&(myPDFFile != null)){
                    myDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.PAGE_ORIGIN;
                    myDocument.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS;
                    myDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS;   
                    var myData = new Array;
                    myData[0] = app.selection[0].parentPage;
                    myData[1] = app.selection[0].geometricBounds;
                    myData[2] = app.selection[0];
                    myPlacePDF(myDocument, myData, myPDFFile);
        //FUNCTIONS
        function myPlacePDF(myDocument, myData, myPDFFile){
            var myPDFPage;
            var myPage = myData[0];
            var myGeometricBounds = myData[1].toString().split(",");
            app.pdfPlacePreferences.pdfCrop = PDFCrop.cropMedia;
            var myCounter = 1;
            var myBreak = false;
            while(myBreak == false){
                if(myCounter > 1){
                    myPage = myDocument.pages.add(LocationOptions.after, myPage);
                 app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = myCounter;
                 myRectangle = myPage.rectangles.add(undefined, undefined, undefined, {geometricBounds:[myGeometricBounds[0],myGeometricBounds[1],myGeometricBounds[2],myGeometricBounds[3]]});
                 myRectangle.clearFrameFittingOptions();  
                 myRectangle.frameFittingOptions.fittingOnEmptyFrame = EmptyFrameFittingOptions.PROPORTIONALLY;
                 myRectangle.frameFittingOptions.autoFit = true;
                 myRectangle.frameFittingOptions.fittingAlignment = AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR;
                 myPDFPage = myRectangle.place(File(myPDFFile), false)[0];           
                 if(myCounter == 1){
                    var myFirstPage = myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber;
                else{
                    if(myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber == myFirstPage){
                        myPage.remove();
                        myBreak = true;
                myCounter = myCounter + 1;
             myData[2].remove();  
    what i would is, before the script place every single page of PDF file in the document, determine if the same page of the Pdf file is vertical or horizontal, to make the right section for the page.
    Is it possible?
    Thank you

  • Embedding several PDF files into one using bookmarks

    Hello, everyone.
    My concern is about embedding some PDF files wherein there are bookmarks for each file to navigate through their chapters, sections, etc. using any PDF Viewer.
    I want to embed these PDF files into an overall document which creates bookmarks to navigate through the embedded PDF files preserving the internal bookmarks of every PDF file.
    Minimal bookmarks example:
    File A
    File B
    Chapter 1
    Section 1Figure of file A
    Section 2
    Prologue
    Chapter 1
    Section 1Figure of file B
    Section 2
    Prologue
    Overall document
    File A
    Chapter 1
    Section 1Figure of file A
    Section 2
    Prologue
    File B
    Chapter 1
    Section 1Figure of file B
    Section 2
    Prologue
    Which I am almost sure it can be done with Adobe® Acrobat but I do not know how to do it and I still do not manage to get it by myself. I would not prefer to do it by joining PDF files without bookmarks and recreate them because I have files with more than one hundred sections and chapters, it would be really troublesome besides I have not enough time to devote on it.
    Thank you in advance to everyone.

    Use Acrobat's Combine files feature (available in Acrobat XI Standard and Pro).
    Be well...

  • Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

    Hey
    I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
    MY WISH -
    Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
    I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
    This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
    I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

    Somewhat roundabout way but this should work:

    As TSN has indicated we have no idea what program you are using, other than you posted in the Acrobat forum. In Acrobat you go to File > Create > Combine (varies with version of Acrobat). You can also open one and then use the pages>Insert to add the others.

  • How do I covert a pdf file into a Power point presentation using Formcentral?

    I bought this program in order to convert large pdf files into powerpoint presentations, using 1 page in the pdf to eqaul 1 slide. However, upon buying said software I quickly figured out that it would not let me do anything of such kind. It won't even let me import my pdf files! What am I doing wrong?  Thanks! - John

    FormsCentral is all about forms. You should have purchased the CreatePDF service (www.adobe.com/createpdf)
    You can call up support and cancel your subscription, then purchase the other product.

  • How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

    How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

    I use PrimoPDF (free download) to create pdf files. To merge two docs/pdfs/etc., print the first to a new pdf using Primo. Close it, then print the second and save it to the same new pdf. Primo gives you the option to 'append' or 'overwrite' the original file. By using 'append', you are just adding it to the back of the existing file. You can do this repeatedly to resort or combine existing pages into a new pdf.
    Also, I'm using Adobe Reader X.

  • How do i combine multiple pdf file into a single pdf file?

    how do i combine multiple pdf files into a single pdf file?

    The thread was started in early March and it's Mid-April, I know this very well. The OP of this thread posted a very common and simple question or maybe he/she would have resolved this. For an Adobe Acrobat user it's not at all difficult to combine multiple PDF files into one. But to combine PDF files full version of Adobe Acrobat is mainly required, otherwise PDF files can't be combined. For example, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. These simple steps are mainly required to combine PDF files:
    Open Adobe Acrobat.
    Click on Combine and click on Merge files into a single PDF.
    A window will be appearing, click on Add Files and select the PDF files you want to combine.
    Arrange the selected files in any order with the help of Move Up and Move Down button.
    Now click on Combine File and the selected PDF files will be combined within a few seconds.
    A new PDF file will be created. Click on Save As and name this new PDF file. Then, click on Save.
    A new PDF file will be created and all the selected PDF files are combined in it. The steps shown above might be different in other versions of Adobe Acrobat. Other than this, some third-party PDF merge software are also available. Most of them are available with a demo version for free evaluation. I've heard much about SysInfoTools PDF Merge software on other forums and directories and it's demo version is freely available. One may check its demo version if Adobe Acrobat (full version) is not available.

    Best regards

    Look at the doc.saveAs JavaScript method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
    You can save to other formats when you include the corresponding cConvID parameter. It can be used in a batch sequence, but you'll need the Pro version for that.
