Used to be able to create a multipage PDF in Preview
What magic wand do I need to take 3 JPEGS and put them into a Preview document and save it as a single PDF with 3 pages? This used to be real easy in Preview but now I don't have a clue how to do it.
Thanks!
Scot
From Preview Help:
Move a page from one PDF document to another
Open both PDF documents.
For each document window, click the Thumbnails or Contact Sheet button, in the View control in the toolbar.
Drag each page’s thumbnail image from its original document to the other document.A rectangle encloses the other document’s thumbnails when you drag over them. If you don’t see a rectangle, the pages won’t be included in the PDF file, but they do appear in the other document’s window.
The page remains in the original document and is copied to the other document.
I didn't try the procedure, so I hope it works for you.

Creating a multipage pdf in photoshop CS4
I've just upgraded from CS1 to CS4, and previously you could create a multipage PDF easily under the File>Automate menu. So how do you do that in CS4? The feature has been moved somewhere. I dont want two seperate A4's I want to learn how to create one document consisting of 2 pages.
Thanks
ACI most certainly would like to see the output to multi-page pdf feature re-included back into the file menu. For generic brochure type jobs, through to concept art presentations, and (Game) design documents, I really appreciated having that feature. It worked. Smooth.
Bridge on the other hand, is shovelware. It lasts 3-4 seconds before locking up indefinately, and its a product of Adobe's ability to make fancy applications that dont really do anything useful, its NOT my workflow, and nor do I want it to be. I don't see the point in starting up another application, to do something that was always done well, from 2 maybe 3 clicks in the file menu.
I really dont expect to swallow the cost of upgrades to find that I've had essential tools removed, and substituted for the joke that is "Bridge".
Isn't this obvious? If its not broken don't fix it.

Prior to upgrading to 9.5, I used to be able to open several different PDF's in one Adobe Reader. Each document would have it's own tab across the toolbar. Now I don't have that open. Instead, I have multiple Adobe Readers open at the bottom of my screen. Any suggestions on how to change that? Thanks!
Not possible with the actual versions of Adobe Reader.

Question
I used to be able to click on a .PDF document and read it directly within Firefox ... since the latest upgrade, that feature doesn't seem to work ... now, I have to download the document and read it locally ... any fixes ???Go to Options>Applications>click on, in your case, Adobe Acrobat entries and select "Use Adobe Acrobat(in Firefox)" or as you wish.

Used to be able to create a new event in iMovie. Unable to do so with 10.0.1 version
I used to be able to click the video camera icon in iMovie to start filming with the front camera on my Macbook. Now that I have updated to iMovie 10.0.1 I cannot seem to do this. Is this possible and if so how do I do this?
Choose import (the large arrow pointin9 downwards in the menubar of the iMovie window). From the pop-up window that appears choose Facetime (Left column at the top "Camera's")

Creating a multipage PDF that prints 2 booklets side by side?
Hi I am a designer with NO pre-press experience and I need some help!
I am trying to print a booklet that is set at 8.5 x 7 as a 2 up document on 8.5 x14 paper. My problem is that I don't want the booklets to print consecutive pages (right now they would print 1,2 3,4 5,6 etc.) I want them to print side by side so that when the sheets are cut we would have 2 completed and collated books.
I know that I could just duplicate each page and print that, but I am wondering if there is a quicker way to make this happen? We have over 100 different multipage PDFs to print so I'm looking for a lean way to get this done.
Is this possible? Do I need to purchase pagination software?When I need to do this I generally make a file set up as a single page (8.5 x 7, in this case) for easy design, then create a second, non-facing doc at two-up size (8.5 x 14) and place the pages from the first file int the second tow times so I have two copies per page. I use the Multi-page importer script for this: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files

CreateSparseDisk error using Convert-WindowsImage.ps1 to create VHD for Windows 10 Preview
I have been trying to use convert-windowsimage.ps1 to create a Windows 10 .VHD under Windows 8.1 (inside VirtualBox)
.\convert-windowsimage.ps1 -Sourcepath .\install.wim -Edition Professional -VHDFormat VHD -DiskType Fixed -SizeBytes 40GB -VHDPath .\Win10Previewx64.vhd
This returns:
ERROR : Exception calling "CreateFixedDisk" with "4" argument(s): "The parameter is incorrect"
I get a similar error if I accept the default to create a sparse disk and the default SizeBytes value.
I did notice when typing the command in the ISE that most of the parameter values turn purple, but with SizeBytes 40GB changes back to cream when you add the B of GB - I'm not sure if this is relevant. The code does appear to expect GB TB or KB.Post questions about scripts to the author here:

Used to be ablert to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one printer and now I can only print the current page and therefore it takes forever printing them one by one. I am in version 10.6.8. Tried printing as image using the advanced click and that did not work either. I have Adobe 9.0 reader installed.
I tried this earlier, and I tried it again today. Both times it said "Software Missing!" and "HP Software required to connect to your printer over the network could not be found on this computer." But when I tried to install the software (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe, which I downloaded from HP's web site), it wouldn't install, as described above. In the diagnostic utility, I clicked "skip", and it said "Connection Verified!", and "The printer is connected to the network and the services related to the network connections have been verified and reset to a normal operating state. Everything appears to work fine at this point. Please doa test print to verify that the issue is resolved or click Skip to move to the next step." I clickedthe "Test Print" button, and immediately it popped up a box that said "Test Print Failed."
I tried again to install the HP software, and it installed, detected the printer, and asked me to select it. I selected the printer, clicked "next", and it did its network diagnostics. Then it said "Problem(s) found with your network" and "Problem(s) may exist with the network functions of your printer . . ." I continued the installation without connecting to the printer. Then I ran your network printer diagnostic tool again, and got the same result - "HP Software required to connect to youir printer over the network could not be found on this computer." -

How to create a multipage PDF with same template but dynamically varying data?
Hello,
I need to create a multi-page PDF where I need to use the same template but dynamically varying data.
Eg Scenario:
1. I have data for 5 material in my ABAP program.
2. I have a PDF template in SFP which has a 2 page structure.
3. Based on the number of materials (5 in this case), I need to generate a PDF which will have 10 pages (2 for each material).
4. the generated PDF should be like the one shown below:
e.g. MATERIAL_PDF (pdf name)
| Page1(Mat1[View1].data)
| Page2(Mat1[View2].data)
| Page3(Mat2[View1].data)
| Page4(Mat2[View2].data)
| Page5(Mat3[View1].data)
| Page6(Mat3[View2].data)
.. and so on...
Thanks,
AniketIsn't it just by setting the two pages into a form ( like an subform in the content ) and put the settings in a proper way?
There is this setting, that the masterpage comes up everytime the pagecount is done.
Example
Page 1 3 5 --> Masterpage 1
Page 2 4 6 --> Masterpage 2
And the designview with the flowing data, you can do it by scripting to get to the next page after the pos is finished.
Unfortunaly I do not got a system atm, so I hope the explaination give you a clue, where to search.
Regards

Not able to create an event in month view of iCal?
I used to be able to create an event from the month vien of iCal, and it doesn't work anymore. Anyone knows how to fix this?
ThanksSo sorry to not have a solution but I wanted to chime in and say "me, too!". Not only create an event, but I can't edit it in month view, either. I thought it was my entire iCal program, since I just upgraded to Lion today, but after reading your post I realize I can edit events in week mode, just not month mode.

Not able to create interactive pdf

first get name of the generated function module

Can anyone help or suggest something ?
Thank you in advance,
Nuno SantosHi,
The default export parameter is /1bcdwb/formoutput of type
fpformoutput. This parameter has to be evaluated in the calling program if the
resulting document needs to be handled by the program itself. Export parameters
can be added only for those interfaces that are compatible with Smart Forms.
There is also only one standard exporting parameter of the form's generated
function module: /1bcdwb/formoutput of type fpformoutput. It contains three
fields:
. pdf: Contains the PDF data in hexadecimal form if parameter getpdf of
function module FP_JOB_OPEN is set to 'X'. This is required if your
program has a download functionality or if you want to pass on your PDF to
Business Communication Service to fax or e-mail it.
Detail information on Business Communication Service can be found in the
SAP Library, Topic .Generic Business Tools for Application Developers
(BC-SRV-GBT).. See also standard demo reports BCS_EXAMPLE_...
. pdl: contains the PDL data in hexadecimal form if parameter getpdl of
function module FP_JOB_OPEN is set to 'X'.
. pages: returns the number of pages that have been printed.

Hope this will be helpfull.
