How To Save 2 Pages In One Pdf Photoshop

[Gigí Ruais]

Ineed to save each layer of my psd document as a page in a multi-page PDF file (or as a single-page PDF file each as I can combine them later). File->save as->PDF works for 1 layer at a time, but I don't fancy doing this for all 150 pages of the document.

I also tried the File->Scripts->Export layers to files, but it runs incredibly slowly (actually slower than me doing it manually) and I also have to output them to images, then re-import them in acrobat which doesn't allow me (or I haven't found the option anyway) to save the document in the PDF/X-1a:2001 format I require (which is an option from the photoshop file->save as dialog).

As far as being slow... Don't know how big your image is or how many layers there are, but on an old (2008) MacBook Pro it exported a 2848x4288 pixel image's four layers in less than 30 seconds. I can't speak to your configuration. But at least it can run without having to convert the results from images to PDFs.

I try to wrap my head around the thought processes where someone builds 150 Photoshop files that are destined for print production. If it's a book, manual, catalog, or something similar you sort of created way more work for yourself by not using proper tools from the start. But then again, maybe there's some reason, I'm not considering, in which you had to use Photoshop for every page.

But in any event, use Adobe Indesign. Place all the Photoshop pages into an Indesign document. Note, for press you'll need 148 or 152 pages - 150 pages will not work for printing (assuming it's a book or similar).

@0xFK - yes, in newer Creative Cloud programs, I agree that Export > Layers to Files from Photoshop is a great option. That command will provide you with many image files. If you have Adobe Acrobat, moving out of Photoshop at this point is ideal. In that case, you could quickly create a pdf combining those many image files using Adobe Acrobat's File > Combine Files into a Single PDF command.

I read a solved post on this forum where someone wanted to make a calendar, they used Adobes template calendar where the user adds their own images to the document. This document is 28 pages long. Here was my theory:

Probably the easiest thing to do is to setup each page and save as a separate file. Then open the calendar pdf in Acrobat (which I hope you have), then one by one replace each page with the one you created out of photoshop, then save as a new pdf.

It's the same if you open an animated GIF you can edit and save one frame at a time, but they will all save as individual GIFs, Without Fireworks, you can't put them back together as one. That's because animated GIF's aren't native to Photoshop, just as compiled PDFs are native to Acrobat and not Photoshop.

In order to reassemble the Calendar, I had to go to Acrobat and create a new PDF from multiple files (the original and the Photoshop saves) Then I "dumped" the "(month) image here" pages, and inserted the correct picutre page for each month I did. Using Acrobat you can change the order of the pages and set them so it looks right. Photoshop doesn't have that feature because it's not a PDF compiler/editor. It will make PDFs, but you need Acrobat to put them together and sort them out.

When you get the error General Photoshop error while saving it usually means a problem with the save path. Photoshop is trying to save to a location that doesn't exist. This works assuming the folder C:/Users/Barney/Pictures/Temp001 exists:

The only changes I made were to to the path string saveFile = new File("C:/Users/Barney/Pictures/Temp001/" + thistimestamp) Notice I added the C: to make it an absolute path and added a / after Temp001 to specify this is a folder and not part of the final file name. My Pictures should actually be Pictures (my pictures is just an alias), which is what you get if you copy the address from the address bar. Also I removed the + ".jpeg" because photoshop takes care of the file extension for you.

While there are many commercial tools available which allow you to modify/rotate a PDF document and save the changes, you have to download and install the software -- too much of a hassle for a one-off kinda task such as this. Luckily, the fine folks at allow you to have your PDF file rotated online to a desired degree (90 clockwise/counterclockwise and 180 clockwise) online, for free.

I just had this issue today and found the website. Once you specify the PDF you want to rotate and the degree of rotation, you click the "Rotate PDF" button. That uploads your PDF to thier servers and performs the requested rotation. Momentarily, you're greeted with a result page allowing you to view the result online or download the rotated PDF to your computer.

You can open the PDF file in an Adobe app like Illustrator and then rotate in there. Then save as PDF and this should work. If you you don't have access to CS3 you may want to try open source PDF editing software.

www.pdfsam.org : open source, cross-platform tool that allows to rotate, split, merge and otherwise manipulate PDF documents. This is a must-have tool, in my opinion, if you are doing things like insurance claims, or other document handling tasks.

Answers to this question on ask.fedora.org, in addition to explaining why pdftk isn't available for Fedora since (at least) Fedora 21, are worth checking since they list several other alternatives, which presumably are able to rotate PDFs.

I have PDF-Xchange Viewer,and it is easy to fix and save orientation with this freeware.I also have Foxit Reader which although freeware as well,is very limited in it's editing ability.Go with the PDF-Xchange Viewer!

In windows: go to www.ninite.com check off PDFCreator or CutePDF, and get the installer. It will create a PDF printer for you to select in the print dialogue, and when you print, it will prompt you with a save dialogue for a PDF file.

It's worth while mentioning Adobes own online tool, any issues with private data mentioned in the above comments will resolve if you trust the Adobe servers.

Click Save, so that the edited file can be downloaded without signing in, followed by the declaration on the page the file will be consequently removed from the servers.

To perform a second anonymous rotation, remove all the site cookies and refresh the page.

You need to be working with a version of Acrobat that allows changes (i.e., not simply free reader). In the pages tab on the left, highlight the pages you want rotated (by left-clicking on them, use Ctrl to click on multiple pages), then right-click - Rotate Pages - 180 degrees. Then save.

We use Adobe Acrobat PDF files to provide electronic access to our forms and publications. You will need to have the Adobe Reader software installed to access them. We recommend using the most recent version of Adobe Reader -- available free from Adobe's website.

All of our PDF files are tested prior to posting on IRS.gov. If you have problems with a file, such as PDF pages that don't appear in the browser window, please review the troubleshooting information in Adobe's support knowledgebase.

IRS fill-in PDF forms use some of the features provided with Adobe Acrobat software, such as the ability to save the data you input (document rights). Currently, there is no computation, validation or verification of the information you enter and you are still responsible for entering all required information.

We accept forms that are consistent with the official printed versions and do not have an adverse impact on our processing. This policy includes forms printed from IRS.gov and output on high-quality devices such as laser or ink-jet printers, unless otherwise specified on the form itself. Forms that must be ordered from the IRS are labeled "for information only" and can be ordered online.

I scanned the pages using my old reliable Epson Expression 636 flat bed scanner with a really nifty Silverfast scanning program to feed images to Photoshop 7.0. I set the Silverfast program to scan the pages at 150 pixels per inch, use it's unsharp masking capability, and "levels" utility to produce good-quality 24-bit color images in Photoshop. Once I have a number of text pages scanned I save the scans as JPEG medium quality and then use Photoshop's Save for Web tools to produce very small B&W GIF format files to use later in Microsoft Word 2002.

Pages with half-tone images take a little more work. I scan those at 600 pixels per inch to capture the dot structure without a moir pattern. Then in Photoshop I select the half-tone image and use a 2 pixel wide Gaussian Blurfilter to produce a continuous tone image by smearing the dot structure. Then I use Photoshop's levels tool to adjust the image shadow, highlight, and image gamma. Finally I resample the large 600 PPI image down to 150 pixels per inch, apply a little unsharp masking and save it as a JPEG medium file to use in Word and Acrobat.

Then I compose a Word document with the JPEG (for photographs) or GIF images placed one on each page. After saving the Word file I use Acrobat's Word plug-in to produce a PDF version of the Word document.

One would think that this is all that is necessary. However, Acrobat adds extra file space when converting Word imbedded JPEG images to PDF. In the case of the GCTA Manual this balloons the file size from 3.5 MB to 5.5 MB!

To reduce the 'wasted' file space I replace the converted JPEG PDF pages with the original JPEG files in Acrobat. That reduces the final PDF file size to very close to the Word DOC file size. The only drawback is slightly different look on the PDF screen display. However everything prints out just fine. Take a look at the file with Acrobat and you will see the difference.

Why didn't I put the GIF files into Acrobat directly? Because GIF's have no print size flag! GIF's placed in Word files and converted to PDF have the size flagged! It took me many tries to work up the most efficient way to producevery readable and printable PDF documents. But the effort was worth it.

Remember back in college, my professor always asked us to save our work as PDFs for presenting in class. In the beginning, there were all kinds of errors like missing fonts, wrong proportions, saved as pages instead of individual artwork, etc.
