Brochure Changes Size when exported

When I a. export pages document to pdf or b. view pages doc in print preview it shrinks the actual content and gives it a huge margin on the top and left. I want the content to take up the entire 8.5 x 11 space.
I used the classic brochure template - which looks like it should be sized for 8.5x11. What to do-what to do???

KW,
The point system is broken in the forum software. But thanks for the thought.
By the way, I love you, too. But we've got to stop meeting like this. My keystroke-capture utility is starting to get suspicious.

Would there be any reason for a hotspot created in InDesign to change size when exported as a SWF?

Hello
I've got a 280-page InDesign (CS5) document with invisible buttons/ hotspots throughout which I want to export as a SWF.
Once exported, the buttons/ hotspots appear to be sized/ positioned correctly on the first dozen or so pages. Afterwards, the hotspots are consistently sized and positioned incorrectly over the buttons; so that if you were to try and click on the button, you wouldn't actually be clicking on the hotspot at all.
Things I've tried so far:
Exporting the pages in smaller batches, rather than as a single 280-page file
Export the SWF at different sizes
Checking that the hotspost don't have any blank areas inside their boxes (in the same way you can move an image inside a picture box and have blank areas)
I've hit a wall with this – any help/ suggestions you're able to offer would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks, but I have searched here but have not found or heard a direct answer to my question as stated above...

Wrong size when exporting to jpg

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Illustrator, would really appreciate all the help and tips
I'm trying to create a wallpaper of certains size. I'm creating an artboard with dimentions 1024px by 768 px, all is fine. However, then I export my artwork into jpeg using File -> Export option. I'm getting a file which is 4267px by 3200px. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and it's very frustrating! Would really appreciate any help.
I'm exporting with the following settings:
Quality: 10
Color Model: CMYK
Method: Baseline (Standard)
Resolution Depth: High
Options: Anti-Alias and Embed ICC Profile are ticked.

Another question along the lines. Is it better to create a file with the 72 PPI from the beginning or to change it when exporting to jpeg?
Illustrator files have no resolution, as measured in PPI, until the art is rasterized. This means that the only time you can make the art 72 ppi is when you export to JPG. The exceptions would be anything that is rasterized (Object > Rasterize) or any raster effect such as Drop Shadow, any Glow effects, or anything below the fold in the Effect menu. Effects are rasterized according to Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings.
I often find Photoshop does a better job rasterizing than Illustrator. You can open the AI file in Photoshop and rasterize at any resolution, then resample to 72 ppi. I suggest using 288 ppi, which is exactly four time 72 ppi, then either resample or use Save for Web and Devices and scale to 25%.

Why do windows change size when clicked?

I have created a PDF file with links and some windows change size when I click the link.

What is the version of PDF viewer application, if you this is the issue with few links, please try to manually edit them. Here the link to refer : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7cb3.w.h tml

Links change size when clicked

I have a site done in Dreamweaver CS5 that the links in the navbar change size when clicked. The bar is set to 95% but the links look like they are abound 50% when the mouse button is pressed. All references to the size of the links in the HTML and CSS Page Properties are set to 95%. None of the other links properties; a, a:visited, a:hover, a:active, a:link, a:focus change the size.
I've looked for several hours for solutions. Anybody got any ideas? BTW, this is my first site in Dreamweaver.

I don't see any change in font-size in Firefox 3.6 on Win. But your code is a bit confusing.
Change this:
a {
    font-size: 95%;
a {
    font-size: 95%;
a:visited {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #960;
a:hover {
    color: #2A3FFF;
    text-decoration: none;
a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #626262;
a:active {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #626262;
    font-size: 95%;
To this:
a {font-size: 95%; text-decoration: none}
a:link {color: #626262;}
a:visited {color: #960;}
a:hover {color: #2A3FFF;}
a:active, a:focus {color: #626262;}
The order in which link styles are defined matters in some browsers. LiVHA is an easy memory device for link, visited, hover, active.

Reduce Doc Size When Exporting

Is there a way to reduce a page size when exporting from InDesign? I have a 20 x 30 poster want to export at 50% and make the pdf @ 10 x 15. Thanks.

by print to pdf do U mean make a ps file instead of exporting, correct?
Well, here's the thing... the orig question was a generalization of what we are trying to do.
The actual file is 19 pgs of panels that are 20 x 30. We need to make pdfs for the client to look at on screen. The file is huge when we try to make pdfs by exporting... even at the smallest file size and then reduce file in Acrobat. We found that reducing the doc size & making pdf yields a much smaller and more manageable file size, but it takes very long to postscript. We were just trying to avoid that step. Thought for sure the was a way to reduce the output size when exporting.

Pages changes the page size when exporting to pdf

When exporting a pages document (size 8.5w x 7.0h) to pdf it changes the size to (8.5w x 11.0h) any suggestions on exporting it correctly.
If not is there a way to resize it once it is a pdf or other software to convert it correctly?
I am using Pages 09 with Lion 10.7.1

Hi Christine
I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
Can you please let me know the version of CR you are using?
You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

How to maintain pixel size when exporting?

When exporting an edited image (ex: 20 MB) from Aperture to a desktop folder, I choose file>export>versions>jpeg original. When I open the exported image in the desktop folder (it opens in preview), the Tools/Inspector window says that the image is now only 2MB. This has not always happened. Can someone tell me what I might be doing or not doing that is causing this, or what settings I need to change?
Thank you.

golindy,
JPEG is a lossy format that relies on two ways of reducing the file size. The first is the lossy part that throws away data that is percieved to be unimportant for human vision, the resulting data is then further compressed losslessly using the same type of compression zip uses (this is why zipping a JPEG doesn't lead to further size reduction).
The more you throw away in the first part, the more likely the image is to suffer from 'compression artefacts'. The number you select on export determines how much data gets thrown away.
I don't know what '12' officially means for Apple, but from eyeballing files, it seems like it throws away pretty close to zero. So a file output with 12 is top quality.
Aperture has always worked the same way here, it hasn't changed during any update.
However, some things that may affect it are:
1) The effeciciency of the both compression algorithms seems to improve over time.
So a year ago, a 20 Mega Pixel image might compress down to a 5MB file using a quality setting of 10. Today that very same file may compress down to a 4MB file at quality 10. But it's important to note, the quality of the file will be the same, quality 10. All that has happened is the more efficient algorithm has allowed an extra 1MB of file space saving.
2) The raw converters periodically get improved with new rendering. One area that has continually improved in Apeture is noise supression and more natural sharpening.
These impact the first part of the compression process. A noisy image with harsh shapening will compress less than a clean image with more subtle sharpening. So better raw processing can also impact the exported size. Note, this one works in both directions, an improved conversion that resolves more details will output a larger file size, whereas an improved conversion that gives less noise will output a smaller file size.
So in your case, I think what was happening was you were not losing quality, just gaining file size efficiency, and now you have changed to quality 12, you are exploiting that file space saving by now outputting higher quality files.

Crystal Report 2008 doesn't set page size when export to excel file

Hi,
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Developer edition.
At Crystal report design time setting the below page setup:
Page Options -
to A3(297X420 mm)
Orientation --- Landscape
and using the following code in .net (c#)
I am using below format options to export in excel in .net 2005
ReportDocument oReport = new ReportDocument();
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA3;
if (aParamlist.ReportFormat == ReportFormatEnum.MicrosoftExcel)
ExcelFormatOptions excel = new ExcelFormatOptions();
excel.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = false;
// Use detail section one as a guideline to determine column width
excel.ExcelAreaGroupNumber = 1;
//excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
// Prepare exporting options
ExportOptions export = oReport.ExportOptions;
export.FormatOptions = excel;
export.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
oReport.Export();
when export to excel it doesn't set the Paper Size to A3(297X420 mm).
Is there any way to set the paper size while export to excel or in other formats also????
Thanks & Regds,

Hi,
thanks for your email.
This is not happening in development environment.It is setting the paper size anf paper orientation properly.
this is happening in the production environment where only redist installation is done.
thanks

Wrong aspect ratio or size when exporting Pal anamorph with ProRes codec!

Hi community,
I have a problem exporting a spot in the right format. The customer/the upload service provider needs PAL anamorph 16:9 in ProRes codec.
When I export my FULLHD spot to these setting, the aspect ratio/the spot size turns out wrong. When opened in QT Pro the size is 720x576, what is correct, but the anamorph size quotet in brackets reads different values, for example 1020x576 but never 1024x576, what would be correct.
The service providers online software refuses to work with these wrong nunmbers...!?
The same export settings with QT Animation codec is correct. Also when exporting the same composition with two export modules, the Animation codec is OK, the ProRes codec is wrong. No matter whether I export a PAL-format comp or stretch it while exporting the FullHD comp.
Working with After Effects CC.
Any ideas?

Don't resize the output but instead drop your full HD comp in a standard PAL widescreen comp, fit the HD comp horizontally and then render the new comp without using any resize controls.
Second option, Render your full HD comp to a frame based production master codec (prorez) and then use the Adobe Media Encoder and setup a PAL Widescreen Square Pixel preset. Here's my Pal Widescreen Prorez 422 HQ preset. It is what I use for all requests for Pal ProRez from my clients.

Large PDF file sizes when exporting from InDesign

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew why some PDF file sizes are so large when exporting from ID.
I create black and white user manuals with ID CS3. We post these online, so I try to get the file size down as much as possible.
There is only one .psd image in each manual. The content does not have any photographs, just Illustrator .eps diagrams and line drawings. I am trying to figure out why some PDF file sizes are so large.
Also, why the file sizes are so different.
For example, I have one ID document that is 3MB.
Exporting it at the smallest file size, the PDF file comes out at 2MB.
Then I have another ID document that is 10MB.
Exporting to PDF is 2MB (the same size as the smaller ID document)... this one has many more .eps's in it and a lot more pages.
Then I have another one that the ID size is 8MB and the PDF is 6MBwhy is this one so much larger than the 10MB ID document?
Any ideas on why this is happening and/or how I can reduce the file size.
I've tried adjusting the export compression and other settings but that didn't work.
I also tried to reduce them after the fact in Acrobat to see what would happen, but it doesn't reduce it all that much.
Thanks for any help,
Cathy

> Though, the sizes of the .eps's are only about 100K to 200K in size and they are linked, not embedded.
But they're embedded in the PDF.
> It's just strange though because our marketing department as an 80 page full color catalog that, when exported it is only 5MB. Their ID document uses many very large .tif files. So, I am leaning toward it being an .eps/.ai issue??
Issue implies there's something wrong, but I think this is just the way
it's supposed to work.
Line drawings, while usually fairly compact, cannot be lossy compressed.
The marketing department, though, may compress their very large TIFF
files as much as they like (with a corresponding loss of quality). It's
entirely possible to compress bitmaps to a smaller size than the
drawings those bitmaps were made from. You could test this yourself.
Just open a few of your EPS drawings in Photoshop, save as TIFF, place
in ID, and try various downsampling schemes. If you downsample enough,
you'll get the size of the PDF below a PDF that uses the same graphics
as line drawing EPS files. But you may have to downsample them beyond
recognition...

Minimising PDF file size when exported form KN on iPad

Hi guys
when exporting KN presentations as PDF's from my iPad is there any way to reduce file size?
I'm working in KN 2.5.1

There are no quality settings in exporting to PDF on the iPad, these settings are available on the Mac version.

Photos and layouts change size when adding photos in book layout

I am using the Classic layout to create books.
Sometimes, when I move a photo down into the layout, unpredictable things happen. For example, when I drag a photo down onto the page layout, sometimes the photo will change sizes, and sometimes the layout will move around (esp. with 3 or 4 images on a page). On a page with a single image, sometimes the photo comes in large, and sometimes it shrinks. On a 3 photo per page layout, sometimes the layout starts with 3 photo boxes in a row. I can add one or two, and then I add another (could be the 1st, 2nd or 3rd - it's the image file that I think triggers the change) and all the boxes scramble and instead of a row of 3 equal-sized boxes, now I have a page with 1 big and 2 small boxes. Totally unpredictable!
Is there any way to control this?
All the photo files I'm starting with are high resolution tiffs, around 8 inches square (most are squares, not 4x6 snapshots) at 300 dpi.
I have had this issue on 3 computers (and probably 2 different versions of iPhoto): a 2-year-old G5, and two brand new iMacs.
Any help or advice is welcome. Thanks.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you Control-click on the square photo in a book frame you can select the "Fit photo to frame size" option and the entire image will be contained in the frame. there will be some white space on the short side.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Desktop icons change size when I move the cursor

Intermittently, when I move the cursor with my trackpad, the desktop icons change size—minimize going from 44 to 16 icon size. This happens with the Finder in the foreground or background.
I think there's a fix, but I cannot find it.
All help appreciated,
Bill

Press Command-Option-8. Someone apparently turned on Zoom. (See System Preferences > Universal Access and click the Options button next to Zoom for more information.)
