E-Mail specific page in a pdf document

[Kathy_N@adobeforums.com]

I have a 24 page document in Acrobat. You can print out specific pages, but can you e-mail specific pages?

[Steve_Werner@adobeforums.com]

You must first extract the pages you want (Document > Extract Pages), then you can open the extracted pages saved as a PDF and choose File > Email. The latter command opens up your email client with the extracted PDF as an attachment.

I want to be able to email only specific, non-contiguous pages in my document but when I try to select pages using the CTRL key and then extract them, it extracts all the pages in between. Any way around this?

[Jon_Bessant@adobeforums.com]

Drop them onto the desktop ....

....then zip up the pages you need and email them.

Regarding (Doc>Extract Pages>... are there settings associated with it?
I have a doc with a PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4). If I use Acrobat 6 to extract pages
it extracts and places a higher PDF Version (1.5). I need to be able to extract and maintain
the original PDF Version. Is this possible without using Acrobat v4 to do it. Thanks

Errol,

You will need to use Acrobat 6 to save down to version 1.3. I am not on my Mac
where I have version 6 available. But I think you can do this with the pdf
optimizer.

While I was using I found Optimizer didn't necessarily do what it was supposed to. (But, you are right Acrobat 6 Optimizer will change file types back to 1.3 V4).

Acrobat 7 does a far better job and optimizer is much easier to get to to use.

In Acrobat 7 Pro there also is a command reduce file size you can also set version as well.

Thanks, yes optimizer in Acrobat Pro 7 did the job.

Phil,

You upgraded then?

Jon

[pjonesCET@adobeforums.com]

Yes I have the latest version of Acrobat (7.0.8 ). I always update /upgrade to the detriment of my pocketbook. :-( I also use the latest version of OSX on my PB17" (OSX.4.7 for now).

[Jon_Bessant@adobeforums.com]

Hee hee - love the phrase 'pocketbook' ...

Jon

[pjonesCET@adobeforums.com]

Yes Its what you call a Wallet. It fits in my Pocket and folds up like a book. There is a difference between a "PocketBook" and a "Purse".

My mother carries a Purse but she has a Pocketbook inside.

Don't assume things just because your on the "left coast" and I am in the deep south. ;)

[sws@adobeforums.com]

If Jon were on the left coast I'd see him more often. Jon's not from these parts. The left hemisphere, I mean.

[pjonesCET@adobeforums.com]

Well what ever coast he was from he was assuming something just because I used the word "Pocketbook". All men in my parts except those making over a 1 mil a year call a wallet a Pocketbook. Over a mil thet might call it a wallet. However; I know one that calls his a Pocketbook.

Just depends upon what part of the country you come from.

[Jon_Bessant@adobeforums.com]

We call it pounds - but specifically where I'm from, it's called pynt ..

Jon

PS - but I do come across to the east and west coast quite a lot ..

OK... it's not perfect or elegant but it will do the job. The caveat is that it gives the temp file name and not Pages from "the document title".

//Begin Code
/* Extracts and emails the page specified by the user. */

app.addMenuItem({ cName: "Mail Current Page", cParent: "Tools", nPos: 0, cExec: "extractMail()"});

function extractMail()
{



var pageFind = app.response({
cQuestion:"Enter the page number you want to email.",
cTitle:"Page Number To eMail"
});

if(pageFind != null)
{
this.pageNum = pageFind-1;

var pStart = pageFind - 1;
var pEnd = pageFind - 1;
this.extractPages(pStart, pEnd);

var t = app.thermometer;
this.closeDoc();

app.execMenuItem("AcroSendMail:SendMail");
}
};

//End Code
