Creating a HIGH QUALITY pdf file?

I've just installed Acrobat 8.1 on Windows Vista and I can't find the quick way to create a **high quality** PDF from Microsft Word. The final PDF file sizes are tiny, and not good enough standard for printing. Any pointers much appreciated. Thx.

Also, when you say "and not good enough standard for printing" are you talking about creating PDF's to print on a desktop printer or are you talking about PDF's to send to a print house?
If the latter, I'd strongly suggest you talk to the print house and ask them what settings they prefer.

Problems making High Quality PDF file

I am working on an identity project and the pdfs keep coming out with the type looking thicker in areas .
also placed logos (vector art) are appearing Odd for example- the letter"i" in the corporate logo appears thicker on screen and in general the type is not at all crisp.
I actually was speaking to a adobe tech person who said she was going to get back to me about this problem and has not (over 2 weeks now)
I am desperate at this point to make a good quality pdf that will look like it will print
Any sure fire suggestions?

Not sure what you mean by that I am on my own system (not working on the cloud))
How do I fix?
Only on your own system.

How do I create a High Quality Image with a low file size???

Dear All,
I am creating an invitation in Illustrator which I then place into photshop to create a JPEG. I want to create a high quality JPEG version of it but with a low file size because I am emailing the invitation. Am I correct in placing the image into photshop or should I export it from Illustrator.
The image is built of of vectors and one JPEG but they are not high in quality.
Can anyone help me please
Thanks
Ben

The image is built of of vectors and one JPEG but they are not high in quality.
For this type of image you would probably be better choosing GIF format (now known for some reason as 'Compuserve GIF'). Taking the number of "colors' down untl it still looks high quality, and anti-aliasing is preserved.

How to generate high quality PDFs?

Hello everyone,
Before I am told to use Google or search this forum for answers to my question, let me say that I have already done that. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution.
My problem: Microsoft Word produces low quality PDFs rendering my work useless. The PDF fonts look nothing like those in Word, nor does the spacing. The same problem appears when I try to archive a word file, which is shown perfectly in the Preview box, as a PDF file. This makes me think that the PDF generator engine in OS X has a problem.(?)
The only solution I have found: InDesign - the abundance of quality choices allows for a high quality PDF generation.
Now, is there really no other way to generate high quality PDFs from Microsoft Word or the Preview? Do I have to recreate all my files in InDesign to ensure a high quality PDF output?
I thank you for your time and answers beforehand!

CarmeloX,
you can use Photoshop 7 and PageMaker 7 (with two updates). Really no problem
in Windows XP. Probably a problem in newer operating systems.
Photoshop 7 is equipped with a very reasonable Color Management System.
For PageMaker you'll need a Postscript driver and Distiller. Please ask here:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/pagemaker_general
This combination works perfectly, unless you want to handle so called live transparency.
Standard on/off transparency (PostScript) is fully supported.
Then it's possible to create perfect PDFs for inkjets, wide format inkjets, toner printers
and offset printing (PDF/X-1a for instance).
Almost all docs here were made with Photoshop CS2 (or older versions), PageMaker 7,
MathType and the PostScript editor PSAlter for technical illustrations:
http://docs-hoffmann.de/howww41a.html
Only recently I had converted everything into InDesign CS2 and newly converted to PDF.
I've installed as well CS6 (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), but mostly I'm using CS2.
By the way - here you are not directly talking to Adobe ...
Good luck and best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

High Resolution pdf files

How do I convert a pdf file with graphics and text (created from a MS Word Doc) into a high-resolution pdf file suitable for print media?

In the printer properties or the preferences for PDF Maker (create PDF), select either the press or print settings file. That should do the job.

Computer shuts down when trying to create or open a pdf file

My computer shuts down when trying to create or open a pdf file.

In that case, you need to update the Acrobat Version at your end. Click on Help -> Check for Updates. Download and install the updates. Make sure your version is 9.5.1

This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.

I have a postscript file which has been created from secure or encrypted (opening restriction) pdf.
Now when i use distiller to convert this postscript file to pdf then distiller cannot produce a pdf file.
The log file contains following text:
This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file.
Redistilling encrypted PDF is not permitted.
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
1) Is there a way to convert this postscript file into pdf ?
I have a limitation that i cannot remove security from secure pdf.
2) Do distiller provide any settings which can be changed to convert
this kind of ps(from secure pdf) to pdf.
3) Can we provide password to distiller during process of conversion to
pdf.
4) If above methods do not work then is there a way we can
programatically use Distiller Api's for conversion of postscript (in case
of postscript created from secure pdf) to pdf
Like methods 'FileToPdf' etc.
Thanks in advance.

I am facing a similar problem.
My workflow dictates that I convert the input PDF job initially to PS and finally back to PDF. If the input PDF file is secure (it's not encrypted - you will still be able to open the document), the redistillation of PS to PDF fails while using Normalizer 6.0 && 9.0 libraries. If I use Normalizer 505 library, the redistillation succeeds. I have checked with the same generated PS on both Distiller 6.0 && 9.0, and both the versions fail to reconvert as well. I am a little surprised that 6.0 and 9.0 will fail to do something that 505 library manages.
Any suggestions?

How create query based .txt, .pdf file in SQL/PLSQL

There is a commercial tool called plpdf, but i can't tell if its good..
Also possible would be to create an XML-FO with sql or pl/sql.
And then use Apache-FOP to convert the XML-FO into a pdf, rtf or whatever you want.
No extra costs but the effort to learn a bit about the fo elements/syntax.
I think the newer Apex-Versions can doing something like this also. Maybe additionally ask in the Apex Forums.

Create and edit a PDF file

Hi,
Still very new on the Mac - how do I create and edit a pdf file on my iMac?
Thanks for any info.

Creating a PDF is really simple. From any application choose the print command (Command P) and in the lower left of the box you will see PDF, click PDF and then choose what you want to do. It will look similar to:
For editing PDF files you can do some basic annotation editing using the Preview app which you will find in your Applications folder. However if you want to do more sophisticated editing then you will need to purchase an editor from the Mac App Store. Open the store type PDF Editor in the search field and you will find quite a few to choose from ranging from $2.99 to $99.99 depending on your needs.

How do I create the highest quality pdfs with InDesign CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9? New settings needed?

I sent a lot of jobs to printing companies by sending them high-res proofs on very large, multiple page jobs with lots of photos and graphics. Many companies are requesting that I just send pdfs. I just upgraded to Windows 7 and CS5. I used to have some special settings in my older Acrobat Distiller and InDesign which have been lost. They gave a much better result that what I seem to be getting from the "Press Quality" setting for pdf's. Does anyone have an excellent list of settings that can used to improve the quality of pdf's? I don't know if this is a combination of settings in both InDesign itself, as well as in Acrobat Distiller, or if the settings in one program will solve this. I have a job pending that needs improvement in the pdf quality. Thank you.

Thanks Peter. My last post was specific to using the Print Booklet feature (which is now solved thanks to your help). But this is related to creating high-res pdfs in general that go to printing companies, and being used for sending high-res proofs to clients. In general I don't need to set up printer spreads for my jobs (just for the one I asked about in my other post), but I used to have some specific settings that a printing company supplied me with to give the highest res pdf output possible. Those settings did in fact give a better result than the Press Quality settings built into my Adobe programs. I have had printers over the years request that I create a postscript file, then use distiller (using the settings they supplied) and I got an excellent result. After getting a new computer, Windows 7 and new CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9 upgrade, all of these settings were lost. I have notes on the settings from a couple of years ago, but they don't seem to apply to the CS5 programs in every given area and I feel like there may be just a couple of boxes that either should or shouldn't be checked that I'm missing now.
I understand that this is very specific information, and I may just need to go with the Press Quality settings. The printing company that gave me that great info a while back is no longer in business and other printing companies I have checked with won't spend that kind of time with me (or maybe they don't know anything other than using the Print Quality setting). Maybe within the CS5 program now, the quality of this setting has been improved more than I realize yet. Again, I'm new to CS5 and am just trying to get everything back to the way I used to have things running, and trying to get the best results possible.
Thanks again!

How to create a 300 dpi pdf file?

I have to send a 300 dpi PDF file, and I'm using Adobe Reader XI. But I can't find a way to raise the resolution or the files I create. What can I do?

Welcome to a surprisingly complicated world.
Adobe Reader is not an editor. Adobe Acrobat is an editor.
PDF files do not have a simple resolution. Rather, they are a mixture of text, line art and shapes - neither of which have resolution - and images. Images each have a separate resolution.
Acrobat Pro has a preflight tool. It can check things like "are there any images less than 300 dpi".
No responsible tool would ever INCREASE the resolution of files you create. This would vary between pointless and dangerous; it could have a catastrophic effect on work you pay a lot of money to print. You must start with higher quality originals, if you have a low resolution PDF it is too late to fix it - like trying to turn chicken soup back into chicken.

Better quality PDF files

Can I get better qulity PDF using combine files to single PDF? most files are PNG files.

I usually put together a multi-page PDF using png files, but the quality is not as good as the png itself. I thought maybe there is a setting for higher quality display such as creating a pdf from InDesign.

Why are the colors (red mostly) in my Press Quality PDF file darker than Original AI file?

Hi,
I am new to CS5 and have been doing a lot of researching and testing saving AI CS5 files in "Press Quality" PDF format. When I preview the PDF files in MAC's Preview application (will get Acrobat Reader as well) everything looks nice and crisp, but the colors are a bit on the dark side compared to my original AI files, namely the burgundy. Needless to say, I am only using CMYK and the resolution has been set to High.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi again John,
Now I am sitting in front of the right computer and I just checked the CMYK profile in AI and it says: North America Prepress 2. I found the following tutorial on the internet and this guy says that it is best to use a CMYK profile called BEST WORKFLOW which is supposed to accurately display colors across all platforms. In the tutorial, he also added that if you do not see this profile listed then you should Load (directly from the CMYK profile window) it from your computer. However, I was unable to locate this profile on my MAC and since this tutorial is based on AI CS2, I am unsure if I can use it.

Which CMYK profile would you recommend that I use?
Many thanks,
Diane
