Is there really no way to export a PDF file as separate pages?

During delivery of PDF documents to print most of the time they want all the pages in a separate document.

I know that I can export the entire document into a single pdf and then use Acrobat to split the document in a separate page.

But I can't just wrap the head around the fact that InDesign before the end of 2011 still do not achieve the same result without having to go through Acrobat (or another application).

Can this be really the case? Or is it possible to do this?

I work for an offset press as a prepress operator, and I would NEVER ask one PDF page/file unless I wanted to control upstream dozens/hundreds/thousands of individual files at once (e.g. book 64 p arrives, I can either check 1x64pp; or 64x1pp files... know what I prefer to do!). I totally agree with John Hawkinson and Bob Levine it is counterproductive.

Similarly, in the 15 years I've been in prepress foreign here, I never had a customer provide the files as a single file / page PDFs and it was another printer who had imposed the first art using an approach similar to this method, before running out of time themselves for print work and we gave the work to print.

However, I read post above of the OP (post # 12) and take the point that it is irrelevant to the vendor who will or won't only PDF page/file; but the fact that the dialog box for manufacturing single PDF page/file is not except through scripts or third party.

Apart from suggesting the exporter LITTLE Scott zanelli (many other posters here have suggested the same thing), if the OP really wants to see this feature in future versions of indesign, go to the indesign wish list and request this feature.

    I have a pdf file with the personal information I need to tag and then share in pdf format.  Is there a free way to do this? Thanks in advance.

    There are many ways to hide personal information, BUT DO NOT. Many people, even people like the American Government, have done, then found the information is still there and their secrets are out.

    To get rid of personal information, you must use the function called 'writing '. Do not otherwise.

    For IPSec VPN, you can manually copy the phase 1, phase 2 configuration from one device to another or copy the entire configuration and then truncate the redundant output.

    I need to know if there is a way to export DATA from PDF forms, we have done over the past 2 years into a CSV file so I can add to my customer database? I hope that there is a simple way to do it. Please let me know if there are.

    Hi TCCTech,

    There are two or three option as *.fdf, *.xml. That later, you can convert to CSV using third-party applications.

    Or you can merge with the existing worksheet.

    RAR files are not more likely to contain a virus or Malware any that any other file. (Assuming that you are not running a decent AV program).

  • Define the quality of compression for individual images to export a PDF file?

    When is export a PDF in the ID file, you are given an option to downsample and compress images. My problem is, I want to compress images more than others. For example, a photo in the paper could be much more than a sous-echantillonnees png logo. Of course, I could go and pre-sous - sample each image to the right size in photoshop, but it may involve sort of. Is there a way I could exclude at least one particular image of compression?

    Hi Graham,

    If this is all for a PDF file, which should be light for web downloads and not for print jobs we can do the following:

    1. export a PDF file with different settings Downsample

    2 merge PDFs with Acrobat Pro

    Using the functionality of layers:
    A. import as layer
    B. flatten layers

    To get the different resolutions of individual images, configure the images that you do not want to see with a separate export for re - print.

    If this idea will work or not work depends on the structure of your page layout. And it might be a little automated through scripts. The extent of automation can be low or high. If images that shouldn't be downsampled can be identified by certain rules, legal regimes may or other means such as styles of object applied to the container used frames per etc., it could be high. And also individual export can be done by the script.

    Kind regards

  • When I export my PDF file to Word, I lose the formatting?

    Why am I losing my page/font formats and spacing when I export my PDF file to Word?

    It would be useful to know the operating system and the version of Acrobat. When you export, the registration screen has a settings option that includes retain format (creates a lot of text boxes) or flow. There are also options for OCR and graphics in the settings. If the PDF has strange fonts (or non-system), they will be not recorded and Acrobat will try a better idea on an appropriate policy.

  • InDesign CC 2014 "can't export the PDF file.

    I am trying to export a small document to PDF using InDesign CC 2014, something I've done many times before, but it now says "unable to export the PDF file.

    There is no errors in the document (at least according to the preflight Panel) and the error does not say why InDesign doesn't have to export the PDF file.

    Does anyone have suggestions on what to check to find out what it is exactly that InDesign cannot or will not do?

    Thank you!

  • [LIKE CS5] Export a PDF file in the background

    Then CS5 has background export to PDF files. If I have a script that exports several PDFs or JPGs etc, as each page individually or several parameters in the order (or at the same time now?), how know when it is done? AppleScript normally "expects" that the process is done. But now what happens? How can I know that exporting is done and I can close the file, or PDFs are made successfully?

    In my view, that there is now a "background task" class and a command ' wait for task. Examples on how to work with who? (Sorry I have not had time to work on it right now, working on other things IDCS5/Snow Leopard yet.)

    TIA, Chris

    If your script still uses the document. exportFile(), nothing will change. For example, the following code always works:

    t = app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File("~/Desktop/Test.pdf"));
alert("Task is done")

    If you want to use the "background" feature, you will need to use document.asynchronousExportFile ().  AsynchronousExportFile returns a background task, which is the waitForTask() method.  You can use something like this:

    t = app.activeDocument.asynchronousExportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File("~/Desktop/Test.pdf"));
t.waitForTask();
alert("Task is done")

    This export your document to PDF using a background task, wait for export to fill and then displays an alert.  The problem is that you lose the benefits of a background task (that is, you can do other things while the file export in the background).

    The backgroundTask object has a status property, which returns the status of the task, including TaskState.COMPLETED.  You could probably add an event listener to check the change of State of TaskState.RUNNING to TaskState.COMPLETED.  When I get a little more time later, I'll check and try to provide a code example.

    Once again, if your concern is the behavior of scripts you already have, then nothing should change.  If you are looking to take advantage of the new substantive tasks, there is work to do.

  • How to export a PDF file to make nonprinting objects show but don't print not AND hyperlinks on the top of the page work at the same time?

    Firstly - I work in InDesign CC 2015.

    My problem is, I had this 10 page document, which, on every page, shows an object that must be in PDF format - but do not print. I made this object into a button and unchecked "Printable". On top of this object, I made 10 hyperlinks (separate layer) that point to the page 1-10.

    When you export the document and I use the interactive PDF format , works ' show nonprinting object but do not print ' well, BUT hyperlinks don't. If I uncheck the "layer of nonprinting objects" in the file PDF, then hyperlinks work, but the problem now is that the nonprinting objects are invisible...

    When you export the document and I use a PDF to print the "unprintable object show but do not print" does not work BUT the hyperlinks don't...

    I put hyperlinks to post a link to pages and also tried the link to the anchor text. No difference.

    So my question is: How to export a PDF file to make nonprinting objects show but don't print not AND hyperlinks on the top of the page work at the same time?

    Thank you
