Best practice export PDFs for Pad viewing?

Have an emergency question here:
A client has asked us to find out what export settings our former graphic designer used when he took copies of the client's InDesign files and exported PDF files that were higher quality than those exported by the client's in-house designer. Our designer has since moved to another state.
So, I'm asking here for advice we can relay to the client. His large job is due tomorrow. Although we'll take the PDFs and output them for Web use, this is not the usual stripped-down to basics situation. The results will have to look good on an iPad first of all (also on on Web pages), which means the PDFs we start from need to be higher quality than those usually destined for Web use. The entire publication is photo-intensive with many people pictures where clean appearance is important. Of course the pages also contain text, so that has to be crisp as well.
As I said, we lost our InDesign guru, and the client's designer is being faced with a new challenge. The client is calling me and asking How soon? How soon?
Help? Thanks in advance.

Steve: If these are bitmaps inside a PDF that's going to be viewed on the iPad, you cannot rely on its "native resolution". Think about this: What if the original page size of this PDF is 5.5" x 8"? What if it is 20" x 32"? Which one will show the images "at their native resolution"?

  • Best Practice: Export unrendered for internet

    Hi
    As I recall, in previous versions of FCPX  it was considered best practice, at least for exports for web, to export unrendered.
    Still true? Ever true for all other export reasons?
    I want to post a rough of a film on youtube, unlisted, for a few friends to comment on.

    Btw, always seems like when I open my browser while fcpx is open, I get problems and have to delete my prefs to get back to normal. Any reason why? Just curious.

  • Best Export Options for QT5 Viewing

    I run a site for Mac OS 7 users and want to upload some videos there in QuickTime 5 format (the latest version for Mac OS 7). I am working on a G4 running Tiger and QuickTime 7 Pro.
    What are some of your opinions on the best export options for QT5 viewing, distrubed over the internet, at say 320x240?

    Alas, the data rate of these two video codecs must be a lot higher (at least 25% more than the more modern codecs) to ensure a good visual experience.
    A neat html "trick" is to encode with these higher data rates but at a smaller dimension. Instead of 320X240 use 160X120. The smaller dimensions help keep the file size down. During html playback use the object and embed tag to scale="tofit" and enlarge the playback area.
    Your src (source) tag dimensions are larger than the original source file. Using scale="tofit" tags the file plays at the designated size instead of the original (160X120) size.
    The pages hosted for .Mac users (iWeb and Homepage) use the opposite tag (scale="aspect") that fit the source to the template of the page. One of mine as an example:

  • IDCS3 - PDF Export Preferences for Initial View?

    Is there a way to set preferences for an exported PDF's initial view? I'd like my PDFs to open as single-page (not continuous), sized to Fit In Window, without changing them manually in Acrobat. Thanks for any ideas you can offer!

    That must be done in Acrobat.

  • Any known security best practices to follow for FMS deployment

    Hi all,
    We have recently deployed Flash Media Streaming server 3.5.2 and Flash Media Encoder on a Windows 2003 machine. Do you guys know of any security best practices to follow for the FMS server deployment on a Windows machine, could you please point me to that resource.

    Hi
    I will add some concepts, I am not sure how all of them work technically but there should be enough here for you to
    dig deeper, and also alot of this is relevant to your environment and how you want to deploy it.
    I have done a 28 server deployment, 4 origin and 24 edge servers.
    All the Edge servers on the TCP/IP properties we disabled file and printer sharing. Basically this is a way in for hackers and we disabled this only on the edge servers as these are the ones presented to the public.
    We also only allowed ports 1935, 80, 443 on our NICs. Protocol numbers are 6 and 17, this means that you are allowing UDP and TCP. So definitely test out your TCP/IP port filtering until you are confortable that all your connection types are working and secure.
    Use RTMPE over RTMP, as it is there to be used and I am surprised not more people use it. The problem as with any other encryption protocol, it may cause higher overhead on resources of the servers holding the connections.
    You may want to look at SWF verification. In my understanding, it works as the following. You publish a SWF file on a website. This is a source code that your player uses for authentication. If you enable your edge servers to only listen for authentication requests from that SWF file, then hopefully you are really lessening the highjacking possibilities on your streams.
    If you are doing encoding via FME then I would suggest that you download the authentication plugin that is available on the Flash Media Encoder download site.
    There are other things you can look at making it more secure like adaptor.xml, using a front end load balancer, HTML domains, SWF domains,
    Firewalls and DRM.
    I hope this helps you out.

    Which version are you setting up and what are the requirements? IF you are discussing the use of NIC bonding for high availability beginning in 11.2.0.2 there is a concept of "High Availability IP" of HAIP as discussed in the pre-installation chapters,
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/prelinux.htm, section 2.7.1 Network Hardware Requirements.
    In essence, using HAIP eliminates the need to use NIC bonding to provide for redundancy.
