Note that if the PDF is secured to prevent editing / page extraction, the Tile choices on the print dialog Page Handling list won't be available even if the PDF has print permissions - Acrobat needs to play about with the page content to do the "tiled" layouts as some page objects will cross the cut line, so it needs an unsecured file to work on. Be careful to check that fonts are embedded in the final document if you're printing via a commercial RIP. You'll lose any layers, forms, scripts etc but you lost them anyway with your inDesign workaround. Untick marks and labels, and print the file to a new PDF. Under Page Handling, choose "Tile all pages", 100% scale and zero overlap. Click Properties and make sure you're using a high quality print setting and the correct destination paper size (such as portrait A4 if your original has A3 spreads). Open the Acrobat print dialog and select the Adobe PDF printer. Pdftk A=full_doc.pdf cat Aodd output odd_pages.As you only need the PDF for printing, you can refry it in Acrobat (not something we usually advise but in this case.) Pdftk A=full_doc.pdf cat Aeven output even_pages.pdf You might do this if you wanted to apply a stamp to just the even pages of a PDF, for example. You can combine them again using shuffle, later. So in the examples above you probably want to be sure that the input ranges all have the same number of pages.įinally, sometimes you want to go the other direction and extract the even or odd pages from a PDF. If one range runs out of pages, shuffle continues collating with the remaining ranges. Pdftk A=fronts.pdf B=back_x1500.pdf shuffle A B output print_job.pdf Next, collate the print job ‘fronts’ with the ‘backs’: Pdftk A=back_x500.pdf cat A A A output back_x1500.pdf Make sure the Tile Scale is set correctly between the image and your panel size. By selecting File Print, you can split the picture into multiple pages at the same time. Click the Create / PDF PDF from File button. Pdftk A=back_x100.pdf cat A A A A A output back_x500.pdf Create a PDF document from your image using Adobe Reader (free program). Pdftk A=back_x10.pdf cat A A A A A A A A A A output back_x100.pdf Pdftk A=back_page.pdf cat A A A A A A A A A A output back_x10.pdf The following example isn’t the most elegant, but it illustrates the method: First, turn the single-page ‘back’ into a 1500-page PDF.
Say you have a 1500-page PDF print job and you need to place a single-page PDF on the ‘back’ of each of these pages so that the final PDF print job is 3000 pages. Shuffling can be used for other jobs, too.
MAKE DOUBLE PDF FULL
When using the Windows command-prompt, it helps to use drag-and-drop from the file manager: drag the input PDF file from the file manager onto the command-prompt, and its full pathname will appear at the prompt.
MAKE DOUBLE PDF HOW TO
Our PDFtk Server manual explains how to describe page ranges - they are very flexible. You specify these ranges after the shuffle keyword, and you can have more than two ranges. The shuffle feature works by taking one page at a time from each of the input page ranges and assembling them into a new PDF. Pdftk A=odd_pages.pdf B=even_pages.pdf shuffle A Bend-1 output collated_pages.pdf
If your even pages are in reverse order, you can reverse its page range: Pdftk A=odd_pages.pdf B=even_pages.pdf shuffle A B output collated_pages.pdf Then you can collate them into a single document like this:
Say you have two PDFs: even_pages.pdf and odd_pages.pdf. Two-sided sheets need to be sent as a two-page PDF or two separate PDF documents clearly labeled in a manner that groups them together. PDFtk has a special feature that we added specifically to solve this problem of arranging scanned pages: shuffle. Most Linux distributions maintain a "pdftk" binary package you can install.
MAKE DOUBLE PDF MAC OS X
You can download free installers for Windows and Mac OS X from our site. PDFtk Server is free (as in freedom) software that you can use to manipulate PDF documents. And the even pages are in reverse order! How can you collate these pages into a single, right-reading document? These instructions will show you how to do this with our command-line tool PDFtk Server. Now you have two PDFs: one of odd pages and one of even pages. You scanned a two-sided document by first scanning all the odd pages and then scanning all the even pages. Shuffle the even and odd pages you get from scanning a two-sided document using PDFtk Server.
