Sound overlay in multi-page pdf possible?

Hi together,
i didn’t find an answer for my following question in the forum yet, so here my question:
How can i put sound overlay in my multi-page presentation? I would like to get the music started when opening the pdf, playing still on when turning the pages in my document. At the moment i can place a audiofile at a page, but turning the page stops audio (logic...)
My workflow: Layout in Indesign CS4/5 (photos, videos, text) > export pdf > Acrobat > Multimedia, audio (to place a sound).
Thanks for any help, Thomas

From my experimentation, "Disable when: 'Disable Content' is selected from the context menu" does not work when you turn the page. The music stops immediately when you turn the page if the sound is not visible.
However, choosing the property "Playback style: Play in Floating window" does work. Then make the floating window small. Like 5 pixels by 5 pixels.

Is it possible to automatically convert a website into a multi-page pdf?

I have a weblog that has reached the end of it's life, so the site is coming down. Before I do, however, I need to create a permanent record and a single multi-page pdf file would be perfect.
I know I can do this with Acrobat Professional, but I am hoping there is an automatic way to export the html pages into a single pdf file without doing each page one-by-one manually.
If anyone knows how to perform this task, please let me know.
Thanks!

What version of Acrobat do you have? In Acrobat 9 you'd select:
File > Create PDF > From Web Page
or
Advanced > Web Capture > Create PDF From/Append Web Page
There are various options that affect the result, including the number of levels to capture, page layout, how multimedia is handled, etc. Acrobat 11 is more advanced and will likely give the best results.

Unable to mark the box 'create Multi-page PDF from page tiles' when saving to pdf-file

I am running Illustrator CS3 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
I want to print a very large illustrator-file (1000 mm x 900 mm) across mutliple pages of A4-paper (5 x 5 sheets of A4-paper) by saving the file as a multi-page pdf file.
I first followed the instructions provided here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-mutli-page-pdf-illustrator.html
When I then tried to save the file: -> File -> Save as -> 'choose .pdf from drop-down menu'
I get to this menu:
I am unable to mark the box that says: 'Create multi-page pdf from page tiles'. I have made a red arrow pointing to the box I want to mark.
I have tried changing the other drop-down menus inside this menu, to see if the box I want to mark could become available, but without any luck.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I would be grateful if anyone could help me set my settings right to allow me to create such a multi-page pdf-file.
Thanks in advance for your help

Your ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned.

Mail will NOT display a multi-page pdf file in the body.

I want to send an email with a multi-page PDF attached that is displayed in the email- so that readers don't even have to click on the pdf to open it. Can I do that? I can do a single page, and I did determine that if I save all the pages of the document as single pds and then attach those, that works, but is there a way to display a multi-page pdf? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I do not use pages - there are several possible solutions to your situation - in pages you should be able to do a send pdf to iPhoto and then in iPhoto you can create an e-mail with smaller (and harder to read) images- you may be able to produce smaller (lower quality) PDFs in pages (don't know), you can change e-mail servers - use a different one it you have multiple accounts or get a free gmail account or other new account that will handle your needs

Placing multi-page PDF's

Maybe this question has already been posted but I could,t find it, so:
You can place a pdf in keynote, but is possible to select another page than the first one from a multi-page pdf.
That would really simplify the proces of putting together a presentation...

Yes, I can imagine that some interface that would allow you to set different pages WITHIN the app would be cool. To place an image that you can change without changing it's connected attributes,
1) Drag in an image
2) Mask the image
3) Do Format -> Advanced -> Define Media Placeholder
Then, you can copy/paste the action from one slide to another and replace the image as you need to without having to re-set all the animation.
Finally, feedback for Keynote is here. http://www.apple.com/feedback/keynote.html

Using Windows Search for multiple, multi-page PDFs

I am scanning documents into a Windows folder (documents have been OCR'ed). An employee verifies that each document has a specific number that OCR picked up, if OCR did not, the user will use the 'Add or edit text box' under tools in Adobe Acrobat Professional XI to add the correct number. Multiple scans are handled this way and merged together to create documents that may be up to 2300 pages long (so far). Within that same Windows folder, there are other files with similarly handled information and numerous pages.
My problem is, if I am looking for a specific number that is within one of the PDF files within the Windows folder - I can find it if I open the file that contains the number and do a search. However, even though we are using a Windows index to be able to search from the Windows Search, the Windows Search will not always be able to find one of the indexed numbers. Does anyone know if there is a maximum size or number of pages a PDF can be for the Windows Search to be able to be used? Perhaps this is a question I should ask of Windows. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong with the PDFs or if the Windex index isn't working. Thoughts?

Something that may help -
With a multi-page PDF open in Acrobat Pro; select Document > Extract Pages
In the Extract Pages dialog you can select "Extract Pages As Separate Files".
This will provide you with a PDF file for each page of the source PDF file.
Additional options are also possible.

How to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file?

Hi!
We are trying to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file. We are using Adobe Acrobat Standard v 9. Can it be possible?

I am also looking for feedback. Although having a PDF copy of a document is wonderful, long term and efficient archival for my workplace is tif or tiff.
Very frustrating that the PDF to tiff creates a separate tiff file for each page of the multi-page PDF document. Are there any options or work-arounds?

Slow Illustrator Multi-Page PDF Export + Alternative Solutions

Hello everyone,
I have a recurring job that requires 50-60+ small illustrations be placed into a few different layouts. The workflow I have set up right now is as follows: All of the illustrations are drawn in one Illustrator file with multiple page tiles. This file is exported as a multi-page PDF and placed in InDesign layouts. One main problem with this system is that it takes a long time to export 60+ page tiles from Illustrator.
I'm totally open to any alternative workflow solutions or recommendations someone might suggest, but there are a few reasons why I've chosen the multi-page PDF approach. The Illustrations share global swatches and symbols and graphic styles and sometimes these items need to be tweaked. Editing everything in one file is faster than opening, changing, and saving 50-60 individual Illustrator files. My client often needs me to make alterations to the illustrations, and sometimes these Illustrations appear on more than one page and in different layouts. Using the one multi-page PDF helps everything stay nice and consistent across every layout and every page.
If anyone has any suggestions for how to speed up the Illustration export or alternative workflow recommendations, I'd love to discuss them.
Thanks!

As Scott said, the multiple artboards in CS4 are the most efficient way to do that and upgrading sure will help to streamline your workflow. Your problem is that each element needs to be stripped, possibly flattened and other data removed when creating the PDF and that can take its toll. The only other way to do it IMO would be some script that takes each layer of your doc and converts it to an individual AI file or PDF. It may just not have any advantage at all - scripts can be slow if a lot is goingon and it still would take time to save and convert the files.

Multi-page PDF to multiple single-page PDFs

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone out there knows a way, if you have a multi-page PDF, to export each individual page to it's own single-page PDF. Is there a way to do this in Acrobat?
Or is there a way in Microsoft Word using Adobe's PDF print driver, to print each page to it's own single-page PDF?
Ultimately I want to run a batch process on each PDF page in Illustrator, but for me to do that each page needs to be it's own PDF.
Thanks for any help!!!!

Getting Page Count for a Multi-Page PDF file using Illustrator script?

Does anyone know how to get the page count of a multi page PDF file? I know you can then open each page using the PDFFileOptions (pagetoopen). But I need to know up front how many pages there are to loop thru to open each page and process each page.
Any Ideas?

This script i did for photoshop:
OK so lets do it working on WIN and MAC without any shell script.
This solution is not the best but its working.
I used Try catch to solve it.
Only issue is that you should at least somehow know how many pages you expect in pdf.. this mean if you are working with books or flyers...
Then set the maxPagesCount to that number.
I am working with pdfs with max 20pages.. so i start open the 20 then 19 then 18 and when i am success i know the amount of pages.
Its not the quicker way but its usable.
var maxPagesCount = 20;
var actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
var opts1 = new PDFOpenOptions();
opts1.usePageNumber = true;
opts1.antiAlias = true;
opts1.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
opts1.resolution = 10; //it will load faster the test page
opts1.suppressWarnings = true;
opts1.cropPage = CropToType.MEDIABOX;
myFunction = function () {
try {
      app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
      var fileList = openDialog();
      for (i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
        actPagesCount = maxPagesCount;
        getPagesCount(fileList[i],maxPagesCount);
        alert(actPagesCount);
} catch (exception) {
    alert(exception);
getPagesCount = function (checkFile, lastPageID) {
try {
    for (var checkPage = lastPageID; checkPage > 0; checkPage--) {
      opts1.page = checkPage;
      var docRef = open(checkFile, opts1, false);
      docRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
      actPagesCount = lastPageID;
      return;
      checkPage=0;
} catch (exception) {
    // Look for next page
    checkPage--;
    getPagesCount(checkFile,checkPage);

Creating Multi-Page PDF from a Layerd Illustrator file (script)

Often times when designing a logo I create different versions and variable options on layers. This can result in several layers in one Illustrator file. Is there an easy way or an existing script that will allow me to (with one click) create a multi-page PDF consisting of all the layers within my .ai file? The current method is turning on each layer, performing a save-as (PDF), then turning off said layer and turning on the next layer and repeating the task and so-on-and-so-forth, etc … It becomes tedious and quite often I save over the previous version, forgetting to re-name it or forget to perform a save on a certain layer. Can anyone help with some advice? I have never written my own script before but am not opposed to trying, where do I begin?
Any help is appreciated.

You don't say what OS you are using and which scripting language you are thinking of doing this in…
This is a sample that may get you started done in JavaScript so it's platform independent with the exception of my 'mac style' file paths.
If your on a PC it may just be a typo to set to C drive or whatever you call them things…
If you are on the mac OS then it should just dump a load of PDF's on your desktop.
You say about a multi-page PDF but don't think Illustrator can do this unless its been added with multi-artboards in CS4?
Others would have to let you know that…
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
var docName = baseName(name)
var pdfOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
pdfOptions.pDFPreset = '[High Quality Print]';
// Turn all layers off
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
layers[i].visible = false;
// Turn each layer on
for (var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++) {
if (i == 0) {
layers[i].visible = true;
redraw();
var layerName = layers[i].name;
var saveAsPath = new File('~/Desktop/' + docName + '_' + layerName + '.pdf')
saveAs(saveAsPath, pdfOptions);
} else {
layers[i-1].visible = false;
layers[i].visible = true;
redraw();
var layerName = layers[i].name;
var saveAsPath = new File('~/Desktop/' + docName + '_' + layerName + '.pdf')
saveAs(saveAsPath, pdfOptions);
//close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
function baseName(fileName) {
var nameString = '';
var extOffset = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
if (extOffset == -1) {
nameString = fileName;
} else {
nameString = fileName.substr(0, extOffset);
return nameString;

How can you create a multi-page pdf document in photoshop elements 13?

I previously had pse 11 and was able to create multi-page documents as pse files. However, pse 13 does not allow. How can I create multi-page pdf files from pse 13?

Alas, for one of those mysterious adobe reasons, it's gone in recent versions. Only multipage file you can make is a photobook.

Photoshop CS5 pdf size fine - Bridge Multi page pdf size not fine

I know it must be asked a thousand times but here goes:
PDFs saved by photoshop display the true document size (let's say 70cm width on 72ppi)
When I try to create multi page pdfs fro bridge (thanks Adobe!), no matter how many ways I try to set it up, the image always is small in the center of a white background. Always.
What gives?

Hi,
1. Why dont u try it in pdf itself?
U can just crop the required area in pdf file using crop tool so it can be applied for all the pages at a time.
2. If u trying to remove particular area on a pdf u can place a white box on that area using pitstop tool it can be saved as actionlist like batch processing and applied for any number of pages and files.
Making this in pdf itself won't get u more file size. Size will be as equal as ur source file.

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, aren't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, isn't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?

Figured it out. It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat. Here's the fix:
Open Finder/Applications
Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
Quit Safari
Launch Safari
Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.
