I am looking at an online database of approximately 250 pdf reports 15-25 pages in length.
For a research project I am wanting to get the title page information, authors (more than one on most reports), date, title, into a list I can sort by any of the different title page components. I haven't learned how to use database programs so I am going to have to do it in a spreadsheet.
(I have acrobat 4. )
1) I opened a pdf file online and tried to print just the first page to my hard drive using pdf writer. I got an error message saying something like acrobat reports couldn't print to the pdf writer.
So at the moment I am in the process of downloading 250 complete reports just to get the title page. I can print to paper with the pdf writer but I would prefer to have the information in the computer.
???? Is there a way to print 1 page of a pdf file to another pdf file? ?????
2) My ultimate objective is to get the stuff into a list.
The only way I know to do it is to open a pdf report in one window and my spreadsheet in another and then type the info I see in the pdf window into the spreadsheet window.
?????????? Is there some way to save/print/extract the pdf information that would expedite this transcription process? ??????
Thanks for any help you can give me.
