I have a 50-page long PDF document that I need to add to my thesis and I just don't know how to do it.
I can attach a single page PDF at at time to word.
I can convert PDF to jpeg but they come out as single pages.
I can attach a single jpeg at a time to word.
But how on earth do you attach many PDF or jpeg pages without going back and forth inserting objects/pictures?

if it wasn't so long (50 pages) I would suggest taking a snapshot of each page [edit, 'take a snapshot'] and pasting them in as I have done that with a few jpegs and pdfs in my thesis but that might not work with the amount of pages you have.
think you need somebody considerably more technical than me! Good luck with it(up)
2nd edit :$ - I have an appendix that's a pdf and my thesis is still in word format. I did take a snapshot of each page (c10) and it worked fine. No doubt there is a much more efficient way of doing it but it worked for me. I have been working on a full draft document for a while now and have had no probs.
I know what you mean Ady, I've done that on single documents too but this 50 page is only the first to go, I have more still to come!!
Faerie, I'm afraid I don't have Linux. i'm not very technical either but I assumed that, when merging 2 documents it'll virtually be 1+1, where they're 'glued' together? I need the document to become part of my thesis if that makes sense. So this 50 page document is part of my qual analysis, it contains some writing on it, hence why I had to scan it and I can't simply copy and paste the original transcript. I need to append it because paper trail is needed so that examiners can see where my results arose from.
In terms of the document, imagine that you attach a pdf to word, you can see the whole pdf document within the word document, you can also see your headers and footers incl page numbers on word. That's what I need the final product to be. It'd be the same if you were attaching a picture or anything else, but because I need to attach many pages, I'm wondering if there's a way of attaching more than one page at a time... time is precious right now!
Hi Skig, I had exactly the same problem as i needed to include my publications into my appendices so they were in PDF format. Even converting to jpeg will give you individual pages aswell. Word cannot copy/paste a PDF with multiple pages as it will only display the first page. This is a very limiting function of Word. Inserting individual pages as an object was the only option when I did this end of last year, very tedious. Just be aware that the quality of the inserted PDF will be reduced, was ok for my thesis but may not be great if detail is essential.
Sorry I cannot give you an easy method but I can sympathise with this very tedious and time consuming task.
Thanks Faerie and Dunnim, I'm starting to think that's the only way...
This is very simple to do. Concrete includes a 'Content' block that you can do this with. First, make sure your PDF file is uploaded. Follow these steps:
1. Using the Content block, add your image into the content.
2. While still in edit mode and with content block edit dialog open, click ONCE on the image that you want to add the link to.
3. In the selector above the editor, select 'Link to File'.
4. Select the file that you will link to.
5. Save and publish page.
That's it! Let me know if this helped and were able to do this with success.
Or you can choose some tools .
have you ever tried someone?
if not, i want to recommend a professional
