Creating multipage PDF problem with jpegs

I have been trying to create a multipage PDF with Pages for my photography business.  The first four pages, with a large Jpeg and some text, worked fine.  On the fifth page, when I drag my jpeg image to the page, I get weird behavior.  The image becomes pixellated and very large, partially covering the previous few pages.  The images are approximately the same size as the ones copied to the first four pages.  I even tried resizing the image to 600X400 pixels at a rez of 70, with no good results.  This is very frustrating, as I would like to get this out to a client.  Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Pages has an odd algorithm to work out the original size of the image and doesn't always get the resolution right. Usually because the original file doesn't either.
You can fix the image resolution in Preview .app, however if you work with Word Processing mode documents, Pages has a neat feature that images copied/dragged into the text area, inline will "fit" either vertically or horizontally, thus auto-sizing to the layout. Use columns to subdivide the page if need be.
You can also create a fixed size imagebox and set the image to fit that, then make it a positional:
Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Media Placeholder
Duplicate those and any images dropped on those will fit to the Imagebox the same way that the original placeholder did.

  • I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

    I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

    I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

  • How to create a  PDF document with page curls using Adobe  CS 4?

    My  goal is to create a  PDF document with page curls. I am using Adobe  CS 4.
    1.      The document was created in Adobe InDesign  CS 4  where the page  turn (curl) transition  was applied.
    2.      Then the document was exported to .swf.
    3.     The .swf file was imported into   Adobe Acrobat Pro  to create a PDF file with  flip page or page curl transitions.
    These are the problems.
    1.      The background is not  transparent.
    2.      Page dimensions have to be increased at least an inch in width and length so that the full page can show
    3.      The command and+   will not only increases the document's  screen size. It increases the page margins.

    PDF was never designed to support the Flash page curl effect (it didn't exist back then). Anything you try (and you've tried the standard hack) will look like a hack. Personally, I don't think the effort is worth it for an effect that's much overused.

  • I received a PDF document with jpegs in it....how can I take the photos to iPhoto

    I received a PDF doc with jpeg photos within it.  How can I move photos to iPhoto??

    Here's how to get a pdf file or any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
    1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    Note:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of each page of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.

  • Creating a PDF document with visible bookmarks

    Hi.
    I'm using VB to create a PDF document with bookmarks. I have no problem with this part.
    What I want to do, though, is to program the document so that the bookmarks pane is visible when I open the document.
    Any ideas?
    All Best,
    Ethan

    I found the answer in the Interapplication Communication API Reference:
    Dim SetPageMode as Boolean = PDDoc.SetPageMode(nPageMode),
    where nPageMode has the possible values:
    0: leave the view mode as is
    1: display without bookmarks or thumbnails
    2: display using thumbnails
    3: display using bookmarks

  • Spool to PDF - Problems with downloading PDF file when converting with job

    Hi all!
    I've got a problem. I've got a program that writes a smartform into the spool. After that, I am using the function modules RSTS_GET_ATTRIBUTES and CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert it into PDF. I retrieve a internal table with the binary content for the PDF file. Now i can download the file to the desktop by using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
    But there is a problem: when the spool excesses 99 pages, the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF asks the user via popup if the PDF should be created in background. If the user commits, the internal tables that should contain the binary PDF data is emtpy. A background job writes the binary data into the spool. The user has got an empty file that will be generated by cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
    So, is it possible to suppress the popup to create the PDF allways online? Or how can I write the PDF file if there will be create any spool id in background? You'll find my current code below.

    Creating a PDF file with over 99 pages through SAP seems rather unreasonable to me. What are you printing - Encyclopedia Britannica? For cripes sake... Have you thought about creating more than one spool request or using something completely different? Why do you have to do this through spool? You can get Smartform output directly into PDF, there are a lot of example out there.
    The only solution that comes to mind is rather brutal - create a copy of the function module and get rid of the popup. Although it just might time out after that...

    i'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!

    Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

    Looking to create editable PDF forms with drop downs and text boxes for use on a Mac computer and iPad. Which product do I need to purchase? Do not need anything fancy

    Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

  • Printing/creating PDF problems with Mac OS 10.6.4 and word v.X

    In my job at university I use Word 2003 (version 10) in my new iMac. Since I updated to MacOS 10.6.4 I have problems with the printing menu. That means that I can not print or convert to PDF or even generate a preview. When trying to print or obtain a preview, word freezes and I have to force quit. When trying to generate a pdf file it does, but the generated file is unreadable (it says is damaged) and word freezes again. I have played with the preferences, change user and it didn't help. I checked the Font Book and indeed they were many duplicated fonts. I sorted them out, but the problem persists. With very short files it works, but with longer ones word invariably crashes when trying to print or make a pdf. I took one long .doc file and I copied into my laptop (MacBook pro, 2008) that was running 10.6.3. I printed it and converted to pdf; no problems at all. Then, for the sake of knowledge, I updated the system to 10.4.6 and then I couldn't print or create a pdf with the very same file, so it seems that certainly the update is reponsible. So now I know cause but I can not print from any of my computers. To me convert to pdf is an important functionality so I would appreciate any help. I have some ideas: reinstall Office 2003? reinstall 10.6 from the disk (and not update)? use Time Machine to restore the system as it was before the update?
    I didn't detect problems in Office 2004, or any other programs in my macs. Unfortunately, I need Office 2003 for compatibility with some other software. Thanks in advance!

    I updated my MBP to 10.6.4 last night and today I was printing fine from Word 2008 (v12.2.5). I haven't used Office vX since Tiger so I cannot comment on its stability with the latest update. But I suggest that if you haven't done so already, try opening Disk Utility and running Repair Disk Permissions on the 10.6.4 partition. Once this has completed I also suggest that you reset the printing system, restart your Mac and then add your printer queues again.
    *How to Reset the Printing System*
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
    4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
    5. Restart your Mac

  • How to avoid tiny rectangles showing up as separate pages in multipage PDFs scanned with Image Capture?

    I'm not sure I'm posting this question in the right forum. I am having a scanning problem. I’d appreciate it if anyone could explain what’s happening and suggest how to avoid it or how to fix it after the fact. I’m using a large-format scanner, the HP Officejet 7610, with a MacBook Pro, running OS X Yosemite, v.10.10.1. I am using Apple’s Image Capture app, v.6.6, for scanning software. I am scanning some newspapers, with text and photos on the pages, which are about 11” x 14-3/4” in size. I am making multipage PDFs, each about 10 pp., at a resolution of 300 dpi. Sometimes, when I scan a single page or multiple pages, one or more tiny rectangles of scan show up in the resulting PDF, following a normal page or between pages. In the Acrobat Reader, this tiny rectangle shows up as a curious little box, much less than an inch on a side, and when the PDF is printed out, the tiny rectangle is printed, too, as though it were a separate page. Why is this rectangle showing up in my scans? Is there a way to keep from getting it? After it has been made a part of a multipage PDF, is there any way to get rid of it, keeping the rest of the scan?

    I haven't received any replies to the question I recently posted, but one work-around that HP suggested is to use different scanning software. Instead of Image Capture, I used the HP Scan.app that came with my all-in-one printer. I haven't seen those rectangles in my PDFs since switching.
