How to prepare a PDF with pass4press settings in Illustrator CC

I am re-setting as advert for a client who has asked that the artwork be sent to the publisher as; QUOTE - "Artwork to be supplied in high-resolution PDF. All images within the PDF must be 300dpi images formatted to PPA Pass4press Version 9" I can download the presets from the PPA website, but which one? None are for Illustrator CC (only CS3 and CS5). Does it actaully matter? and is it simply a case of creating the PDF using this PDF preset in my drop down menu?
I remember when all you had to do was make sure you were working in CMYK, create outlines, embed images, and used a hi-res setting (Press quality). I'm really just a little unsure.
Thanks in advance.

Thankyou Monika,
I am concerned that the versions are specific, rather than being chonological. But it would seem that they are as version 10 seems to be specific to CS5, whereas version 9 is CS3.
Was wondering why there are no support options offered for this through the PPA, or maybe I'm just making a mountain out of a molehill ;-)

How to create a pdf with the correct size?

Hi there
How do I create a pdf with the correct size? I created several albums and ordered them. Now I want to backup the album and I know how to create a pdf, but when I choose A5 it's to big, when I create my own size it's not the size it should be. The original (made with iphoto) is a small size album 200x150mm. But when I create my own size (200x150) it shows some white borders.
Does anybody have some tips ore workarounds?

Iphoto 11 (9.4.2)

Books are designed for and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch stock, US Letter size. You shouldn't have to select any size. While viewing the All Pages mode in the book Control-Click on the page and select Save Book as PDF from the contextual menu.
That will create a PDF that iPhoto uses to upload and print. Not all pages will be the same size as the dust jacket will be present in it's full size, 32.8 inches x 8.91 inches:
If you want a PDF that's designed for your own printing the type Command+P while viewing the All Pages window. In the first print window click on the PDF button. It will present you with a contextual menu where you should select Save as PDF. That will give you an 8.5 x 11 PDF file with all pages the same size.

PSE 8: How to create a pdf with several pages?

I want to deliver DINA4-Sheets (thats bacic European standard size of a sheet of paper for let's say writing an official letter) to print out in a copy-shop. Now the copy-shop-owner says, for him it will be much easier if I hand in my 10-20 pages in one pdf-file with 10-20 pages and not 10-20 single-paged pdf-files, cause then he only needs to do the colour-routines and adjustings once and not many times. Now there is the problem, in Elements 8 there is the option to save a psd as a pdf-file, but I don't know how to add the other files and make a pdf with more pages than just one. May be I need to do that with Scribus, a freeware prog.

Hello Barbara!
Your answer just proved extremely helpful. It worked that way. I first created a pse-file in the right document size. Then with copy and paste I imported the first page and flattened it to one layer. Then I chose to create the second pse-page, that shows automatically in the menue then with the pse-file open. Into the second page again with copy and paste I imported the second single sheet and flattened the second page too to one layer and so on. That way it works. Finally I first save in the pse-file and then save the whole thing as pdf.
Very easy to do. Thanks a lot!

How to print adobe pdf with popups.

im having problems printing popups (yellow notes) and the pdf. when i go to print, document and markups is selected but no popups show in the preview. ive tried it in adobe 6 and adobe 8 but same problem. i went to the help feature and followed the following steps. it says go to :
edit
preferences
customize/comments but that is not there. i looked in diff categories but nothing.
this doc was not created by me, im just trying to print. there are other docs but same problem. if i go to toolbar windows, i select customize toolbar but it has asterick next to it stating i cant make changes unless document is enabled

as he,
In Acro 8 Pro Toolbar, Click: "Review & Comment"--->"Show Comments List" From there you can sort/print/search. Under the "Options" button you can Summarize the comments. Under the "Print Comments" you can elect to print:
"Document and comments with connector lines on separate pages"
"Document and comments with connector lines on single pages"
"Comments only"
"Document and comments with sequence numbers on separate pages"
I would experiment with the settings until you are happy with the outcome.

How to print a PDF with multimedia content?

I have a 127 page PDF with flash files and other multimedia embedded. How do go about printing this to a laser printer?

Thank you Michael
My problem is, I need to print the document with the mm items. I work
in a print & copy shop, we must deal with whatever the customers send
us.
I actually stumbled around and found I could do it with the MultiMedia
Flash Tool, editing the poster options. It's a tedious process though,
and I'd like to find a way to set this for the whole PDF file at once.
If you know how to do this I'd appreciate the info.
Thanks again,
Mark

How to open a pdf with a ".exe" extension?

Hi everyone,
I am new. Someone just sent me a document they created in Acrobat 9 pro. They say it is a password protected pdf. When I click open or download, it changes from 1 KB to 28 bytes and displays a message that the content has been deleted. I would really appreciate any insights!
In case it helps, I am using Windows 7 and have Acrobat XI Pro. Thanks.

If it was a PDF with a .exe extension I suspect you have just been injected with Virsus, Worm, Trogan Horse or some other malware. A PDF if it’s a true PDF will only have pdf extension. When some one says it’s a Pdf but say it will be sent as exe file don't download it. Or if itd ownloaded don't open it trash it immediately.

How to "Print to PDF" with property "Signing: Allowed"

Print to PDF generates a file with the security document property "Signing: Not Allowed". These Properties are only visible in Acrobar reader -> File -> Properties; you can't see these in Preview.
Is there a way to change Mac OS X Print to PDF, that it generats PDFs with "Signing Allowed"?

Thomac:
After further review I discovered that it isn't the PDFs you are creating that has the problem, it is the limitations of Adobe Acrobat Reader to perform the ability to do the functions of Document Assembly, Commenting, Signing and Create Templates. If you had Acrobat Professional and opened your PDFs and checked the properties, you would discover that all these would be allowed.
Initially, I was looking at my test files with Acrobat Professional. But, when I opened the same PDF with Reader on a different machine, I was getting the same summary as well.
Adobe Reader is just that: a READER.
You can feel safe that your PDFs allow signing.

How to create multipage PDF with PS?

I have a 6 pdf pages, and need to create a single pdf with all 6 pages. PS Help states that can create multi page pdf using Generic PDF Files, “Created using the Photoshop Save As command, with Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities deselected in the General section of the Save PDF dialog box.” I did that but never found way to select/choose the 6 generic pdf files I created by deselecting Perserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities.
Is there a way in PS to create a multi-page pdf?

As of CS4, you need to do it in Bridge.

How to create Interactive PDF with multiple .mp4 videos– without lagging on playback?

I'm creating a long document with no real effects-- just a "fade" transition from page to page-- and multiple videos. These videos are all formatted as .mp4s, and I have had no issues with the actual process of getting them embedded and playing back on export.
My real issue is that the videos are all extremely laggy on playback. Since this is a presentation document, I'd like to know if there are any options for making the playback a bit smoother. Each video, by itself, plays with no issues. Would the combined filesize of all the videos be causing this? There are about eight 30-second videos and one 2-minute video, which makes the filesize quite large.
Filesize is not an issue, so is there some way to completely embed the videos or create an external folder the PDF document can draw the videos from on playback...? Hopefully I won't be stuck with laggy videos.

My suspicion is that computer setup has more to do it than anything. How much RAM, whether other apps are loaded, what kind of graphics chip, stuff like that.
I don't know of a setting, though you can look at the Flash Player settings in Acrobat. There is certainly nothing in InDesign that would affect it.

How to create a PDF with substituted key-value and table-values using a template language

I have about 50 key-values and 10 table-values that I want to substitute into a formatted report template (language can be anything standard, would create a small number of these templates) and then use an Adobe tool to substitute the values into the template and produce a PDF. Preferably the template language would permit some basic conditional logic (if <key #> has value <value> then <show key label here> and <key value here> in close spatial proximity on the form) and permit embedding of a static graphic logo, text with fonts/styles, etc. to produce a polished report but also handle pagination (e.g. enable page breaks or numbering) to be handled automatically.
What is a recommended template language and product to accomplish this?

Are you thinking of something like a blank form that you can enter information into, save, and send to another user? If so, what you want is possible. If you want more information, post again and include more details about how you want to use it and how the recipient will use it.

How to create automatically PDF with Adobe OLE/Automation without pop-up?

Hi,
I developped an application (langage Windev) which extract datas from PDF documents and split them in many PDF documents.
I use Adobe Arcobat Pro (version 10.1.8).
I call the method "save" from the object AcroExch.PDDoc and the method "close" from the object AcroExch.AVDoc.
It works good mostly but sometimes, after the treatment of a document, I have this message at beginning of the treatment of the following document:
Adobe Acrobat recovered one or more documents that have not been properly recorded before the Acrobat stop.
Click Yes to open the documents retrieved.
However, the methods "call" and "save" return no errors...
Do you know what is the reason? Or how to catch this message?
Regards,

If you want dynamic content, then you want to use form fields and JavaScript.
If you were to use a n Acrobat Template with the necessary JavaScirpt, you would need to add that template to each PDF and then run a JavaScript to overlay that template over each page.
It might be easier to use a Batch Process or Action to add the necessary Will Print script and form field on each page. You could even add a menu or tool bar item to perform this task.
You can search these forums for the necessary code.

How to create a PDF with Only Read Property

Hello Gurus,
I have a big question:
How can I create an Smartform which can be exported in an Only Read PDF ?
I need to do that for creating a PDF file which information can not be copied.
Is that Possible?
Thanks!!!
rgds.
Miguel Angel.

Hi,
the nature of a PDF file is that it cannot be modified, only read with Adobe Reader, and not only once downloading the form from SAP but with any tool. What you pretend is impossible, because there are many tools in the market for making the PDF files either editable or per Copy + paste you can process the texts in Word or any software.
Search in the internet (www.download.com) if there´s a software that can lock your file, but I am sure that this will not work in conjunction with SAP during generation of file; it´s going to be a manual work.

How to print a PDF with equal white borders

When I print my flyer the white borders on the top and bottom are unequal. How do I make it so all 4 sides have the same width for the white border? The print preview is unequal too.

How to create small PDFs with reasonable quality images?

Help me Obiwan Adobe!
There seem to be several utilities around the web that claim to do this, but I figured I'd ask the experts first. There must be some sort of step by step technique outlined somewhere that enables you to create PDFs that have reasonable image quality but don't come with such extreme weight that they can't be emailed.
I have seen suggestions ranging from using the Print to PDF function in InDesign (sometimes that works, sometimes not), to exporting out of InDesign using the PDF/X1a preset (used to work ok, but now does not seem to crunch the files down as much as they used to) to adjusting preferences to a lower screen resolution—not in the export or save as dialog box—then saving as reduced size. I've tried almost every technique I have seen but to no avail.
So I assume there is something I am missing. In builiding an InDesign file that you want to severely compress, is it better to use JPEGs or other PDFs or something else for placed images?
I know it is alot to ask, and clearly native Acrobat functions are not much help, but I have several uses for this. I do a lot of book design and prefer to send drafts to clients that are at least good enough for them to look at without fuzzy images. I also would like to put together a portfolio PDF document that does not require sending through FTP. In fact most places that ask for my portfolio PDF want it smaller than 1.5 MB. That seems to be impossible.
So there you go. Somebody needs to write a book. In fact, if I get some good direction, maybe I'll do it.
Thanks

A lot depends on the types of images you have and the resolution. You may be best adjusting the resolution first in InDesign and then creating the PDF. For the options in the export, you may have to ask in the ID forum since the export is an ID function. Printing to the Adobe PDF printer is the other that was suggested (I usually hear that the ID export is the best way to go, but I don't have ID to confirm). In printing to the Adobe PDF printer there are several options to consider -- one is the selection of the job settings to use. The default is Std that embeds all but the Adobe fonts and has a slightly lower graphics resolution than Press or Print settings. Also, in the advanced button of the Adobe PDF printer>layout (may vary with Acrobat version), select the Graphic>Print Quality and lower it. I use 300 dpi and several others recommend 600. The default is 1200 that is useless unless you are expecting folks to zoom to see fine details.
If you open the job settings Adobe PDF Settings>Default Settings (select one of the settings files - probably press or print, or try Std if you want) and check the graphic tab to see the resolution that will be used for the graphics. A combination of this resolution setting and the Print Quality should address your issues.
