Word 2008 doc saves into multiple docs instead of one PDF

I have installed Acrobat 9 Pro and am trying to print a Word 2008 doc to a PDF. Instead of creating and saving as one document it splits it into several whenever the page set up changes from profile to landsacape or vice versa. This happens whether I use the PDF print button or the Adobe Printer option. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers.

I am afraid to break the news to you, this has been an on going problem with Acrobat converting Word File to PDF.  Its been a problem from the get go. Adobe says, its Microsoft's Problem. Microsoft says its Adobe Problem, they both blame Apple. Problem, is Apple licenses the PDF subsystem used OSX since day one from Adobe; and, the problem existed in OS9 which didn't use PDF as the the underlying print/display engine, which tends to point the finger to Adobe. Another thing point to its adobe's problem, is that Microsoft has been waiting patiently for adobe to fix the problem since day one about 10-15 years, So they desided in Office 2008 to use their own built in Converter for PDF. This reduces the problem of breaking the pdf up only if you have a shift orientation.  The problem lies in Adobe either doesn't know how or can't figure out how, or doesn't want to be bothered with finding out  how microsoft Page and Section breaks work. They are unique to Microsoft.
The cure is to either use Word 2008's Save as... Command then choose PDF.  In which case unless you have a chart or something that should be in Landscape mode, will make a complete PDF.
Or to take the pieces that are created by Acrobat/Distiller AdobePDF Print Drive and doe the following:
Open the first part, scroll to end
Then go to Edit menu and choose Edit menu  > Insert Pages
Locate second part and choose okay or insert.
repeat 1-3 with next section
Continue doing this until all the pieces are together.
There is no way around this problem other than not using page and section breaks and not using charts or items that require viewing in Landscape orientation. Which may or may not be realistic.
If you must use items in landscape mode my suggestion would be create them separately and, then when printing, print them speparately one copy, then place the chart where you want and use a Copy machine to make the copies in the right order.  Or use my direction above to insert them in proper place.

  • When importing songs from a cd into itunes, the songs get separated into multiple albums instead of one.  How do I fix this problem?

    I recently tried to import a cd that I got into itunes.  When it imported, instead of being one album by one artist, it created multiple ablums by the same artist.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem to bring all the files into one album by the same artist?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

    How to save a numbers file to a pdf file of multiple pages instead of one giant long page?

    Hi DW,
    Numbers 3.2.2
    Instead of Menu > File > Export To,  use Menu > File > Print...
    That takes you to Print Preview.
    In the Print Setup panel, Click on the Print... button lower right (it won't print yet).
    That opens the Print Dialogue.
    Click on the PDF Pop-Up Menu lower left.
    Choose Open PDF in Preview or Save as PDF.
    That will have page breaks and will be full sized.
    Print from Preview.

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.

  • Multiple page  in only one pdf in adobe forms abap?

    Hi,
    How to display multiple page  in only one pdf in adobe forms abap and avoid > sign in adobe for next page?

    Hi,
    Here are the steps how you can do it.
    1. Create a table.
    2. In the Library palette, click the Standard category and drag the Table object into a cell in the main table.
    Note: If you selected Donu2019t Show This Again in the Insert Table dialog box, when you select the Table object from the Library palette, LiveCycle Designer automatically inserts a table with the same number of columns and rows that you inserted the last time you used the Insert Table dialog box.
    3. In the Insert Table dialog box, enter the number of columns and rows. You can enter a maximum of 20 columns and 50 rows. You can add more columns and rows after the table is created by using the Insert commands on the Table menu.
    4. To add a header row, select Include Header Row In Table.
    5. To add a footer row, select the Include Footer Row In Table.
    6. Click OK.

  • Scheduling multiple tab BO XI3 report needs to save into multiple text file

    Hi,
    I have BO XI 3 Desktop Intelligence reports, those reports contains multiple tabs. Once after scheduling these reports the output needs to save as different text files (each tab as separate text file). Generally when select output as text file we will get the text file with the data of current tab, but in this scenario I want all the tabs data into different text files. I guess we can do this with macro. But I am not good in macro development, hope somebody can help me.
    Could you please help out for the same!
    Thanks,
    Rama

  • Result to be in multiple columns instead of one

    Hi,
    i have used the below sql :
    select parent_id, max(sys_connect_by_path(name,'^')) History
    from (select parent_id, name, row_number() over (partition by parent_id order by name) rn
    from notes )
    start with rn = 1
    connect by prior rn = rn-1
    and prior parent_id = parent_id
    group by parent_id
    order by parent_id
    this gets me the 'HISTORY' row returned in a single column. Problem is if i have 5 HISTORY notes, they all appear in same column with delimiter ^.
    Please help to modify query as to get History as multiple columns instead of 1
    Below is example of sample data returned , NOTE: history could contain any amount of rows.
    ID     HISTORY
    1     ^TT updates requested^TT updates requested^Update on TT #104836
    2     ^Call back actioned^Delivery Update^Internation Dialing ^TT Follow up (147023)
    3     ^Queried poor signal strength
    Idea case would be :
    ID     HISTORY HISTORY1 HISTORY2
    1     TT updates requested TT updates requested Update on TT #104836

    Hi,
    You might want to leave the results as one long string, but just add some spacing.
    Right now you're using
    sys_connect_by_path(name,'^')and getting output like
    1 ^TT updates requested^TT updates requested^Update on TT #104836
    2 ^Call back actioned^Delivery Update^Internation Dialing ^TT Follow up (147023)
    3 ^Queried poor signal strengthwhich is as hard to read as an OTN posting that doesn't use \ tags.  Naturally you're not going to insult your uses by asking them to read something like that.
    If you use this instead:REPLACE ( sys_connect_by_path ( RPAD (name, 32)
                   ,'^'
         , '^'
    then the output will look like this:TT updates requested          TT updates requested          Update on TT #104836
    Call back actioned          Delivery Update               Internation Dialing           TT Follow up (147023)
    Queried poor signal strength

  • Multiple Digital Signatures on one PDF file

    I have been trying to establish a means of allocating multiple signatures against one PDF file so as to have several people approve a issued document or documents. When ever I try it I find that the latest approval makes the previous one obsolete. I expect there is a simple solution to the problem.

    The only thing I've found is the 3rd party program solution. CoSign is the name of the product I see most often referenced. Mind you, I am looking on behalf of my users/customers who have documents with multiple signatures they've saved inthe past, but cannot do it today. It appears that either Microsoft (these are Excel and Word documents they are referring to) produced a security update that changed this, or a 3rd party program is no longer effectively working.
    For reference, I've been actively searching the internet for days for an answer - unfortunately, I've only found 3rd party programs referenced. Which I could have been more help.

  • Multiple signatures/stamps in one pdf

    Hi there,
    I have a pdf document with 50+ pages(drawings) inside.
    I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to place multiple signatures/stamps (same ones) on multiple pages within that pdf file. Every time i place a signature/stamp, it wants me to resave the document and adds a revision. SO literally, i would have to resave this document over 50 times with 50+ signatured revisions. There must be a less painfull way that makes sense.
    All i need is have my stamp appear on selected pages of that pdf file so i can print it out, or send it to a client.
    Isnt there a user-friendly way of doing this?
    Many thanks,

    I do have Acorbat Pro 9, it is a part of CS4.
    WIll this still be a legit (acrobat digital signuture wise) stamp?
    Thanks,

  • Spreadsheet output from reports posting to multiple cells instead of one

    Hi all, using Report Builder 10.1.2.2.0
    ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.5.0.
    I have a report that creates its output as an excel file using desformat=spreadsheet. The problem I am having is with fields that contain a large amount of text with formatting characters in them. In particular, carriage returns. When this data is created in excel, it treats the carriage return as a new cell, so instead of putting all the data for that column into one cell, it creates a number of cells and merges them all together.
    Is there anyway to get around this? I know excel can support line breaks within a cell, is it a limitation of oracle reports to be unable to duplicate this output?

    For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
    Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
    Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
    Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
    Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
    Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
    Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
    In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
    Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
    With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
    Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
    Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
    Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
    When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
    With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
    Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.

  • Possible to split one large pdf into multiple pages (in the same pdf?)

    I have some well logs that have been scanned - problem is they're coming is as one loooong page in the pdf.  Is it possible to split it up into several 8.5 x 11 pages within Acrobat, or do I need special software?

    Depends on what you have and the amount of length (a time issue). The simplest way is to use the crop tool to get a page worth and save it, then repeat for the next page, etc. Once all the pages are saved, you can put them back together. You should then use redax or such (print to a new PDF in a pinch) to remove the cropped portions. As I said, this is a bit time consuming, but can do the job. There are likely quicker ways and possibly some 3 party products that can do the job also.

  • How can IWD_VALUE_HELP return multiple values, instead of one

    Hello expert,
    I have requirement to use F4 help to return multiple values to the using WD component. Basically in my main WD component, I have a View where I have a list box, this list box has a F4 assigned to it, clicking on the F4 brings up hte F4 help, in the F4 help, user can select multiple values which should be returned to my main component / view to be displayed in the list box.
    I'd implement IWD_VALUE_HELP to create my own F4 help component. However I have difficulty to return multiple values. As I understand there is only way to return data from F4 help to the calling Main WD component / view:
    Item_LISTENER->F4_CONTEXT_ELEMENT->set_attribute( name = 'MYATTRName' value = myvalue).
    Do you guys know how to archive what is required here?
    Thanks
    Jayson

    Hello Jayson,
    the element reference that is passed into the IWD_VALUE_HELP implementing component is the element of the calling application's context.
    Therefore you can use methods like
    IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT->GET_NODE
    (to get the parent node of the element) and 
    IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT->GET_CHILD_NODE
    to get access to other parts of the context.
    say for example your value help should populate a pop-in table with multiple entries.
    your application allows you to choose a type of ice-cream cone and then to choose the flavour of ice-cream (multi selection)has a structure like:
    Context_root
    --> List_of_ice_creams (0..n)
    >Ice_cream_flavours(1..n)
    In the element of list_of_ice_creams you have an attribute "flavour" which links to your value help.
    Choosing this value-help should allow you to select multiple flavours, return these and populate them into the sub-node Ice_cream_flavours.
    Within your custom value help you can get a reference to the node Ice_cream_flavours by calling the method
    lo_flavour_node = IItem_LISTENER->F4_CONTEXT_ELEMENT->GET_CHILD_NODE("ICE_CREAM_FLAVOURS"). You could then populate this in you value help component.
    As I mentioned - this isn't great as it means the value help cannot really be used elsewhere as it has a dependency on the structure of the calling context. But that may not be an issue for you.
    Hope that helps,
    Chris
