Merging 20 pages into one page

it can be done, but it's tricky. this may get you started: say you have 10 pages 8.5x11. one approach: first, in any version of photoshop create the big page (8.5 x 110) and save as PDF. open in acrobat. open the multipage file. with touch-up text tool or touch-up object tool (you figure out which works for your situation) copy/paste the text and/or page images one-by-one from the multi-page file to the big page. you'll need to do a lot of position adjusting.

You don't need Photoshop to create the blank PDF. Go to the console and run:
app.newDoc(612,7920); // equals 10 8.5x11" pages
or
app.newDoc(612,15840); // equals 20 8.5x11" pages

Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering if there is a solution that will allow me to keep my comments so that they can be summarized later. The real issue is that I want to be able to summarize comments in a pdf in a way that won't summarize them by separate pages. Even when I want the summary to be by author, it organizes them by author on each page in the content summary. If the pdf recognized all text as only being on one page then this would not be a problem. I would get all comments from the author grouped together, not separately by page.

There is a Batch Sequence that might be of use.
Batch sequence name: Cross Doc Comment Summary.sequ.
Task: Gather all comments from the selected files, sorted by author, and create a combined report.

The documentation may provide something of use.
