Pages export on project shows image blurry in pdf and white borders printin

I just completed a newsletter with the header an image create in photoshop and exported as bmp at highest rez.
Its in the pages doc and everything looks great. But i export it to pdf and the header image looks soft and blurrish and not sharp at all. Even the print out looks like that.
Also, i wanted to have the whole a4 size to be covered in the document, but when i print from pdf, i get these white borders and top and bottom cut off.
Any way I can select the document size in pages manually.
any advice.

.bmp is an inferior Windows format and is not natively supported in OSX. Formats you should use are .tiff, .png, jpeg or .pdf, even straight Photoshop files.
OSX will convert the .bmp to .pdf or .png but I suspect your problem maybe more than that. Have you used transparency, reflections or shadows? because OSX will render those down to 72dpi.
The page size is selected in +File > Page Setup… > where you can also manually add a custom size without borders/margins. Your problem may come however from your printer's printable area.

Hi
Are you Exporting Layout to PDF or Printing to PDF writer?
I have found in the past that printing a pdf gives better control and results. In the print dialog select Properties and make sure you have High Quality Print selected.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Goto saving images into a pdf and a message comes up " cannot start print job"

I an having a problem with my lightroom 4- I goto save my images into a PDF and it comes up " cannot start print job" and wont even save the images. What can be the problem, ive never had the situation before.

Hi Sasha,
Using Acrobat, you can create forms that are called AcroForms. The forms created in LC Designer are called XFA (XML Forms Architecture) and are more data centric. While both will open in Acrobat, they are completely different animals.
The issue with users not being able to save the data with Reader is that the form is not Reader Enabled. You can Reader Enable a form using one of two methods:
Reader Enable the form using Acrobat Professional (V8 or below) or Acrobat Standard (V9 or above). Note there are licensing restrictions.
Reader Enable the form using the full server product Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5. This involves additional licensing fees.
Have a look here: http://assure.ly/etkFNU, at the features that are available depending on whether the user has Acrobat or Reader; if the form is Reader Enabled; and how the form was Reader Enabled.
The issue of Reader Enabling would also apply to AcroForms.
I don't think that you need to dive into LC Designer just yet, as forms created in LC Designer face the same issues about Reader Enabling as forms developed in Acrobat.
If your usage complies with the EULA, then you could Reader Enable your form in Acrobat.
Hope that helps,
Niall

How to export HD-project to .avi including HD-quality and timecodes

Hi,
I have an iMovie HD 6 project that I have imported from my Sony HDR-HC3 HD video camera. The project is a HD-1080i-25 project. I want to export this project to an AVI keeping the HD quality (same quality as the DV-tape). What settings should I use to make this happen? I don’t want to export it as a QuickTime .mov file but as an .AVI file that I am able to play in a media player that supports HD. I also want to keep the 16:9 format and timecodes. One other purpose with this file is as a backup (if the DV-tape should be damaged) so it must be possible to import it into iMovie again if that should be necessary.
Is all this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Jarle

Your best option is to export to .dv using the Full Quality DV preset. It will preserve all quality including the timecode.
On the other hand the Expert export settinngs of iMovie 5 and 6 are buggy because exporting via the expert settings as a DV stream or .avi deinterlaces video and loses the timestamp!!
Workarounds: Export .dv via the Full Quality preset (this is more convenient anyway). Exporting as .dv (or DV-encoded .avi) via QuickTime Player Pro also preserves interlacing and timecode.
http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_6_bugs.html#expertsettings
If you export via QuickTime Player Pro, then use the following settings:
Export: Movie to DV Stream
DV Format: DV
Video format: PAL (I am European)
Scan: Interlaced (notice that this option only sets the corresponding flag -- it does not do ANYTHING else to the video!)
Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (this options also sets the corresponding flag so other apps can properly treat the file)
Audio Format Rate: 48.000 kHz (I believe there is not much difference between locked vs unlocked audio -- unlocked seems to be the default)

Printing doesn't show any colors; only black and white

Hello all, I am trying to get this page (that I'm developing) to print in Firefox 8:
http://theprojectteam.co.nz/joomla-dev/index.php/workshops/register
In IE8, it prints fine. In Firefox, it only prints in black and white. The logo at top left, the checkboxes, and the "terms and conditions" link don't print at all. The title image prints in a dithered kind of fashion.
Print preview shows everything except some of the borders on the inputs are missing (I assume a border rounding issue...)
Checking "print background" in Page Setup makes no difference.
Printer I am testing with is a HP PSC 2350 multifunction. Bit oldish but seems fine otherwise.

In the print dialog box, click and hold on Copies and Pages, then move down and select Print Settings. Here you'll see the Color/Black and White setting adjustment.
I'm assuming it does print in color from the PC, so nothing wrong with the printer?

Duotone image is turning black and white

Hi
I have a gradient background that I wanted to change to duotone so that when I place another image on top it becomes duotone (gold and blue) as well. However when I open the gradient image and set it as a duotone of blue and gold it becomes black and white.
I managed to do it on a previous document by accident but have no idea how. I have also tried to chage the colours of the duotone in this image from purple and gold to blue and gold but the image becomes black and white.

might be bacause of this: the bar where the duotone colours are supposed to show is in grayscale. so any image I try to change to duotone ends up becoming black and white. how do I change this?

MacPro 2009, OSX 10.8.5, iTunes 11.1 shows everything in black base and white text?

I've updated MacPro to 10.8.5 and iTunes to 11.1.
The problem is, that these updates did not solve a problem where iTunes shows everything in negative colours - well almost everything.
Mostly it has a black base and white text for example on Music Library and on the side bar.
Anybody with any solutions maybe?

Premiere Pro problem, it doesn't export my project,shows no error

Hello everyone, I've been working on a short film for a while and now that it's finished I want to export it. The only problem is, that I can't! The export freezez at 10% sometimes 20% without showing any sign of error or anything. Is there any way to track the source of this freezing? I've done the rendering of the project from the work area and it's all fine, but when I export,it bugs on me. Any help please? I've been working with adobe dynamic link, also using some effects from after effects. Is there any kind of verification that I can do in order to find the problem?
Thanks!

RoboHelp9 HTML Trial does not show images in Create PDF for Review

When I do Create PDF for Review, the pdf shows only the gray rectangular placeholders for our logo and another image at the top of each pages instead of the actual pictures. Is this a bug or it is supposed to work like that?
Just in case this has anything to do with it:
Some of RH's PDF Creator Add-in X features did not work on my new Win7, 64-bit, Office2010 machine, and said I couldn't then install my Adobe Standard 7.0 CD because "you have a better product installed". The techs got on my machine for 2 1/2 hrs. and couldn't get it to write pdf via Printed Documentation and were going to try to re-create it in their lab. A week later I uninstalled RH's PDF Creator Add-in X and installed my Standard 7.0 and I can now do Printed Documentation to pdf. Would this have caused the problem in first sentence?

I cannot be sure but I would say it is highly likely. PDF Review is designed to work with Acrobat 9 or X. I know Word 2010 has some issues with Acrobat 9 so if you are using 7, nothing would surprise me.

Screen shows image, but is very bright white, and very hard to see.

hello, i have a 4gen nano with a screen that is a bright white most of the time, with a barely visible display. i can see enough to navigate where i want to go, but is is very difficult. on rare occasions the screen returns to normal, randomly, but returns to its white condition soon after. any ideas on what is causing this would be very helpful. thank you

also try PRAM reset, the following article tells how to do that:

Poor Image quality upon PDF export

hi,
issue: images lose quality when viewed in PDFs
i've searched/read these and other forums for the past few days and have tried just about every suggestion out there in order to get better quality images in my PDFs and nothing works.. it's as if everyone is talking some theory without actually testing/proving what they're saying.
are pdfs inherently bad at handling raster images?
i have a few 800x1200 px renders (tiffs/jpgs) that i'd like to include in a PDF.. i'm using A4 landscape orientation because when viewed at full size on a 24" monitor, it's the size i'd like it to be (i'm not concerned with printing this pdf.. monitor only)
the images when view full size in the pdf are a bit smaller than viewing the original images full size however, the quality is a lot worse.
honestly, i'll try or retry your suggestions but at this point, i'm more/less looking for an explanation as to why this happens because from what i can tell, it's going to happen no matter what
gracias

Not sure what you are expecting.
well, i'm certainly expecting better quality than what i'm getting..
The jpg is contrasty and it is lower resolution than you need, but you did say that above. Which means I am not looking at what you are looking at.
The color space is srgb and the conversion from the tiff would have reduced the quality a little or a lot depending on your settings.
it doesn't matter if i use the original tiff or the jpg.. for all intents and purposes, let's forget i even have the tiff.. the jpg should look the same in the pdf (imo)
Did you print to pdf or Export? If you exported, did you use "Best" as your setting.
i've done all sort of methods.. but yeah, always at highest quality if said method allows such settings..
It has lost some contrast and is a little blurry. It looks to my eye like the degradation you get from setting the jpeg quality a little low.
well, no.. it has gone from something that is in focus to something that is out of focus.. if i open the jpg in photoshop and do a 'save as' jpg with the quality set to 3 (with 12 being best), i will get similar results as putting the jpg in a pdf.. (albeit, a different type of quality loss but just as bad)
you've seen the comparison but just in case someone else wants to look, check here:
http://homepage.mac.com/jeffhammond/Sites/imgs/origVSpdf.jpg
that's a screenshot showing the jpg on the right and the pdf output on the left (both viewed in preview)..
it's unacceptable.. but like i said earlier, i think this is an inherent aspect of pdfs and i'd settle for a decent explanation as to why it happens..
OSX has some very smart frameworks built in, which do make bitmaps displayed on screen in Cocoa apps look better than they should. Not exactly helpful if you simply want to see it unenhanced.
but still, if that's the case, why isn't osx doing the same thing to the pdf.. (and also, i highly doubt the actual quality of the image is being shown in the pdf but when i view the jpg, i'm being shown an enhanced view to the point of making an out-of-focus image being an in focus image.

How can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?

Before the latest release of iMovie I easily managed to export a project on an external usb drive and re-import such project on a different Mac... In the latest iMovie version, however, I cannot see my drive any more..
So, how can I export a project on an external drive in the latest version of iMovie?
Thank you in advance

I'm not sure this is the best way, but you could create a new iMovie Library, move your project to that Library, then close the library. Then move the Library to your USB drive. Then, on the other Mac, in iMovie open the Library.
