Created a PDF brochure using Photoshop/InDesign

Hi, I have created a 6 page brochure. I layed out the Artwork in Photoshop, then placed the templates into InDesign to add all of my text.
I Export as an Interactive PDF, but when I open the PDF, objects on it seem to load out of sync. Within a couple of seconds everything is loaded, but I want everything to load instantly and at the same time so everything on the PDF is displayed together.
Any ideas as to why things load after one another? It seems that the Text of the PDF always loads last.
It's only 1.81 MB so doubt it's anything to do with file size.

Elements on a PDF page are rendered according to the "Reading Order" - this decides which elements overlay which others, so the top ones always appear last. Depending on the complexity of each element, and the presence of transparency, it can take a second or two to complete on a slower machine - especially if there are very large bitmap images involved that need to be uncompressed before rendering.
As you're making an interactive PDF I assume flattening the layers and transparency in InDesign is not an option - that would increase loading speed by removing any need to calculate transparency mixes.

Creating a PDF Brochure from Photoshop

I've created individual pages for a brochure in Photoshop. I save each page as a TIFF, open it up on Photoshop and then save to PDF from that.
I then use PDF Optimizer to bring the file size down a bit, but it's not really enough. My images are 300 RES and if I start to lower the Resolution of them there are noticable losses in quality.
Another thing i've noticed which is bugging me, my fonts don't appear in the Optimizer? Even when i've left my Font layers separate and just saved straight to a PDF from PSD. My font loses quality when I lower the resolution in PDF Optimizer so I assume that my fonts are being classed as images?
Would a better option be to produce my images and artwork in Photoshop, save as a TIFF and then take the file into InDesign to add all of the fonts?
The PDF has 6 pages basically and I just want it to be under, say 3 MB.

That sounds like a fabulous idea. Don't tell Adobe about that. They might develop an entire industry around that very sensible workflow.

Hi,
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

How to create a new plugin using Adobe InDesign CS5?

How to create our own plugin using Adobe InDesign CS5?is there any documents available for this?

Sure. (Didn't Google find anything?)
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html
But you don't "use" InDesign to write plugins. You need a C++ compiler and a lot of programming knowledge and experience with C++. If this means nothing to you, don't look any further -- it's way too complicated to "go and get started" at random. Adobe's documentation is not intended for learners, starters, and people who shrink back at the thought of having to read multiple help documents that are each a couple of megabytes large.
Using the SDK is so complicated there's even a part of the forum dedicated to it, aptly (and obviously) called InDesign SDK. If you browse the messages in there, you can get an idea of the most common pitfalls and problems.
If the above scares you off, well, that was fully intentional (sorry, but it is). It's by far easier to write scripts. Scripts have several advantages over plugins:
1. They are platform independent (Javascripts are; AppleScript is just for Macs and Visual Basic is just for Windows). Plugins are exclusively platform dependent. To write the same plugin for both Windows and for Mac, you have to know all the pitfalls of changing code from one platform to another, and you need a complete working compiler and development system for both platforms.
2. They are version independent. Simple scripts work on a fairly great range of InDesign versions -- some of my own scripts date back to CS, and are totally or virtually unchanged. It's even possible to force "too old" scripts to work with newer versions.
3. Scripts can do most of the things a plugin can do. The main difference used to be that plugins allow you to write a fully integrated look-and-feel part of InDesign, but with the advance of ScriptUI and event handlers and menu customization, you come quite far. Only for highly specialized functions you still need a real plugin (custom item integration, custom spell and hyphenation modules, stuff like that).
4. The scripting community is very active -- it also has a forum of its own, called (well, obviously) InDesign Scripting -- and are a friendly lot, always ready to help. (Unless you whine about how to do every little thing. (That is, I can't stand that personally. Others may not mind.))
5. Scripting is easy. ... not really, but it is fairly easy, and compared to writing a custom plugin in C++, it's a breeze, a walk in the park, and a summer stroll all rolled into one.

Best method for creating a PDF Brochure???

Hello,
I would like to create a printable PDF brochure and post it on my website [url deleted by host]. I’ve tried just using the existing web pages and think I could get something better looking starting from scratch. I just started working with Acrobat 9 extended and am not too familiar with it’s potential. Any suggestions whether I should do it all in Acrobat, or use a different program and import it. I have the Adobe Web Premium Suite 4 with Fireworks and Illustrator.
Thanks.

Use whatever desktop publishing application that you have then use Acrobat to print to a PDF. Do
n't use Acrobat for the layout. That's not what it is for.

If you are trying to print to the Adobe PDF printer and that fails, try using print-to-file. Then open the file in Distiller. If the result is the desired PDF, then check for AcroTray running as a background application. Sometimes it has to be restarted, but should be in your startup (you can check msconfig from the start>run menu to see if AcroTray is there).

How can I create multiple PDF files from multiple InDesign files?

I have 144 InDesign files that I need to create a PDF file for each. I do not want to open each InDesign file to create the PDF's. Acrobat Batch create won't open the InDesign files. Is there another way?

Only InDesign can do this. You may want to look at InDesign automation.

Can i create ADM Modeless dialog using Photoshop CS5 SDK

Hi,
I am developing a photoshop plugin using CS3 SDK. I am using ADM to create dialogs. Developing ADM Modeless dialog is not possible in CS3 SDK.
Can any one please tell me whether it is possible in CS5 SDK to create Modeless dialog. ( So that user of my plugin will be free to use photoshop even after invocation of DialogBox. )
If Modeless dialogs are not possible in photoshop using ADM,..... Is ther any other way to create modeless dialogs in photoshop ??
Regards,
Prafulla Vedante

ADM Modeless dialog is not supported in Photoshop in any version.
Your only option to make a panel / palette in Photoshop is to use the CS SDK (CS5) or the "Photoshop Panel Developer's Guide" ( CS4 or CS5 ).

How can i remove background grid of a pdf file using photoshop cr6

Need to use Photoshop/InDesign on a laptop. Can you recommend one?

I am trying to by a lap top but can't find my way in the djungle. I already have a computer. The lap top is going to be more of a vacation computor, but I need to use Photoshop even during my vacation. I want a small lap top with DVD reader/writer (that isn't the most expensive one).
Some one out there who is using a lap top for Photoshop use and is satisfied with it?

One thing to watch out for: Get a laptop that has an ATI or nVidia display interface. A lot of laptops come with Intel graphics accelerators and Intel's display drivers (upon which the Adobe software relies heavily) often cause people problems.

Is it possible to create a PDF "print" button from InDesign behaviors?

In Acrobat, there is a way to create a button with a behavior for "print" that will queue the document up for printing. I don't see a way to do this on the InDesign end, though, via behaviors. Something that will export from InDesign and carry over to the PDF. As this is something I'd like to use on every page, adding it to a template would be much easier than manually adding these to each page in Acrobat post-export.
Any guidance anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

In Acrobat, Print is a button option, however, it only opens the Print dialog box, so the user can set choices and then print.
