Making a multiple page PDF into one scrolling page

[Jeff Witchel, ACI]

Is it possible to take a 22-page PDF and make it into one continuously scrolling single page in Acrobat?

Let me explain a bit further.

I'd like to take this very long, single page document that contains all 22 pages go the PDF and place it into a Frame in InDesign. Then I will be taking this placed PDF and making it into an interactive scrolling Frame using in5.

You can try printing it to the Adobe PDF printer with a custom paper size and the Multiple options, so that all pages are converted to a single page. But I'm sure there's a better way of doing it. Might be a good idea to ask over at the InDesign forums...

Thanks for answering Try67.

Hmm! I guess I could Place all pages of the PDF into a very tall signal page in InDesign and re-export to PDF. Because of size restrictions in InDesign, I probably will have to scale it down in my combined-page layout.

The largest PDF Acrobat supports is 5.04 metres. That's 16 pages of a4, 18 of US letter. You can't just make an indefinitely long PDF, they are a page-based medium. Other viewers may have different limits.

Thanks for answering. I ended up combining all PDF pages into one page at half size in InDesign and Exporting a new PDF.
