Vertical panorama: Eliminating page breaks/appending graph..

External Since: Jul 22, 2005 Posts: 37

Anyone have any ideas on a simple way to eliminate the page breaks in a
multi-page PDF document. or string together half a dozen PDF pages or
PDF or EPS vector illustrations into a single very long PDF or EPS page
or graphic -- a sort of "vertical panorama" -- using either Acrobat or
Illustrator (or GraphicConverter?), on a Mac? [Content of individual
pages or graphics is mostly text.]

I'm pretty sure I can do this using Illustrator, with a whole bunch of
Cutting or Copying from each of the individual input pages and Pasting
into the long output page -- but is there an easier way?

I don't know the answer to the question you asked, but here's something
else to consider: I believe there is still a maximum allowable dimension
for a PDF. I suppose you could just scale everything down to fit within
that if you're going to run over, but this will require some thought if
there are any raster images included in the pages (and don't forget to
scale stroke widths if you go that route).
