Exporting page to pdf

when I export to pdf from pages on best quality, the file size is way smaller. Is there a way to keep the same quality?
Is there a way to save to jpeg without going through pdf?

Print problem after exporting Pages to PDF.

I am attempting to print a very large genealogical book (300 + pages) of my family's descendants and noticed that in both Preview and Adobe Reader the first character of every page is missing. This does not happen when printing from Pages so it cannot be a printer problem. I checked the placement of the print against the Pages page and both Preview and Adobe Reader are EXACTLY the one character difference with the pages exactly even with each other. The original page type is 12 pt with margins: Left .5in, Right .5in, Top .75in, Bottom .75in, no header, Footer .5in using 9 pt type. What is really odd is that the onscreen display is correct but only the printed (HP OJ6500E702n wireless duplex marginless printer) copy is incorrect which indicates to me the conversion is somehow creating this problem.
I need this PDF file as it is the file I print from plus I put the file on a disk as a backup for the paper book for all book recipients.

While this problem is for ANY application that EXPORTS, not prints, to a PDF format, I have discovered that the problem is probably be with the printer's minimum allowable margins being physically the same regardless of portrait or landscape instead of the logical rotation of margin type locations in landscape mode. Question answered by logic research.

HELP!! PLEASE!! exporting pages to pdf error message

How do I export my pages 09 document to pdf? I keep getting an error message
"The selected file or location (directory or drive) is read-only."
I haven't had this problem before and have an urgent deadline in 30 minutes when this happens.
Any help would be appreciated

Pattypepper,
You need to change the permissions on the folder you're trying to export it into. Do this:
1. Go to the folder in your finder
2. Right click the folder and a window opens with different options to choose from. Choose "Get Info"
3. Another window opens with all the info about that file. On the bottom, you will see 'sharing and permissions' with a list of names and permissions
4. Choose your name and click the little up and down arrow until you see 'read and write'. That's what you want in order to work on that folder.
If the problem wasn't the destination folder, then do the same thing for the actual document file.
Hope you got this in time for your (extended?) deadline!

Export Page as PDF after Digital Signature

Hi there!
I'm looking for a script that will export the page that is being signed (Page 2 of an 85 page document) after it is digitally signed.
Thanks!

Oh really? That's so odd! I can set up a button that extracts the page with an inputted signature, but I suppose that since that will be digitally signed, it will not work that way?
What I'm thinking is that when I digitally sign the document, it saves a new version of it that IS signed. I'm hoping to do that for just that exact page and not the entire document.

Export as Separate PDF Pages with Unique Names

I have an InDesign document that has several pages. I want to export each page as a seperate PDF, but they have to have a unique name that I want to be able to specify.
For example, I want to export page 1 as "calendar page 2014"
Page 2 as "Diary page 2014" etc.
I found some solutions, but they aren't quite what I need:
Export as Seperate pages with image name
This apple script takes the name of the first image on the document and uses that as the name.
However, my document has no images.
Exportools
A paid tool that offers many options for exporting. However, the name has to be based on a pattern, which is no good for me.
I'm hoping that there will be a script that can take the name from a non-printing area/layer. That way, I can just put the desired name on the page and it will export with that name each time.

have you looked at the extention Autosplit PRO? This may be what you are looking for. (Although, I don't think this software is compatable with MAC...but if you find out otherwise, please advise!)
good luck..

Is it possible to export/save Muse pages as PDF files?

As a Web Design / New Media student, the curriculum at my school teaches a combination of Illustrator, Fireworks, and Acrobat Pro for design, wireframing, and prototyping new websites. Muse seems capable of streamlining the process, but is it possible to export the file in PDF format for sharing (assignment submission; offline viewing)? Maybe after publishing, one can convert the wepage to a PDF?
Any suggestions are appreciated!

Not natively, but you can always screenshot your Design or Layout page and convert that JPG or TIFF to PDF, but Muse does not export pages in that way.

Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

I have a problem with my Pages
My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
fonts are missing...
Is there a workaround.
I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
I need help
thanks a zillion

The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
Good luck,
Henrik

Pages docs no longer open when I've exported them as pdfs

Here's a bizarre one...
We create our invoices in Pages, export them to pdfs then e-mail them to clients. Usually, the previous month's Pages doc provides the template for the next. But now I can't open many (not all...) of the old Pages docs that I've exported as .pdfs.
Anyone have any idea why it's happening?
Thanks!

Can you provide a copy of the template so we can see whats going on

Hyperlinks are dead when Pages file is exported as a PDF

When I export a file from Pages '09, version 4.0.5, to a PDF file, the hyperlinks do not work. The Pages help menu states "Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks." I am opening the PDF files in Acrobat Reader. What is the problem here?

Markleynt wrote:
I discovered the problem. Being new to Pages, I did not realize that the text layer had to be in front of the transparent shapes that I was using as backgrounds, in order for the links to be clickable in a pdf file.
For sure, putting background objects *_at front_* is not a good idea

How do I save or export my web pages as PDF files?

I'm trying to save or export web pages from my Firefox that I'm using on Windows Vista as PDF files. There isn't an option for this nor any information in your help files on this. Thanks for your time and I look forward to a response.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice

Actually, you should right-click on the collection and choose the command Export This Collection As Catalog (and check the box next to Include Negatives). This will create a new catalog and you can move this and the photos thus created to the 2nd computer and then in Lightroom on the 2nd computer use File->Import from Another catalog

Exporting onenote to PDF page settings 2013

I am having the worst time with OneNote 2013: specifically with exporting a printed version of my class notes to PDF.
I am familiar with 'page setup', as well as using a 'custom' size to hopefully fit all my lectures notes in equal page sizes. It just seems like I am missing more settings somewhere embedded into OneNote's page setup settings.
What I ultimately want to do is download the lecture slides, write class notes on them, and export them in a PDF. The only issue the page size for this. the 'custom page size' will allow to fit the width of the page, but never the length of the page.
Each page has to be printed in 2 pages since I cannot find how to set the length of the page to have the lecture slides fit. Simply increasing the 'height' setting during a 'custom' page size never seems to work frustratingly enough.
I have read how to export pdfs on this website yes, but where you find information about exporting page setups I have no idea.
Hope to hear from someone soon!

Hello. Did you ever figure out how to export with your page setup settings intact? I'm having a similar problem.

Hyperlink failure on last pages of PDF (exported from InDesignCS)

Per Bill@VT from the Acrobat Forum, I'm posting my Acrobat/InDesign question here as well. I thank you in advance for any possible assistance:
Hello. I have a 211-page catalog I've created in InDesign CS in which I have created hundreds of Hyperlinks (for Export to a PDF for CD distribution). I exported the file to Adobe PDF using general, automatic, medium compression settings (150 ppi) -- the CD's main purpose is for viewing. All the links work great on every page of the PDF except on the last two pages, 210 and 211 (there is nothing different on these pages than any other). The links on page 211 all jump to page 210; links on 210 go nowhere. Even the links set on the master pages don't work; the URL links on page 211 also go to page 210.
I wondered about it being a capacity issue in Acrobat 7. The InDesign file is 190MB; the exported PDF file is 42.3MB. If capacity is the issue, any suggestions that might help? In some cases, the names of the Hyperlinks throughout the document are long (parts of sentences); would that be causing a problem?
Has anyone ever encountered this issue?
Any assistance is most greatly appreciated.
Operating System: MS Windows 2000

I think the export feature in InDesign is a feature of that product and not Acrobat. Thus you will need to ask in that forum. There are folks here that may know because they also have InDesign. The long link names and potential problems suggests that you have an option in the export incorrectly selected and you are actually not using links. Acrobat will try to interpret things it sees as links as such (like WORD and other products) but may not get them right if they are strange links. In such a case you have 2 options: 1. Be sure you have the proper feature selected for exporting the links (so they are included) or 2. Fix the links so they satisfy proper URL formatting. For instance, spaces are not standard in links, even if MS products like to use them.

Pages to PDF export and text not showing

I exported a pages document from Pages to PDF and I can not see the text???
Font is Tex Gyre Adventor and it is in the color white with a shadow and a tangerine box backdrop
Thoughts? - Thanks!!

I'm not sure exactly why this happened, but I think I might have some reasons why.
Maybe try changing the color of your text to another color instead of white and see if that works. Or maybe try changing the background from tangerine to something else and see if anything changed once it is converted to a PDF.
Another reason is maybe you did it completely wrong when you converted it. I'll explain how to, incase you completed any steps incorrectly.
1) At the top of your screen, press "File" then "Export". At the top, make sure the "PDF" option is selected and not anything else like "Word" or "ePub" or any of the other options.
2) Select the image quality. Perhaps adjusting this to "Best Quality" rather than just "Good" will help in being able to see the white text. I don't know, just a suggestion.
3) Press "Next" which should be flashing in a light blue color.
4) Save your PDF where you want it and call it what you want.
5) Now press "Export"
6) Open the PDF document and see if anything changed.
Sorry if I haven't been much help but just see if that works.
Another thing I will suggest is to try printing it out and seeing if the text is visible and that might help out.
I'd also suggest, finally, start all over again with converting and follow the steps above, and see if anything changes.
Hope I could help, sorry If I didn't.

How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?

How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?
Am looking at exporting the Form view on APEX to be exported to PDF.

In order to get a PDF, you need to generate a Report....in PDF format.
If you are using the APEX Listener, you can initiate the download of the PDF by calling APEX_UTILS.download_print_document() (I normally place this in a Process)
BUT -- You have to create the Report (under Shared Components) and a Template (also under Shared Components).
The white paper in my first post gives you the HOWTO "[Create] Custom PDF Reports with Oracle Application Express and the APEX Listener".
Start by creating a Report (in Shared Components, bottom right) that uses a simple SQL statement like:
Select * from emp where empno = :P15_EMPNO
You may need to hard code the parameter before you hit "Download XML" button.
The XML that you get from clicking "Download XML" satisfies the "Step 1 - Create an XML Data Source" found on Page 11 of the document.
The rest of the instructions is in that whitepaper.

Pages from iPad - Export issues with pdf, word

issues when exporting documents out of Pages from iPad using pdf, and getting... "Cannot extract the embedded font 'VZEENN+Georgia-Bold'. Some characters may not display or print correctly". I have 10.5.8 and Adobe latest version 9.4... I have also tried different and more universal fonts on Pages like Arial or Helvetica with no success... Really frustrating to have so critical bugs. Any work arounds from anyone? Thanks!

Yes, you can send the file as an email attachment to yourself and open it on a computer and print.
You can use DropBox to place the files on the computer to print
These are easiest if the file is saved (exported) as a PDF file so it is portable.
You can also use an AirPrint enabled printer and print directly from the iPad without going through the computer. But buying another printer is much more expensive than the cost ($20) of Pages for the MBP.
If you already have a wireless printer, you can try the website for the manufacturer and see if there is an upgrade for the printer to enable it for AirPrint.
