Can you send PDFs made in Photoshop to a printer or should they always be InDesign?

I'm new to printing and I was wondering whether PDFs made in Photoshop ok to send to a printers or should they always be made in InDesign?

A PDF file is a container file. It holds whatever you save to it, which can be any combination of vector images, raster images, fonts, etc.
A PDF file saved from Photoshop is nothing more than a PDF container file with its only content being an embedded raster image. It won't print one bit different or better than if you had saved the image as a TIFF or high quality JPEG.
If that image was created at 72 dpi, then the PDF saved out of Photoshop will print like any 72 dpi image; lousy. As Cozmicone mentioned, typical print resolution for a raster image is what matters. Standard in the printing industry is 300 dpi.

    Just wondering if I will be able to send audio messages to friends with Android phones.

    Not with the Messages app. The option will only appear if you are messaging another iOS user. There may be other apps that will let you do that cross platform. Check the App Store.

    Identity cards are not things individuals typically make.
    You can get yourself into big trouble forging fake IDs.

  • Can you send/export a still frame from an FCP sequence?

    Can you send/export a still frame from FCP as a picture to the desktop? Doesn't matter if it is a .jpeg, .tiff, . bitmap
    G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Dual 1.8

    serach the forum for any of the hundreds of posts detailing this process -
    my personal favorite is shift-N, apple-9, type name, drag to bin, batch export.
    The best thing about the batch export queue is you can set up a batch with the file format and destination folder and then keep adding new clips/stills to export.
    Hope this helps -

  • Can you send a code for iTunes and have it still work

    Can you send a code for iTunes and have it still work

    Did you get this in an email from Apple? Are there instructions in the email?
    Typically the way that you redeem a gift card is to go to either the app store or iTunes - go to the featured tab in the app store or the music tab in iTunes - swipe to the bottom of the screen. Tap on Reedem at the bottom and go from there.
    OK. I'm a little dense tonight. Now I get it. Like Meg said, you will know soon enough.

  • Can you send slideshows as an email attachment?

    can you send slideshows as an email attachment? Please provide the steps if it is possible, thank you

    Yes, but you shouldn't.
    Here's how.
    Export the Slideshow to the FInder - a process that will make a QuickTime movie of it.
    Attach that movie to the email. Send
    Why not? Videos are very large files. Most Internet providers have a limit on the largest file you can send. Sending one too large means it can bounce back to you. ALso, even if the other person can receive it, downloading large files via email is slow, and can even cause crashes on some email apps on older systems.
    Intead of emailing it, upload it to DropBox, YouTube, Vimeo, or any other sharing site and send the person a link.
    Then they can download it themselves

  • Can you send your iPad to Apple to fix a cracked screen?

    Can you send a ipad (3rd gen) with a cracked screen to Apple, will they fix it and how much will it cost?

    The standard 1-year Apple Care warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship, not damage due to accidents.
    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

  • Can you send FCP project files through email?

    If all of a projects original capture footage is copied to another hard drive and then opened with the copied saved project file on another computer, will the "new" copied project work correctly?
    Can you send project files back and forth through email if your both working with the same exact copied footage?
    powermac g5 2.0 DC; powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I use iChat to send project files. I've even used it to send a missing media file here and there (overnight, of course). < </div>
    iChat is tremendously under-used and misunderstood application. Being able to transfer h-u-g-e files without FTP, connecting to a server, connecting to the target Shared folder or drop box or stooping to the hassles of email is only one fascinating aspect of this cool little tool.
    The Macintosh OS is full of such things.

  • HT1355 Can you send and receive text messages in airplane mode?

    Can you send and receive text messages while in airplane mode?

    No. Regular SMS's require a cellular connection. However, iMessage will work in Airplane Mode, as all that requires is an Internet connection. You can turn WiFi back on while in Airplane Mode.
