Export the results of the research of several PDF files
Hi all
I have a set of over 100 000 documents PDF, and seeks to identify those documents that contain a set of four numbers. Preforably I would like to export this list in the format in which I can link to each document - ideally an Excel xls document. Any advice on the export of an index search in Adobe or any other proposed option would be very useful. Thanks in advance.
See you soon,.
Terry
You will need Acrobat X or higher to do this, but here's how I would perform this task:
(1) create an index of full text of the document as a whole (and I guess your 100K files all contain searchable text content)
(2) run your search index via the advanced search of Acrobat functionality
(3) save results to one. CSV file, which was a long-awaited feature that came to Acrobat X
(4) when you open it. CSV in Excel (you can save as .xls (x) one more flexibility), you will have a list of file names, then a sublist of the page where the search took place
(5) from there, you'll need to manipulate the data in the Excel worksheet to list the full filepaths for each line, how you should then be able to open the file directly from your Excel sheet.
Doing the open to the exact PAGE Excel sheet is a bit more complex, but it is also possible with some VB scripts. You can search for it on the web if you want an example of code.
FYI, I approach this concept a little differently in my book, where I use a simple VB script instead of paths, I say just to point out that there are several options to set up the links once you're in Excel.
Hope that helps!

Hello
Is there a limit for research on the function of advanced search for files containing a text match? My search always ends with 500 discoveries but the folder contains several PDF files that match the criteria.
Hi carls76936091,
Open Acrobat, go to the Edit-> Preferences-> search & check if there is a limit to 500 set, in case if it is to increase it please.
Kind regards

The combination selected pages from several PDF files?
I have a series of PDF documents that I need to merge them into a single PDF file. I tried a few ineffective options, but I'm guessing that there is a simple procedure to do this.
I need to take selected each doc pages and merge them into a single doc (new) with all the same features of the original display and editing.
That would also be VERY useful, that is if there is a way to display the results of research of corresponding at the time point. PDF files is identified Bank, and it would be useful to be able to see a single beneficiary of several pages in the statements. IE: Displays each instance showing my monthly subscription payment to ADOBE Creative Cloud. Yes, I am using PDF files like a financial spreadsheet.
I have the current acrobat pro on a Mac (10.11.6)
Thanks for your help!
I just find the answers with a simple google search.
I was able to MERGE the Pages in a new docking (under Tools). Then I managed to REMOVE the unwanted pages - under Tools > Pages. Finally, as part of the advanced search, I could see all occurrences of a search term - "Adobe" - which in my case, gave me all the data I need for each line.
See the attached screenshots for more details:

You are prompted, for the default program when you try to print several pdf files.
I'm on server 2008R2, and whenever I try to pick more than one PDF file, then print, it will prompt you to choose me what program I want to open PDF with.
It does not allow me to print several pdf files no matter where the files are stored (office etc., network). I'm prompted with the message "choose program...". "every time.
I checked my preferences, and "Enable protected mode" is not selected
I already tried the following:
Adobe Reader DC relocation
Running updates
Change the value in the registry to point to "AcroRdr32.exe".
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
EricThank you all.
I was able to solve it.In the registry, the .pdf is looking at Acrobat.Document.15
Looked at the reg path and saw that the "Print" was pointing to Acrobat acrord32.exe rather
Changed to point to the drive path.
This fixed the problem.

Hi stephenm26904611,
Thank you for your bug report about the extension to create a file PDF Acrobat being disabled in FF v43.
It is a known issue and we are working on that.
We intend to provide support in the future updates.
Meanwhile, as a solution, you can use Adobe Create PDF extension for Chome and Internet Explorer, or use Acrobat to convert web pages to PDF.
Thank you

Insert the text field into several pdf files
I was wondering if there was a way to insert a text field into several pdf files. I have about 500 pdf documents that need to have a text field in the same location on page 1 of the document. Is there a way to create a batch for this? Can I create a blank PDF with the text field in the right place and superimpose somehow in the exsisting files? Or I'm stuck with opening each file and paste the text of field in there?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Yes, it is possible to do, if you have the version of Acrobat Pro and some knowledge of JavaScript.

How can I copy parts of the text of a pdf file in preview?
How can I copy parts of the text of a pdf file in preview? For example, the beginning and the end part of a passage - copy not a few sentences in the Middle
Select the first part of the text you want to copy. Press the command and option together and also select another passage of text. Now, press command + C to copy the two text selections.
Hypothesis: The PDF did not limit content selection.

I bought the ability to convert PDF files into word documents. However, when I opened a PDF it does not include the right panel that had been giving me the option to convert. After spending 30 minutes on a cat, I've learned that (1) the option is not on the right side panel on Acrobat 9 Pro, (2) it is on the top. What should I do to convert my files?
Look at the file menu.

I have 9, 1 pages in PDF files that are accessible and the need to combine them into 1 PDF file. I tried adding, adding and the combine process of PDF files. The file created does not take my changes. The file created is partially accessible, but I have to re - the problems that I had fixed in the unique files. I need suggestions on what else can be done, if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.
By habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page pane by right-clicking thumbnails then 'Insert of Pages'-> 'From File'. For me, this preserves the tags of these two documents, although the tags may have to be moved to the correct location (if I remember correctly the tags for inserted pages are put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), if I put the tags in the document to insert into a container as a Section tag It makes the process easier. Travel set of tags in the right place is the only re-fixing that I remember having to do. What behavior you encounter?

How can I reduce the size of a PDF file?
How can I reduce the size of file to an existing PDF file?
Hi oneidatourism,
You will need Acrobat to reduce the size of a PDF file. If you do not have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
In Acrobat, choose file > save as other > PDF of reduced size.
Best,
