Help with re-formatting a PDF for easy printing by anyone?

Hello,
I used a template to create a new professional resume, and edited this template in Adobe Fireworks CS3.  It looks good now, but when I try and create a PDF with it, I can't seem to figure out how to make sure it will print properly on a 8.5x11 without the document shrinking or getting skewed.  Can someone help or recommend a service that can optimize my PNG or PDF file to that whoever I send it to will be able to easily view and print it on most any computer?
Thanks!

Michael,
Thanks for your response.  My OS is Leopard I believe, but am not at my computer right now.  I took a template from a website which must've been in PNG format, and the default application to edit it with was Fireworks I guess. I have it both in PNG and PDF format, I'll forward it to you if you have a minute to take a look.  My whole idea was to create a newer PDF resume with style/format that will stand out far above from my word resume (boring).
Thanks,
Jack

  • Help with page formatting in PDF

    Hope that someone can help me with a problem I have.
    I have just purchased Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Version 9.0.0, and am a very new user of Acrobat.
    The problem I have is converting a Word 2002 and SP3 documents (multi pages to PDF.
    The Word document is formatted with the correct margins in that all the text and Header are on the correct pages, but when converted to PDF a small part of the upper text on the next page moves up onto the previous page. Resetting the top ande bottom margins helps, but this should not be necessary.
    Anyone have any ideas to correct this problem.

    You version of WORD defaults to using printer metrics. There are 2 ways to resolve the issue. 1. go to print and select the Adobe PDF printer, back out and fist the document issues in WORD. 2. Deep in the options of WORD, there is a selection for using printer metrics (I assume your version also has this selection). Uncheck that and the problem should go away. You could also change your default printer to the Adobe PDF printer.
    WORD 2007 was changed to have the default set to NOT use printer metrics. All previous versions used the metrics. Thus when you change the printer, WORD reflows the document. The result may be errors in bookmarks, page numbers, and related issues.

  • How to format a PDF for iPhone

    Hopefully someone can help, Adobe support withdrew my question saying 'they don't support that platform', ummm, maybe PDF should be renamed to NPDF (non-portable format)!!
    Joking aside, what is the best way to format a PDF for the iPhone.  Problem is, trying to read any PDF on the iPhone you have to keep scolling RIGHT then scroll LEFT for EACH line of text in the PDF - this is obviously unacceptable to users.
    Is it possible to save the reflow setting in the actual PDF or is there anyother way, maybe set the margins in the PDF for iPhone screen size.  I only need the PDF to be read on the iPhone if that makes a solution any easier.
    Any suggestions much appreciated.  Thanks.

    When looping is involved it's almost always easier to use applescript to call a workflow than to try to loop in automator. Make a workflow that looks like this:
    Then call it in an applescript loop like this:
    -- get main folder that contains other folders
    set mainF to choose folder
    tell application "System Events"
      -- gather the subfolders
              set subFs to {folderNames:name, folderPaths:POSIX path} of (folders of mainF)
    end tell
    repeat with i from 1 to count of folderNames of subFs
              set fPath to item i of folderPaths of subFs
              set fName to item i of folderNames of subFs
      -- call automator to create the pdf
              set workflowOutput to do shell script "automator -i " & quoted form of fPath & " '/path/to/worklow.workflow'"
      -- rename the file (stripping of the extra bits that the automator utility adds to the file path
              tell application "System Events"
                        set newPDFPath to text 6 thru -4 of workflowOutput
                        set name of file newPDFPath to fName & ".pdf"
              end tell
    end repeat

    I would like help with setting up time machine for backup.

    You will need an external hard drive (formatted for a Mac).
    Then you plug it in and go to system preferences>time machine and select the external HD and turn it on.

  • How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo's?

    After reading dozens of forum, I still don’t found the answer.
    I made a photobook with full-colur and B/W photos for Offset printing. I want the B/W to be in grayscale to avoid color possible color shades. It seems InDesign doesn’t support grayscale, the images become way to dark. Even with exporting without any colour conversion or destination and/or including original colour profiles, the grayscale pictures are being exported to dark to PDF.
    How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo’s?

    Yes, the Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same
    This can get difficult because the 3 programs handle soft proofing differently.
    The working spaces don't matter, it's the document profile(s) that manage the preview. So here is the same grayscale image placed in ID on top and PS on the bottom. I've set my Photoshop info to show the doc profile in the lower left corner. I can see my InDesign's Document CMYK profile in my Proof Setup (the Working CMYK is different and isn't being used). Both profiles are effectively the same Coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of PS).
    But the previews don't match because I have Overprint turned off, so the InDesign preview is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview.
    If I turn on Overprint preview I get a match because I'm soft proofing for print:

    I use lightroom with the soft proofing feature for my printing. I used to make a copy proof, but all of the sudden something changed, and even if I'm on the copy in the developing mode it prints the original. Also, If i chose a file that was already in light room to print, even though I have the chosen file up in the developing mode, it will instead print the most recent file that I added to lightroom. If found a way to work around these problems, (check make this the copy in the soft proofing, and copy my settings and delete and reload the old files) but it's a slight hassle and it didn't use to do this. Not sure why it changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?

  • Barbara Brundage, can you help with PS Elements 11 and Epson R2000 printer issue?

    Seeking help with PS Elements 11 which does not work with Epson r2000 printer.  Epson tech support could not fix, said it is PS e11 problem.  Receive prompt on PS e11 screen when I try to print stating "not compatible or settings are not correct.  Have set PS to manage color and printer manages color to off.  Would appreciate any suggestions.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    Sincerely appreciate your help.  Running Windows 7 on a  Dell XPS420.  System has been very stable for years.  Before purchasing the Epson r2000, I owned an r1800 which was an excellent printer but after seven years started to exhibit paper feed problems.  The r1800 worked with all applications and I was well satisfied with the saturation, contrast, etc. printing mostly 8x10 and 11x17 prints. 
    Thank you for the information about the # of installs for PS E11, will try uninstall/reinstall this morning.
    Will let you know how things go.

  • Help with export format - can I meet ad requirements?

    Help!
    I need to create a color ad for magazine. Starting with a file in either PDF or EPS. Need to tweek existing file by changing some of the text and adding a logo. Final product is for magazine ad with media requirements:
    Preferred High Resolution PDF
    Embedded fonts - no true type fonts, only Type 1 or open Type fonts
    300 DPI
    supporting images must be CMYK, not RGB
    I also have PS CS3. I have experienced output issues with printers in past, especially using the PDF export format from Pages (problems with fonts and layers).
    From reading other posts my plan was to start in Pages, insert PDF file, overlay text and logo, print to Postscript, then open in PSCS3 where I would "save as PDF." Only concern is uncertain resolution of original PDF which is a small file (about 100k for quarter page color ad).
    Other thought was to start with EPS in PS, save as PDF or TiFF, open in Pages to ad text/logo, then back to PS. Trying to avoid PS for main editing, just more versed in PAGES.
    Will this work?
    Any comments appreciated!!

    Good evening from Normandy
    In response to Barbara's point:
    It is serious. At an early stage in my magazine project I lost a client because the background colour in his ad had changed after CMYK separation, and when I noticed it was too late. The client is with us now and very happy with the quality of his ad.
    Pages colour palette allows adjusting CMYK separation WITHIN Pages (note: it is also available in other Mac applications, even in SimpleText). Click on the rainbow circle in the tool bar to open it. Click on the second icon with colour sliders, in the drop down menu click on CMYK sliders. They show percentage content of the four colours used in professional printing - Cyan(blue), Magenta (purple), Yellow and Black.
    With Pages you work in what-i-see-what-i-get mode (WYSIWYG) which is wonderfully intuitive and the results in print are satisfactory more often than not. As a general rule of thumb, however, I would recommend avoiding sharp, vibrant colours. What looks exciting on screen comes out dull on paper. Mind physiology here: screen colours are generated to go staight into your eyes, but the colours on paper are a reflected and refracted sun- or electric light.
    It also makes sense to avoid colours that are too feeble. I used light blue colour wash for background with Cyan reading of 8 percent and it completely disappeared in print. After consulting with my printers I had to change the reading to 15 percent.
    Another printers tool is colour-code or colour-guide tablets. They are like a stack of cards with changing colour sequences with exact CMYK percentage reading for each shade of colour. They can be purchased at specialised shops and web-sites, but are costly. Weigh your needs against costs. In my work I have to pay more attention to general lay-out rather than to colours, so I decided against investing in colour tablets.
    Another work-around here is to use colour combinations from Apple's own templates that come with iWork suite. Copy colours that work nicely together from templates to your colour palette (I wish there was a feature allowing to give custom names to composite colours) and they will be available for use in your projects.
    Re ColourSync utility mentioned here by Dragon. I agree, it is a powerful tool, but Barbara's point is especially relevant here: you have to know what you are doing. I invested some time in creating new workflows with ColourSync. The improvement in quality was dramatic, but while some problems were solved, others appeared. A short article I wrote re using Colour Sync is here:
    i-work-in-pages.blogspot.com/2006/10/preparing-colour-separated-pdfs-using.html
    So after a while I dropped ColourSync method and started using Enfocus PitStop which allows adjusting PDFs right at the CMYK conversion stage.
    Another work-around which makes life even easier is to ask your computer service people to prepare Distiller settings exactly to your requirements as a separate folder which you can install as default in your Distiller settings. That way you just drag-n-drop your files onto the Distiller icon in the Dock and get perfect press quality PDFs in no time.
    It is worth remembering that we are mostly end-users, not developers or technicians. Remembering this saves a lot of heart-ache. I call it the Renaissance Man dilemma - if you spend to much time chasing too many things your main goal is not achieved. Leonardo da Vinci was famous for not finishing his projects, because he always got distracted by exciting technical solutions that he stumbled upon while working...
    This is more in response to Angiomans thread than to Barbara's comment now, but I assume he followed Dragon's invitation to this thread.
    Cheers everybody - it is really exciting to share things with people who have similar experiences.

  • Need help with date format mask

    Hi there, right now I'm trying to set a default date format mask constraint for one of the attributes for my table. I want to set the default mask constraint as MM/DD/YY but I don't know how to. it should be something like:
    CREATE TABLE work (WorkDate DATE CHECK (WorkDate = 'MM/DD/YY'))
    or something like that, but I don't think that's correct. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

    What you want (and should have done) is to read the documentation, starting with the concepts:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/datatype.htm#CNCPT413
    http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/search?remark=quick_search&word=date&tab_id=&format=ranked
    A date is stored as, well, a date, format masks only come into play when you're selecting/retrieving a date or when you want to store a string as a date. Default date formats can be set through NLS_DATE_FORMAT at session and database level.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams122.htm#REFRN10119
    Documentation homes (from which you can do a simple quick search):
    http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage
    http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage
    Bottom line:
    Trying to set a default date format mask on a date datatype column makes no sense...

  • Help with my flash Nav Bar? [easy stuff]

    hey guys, looking for a little bit of help with some simple
    flash here, I have a flash banner for a website, there are 5
    seperate buttons, the instance names are:
    home_btn
    about_btn
    equip_btn
    work_btn
    contacts_btn
    what code am i looking for to open each new page in the SAME
    browser window that the index page first opens in?
    i have this code for it right now but it's not working
    because of the obvious conflicts:
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
    http://www.fhwm.ca/index.shtml");
    home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goURL);
    function goURL(event:MouseEvent){
    navigateToURL(request);
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
    http://www.fhwm.ca/about.shml");
    about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goURL) ;

    contacts_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goU RL);
    function goURL(event:MouseEvent){
    navigateToURL(request);
    any help would be much appreciated

    You should eliminate what you know to be obvious conflicts
    and then repost your code. Someone might be wasting their time
    telling you something you already know.
    For instance, you cannot declare the same function or
    variable more than once, as you repeatedly do. Either each button
    needs its own uniquely named/dedicated handler function and URL
    (request) variable OR you need a handler function that detects
    which button is the target of the event and assigns the URL to the
    request variable via a switch or other conditional code which is
    then used to process the page loading.

  • I need help with java Time Zone Updater for Venezuela Time Zone

    Hi,
    I've run the latest Time Zone Updater (1.3.5) on JRE 1.4.2. It is supposed to support the time zone changes for Venezuela. The problem is that when I set my Windows time zone and run java.util.TimeZone.getDefault() it says that I am on GMT instead of GMT-04:30.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I have found the solution for cases in which you cannot update your JRE to anything further than 1.5. You will have to create an extra entry in the Java tzmappings file as follows:
    Venezuela Standard Time:90,90::America/Caracas:After doing this, you will have to create a new String Value in your Windows registry for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones\Venezuela Standard Time Key as follows:
    Name: MapID
    Value: 90,90
    Best regards.

  • Resolution of Pages PDF for offset printing

    I'm making a brochure for my wife's company. I've already made it in Photoshop (on my PC). I've duplicated it in Pages (tri-fold template). The pdf made in PS is about 25MB. The pdf made by pages is about 1.3MB. The printer wants files that are 350ppi. And now that I think of it, they also want them in the CMYK color space. Pretty sure Pages won't do that. Anyway, anyone made a document that was printed by a service (offset press)?
    Dave
    in Maine

    I'd agree with what Peter says but for a possible few points.
    1. As you have calibrated monitors, you presumably have a spectrophotometer and a monitor calibration / monitor characterisation package. The package should autoinstall the ICC profile for the state of the display and set the ColorSync Utility and the Display control panel correctly. However, take care that you don't override these settings manually. The typical mistake is to use the display profile as the profile for colour correction. The reason this is a mistake is that your display typically has a smaller colour space than your offset printing condition, except if you are printing on lowend gray newsprint or lowend gray magazine paper as in US SWOP. For any half-decent printing gamut, use a larger colour correction space such as ECI-RGB or AdobeRGB or if you are digital then PhotoGamutRGB by the pro photographers in Germany. If you can't define a colour in the colour correction space you can't define the colour in the output space - you have to have the colour to be able to print the colour.
    2. In using the PDF/X-3 workflow, check with your printer for the bleed box and trim box. If you don't have to have transparency, try staying away from it in your design. The idea is that PDF is output to a determinate imaging area for the page itself, which you define in Page Setup, but printing processes have different needs of additional space and this additional space is customisable. If you do have transparency, set the transparency flattening appropriately in the PDF/X-3 dialogue. Finally, talk to your printer about the printing condition and determine if there is a house printing condition for which an ICC printing profile is available or if the shop supports ISO 12647 in which case you can get prebuilt ICC profiles at www.eci.org and the measurement data itself to build your own gamut mapping and black generation at www.color.org which is the home of the International Color Consortium.
    Probably a bit rambling, sorry about that.

  • Help setting up a Laserjet P1102w for wireless printing on a Mac

    I'm trying to setup a Laserjet P1102w on my Mac for wireless printing, but it's not working.  It will print fine using USB, but all the documentation for wireless setup is for Windows, not Mac.  if I connect the printer via USB to my Mac, how will it get an IP address from my wireless network?  Any help appreciated.

    Hi Staxofjoy,
    Based on the information you provided, and comparing to another post regarding this issue (link below) - It sounds like you are running 10.7 (Lion).
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Laserjet-P1102w-driver-for-Macbook-OS-X-Li...
    Please go to the linked thread above, and look for the post by mikel1004 - he outlined the steps for connecting Adhoc to the printer very clearly.
    Summary of what you will need to to:
    1. Reset Printer to Defaults
    2. Connect to printer via Adhoc from your Mac (This will disconnect you from your home wireless network)
    3. Access HTML Config, and configure the printer's wireless settings manually from there.
    4. Reconnect the Mac to the Home Network
    5. Add the printer to the print queue.
