I am working with A3/11" X 17" format. I only have an A4/Letter size scanner. How can I merge two scanned section of a document or a drawing into one page? Can Acrobat do this or is there any plug-ins available?
My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7.0.5, Windows
While you don't mention the version of Acrobat - I will assume at least A7.
Two avenues within Acrobat to try - Background/Watermarks - Pull one in on one side, the other on the other side.
TIP: In A7 you can create a new, blank page, by holding down the Shift key when using the mouse and going to File | Create PDF - 'From blank page' will appear on the menu.
For a specific page size, open the JS console, enter in
app.newDoc(x,y);
then press Ctrl Enter where x and y are the page dimensions in points (1in=72pts)
Other option, scan both documents in then re-print them through the Adobe PDF printer, but select Multiple Pages per Sheet on the Page Scaling.
As for plugin's to make your life easier - Quite Imposing / Quite Imposing Plus is, I hear, a really good one. (note: not affiliated with Quite, other than I owe Aandi two beers).
There is also Compose and a couple of others on the market. If you will be doing a lot of this, get a plugin. Just once in a while the above suggestions will suffice.
Lots of options here - good question!
