Split a long PDF form programmatically into smaller PDF forms

You can programmatically split forms using LC Assembler service and use the DDX. You could extract page1 from pdf1 and create a pdf, then page2 of pdf1 into a different PDF using something similar to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<PDF result="Final.pdf">
     <PDF source="PDF1.pdf" pages="1"/>
</PDF>
<PDF result="Final2.pdf">
      <PDF source="PDF1.pdf" pages="2"/>
</PDF>
</DDX>
To split according to Level 1 bookmarks, you can also use the PDFFromBookmarks tag.
For example,
<PDFsFromBookmarks prefix="stmt">
     <PDF source="doc1.pdf"/>
</PDFsFromBookmarks>
More info is available in the Assembler Service and DDX Reference available at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/ddxRef.pdf.

Sorry, but making single PDF from many smartforms is not what I want to achieve. I wold like to know how to get one PDF document made by ALC-forms.
In my example I have many PDF documents. So, how to get (or put) them all in one PDF?
ps: the way to get one PDF from smartforms is also here:

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
Any more clues?

HT201066 How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?

Hi,
How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?
With Windows I was using Nero software, which is not available for Mac. Is there any similar app for free for Mac?
Thanks!

Hello ingiorgio
You can import the track into GarageBand and then split the tracks there. Once that it is done you can highlight the ruler section and then share the song to iTunes to get them separated out.

Hi pissedadobeuser,
Does this issue occur with any particular web page?
Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.
Which Browser version, OS version and Acrobat version are you using?

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

Fill data into a form programmatically and print the form afterwards

Folks,
until recently a lab assistant took measurements and filled the data into a paper form (see attached pdf). Now we are building a test stand that does the measurement semiautomatically. The software of the test stand will be programmed in LabVIEW, of course. The test stand shall generate a printed protocol very similar to the attached pdf in future as well.
What's the best way to fill the acquired data into the form and to print the form afterwards? The form can be read by our code in either pdf or html. There is no Microsoft Office installed on the computer.
Modifying the html code? Converting the pdf to a picture and fill the data into the picture? Any hint will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Hmmm... must have misunderstood what you were saying.
XSL is a language that allows you to generate an HTML document. The XSL basically defines the style, and the XML specifies the data. HTML is the combination. You can find out more here.
Unfortunately, since you don't have Office, you won't be able to use the ActiveX interface to control Word, so that's out.
With the template in HTML format you could use the DOM for an HTML file to set the value of the HTML elements. The easiest way to do this is to use IE (I'm assuming you're on Windows here) to open the HTML template and then you can use the DOM from there. As for how feasible this is, it would depend on your HTML format. Can you post the template in HTML format?
With the template in PDF format I know that some PDF files that are forms can be generated in such a way that they still act like forms when you open them in, say, Acrobat Reader. Acrobat has an ActiveX interface so you should be able to programmatically do this, but I can't say for sure. You can check the Adobe site for more info. You just need to make sure it doesn't require the full version of Acrobat.

How to create a multiple PDF-form outputs into one PDF?

Hi,
I`d like to create a PDF document with a few pages in it, build from different PDF-forms using many form-function calls. Where each PDF-form can use its own interface.
I`ve made a simple programme, but as the result I have a few separated documents with scrolling tab instead of one document with all pages in it.
What am I doing wrong?

Merge form responses into single pdf

I have 30 form responses and would like to combine them into a single pdf. When I use the Merge Files Into Single PDF feature, the forms are combined into a single pdf, but the first form is duplicated 30 times. In other words, the form fields on the other 29 forms are replaced with the data from the first form. Can multiple form responses be combined into a singe pdf and the data be retained for each form?

It is a bit late but I recently came across the same issue with combining mutliple PDF forms for which form fields have identical names. For example 100 people fill out the same PDF form and you need to combine them into one.
I beleive you need to have Acrobat Pro
1. File > Export > Export Multiple (This brings a dialog up where you can drag and drop a group of files.)
2. Click OK
3. Select EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
4. Click OK (Now you have .eps files of each PDF)
5. Advanced > Print Production > Acrobat Distiller
6. Select Standard
7. Drag all the EPS files into Distiller
PS - If anyone has a better solution please let me know!

How do I break a pdf into smaller pdf files using Pro?

How do I make a smaller pdf (i.e. pgs 17-22) from a larger pdf file using Adobe Acrobat Pro?

It would help if you told us what version of Acrobat Pro you have. (The interface changed substantially in Acrobat X Pro.)
If you're using Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat 8 Professional, choose Document > Extract Pages.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the response, this is actually an adobe form that has been saved as an adobe dynamic XML pdf. Is there a way to do this in a form via code?
What I would like to do is attach a supporting document to the form and Print both the form and the supporting document with a simple click, is this possible?
Any help or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Todd

Can a PDF be "embedded" into another PDF, and still be its own layer?

HI. I work with a software company that manipulate PDFs files, placing PDFs into other PDFs resulting in a combined file.
what my question is, is the finished combined PDF file simply 1 big PDFs full of individual elements, or are the elements still relating to their own virtual pdf within the combined PDFs?
MY feeling is the combined PDFs is simply a big fish tank full of fish, and if another fish tank was to be emptied into it, it all merges into one. At least that is the way I see it. all fish a simply a part of the overall fish tank!
i Ask this as "a colleague" is telling clients otherwise and I would like to correct him.
oh, we use itext as the tool to manipulate pdfs.
cheers

Thanks for the reply. I understand my wording was misleading.
What we are doing is taking a single page base PDF file, containing 10 elements for example, and using our own software (with help from iText) adding other page elements on the same page. Most of the time these elements are just text, or the odd image, but sometimes, we may be placing a PDF Logo on the same page. The resulting PDF seems to be a single page, containing 10+ elements of equal hierarchy, with no reference to the source PDF file that was used for the logo. Also looking at the Layers panel, There is no information here.
Are you saying then that there may be references to some of the elements based on the source PDF file?
Cheers

How To Split Large Excel or CSV Files into Smaller Files

Does anyone know how to split a large Excel or CSV file into multiple smaller files? Or, is there an app that will work with Mac to do that?

split [-a suffix_length] [-b byte_count[k|m]] [-l line_count] [-p pattern] [file [name]]
is a native Terminal command. Read up more on https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/split.1.html
I prefer to use gSplit which is gnu coreutils.
You can install gnu coreutils using homebrew.

How do I divide a long h.264 .mp4 into smaller movies?

I have 2.5 hrs of .mp4 movie in h.264 format that I would like to divide into 1/2 hr units.
1. I find it very difficult to get my crops accurate in QT.
2. When I save it it saves a .mov, just changing the file type to .mp4 in Finder renders it unreadable
3. Exporting to mpeg4, which I presume will create an .mp4 file, takes forever
There has to be a better way surely.
Can anyone help? Much appreciated.

Use the Movie Inspector window and some keyboard shortcuts to get accurate "cuts". The left/right arrow keys move one frame at a time. Hold down the Shift key as you tap the arrow keys to expand or reduce your selection. Letter i and o keys set in and out points to make a selection.
Once you have your selection use Command-C (copy), open a new (empty) Player window and Command-V (paste). Save As to make a new file.
Switch back to your longer file. If you no longer need your current selection simply hit the delete key. Repeat the steps above until your made all your "parts".
When you get to your final selection and just Save As to make a new file. Close the older window and make sure not to save "changes" when you close the window. This will leave your original file untouched by these edits.
These new files will be identical to your source but will be in a .mov container. No need to edit the file extension or export again.

Insert PDF with Flash into another PDF and it does not display.

When attempting to insert an Adobe Acrobat file with flash elements into another Adobe Acrobat file, the latter will not display the file on screen. Instead it shows this message "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later." Please help.

Yes I would have thought so. Adobe Acrobat and Reader have the ability to view flash content items however this is not the case. I will explain step by step what I am doing. I have done this for years before and I have recently formatted my computer and had to reinstall the software.
Here is a little background information:
System:
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
AMD-FX 4100 Quad Core CPU
8GB RAM
250GB free on HDD
Software Installed:
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
Adobe Reader XI
Adobe Flash 17.0.0.134
Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010
Steps taken:
Open Outlook
Select a few messages
Click on Convert to Adobe PDF
Save the new file "toInsert.pdf"
Open "main.pdf" file
Click and drag "toInsert.pdf" file from desktop into the thumbnail area of the "main.pdf" file to insert.
Attached Error. Please advise. Thank you.
