Converted pdf shows graphics with poor resolution

Hi,
Using keynote for iCloud, I noticed that while inserted graphics (and effects like shadow etc) appears fine in the browser screen, if I open the
PDF generated file (Acrobat Reader) the graphics are quite poor (jagged lines etc.). Any suggestions ?
Cheers,
Marco

I have a desktop iMac,within a yr old, I had iPhoto 9,downloaded to iPhoto 11, now lost my export to Shutterfly link, & looks like all my photos went to thumbnails, with poor resolution...help!!

I have a desktop iMac OSX 10.6.8, had iPhoto 9 & downloading software update to iPhoto 11, (9.1.5??) I can't find the way to reset up the "Export to Shutterfly mode" and it looks like all my previous photos went to a thumbnail size...with now poor resolution. If I would have know my pictures were going to turn into poor quality pictures, I never would have done the software update. Need a real person to talk to. This complicated method is not user friendly.

Screen turns black and returns with an orange tinted window with poor resolution

Im running on a Presario S6700NX. Windows-xp It has been running proper until about two weeks ago. Nothing has been added or taken from the system. However, lately I've been getting a black screen that last several seconds and when my window reappears however, It's with an orange tint and with very poor resolution. Several seconds later my window reappears with the proper resolution. This happens whether I'm running an application or not and it's continuous. I've searched microsoft knowledge base and I've gotten no response it's as if it's never happened to anyone else. So now I'm trying HP Forum in the hopes that someone out there may have encountered a similar problem or has heard of a simular situation. This is a cry for HELP. Please if anyone out there can help me it would be deeply appreciated. I want to give my thank you beforehand and hope for a response.

@jck & @awaller well not literally every other time, it occurs randomly. sometimes I can work for like an hour or as long as I want and nothing happens, sometimes after 5 minutes *boom* the screen goes black, except of one column with random pixels, i tried to switch to a different console with ctrl+alt+(F1-F6) but it did not work...
do you know where I have to look for errors? I also tried to reinstall the drivers, but it did not help..
I see something like this on my T420 Thinkpad sometimes. It turns out the backlight is just going out. I'm reluctant to say it's a kernel issue and not hardware - I have vague memories of it happening on Windows 7 as well, but that was years ago ...
It happens on Arch and Debian definitely, and the following fix works on both for me:
Opening a terminal (which I have bound to a key) and running "xset dpms force off", then moving the mouse or something to wake the display again brings it back to light.
Try that the next time it happens and see if it helps. Will at least confirm whether it's the same issue as me or not.

PDF file graphics are poor - AI to Word to Acrobat

I've been learning to use AI to build the simple, mostly vector, grapics I want available to Word and other end points like web. Sizing and then exporting AI files to PNG and then using those directly in web apps works fine.
The story isn't so good for grapics put into Word.
After trying a number of options, taking the graphic to a TIFF worked best for viewing in Word. But when converted to a PDF the images (lines, text) errodes noticably. I'm assuming that's because I'm having Acrobat convert a raster image. I'm also assuming that manipulating the image (e.g. line width, font size, etc.) will not improve things although, if I'm wrong, I'd like to hear back.
I decided that getting the vector objects into EMF files would help but that actually produced poor results when viewed in Word.
It may be the method I'm using so if there's some wisdom about AI to Word to Acrobat I'd appreciate hearing it.
Thanks
Tom

I do not use WORD, but another word processor that allows me to see the format of the graphics as bitmaps or metafiles. The imported vector files are metafiles (this is a form of vector file used in Windows. Imported bitmap files are kept as bitmap files. There are some conversions that depend primarily on the compatibility of the graphic vector form and the windows metafile format. The results are generally excellent for me. What you could do is import in general formats like eps (include a bitmap if you want to see it in word and print to PDF to see the actual vector form), an emf file saved from AI (it should be retained as a vector form), and a bitmap, then also include clipboard versions of the same files from the original vector and bitmap files. You can judge for yourself. I am still interested in the comment from the other individual about not using the clipboard and why.
EPS is a vector graphic format developed by Adobe (as I recall, would have to look at my graphic book to be sure) along with PS files. It allows a bitmap preview file to be included -- what you see on screen in WORD. EMF files should be able to be loaded from the insert pictures menu in WORD (it is there in my WORD 2007 along with EPS and WMF files -- I do not there are any other formats that support vectors there). WMF is the old Windows MetaFile format and EMF is the Enhanced Windows MetaFile format. Actually, EMF and WMF files can include both vector and bitmap formats, similar in a sense to what Adobe can do I guess with PDF. The standard EMF is what is actually used in the clipboard. You can get more info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Metafile. A similar discussion of EPS file is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encapsulated_PostScript. The main difference between the EMF and clipboard in WORD is that they are scaled differently when inserted. One problem with vector graphics in WORD 2007 and 2010 is that fonts of the text are not embedded. So someone without the fonts and looking at the WORD file would not see the proper text -- this is a MS issue introduced with their XML form of a DOC file. It is even messed up in their DOC compatibility format.
The AI file format is supposed to actually be a variation on the EPS file format from what I have read -- Apparently EPS is an outgrowth of AI?
In any case, the WORD file may not show the EPS file correctly. It appears that WORD 2007 does an attempt at displaying the result, but with errors (I have been looking at some line drawings and the WORD display shows line breaks. I printed the various forms of graphics in WORD to a PDF and the results for the EPS was not good. I think this may be a MS issue, but am not sure. Actually, the WORD converter to PDF even messed it up. That would suggest that at this point, EPS is not a good choice because of the way WORD handles things.
Don't know that my long winded description helps or not.
The EMF file can be inserted with the Insert>Picture menu. If you use the special paste, you can insert either WMF or WMF versions from the clipboard. Generally the results are the same. From my short experiment with EPS and WORD 2007, it looks like the result is a problem. However, that could have been the EPS save of my application, don't know. The best way to see what works for you is to do what I just did and that is create a vector graphic and save it as EMF and EPS. Then clipboard it into work and insert both the EMF and EPS in the picture menu. See what the result looks like and then also print to PDF and see what you get. Then draw your own conclusions rather than depending on someone like me who is just indicating results I have gotten.
Good luck.

PDF to JPEG with Higher Resolution

I have a simple script that takes a FileMaker layout, exports it as a PDF and uses AppleScript and Image Events to convert that PDF to a JPEG. It works, but the resolution of the JPEG is much lower than that of the original PDF. Here's the code that does the conversion:
tell application "Image Events"
launch
set fileRef to open tempFile
save fileRef as JPEG in destFilePath
close destFilePath
end tell
The final JPEG has a resolution of 72dpi. I've looked through the Image Events dictionary and there is a read only property of resolution. Would it be better to use another application or perhaps some sort of command line utility to get this job done without the resolution loss?
Thanks,
Chuck

OK, I read some of the man page for sips, and found the -g option for getting a property. I ran the following commands:
sips -g dpiHeight 00127.pdf
sips -g dipHeight 00127.jpg
Both report that the dpi is 150.000. However, when I open both files in Preview and place them side by side, and magnify the image three times using Cmd-+, I see pixilations of the JPEG file but not the PDF image. This is what lead me to believe that I was losing resolution. I can zoom in quite far with the PDF (10 times or so) and see details. With the JPEG I lose the detail after very few zooms.
So, perhaps it's not losing resolution, but something else is happening?
Thanks,
Chuck

Converting pdf to word with XI Pro

I just downloaded a free trial of Adobe XI Pro as I'm trying to convert a PDF document to a Word doc on my Mac. I successfully downloaded the software, registered with Adobe and signed in. But when I press the tab to "convert" I'm informed there's an error in signing in or conversely it prompts me to "Sign Up Now" again. Can you help me? Peter

Thank you for the response. I insereted several .pdf files into my MS Word document where they show as Acobat icons. When in MS Word, I am able to double-click on the icons and the files open in Acrobat. I then converted the MS Word document to a .pdf. These icons now only show as pictures and do not open the original inserted .pdf documents.

Converting PDF to EPUB with lots of images

Greetings everyone,
I am rather new to indesign and e-publishing and trying to get a handle on how to do this properly. I am a professional photographer with years of work and have decided to create a few photo e-books. Not actually how to, but beauty, something like a coffe table photo essay, photo story book. You get the idea, mainly photos and very little text. So here I am looking to make a ebook without lots of text. I guess mainly the opposite of what most ebooks are? I have created a few of them in indesign cs6 as a pdf and they look great ! I have tried to convert them to epub and what text I do have and or backgrounds go all over the place! obviously i'm doing something wrong! Looking for some guidence on how to make this work? I have worked with photoshop, premier, after effects since day one of their creation so i do have somewhat of knowledge in adobe but not for this... thanks !!!
sincerely
kevin cable

Hi laras54426173,
Are you converting via Adobe Reader or the web interface? Do you see the JPEG option when you're logged on to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf?

Converting pdf into jpeg with Pages

I took some scrapbook digital images and dragged them into pages. I then added pictures and text box. I used to go to Print and then save as jpeg but it won't allow me. I keep getting an error message and have no idea what it means. Finished project opens in Preview.
The action “Copy Finder Items” encountered an error.Check the actionʼs properties and try running the workflow again.
I just upgraded to Lion today.

If you want to convert a whole page:
Press command-P to open the Print dialogue.
Click the PDF button at the lower left and choose Save PDF.
In the Finder, locate the saved file, Right click on it's icon and choose Open with... Preview.
Save or Export the Preview document as a jpeg.
Alternate method (for less than a full page, also works for full page)
Select all of the objects on the page.
Go Arrange > Group
Copy
Launch Preview, then go File > New from Clipboard (or press command-N)
Save or Export the Preview document as a jpeg.
These methods work in previous versions of Mac OS X. I'm unable to test them in Lion.
Regards,
Barry

Adobe Acrobat X does not convert pdf to Excel with floating columns!

I have a Macbook Pro, running 10.6.8, using Acrobat X Pro. I have tried all Adobe suggestions for converting credit card statement saved as Adobe pdf to Excel. None of the recommended solutions separate the data into columns. It places all data, separated by spaces, into ONE column. Adobe should fix this if it is going to claim that the product converts to Excel, and for $300+ it should!

Hello,
you may scan using any ICA-Compliant software (e.g HP Scan, Image Capture, Read Iris, etc) and then launch the file using Adobe Acrobat.
As you mentioned Adobe require TWAIN Drivers, however the HP software only provide ICA Drivers.
As you may find listed within the scanning specification below, Twain drivers are only provided for Windows OS:

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

Preflight panel Info. shows my placed 300 ppi PDFs at much less effective resolution

Ï'm brand new to InDesign (graphic designer who primarily works in Illustrator, some Photoshop, until now). I understand resolution and PPI but not necessarily in-depth knowledge of the related necessary workflow needed within InDesign, if that makes sense. I've spent hours and hours the last couple days trying to learn the finer points of InDesign as I work on an ad magazine for my company, but I can't for the life of me figure this particular issue out, and I'm guessing (hoping!) it's a very simple solution.
I placed several 300 PPI PDF images in the magazine document (vector PDF's I created in Illustrator, saved as editable PDF's).
I created a Preflight Panel in InDesign with a custom Profile, named it Print Ready, and set image resolution to 250 to ensure as I finish up this magazine design that things are press/print ready. It now shows 5 images with Image resolutions lower than the 250 minimum - all of the pdfs I placed. They all show very low PPI, 74, 109, etc. The 300 PPI pdfs were already sized to the exact proportions they needed to be in the InDesign file and for print, so there was very minimal scaling to fit the images into their frames, so I'm assuming scaling couldn't have created this issue and it has something to do with my workflow and the way I'm bringing them in.
I'd like to point out that this magazine document was created by another designer, and I'm picking up where they've left off, adding some final images and copy. The other picture images she had in the file appear fine, no errors in Preflight Panel...even some preview stock photo's with the X's across them that appear to be very low resolution (we haven't purchased them and replaced them yet in this InDesign file), so not sure I understand why those are not showing up in my Image Resolution as errors??
Anyhow, at some point I came across the Document Presets, which is currently set to Default - and when I click Define, I noticed it shows the PPI at 72. Does this mean that files I place are "brought in" at 72 PPI, regardless if their original PPI is higher? And if so, how do I change that?
If not, how do resolve or correct?
Sorry for the very long explanation - just want to give as many details as I can, since I'm not exactly sure which details are important to figuring out the problem. Thanks in advance!!

I've checked the resolution in Photoshop just as a double-check and it shows resolution as 300 PPI. When you say "because they can be mixed" do you mean because elements and graphics with the PDF can be of varying resolutions? I hadn't thought of that, if that's what you meant. I do have some items within my pdf that might be lower resolution.
If these show up in my Preflight Panel as an issue, does this mean they would be flagged also with the Printer? In trying to find a resolution I read several forum discussions about how Printers often run your document through a Preflight process and will send it back when there are low resolution images in the document.
Is there some other way to be sure these images are in the InDesign document as 300 PPI so I can know they will in fact print correctly?
PS - Peter - thanks for the super quick response! And I saw your the highlighted "Exceptional Contributor" on the right sidebar for the InDesign forum - clearly well-deserved! Congrats
