Can I change PS layer comps to a single PDF?

I have a print project and it's easier to create it in photoshop then InDesign. It will be a booklet and printed digitally. They only accept PDFs. My question is can I turn my psd layer comps into
a single PDF for the printer?

J thanks for the tip. That works but not for my need. I want to export my layer comps as single pdf not contact sheet. Print quality. I read this elsewhere:
• Create an InDesign document.
• File>Place.
• Check, Show Import Options
• In that dialog box, Layers>Layer Comps. (specify which Layer Comp)
Do this for all your pages. Your Layer comps are Linked and can be easily updated or edited.
• Save document
• File>Export to create a multi page pdf.
This is perfect but seems buggy it works with some layer comps on others it doesn't show the correct one.

Can we change the layer's opacity?

Can we change the layer's opacity in flash CS4? Such as change the photoshop's layer's opactiy.

No and yes.
No. A layer is just for stacking things and organizing your artwork. So there is no way to change a whole layer.
Yes. Movie clip, graphic, and button symbols are the main paradigms in Flash and each of them can have their transparency altered. (In Flash is is called alpha.) So convert your artwork into a movieclip or graphic and then from the properties panel look for the color effects drop down and change the alpha.
Or you can draw your art with colors that already have an alpha value set.

How can I change a document from booklet to single pages

How can I change a document from booklet to single pages?

Very cumbersome.
How many pages?
Make a copy first.
In Acrobat use the Crop tool to crop half the width. (Pages > Crop Pages.)
For 11x17 to 8.5 x11 crop all even pages 8.5 left, all odd pages 8.5 right.
Do you have InDesign?
Create a new document correct to finished page size.
(Use Import Multi Page script to) Place all pages offset by the proper page amount.
Export new pdf.

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

Can't change parent/layer in CS3

I've been running into this problem alot in the last 6 months and I'm finally fed up. Basically, at some point while working on my CS3 projects, something unknown to me happens and I can no longer change a layers parent with the drop down box, same thing goes for layer control drop down boxes in the effects panel. Now, I can still change a layers parent with the pick whip, which is why I've just lived with the issue. But I've now run into a problem where I'm using a Layer Control expression effect and I cannot change the layer at all there. I click it and nothing happens, no response at all. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Please be more specific. Provide info about the number of layers per comp, comp settings, what items are referenced/ used using the layer controls etc.. Also provide screenshots (use the camera icon to attach)/ info about the structure of the project or the project itself. I've never encountered such issues myself, but it is imaginable that too many references/ too many layers create some sort of overflow that prevents the list from being drawn or populated correctly.

[OSX] Photoshop CC bug - can't change Shape Layer colour from layers panel

Hi there,
I have a persistent bug where after a certain amount of time (potentially after the iMac goes to sleep and reawakes?) that after creating a new Shape Layer I can no longer change it's colour from the layers panel. If I double-click it the colour palette appears and it seems to record the colour but the Shape Layer does not reflect this. If I go into the Shape Layer bar at the top of the screen I can still change the Fill and Stroke.
If I re-open the program it works again.

Had the same problem. Turns out I needed to use the Path Selection Tool and click the path right on the canvas, not in the layer panel. This re-enables the Live Shape properties.
Here is a short video with more details if you're interested -> http://www.michalkopec.com/blog

PS CS5 - Can I automate deleting layer comps?

I have about 50 files that need their layer comps deleted. I need a way to automate this. Is there a way?
Thanks

If your a programmer you may be able to write a Photoshop script to do that. One may have been written. Do a web search for a Photoshop script for deleting layer comps.

QuickView: How can I change the default full screen width of PDFs and JPGs

Hello,
I am very happy with the changes on the new OSX Lion. But I have a disappointment form QuickView. On Snow Leopard I will hit the "Option+Space" to QuickView files (mostly pdf and jpg) on full width and just scroll up and down with the mouse or the arrow keys. Now in Lion, when I press "Option+Space" I get the file on full height. This does not work for me because the information on screen is too small and I end up having to open the file on Preview.
How can I change this settings so they are like on Snow Leopard?
Thanks in advance.

Not only can you set global values for each of the three columns, but you can also set unique column widths on a per community basis like this:
.ptCommunity-1234 .columnOne { width: 635px; border-right:1px solid #CCCCCC; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 20px; }
.ptCommunity-1234 .columnTwo { width: 240px; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 8px;}
You can see here my community #1234 has a wide first column and a more narrow column two and even puts a little solid line between them.
It's all in the stylesheets on your imageserver at the path I mentioned earlier. Again, look at the experience definition object in your admin portal and look at the stylesheet name in the dropbox. The stylesheet name you see is mapped to the .css file using the community-themes.txt file in the same ...yadayada/common/public/css folder on the imageserver.
If you have, lets say, a mainstyle1-en.css that only has about a dozen lines dictating only the few items you mentioned before - then it has been stripped at one time because the default that comes w/ an original install is huge and a great starting point. It even has style tips and snippets in comment blocks to tutor you through its gargantuan variety of options.

MS Word Track Changes and Acrobat Merge into a Single PDF

I am using Word 2007 to create a group of about 50 files that are being collected with Acrobat 9 Standard Merge Files Into a Single PDF feature. I need to control whether the track changes in the word files are carried over to the PDF. Said another way, I want a singe PDF with the track changes showing and another PDF witht he track changes off. Currently, the track changes are being filtered out (accepted) in the merged document. Strangely, when printing a single document with track changes, the track changes show in the PDF.
I understand I could print each of my 50 files individually and then collect them with the merge feature, but I am hoping to take advantage of the automation.
How do I control the track changes printing / not printing?
Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the comment! If this is the best Acrobat can do, I will just have to lower my expectation.

SAP ADOBE PART list -Can we disable parts and make it a single PDF

Hi,
SAP came up with this New ADOBE spool technology .
I have used and generated this PDF spool using FP_JOB_OPEN but PDF is shown as PART LIST by default.
Is there any way we can disable this?
Because my user wants to see all parts in a single PDF (Single Part)
I have looked in sfpoutputparams but did'nt find anyhting whihc
Any help is appreciated.

Just wanted to close this thread with the resolution remarks
1) You cannot get rid of the Incoterm on the Auctions object without writing custom query
2) If you want to default some inco-term as none, create that, remove the rest and have that defaulted using Auction Templates

Can I change the layer depth of a Drawing?

I've got a spiral
function spiral(centerX, centerY, radius, sides, coils, rotation){
    with(this){
        moveTo(centerX, centerY);
        var awayStep = radius/sides;
        var aroundStep = coils/sides;// 0 to 1 based.
        var aroundRadians = aroundStep * 2 * Math.PI;
        rotation *= 2 * Math.PI;
        for(var i=1; i<=sides; i++){
            var away = i * awayStep;
            var around = i * aroundRadians + rotation;
            var x = centerX + Math.cos(around) * away;

Can I change what layer is used to name a Smart Object?

I really love smart objects, and in particular I appreciate being able to combine a layer and its adjustment layers into a single smart object. However, when I create smart objects from multiple layers this way, I end up with names like "Hue/Saturation 31" and "Curves 16". Is there a way to set Photoshop to name the smart objects based on the primary layer, so I don't lose the layer names that actually indicate what's in the smart object?
For example, I do a lot of editing and combining groups of "selfies" that people send me. Once I extract them from their backgrounds, I bring them into a single file, with each "selfie" named with the name of the person pictured. So, for example, I'd have a Jane Doe layer, a John Smith layer, etc. Then I add adjustment layers to each one, to match their exposure and color as much as possible. Then, if any of the adjustment layers are not applied evenly to the entire smart object, I combine the smart object and its adjustment layers into a new smart object, so I can move and scale it easily without messing up the alignment of the combined layers. However, then I have to go back to the original files to know who is who.
Smart objects work much better than linked layers, but all the extra steps necessary to re-name them are driving me nuts. Does anyone have a solution?
Paula

When I know i'll be transforming or adding additional filters, I prefer to go directly to creating smart objects rather than grouping them first, since the relevant layers are automatically "grouped" by being pulled into the smart object. My thought is that the default name for a smart object (or a group, for that matter) should be the lowest layer on the selected stack that has a non-default name, since in most cases that's the one you'd want to use for the new smart object. I don't know exactly how Photoshop recognizes layer names, but since it knows what number to assign to new layers or individual types of adjustment layers, it should also be able to recognize when a layer name is not a default name.

Preview issue: can't change the text of annotation taken in PDFs.

With Preview you can annotate PDFs (highlight or underline text, taking notes). It is a nice feature, and I use it a lot.
I've notice that after saving the changes made on a PDf, I can no longer modify the text in the notes (I can change the text, but these changes are not saved). To me it is a terrible limitation, I would say it is a BUG.
The workaround is to delete the note, and create a new one with the new text, but it's time consuming.
I hope this behavior will be changed soon.
Bye,
Giorgio

PDF documents were really never meant to be editable, especially not with a program named "Preview". Use a different format or some specialized software such as PDF Clerk Pro or Full Acrobat.

How can I change the settings to be lower case pdf not upper case PDF?

my processing site for our business will not allow documents to be saved in upper case PDF, but I can't find where to change it to lower case pdf....which I am told will fix the issue.

Are you talking about the file-name or the actual contents of the file?

Can I change the bit depth on images in pdf files?

I have a lot of pdf files that were scanned in 24 bit colour. I'd like to convert some of them to greyscale or black and white, and reduce the resolution to make them smaller.
I can see how to reduce the resolution with Save As Other/Optimized PDF, but there are no options there to reduce bit depth. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks, I think I've worked out how to use them. I found a fixup called "Convert color to B/W", but it seems to convert to greyscale, not black and white.
I found this page describing how to convert to both greyscale and monochrome. It says the only way to do monochrome is to convert to tiff first:
http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2009/10/converting-color-pdf-to-greyscale-pdf-an-update/
If that's the case then Acrobat Pro isn't going to help me, but that was written in 2009. Does anyone know if true black and white conversion has been made available since then?
