Best Acrobat distiller settings for creating a Web-Friendly pdf file-

Hi
Got a big project coming up where my crew will be trying to export our indesign layouts for print pieces to pdf files for uploading, viewing and printing from our company internet site. Our documents will be a mix of text and jpg and vector images, as they originally designed for printing. We'll be reformatting them to print on letter size, etc., then saving them for our web dev area.
Is the standard job option set, "Smallest File Size", the best way to go?
Or are there specific settings that I can customize in Acrobats (resolution, downsample to, monchormatic, etc) in the blanks and create a set of job options to distribute?

Hello,
We're pleased that you are using Acrobat software. The Smallest File Size preset is great for web and email. However, image resolution is low, which would affect printing quality. The Rich Content PDF preset might be a better choice. Did you look on this Help page for information?
Adobe PDF presets:

You can also create your own settings file. Here's the Help page:

Best settings for creating a web mov. from a motion project

Hi,
I have been trying to get a crisp image online, that doesn't take a age to load. I know it's possible as I have seen sites that seem to have their settings spot on.
I am using H264 codec, which greatly reduces the file size (although it's still about 4.5mb) and the once crisp looking motion project, now looks dull.
Can anyone help? I am very new to motion (and FCP). What codec should I set my sequence to before I import the motion project to FCP and then what settings should I use for compressor?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You could also try Squeeze.
I've read that for highly compressed H.264 (doesn't matter for files that aren't), Squeeze has better quality. (would certainly like to hear other's experience - Squeeze seems a lot slower to compress from the review)
Here's one review ( there's a more detailed review around somewhere )

What are best Mpeg encoder settings for making DVDs?

In switching from PP1.5 to CS3 the procedure is different for making DVDs and we have to encode mpeg files that later get picked up by Encore DVD build proces. What are the best mpeg encode settings for making the DVDs?
Thanks,
Chuck Taylor

Question:
If you are doing a video that is small enough that you are not worried about size, what is the absolute best quality encoder settings? Would a Continous Bitrate result in a higher quality file generally? VBR is for trying to make a smaller file I assume.
I'm frustrated with even white letters on black titles that have some flicker. I just don't seem to get the smooth quality I desire.
Should I look at a different encoder?
If you output PP3 to an AVI and then import it into encore, isn't there a reduction of Q. due to the save to the AVI file?
thanks.

Best in-Aperture settings for iPad

Hi,
Does anyone know what is the best in-Aperture settings for optimum iPad photo quality ? (Maybe able to do a 2x zoom without pixelating)
Currently my previews are set to *"Fit within 2560x2560"* and Quality is set to *"10 High"*
However, in this settings, i realized that iTunes automatically "OPTIMIZES" the pictures.
Therefore, has anyone found the perfect settings ?
Regards
Nycky

Doesn't matter, iTunes will still Optimise them. The process doesn't just resize them it also converts them to the format used on the iPad.

What are the best imovie, mpeg4 settings for making dvds?

What are the best imovie, mpeg4 settings for making dvds?

• iMovie'08 to 11
- Share to Media Browser - AND as Large (or Medium) - HD or other resolutions degrades the final result
iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tools of choise if quality is important as they all degrade the picture by discarding every second line when going from, Event's to Project's and this can not be mended.
iMovie HD6 and FinalCut delivers 100% of what any DVD-Authoring program needs.
• DVD is as standard MAX - intrelaced SD-Video - and can not be any better than this
• iDVD does only care about TIME / Duration as
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
• iDVD Does Region = Zero (to be played everywhere)
• Frame rate - DVD can be in two types PAL (25fps) and NTSC (29.97fps)
If Your material is 30fps then keep to NTSC (29.97fps), if 25fps keep to PAL.
One can feed iDVD the other frame rate - BUT RESULTING DVD WILL BE BAD
I use JES_Deinterlacer (free on Internet) to convert all material to the same and final frame rate
• NTSC - US etc
• PAL - EU etc

What is the best iTunes Equalizer settings for Bose QC15 Headphones?

What is the best iTunes Equalizer settings for the Bose QC15 Headphones? An image of those settings would be great.

I'm a bit of an audio geek, so I can tell you that YES whatever sounds right is what you want, but NO those settings are not very good. The general setting is "OK" but the values are extremely out of range. Take that setting and reduce the distance between the sliders and you're getting there. Look for example at how the other iTunes presets are made, the don't go that far from the horizontal middle, and for good reason.
When you play a recorded song, the song has usually been put through an extensive process of mixing, EQ and mastering before you got it, in order to get the best balance of all frequencies, to ensure the best sound accross a wide range of speakers and headphones, and to ensure the most important details and instruments are audible when played together.
All speakers are different, and that's where the idea of an EQ for the listener is introduced. The idea is to tweak the overall sound from your music player (iTunes) to compensate for the strengths and weaknesses of your speakers. Which to be honest, is a bit much to expect form a typical music consumer.
The iTunes EQ has a set of horizontal lines representing 3dB (volume steps) each. In my experience you should not boost or cut more than 6 db at the most - and that's a lot! I stay at around 0-4dB. The extreme options are there to cut noise from bad recordings or emphasize a detail you can't hear very well.
So here's basic EQ lesson:
The EQ represents the range frequencies in sound that the human ear can hear. Actually they go beyond that - most people cannot hear the far left and right frequencies. The range of frequencis start at "deep" or "low" frequencies at the left (bass) passing through the Midrange (midtones) in the center, to the (treble) at the right.
Your speaker has a limit to how many frequencies it can play at once before it starts to lose detail - meaning one sound will drown out in order to make room for another. So don't over-EQ your sound or it'll ruin it.
How to tweak an EQ:
1) Start by playing a well-produced piece of modern music - it'll most likely be well mixed and employ a wide range of frequencies. I'm into heavy metal but for this I'd probably go with some average pop music, because metal is so noisy it gets hard to pick out the details.
2) Set you EQ to FLAT - zero all accross the board. It'll sound pretty flat and boring unless your speakers are very "flavoured" or "colored" already.
Sliding any of the EQ bar up, will increase or boost the volume of the frequency the bar represents. You can't really add frequencies that aren't there already - you're just adding noise in that freqeuncy and that will "fill up" the available frequencies on your speaker, causing that "drowned out" effect I was talking about.
Instead, slide them down from the center, and you're cutting the volume instead. This is better because it'll leave more "room" for the other frequencies. You can always use the Preamp slider at the end if you're worried about loudness (but I wouldn't).
3) Start by tweaking the 500 and 1K slider. This represents the middle of your ears' range of hearing and the most noticable change. It should most likely go downwards - this will take the "canned" sound out of your music and that'll be apparent quickly. Go ahead and slide that down as far as -6dB.
4) Now work outwards from the center forming a "v" shape, where the top tips of the V end at the 64 slider and the 8k slider. The very far left and right sliders (32 and 16K) should dip down again to about 0bB. Trust me, these are almost non-important in most music. You can tweak thos last if you feel it's needed.
5) now it's time to start playing round with the V shape. Go ahead and try sliding the sliders a little up or down between 125-250 and 1K to 4K. You may find that some need to move a lot out of the average "V" shape before the sound is good. This is what my iTunes EQ settings ended up looking like for my Motörheadphones "Motorizer" headphones:
Hope it helps.

This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.

I have a postscript file which has been created from secure or encrypted (opening restriction) pdf.
Now when i use distiller to convert this postscript file to pdf then distiller cannot produce a pdf file.
The log file contains following text:
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
1) Is there a way to convert this postscript file into pdf ?
I have a limitation that i cannot remove security from secure pdf.
2) Do distiller provide any settings which can be changed to convert
this kind of ps(from secure pdf) to pdf.
3) Can we provide password to distiller during process of conversion to
pdf.
4) If above methods do not work then is there a way we can
programatically use Distiller Api's for conversion of postscript (in case
of postscript created from secure pdf) to pdf
Like methods 'FileToPdf' etc.
Thanks in advance.

I am facing a similar problem.
My workflow dictates that I convert the input PDF job initially to PS and finally back to PDF. If the input PDF file is secure (it's not encrypted - you will still be able to open the document), the redistillation of PS to PDF fails while using Normalizer 6.0 && 9.0 libraries. If I use Normalizer 505 library, the redistillation succeeds. I have checked with the same generated PS on both Distiller 6.0 && 9.0, and both the versions fail to reconvert as well. I am a little surprised that 6.0 and 9.0 will fail to do something that 505 library manages.
Any suggestions?

There is a commercial tool called plpdf, but i can't tell if its good..
Also possible would be to create an XML-FO with sql or pl/sql.
And then use Apache-FOP to convert the XML-FO into a pdf, rtf or whatever you want.
No extra costs but the effort to learn a bit about the fo elements/syntax.
I think the newer Apex-Versions can doing something like this also. Maybe additionally ask in the Apex Forums.

Create and edit a PDF file

Hi,
Still very new on the Mac - how do I create and edit a pdf file on my iMac?
Thanks for any info.

Creating a PDF is really simple. From any application choose the print command (Command P) and in the lower left of the box you will see PDF, click PDF and then choose what you want to do. It will look similar to:
For editing PDF files you can do some basic annotation editing using the Preview app which you will find in your Applications folder. However if you want to do more sophisticated editing then you will need to purchase an editor from the Mac App Store. Open the store type PDF Editor in the search field and you will find quite a few to choose from ranging from $2.99 to $99.99 depending on your needs.

I have acrobat 11 standard is it possible to convert pdf files to word files ?

I have acrobat 11 standard is it possible to convert pdf files to word files ? or is it just possible in the Pro version.

It sounds to me like you're using Reader, not Acrobat. Make sure you open
the PDF file in Acrobat, and then go to File - Save As Other - Microsoft
Word.
