Export to Word, letter l different size

I exported a pdf to Word and all the letter L s appear to be thicker but aren't shown as bold when selected. Bizarre! Pdf has unknown font which became Arial in Word.
Also, how do you get the 'properties' in a pdf file to display fonts in the file?
Thanks, Sara

Thanks for your prompt reply!
I am using Acrobat X Standard (v 10.1.13) on a PC with Windows 7.
Not sure about saving the PDF. You mean do a Save As to create a second file?
As for the fonts issue, I’ve done what you pointed out and got a blank box. I did not create this PDF and don’t know if it was created by Adobe or something else! Maybe that’s the problem?
As for my initial problem, I think I found a ‘cure’. Select the funky font/word and click on Font(Ctr-D), go to Character spacing tab. The thick Ls were less than 100% scale and usually Condensed spacing! I went through the whole document, making tedious one-by-one changes. At least it was only the letter L that was affected, which I find truly weird!
After I wrote you, I tried a different PDF export to Word and it looked like a bad OCR and was worse than the first one. I spent most of the evening working on it. I’d be happy to have you look at it. Do you want both the PDF and the Word file? I did Save the PDF but the second exported file looks identical to first.
Thanks,
Sara

How to export my vector lines at different sizes

Hi. First post here. I have been using photoshop and illustrator at my university. I need some help exporting my graphics at known pixel dimensions. Illustrator seems to give the cleanest results, and the stroke antialiasing is much better than in photoshop, so I'm keen to do my final export from illustrator.
I have attached four images to show what I'm doing.
1 - depth map, this is rendered from a 3D terrain package. White = far, black = near
2. Find edges in depth map - the values in this image correspond to the depth discontinuities in number 1. High values = large depth edges
3. Import into illustrator - do a live trace, stroke, set threshold. Get some nice vectors
4. Convert to live paint, set stroke width. Antialiasing is great
OK. My questions are:
a) How do I export a jpg at a fixed size, in this case 640 by 360? I want my original depth maps to be much higher resolution so I get quality vectors, but I want to export the final image at 640 x 360. I haven't figured out how to resize the original to those dimensions
b) Are there different antialiasing styles to mess around with? When I zoomed in on a microsoft word screenshot I noticed the antialiasing was in colour around black text. I wonder if that could be useful to me
c) If you have any better techniques for vectorising and then rasterising for display these mountain lines, please let me know.
Thank you!!!

jt,
To get a 640 x 320 px JPEG, set the reolution (as Export option) to 640/W, where W is the Width in inches; or similarly for height.
I definitely do not know of this option though it would be good to have such a setting.
But what you have do if you are not using Save for Device and Web is to actually make a copy of the art turn off the visibility of the original art
then resize the copy to your desired dimension either width or height, in this case probably width.
Then make a new art board, holding the shift key down allows you to make one within the bounds of another artboard.
Then double click the artboard tool to enter the dimension of you desired jpeg
then reposition the art in the artboard you just made and then export to jpeg using the Use Artboard option and selecting that artboard.
So if you set the artboard to 640x360 pixels that is what you will get.
Save for Device and Web is easier there you can enter dimensions

Export to Word file size is huge

Sometime after the end of March, the "Export to Word..." action in Pages has started producing very large file sizes. The Pages file itself will be 119KB, but after exporting to .doc, it will become 1.5MB. I have to export Pages files to Word all the time, to submit files to submission systems that have max file sizes, so I've been unable to upload my files, which is obviously a problem (and didn't used to be).
To fix this I have tried... restarting. I have deleted the Pages plists, restarted. I have tried exporting on a different computer with the newest version of Pages, which produced the same file size result. I have copy/pasted the text into a new file, tried again. Etc, etc. In the end, I had to borrow a friend's computer to pull the 1.5MB Word export into Microsoft Word itself and resave, to get the expected smaller file size of 47KB.
Please help. Or, if there is no solution, I'll report as bug to Apple Feedback. Thanks!

To my knowledge all Pages 5 Exports have been particularly bloated.
Since I have not considered Pages 5 worth using for serious work I can't compare between Pages 5.1 and Pages 5.2 as to whether the problem has actually got worse.
All I know is that Pages 5 files & Exports are massively bigger than Page '09 files & Exports.

Exporting - photo dimensions different sizes

I am new to Lightroom. When I export a group of photos some are around 3000x4000 and others are around 6000x8000.
These larger sizes will not upload to my Picasa Web Albums.
Why are they different sizes? Some are only taken on my iphone and are the larger size and others are on my SLR and are the small size.
Thanks

If you want to resize exported images you have to select any file format other than <Original> in the Import Dialog / File Setting / Image Format.
For web-use you would select JPG. Color space for web use is sRGB.
Selecting another format than <Original> will activate the <Image Sizing> and <Output Sharpening> sections of the Export Dialog.
Select a size appropriate for the Picasa Album and select a Quality Setting - between 70 and 80 should be fine; and select output sharpening for screen.
For sizes you can specify from several parameters. I find it most convenient to select 'Long Edge' or "Short Edge", specify the amount of pixels, and let the other edge fall according to the ratio of the image edges.

Why can I export (and import)the different sizes that I put in the "Responsive Design View"?

Hello
I have troubles when try to import or export the different sizes of the Responsive Design View, I manage at least 13, and it's a little preposterous to add one by one. There are a method that export/import them?
Thanks

There is a way to store custom settings for responsive design.
You can create custom settings in the responsive design mode window.
You can hold down the Shift key and drag the borders via the (right border, bottom border, bottom right corner) resize icons to get specific dimensions and give the current custom setting a name to add them as a preset.
This will add the preset to the <b>devtools.responsiveUI.presets</b> pref that you can inspect on the <b>about:config</b> page.
Those settings are stored in JSON format.
<pre><nowiki>[{"key":"360x640","width":360,"height":640},{"key":"768x1024","width":768,"height":1024},{"key":"800x600","name":"8x6","width":800,"height":600},{"key":"800x1280","width":800,"height":1280},{"key":"980x1280","width":980,"height":1280},{"key":"1280x600","width":1280,"height":600},{"key":"1920x900","width":1920,"height":900}]</nowiki></pre>
See this thread for some JavaScript code to add extra sizes:
*[[/questions/957590]]
You can paste the existing JSON value of the devtools.responsiveUI.presets pref in the prompt and click OK.
Extra values can be added by typing its dimensions (<width>x<height> <name>).
You can paste the resulting JSON value back to the devtools.responsiveUI.presets pref or save it.

Exporting DV/HD files from iMovie to FCE-different sizes in canvas?

Hi!
Desperately need your help. I have a problem with moving my files from iMovie to FCE to edit. Pre cut in iMovie from both DV and HD files (canon 5D) and moving the project to FCE through XML. When in FCE the files line up with different sizes, the old DV files small, 1/3 of the canvas, the HD files perfect.
Are there any settings which can be changed to fix this?
Another problem I have is when exporting to QT the quality simply is not the same as when I export from iMovie and play on 50" plasma. Why? I have tried all options available.
Hope someone out there has some experience and advise.
Kind regards
Olafur

When in FCE the files line up with different sizes, the old DV files small, 1/3 of the canvas, the HD files perfect.
I assume your Sequence settings are for HD which would be why the SD files are so small in comparison.

Exporting need to automate 2 different image sizes to 2 different folders (as a default setting)

This has been a 'why is this not possible yet' since LR1.
Often photographers need to export as:
1000px @ 72dpi
4000px @ 300dpi
So that clients can have a screen friendly & a print version.
Sure - I can do it once and then just do it again - changing all the inputs, sizes etc, but this should be a standard dialog in the export box.
This way the photographer can have a preset at their standard sizes and just CHANGE THE FOLDERS (with option of changing the file name)
All Adobe needs to do is add a check box for export to second folder with file size options dialog....
So simple - been waiting years for this to be a standard option...

You could also use the built in hard drive publish services. Create two services, one for each location/size. Within each publish service, create a smart folder that refers to a single collection. Then dragging a photo to that one collection will queue the images for export in both services.
You'd still have to visit each of the services to click "publish."
Removing the images from the collection automatically deletes the from the hard drive on the next publish, also.

A pdf file failed to convert to word, presumably because of size. how do i split a large pdf file into manageable secrtions?

I'm running Abode Reader XI version 11.0.7. Repeated attempts to convert a large (439 page) file, a dissertation, failed. How do I split a large pdf file like this into manageable sections for conversion?

Hi Mike,
Your 11MB file is well within the file-size limits for ExportPDF, but depending on the number of pages, complexity of the file (and yours doesn't sound complex), and your connection speed, it is possible that the service is simply timing out before it can finish processing. These steps can help:
If the file already contains editable text (that is, it isn't a scanned document), try disabling OCR as outlined in this this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
Clear the browser cache and try again.
Try a different browser.
Let's start there. If you still can't export the file to Word, let me know and we'll take it from there.
Best,
Sara

In Pages 5, why are page thumbnails different sizes?

So I'm using 5. And I must say I think it's brilliantly done after a long period of ******** about it. I guess I'm not asking of it anything it doesn't provide and what it does it does very well - though I'm puzzled by the behavior of selecting text via the keyboard.
Anyhow, that's not my question. I'm working with a long text document. I notice that as I work the page thumbnails become different sizes. It's subtle but it's clearly intentional. I reckon it's trying to tell me something but I don't know what. Haven't been able to find any info in the manual and was wondering if any of you clever people here might know. Thanks.

This is what I meant about how rude you are though. Your answer DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOUR myself or the other person were reporting. The only assumption that I can make is that you posted here for the sole purpose of implying that we are both mistaken or stupid.
How is this helpful at all?
How do you have 32,485 points when you are obviously more concerned with insulting people than helping them out? It puts the lie to the whole idea of "Apple Support Communities."
Also, I specifically informed you that your comments were insulting and unhelpful and politely requested you not post on this thread anymore or at least until you had some kind of actual information, yet here you are. Posting again, with no content other than the implied insult.
I'm not stupid. I know what a section break is, I know what a page break is. I'm a writer who has used innumerable word processing programs over the years and have been an IT worker for 10 years now.
I have a Pages document. It has no (or only one depending on your point of view), section(s). It has page breaks only. The pagination is set to start at "1" on the first page and proceed normally to the end of the document (300 or so pages). I am using Pages 5.5.2 on a brand new iMac. I have NONE of the previous or older versions/types of Pages on my computer.
The pages thumbnails on the side, do actually CHANGE SIZE randomly as I am editing the document. These differing sizes are NOT CORRELATED WITH THE BEGINNING OR ENDING OF SECTIONS. These size changes are also NOT CORRELATED WITH THE PAGE BREAKS (in case you were about to argue the similarity of page breaks and section breaks). As I work through the document and scroll up and down editing here or there, the size of the thumbnails RANDOMLY CHANGE SIZE. Sometimes this is correlated with me working on a section, sometimes I can work on a section and no change happens at all. The thumbnails that change size often change back again when I scroll back to them later on.
So please ... Try to act like a decent human being and either help out, or go away. STOP POSTING THAT WE ARE WRONG, when you DON'T in fact know we are wrong. STOP INSULTING ME by assuming I am stupid.
Why are you even here if you don't want to actually HELP anyone?
To anyone else reading this: I am having a real bad time with this fellow who is just the most insulting person I have met for a while, however many of my posts about him are being deleted. If anyone knows (including the mods of this forum) of the proper way to REPORT or get rid of a troll/abuser like him on Apple Support Communities or a place to report his behaviour, please let me know.

Different size text in a shape/view shape/layers...help!

Hi all, I am trying to work with a heart shape and I am having problems. I know how to write in it to make it the same shape but I am trying to get a heart outline, which I can remove when the text is done, but I want to add words as new layers so I can move them and free transform them into the heart so I can have a big tall word and a short fat word for example. I tried to just make the font bigger on certain words but it effected the gap between the lines obviosuly. I'm not sure how to describe it and the 'add image' thing is not letting me add one to show you so here is a link to show the sort of thing I mean....http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/love_quiz/
I feel I am making it more confusing....?! Basically, I want to free transform words (each a different layer) into the shape of a heart but when I try to do this, it puts the word on the same layer as the heart, or if I do manage to get a word on a different layer, when I go to free transform, I cant see the heart layer so cant see what I am doing. Hope this makes sense, any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated. Thank you xx

When adding words, to start it is better to click away from the heart as it can assume you want the heart path to be a bounding box for the text, (think of a paragraph of all one size formed to that shape)
Then you can drag the text over top of the heart and format it as you wish.

Crystal Report error exporting to Word

My company recently deployed a Microsoft Security Patch to our workstations that's causing a problem with Crystal Reports. When exporting a Crystal report to a Word file (from a VB 6 application) the following error is generated when opening the file: "You are attempting to open a file that was created in an earlier version of Microsoft Office. This file type is blocked from opening in this version by your registry policy setting."
My company uses Crystal Reports v 8.0.1.0. Is there a more recent release that provides a fix for this error?
Thanks.
David
Edited by: David Verbinski on Nov 5, 2008 10:35 PM

I know 100mb works because I have created word document reports with that size before using the crystal export. Just really big reports. I'm not sure on the exact size because it doesnu2019t work but I know there is more data in the report than the 100MB report which works so it doesnu2019t work on some reports larger than that (don't know the specific size because it doesnu2019t work) sorry for being redundant.
Not sure about a size limitation on an RTF formatted document that is saved as a *.doc (word document).
It's my understanding that exporting to a .doc is the same as exporting to .rtf because the .doc is in .rtf format. I may be wrong but if you change a .rtf extension to a .doc extension, you get the same thing when opening the file in word.
When exporting to RTF format I get the same error, so I believe they are using the same or similar process.
Yes I tried on other machines and different servers and the error only occurs when exporting large documents to word. Small documents work fine.
If there are file constraints in exporting to word, I believe a more distinct error message could be displayed related to the specific error.
No I did not upgrade my pc or software, I developed the report and am running specificly for 11.5 release 2 with service pace 3 installed.
Thanks,

How to export .MOV in desired video pixel size and in a centered format.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SPK2 and Quick Time for Windows Pro Version 7.6.5 the latest release.
I have a series of Quick Time .mov files which were shot at HD using a Canon Mark II EOS 5D camera. In total its about 28 GB of .mov files seperated into 78 different .mov clips. The movie inspector says they are .H264 format at 1920 x 1080 pixels
When I look at the QTM Other Properties Visual Settings it tells me the .mov Transformation for Normal, Display and Scaled is 1920 X 1080 pixels. I have checked 'Preserve Aspect Ratio.
I have figured out that I can drag all the individual clips into QTP thus making a single complete movie so to say. However, I have not been able to figure out how to convert this into a mpeg file (compressed ) that will display normally both on a PC when burned to DVD or to play on a standard DVD player or even play at the correct size on a PC.
*Playback size not correct:*
It also does not display at the requested size when the mpeg file is played natively on the PC wheter using Video Lan, Windows Movie Player, or just clicking on the file and letting IE open it. Their also seems to be a centering issue in which the movie is not centered in the playback window but rather is positioned in the upper left corner, theirby leaving white space to the right and bottom of the player. The original .mov file which I can view in QTP does not have this problem. In fact I have to use the Half Size option so as to view it entirely other wise its too large for my standard PC display.
I want the completed movie to appear similarly to what one would get if they were to purchase a DVD movie at the store.
I have gotten it to export in two different sizes reducing down to 256mb and 576mb respectively but both resulting mpeg files display smaller than I desire. The larger one is suppose to be displaying as 1280 x 720 pixels but does not appear to be doing so It appears more like 640 x 480 image. Also neither finished mpeg shows centered in the playback screen.
My Export Options are set as:
Movie to MPEG-4
File Format: MP4
Video Format: MPEG-4 Improved
Image Size 1280X720 HD
Preseve Aspect Ratio using Fit Within Size
Frame Rate: 29.97
Key Frame: Automatic
Resync Markers
Yes, I also tried one using the H264 option at the larger 1920 x 1080 HD format which should be the native QT format according to the movie inspector properties and likewise it does not correctly in size and in fact is blurry.
How does one take a .mov file and convert it so that it can be
centered correctly, burned onto a DVD and play like a commercial DVD does.
I have also tried Womble.com MPEG Video Wizard DVD 5.0 which does make a DVD which will play on a PC with the same incorrect video display image settings. It will not play on a DVD player.
Thanks for your assistance.

SOLUTION
I discovered that the begining graphics of my video which were set at 1280 x 720 pixels were causing the entire video to be reduced in size. I recreated the opening graphics at 1920 x 1080 pixels added in about 90 frames of each graphic ( 3 seconds each ) and the video now converts to mpeg4 at 1280 x720 pixels filling the video screen.
Later on I will test it at the full 1920 HD conversion and report back what I find.

CR10 Exported MS word doc file not print out

My application (CR10, VB6, Oracle10.2) exports MS word doc file to disk, But when I try to print out, not print out at some printer and print out legal size (8.5x14) at some printer. It set up as Letter (8.5x11) I think in CR, page footer is wrong place. How I can change page footer location to move up in the report?
one more thing...
When I try to open this MS doc file, always prompt pop up and ask "You want to convert to RTF?" I don't understand.
Thank you.

Sachiko,
You might want to try exporting to MS Word from within the Crystal Reports Deisgner and see if you get the same behaviour. If it appears correctly from the Designer then it would suggest an issue with the coding in your application and the issue would be better answered in the BO SDK Application Development forums.
I think the footer is in the wrong place due to the incorrect paper size and don't believe that any formatting of the report itself will correct it.

Photo books - many different sizes not possible?

Hi. Does Elements 9 really offer only two sizes for photo books?
I want to produce a photo book with multiple pages. But Elements 9 (German version) offers only two sizes:
297 mm x 210 mm (A4)
300 mm x 300 mm
Above those two sizes i see the words “Print locally” (in German). These words “Print locally” cannot be changed. (I have an A4 printer installed.)
I want to produce a PDF file in Elements and send it to an online printing service. These online printing services print photo books in many different sizes from PDF (i will not send it via Elements’ own system). Does Elements 9 really offer only two sizes for photo books?
Am i seeing something wrong? I already changed the printer driver, checked preferences in Editor and Organizer, but found no way at all to get different sizes.
Thanks for all hints!

To merge the libraries manually use "File > Export".
To save the high quality originals, set the export panel like this, with "Kind Original":
If you have edited versions with added titles, caption, places, etc, use these export settings to save your work:

Multiple masters with DIFFERENT sizes?

Hi,
I think this is a NO, but I have to ask.
Is it possible to have different master pages in a single document, each with a different size?
If not, how do I tackly my problem?
I am making a sales matrix and it will be comprised of 3.5 inch by 7 inch pages with some 3.5 by 3.5 inch pages interspersed throughout.
I don't want to have two InDesign files, so it would be great if I could have masters with different sizes, OR if there was a way to use the larger of the two sizes, 3.5x7 and then set my square 3.5x3.5 pages doubled up on the larger page.
I know I can use the 'book' feature, but sometimes that is more trouble than it's worth, especially with different size pages. What do you suggest?

Peter,
why do you say easier to work the other way?
I think this spread thing may just work.
I normally have facing pages in all of my saddlestitched letter size docs and output via Export to PDF with trim marks on. That gives me a pdf and eachpage has trim marks.
Doing it this way with a 3.5x3.5 document and outputting spreads, I get exactly what I want. A pdf with one 7 inch page and 4 3.5 inch pages all with trim marks at the right places.
Before I proceed though, I want to hear why this might be a bad idea....
