Convert PDF into a High Res Graphic for Printing

Hi there,
I have to convert a pdf into a high resolution graphic meant to be printed on a bulletin board about 300dpi. What is the best way to do this? Here is the link to the pdf to what i am referring to, just in case you want to get an idea of what i am working with:
http://desmondhotelsalbany.com/pdf/FloorPlan.pdf
Would it be best to use Illustrator for vector quality, and use the pen tool to trace over into a new layer and save in 300dpi? Can I use a wand tool so that everything gets traced in a snap?
Now, I am a Photoshop boy and was wondering if this can be done using the pen and saving in a resolution of 300? The graphic isn't too intricate, basically black lines and text. So maybe Photoshop could work, even though not ideal. What do you think?
I really appreciate help, I am a web graphic designer and print is out of my element. Thanks!!

Apparently parts of the the file are already vector-based, so those only should require minor adjustments. The most obvious failure here is, that the contours are broken up in separate segments and thus have "dents and gaps". This will look rather ugly, but should be possible to fix with a little patience by joining the ends. Other parts will most definitely have to be re-traced. The file seems to be based on TIFF files from a CAD program and only bits and pieces have been covered up and adjusted with vector elements as the project evolved. If you can be 100% sure, that the billboard will be inkjet-printed, it would be safe to attempt cleaning it up in PS, if not, and foil labeling is used, then you will not be able to avoid vectorizing it.

  • How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0?

    How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat
    Capture 3.0?
    Our division is digitizing it's files, and we've been using
    Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (2). We've 'scanned-in' several hundred
    documents, but they have been saved as .pdf files (which are
    currently not 'searchable', as they are only scanned images).
    We just received the Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0 program, and
    we were told that we would be able to scan-in any new documents and
    save them both as .pdf and OCR documents (Optical Character
    Recognition). Therefore, we were told, we would be able to search
    through the body of the document, using OCR, and not just through
    the document filename, as we had been doing before.
    HOWEVER, we don't know how to use this new OCRing program.
    Also, we don't know how to convert the .pdf documents which we've
    already scanned into OCR recognizable documents.
    Is someone able to assist us here in this forum?

  • I am wondering what upgrades I need in order to convert PDFs into another format and compress the size of a PDF (if this is possible)?

    I want to be able to convert PDFs into another format and I know this can be achieved with a small upgrade. However I am also looking for the ability to compress the size of PDFs, if this is at all possible.

    You can use Acrobat Standard for this.

  • I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

    I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

    I went to the site and did exactly as the 'support' said. I tried three PDF documents for conversion to Word. On clicking 'convert', the last window gives the file with .doc suffix. After I save and open it the window says, "The XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents." Under "Details", it says, "Incorrect document syntax".
    Please guide me further.
    Thanks

    I'm not one to spend money when it is not necessary.
    Try deskUNPDF for Mac as suggested. As I said you can do a few trials per document. You won't know if you don't try. If it is only text then it probably would do fine. However you need to look at the different things you want to convert, try it out and see if it does the job. Warning: The limit in the trial is 4 single and separate pages per document so you may need to divide you document into smaller documents. If it is not doing what you want then maybe Adobe Writer is what you need, particularly if you do a lot of PDF conversions.
    As a basic document converter I would certainly use it again. I have to say I have come across a lot of useful freebie info and good software sites in this forum.

  • How to convert pdf into html?

    Hi,
    I am an amateur ASP developer. I want to create a pdf viewer like http://www.scribd.com. But I want to convert PDF into HTML on the server and then display it to the client. I want to convert into HTML so that it can be browsed from mobile devices also. And I need the text to be searched client side.

  • Can one convert .pdf into .numbers?

    I want to convert .pdf files into .numbers. I've heard it is not possible, but I'd like to confirm it

    Thanks for your answer.
    Yes, that seems to be right. However, I now believe that what one can do is convert .pdf into .xls which Numbers, more or less well, can read, and then save the file as .numbers.

  • Why can I not convert pdf into word file?

    why can I not convert pdf into word file?

    This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.

    3.) Select this element and use the "Hyperlinks" command in the upper command strip to link the element to the highres image you have selected in 1.)

  • How to Offer High Res Image for Download

    On a gallery site I would like to offer two or three high-res
    images for people to download as a sample. The images are pretty
    good with a lot of detail and it would enable viewers to see the
    texture and other detail in the artists work. Can someone give me a
    nudge to work out how to do it and are there any things to look out
    for - especially security issues.
    Thanks
    Martin

    Zip the high-res images and link to them as you would to any
    other file.

  • Hi, am trying to convert pdf into word. I have 30 days trial, however, everytime i try to convert it's asking to subscribe, Why is that, what is the purpose of the free trial?

    Hi, am trying to convert pdf into word. I have 30 days trial, however, everytime i try to convert it's asking to subscribe, Why is that, what is the purpose of the free trial?

    Hi oj1,
    Since you mention a free trial, I'm guessing that you have an Acrobat trial (Adobe doesn't offer free trials of the Acrobat.com online services).
    If you do have Acrobat, you can use the Save As command in that application to save directly to Word format.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

    I am very familiar with FW but I do not like Photoshop,
    however I have both I preffer to use FW. As I have seen on one
    presentation new FW CS3 has CMYK pallete so my question is: can FW
    CS3 be used for preparation of graphic for printing or what are the
    obstacles? After preparing images in FW I will use InDesign for
    text or maybe the text in FW is wector and maybe I could use FW
    including text and not to use INDEsign far small projects? Does
    anyone has any experience with this subject?

    Fireworks does not operate or export in CMYK color space. It
    was
    developed for screen images only, and operates and exports in
    RGB color
    space. It is not recommended that you use it in preparation
    of images
    for print. You mentioned that you don't like photoshop. You
    might like
    Illustrator better.
