Exporting TIFF with Pages

Hi everyone. I'm a stranger here and need your help.
I got a huge problem when I tried to export TIFF images with Pages.
I use Pages to create documents or issues and export them into TIFF, then send them to printers. Everything is OK with Lion. But since I updated to Mountain Lion, I couldn't do that anymore. When I choose Print/Save PDF to folder as TIFF, I got a warning saying "The action “Render PDF Pages as Images” encountered an error." I've searched on the Internet and got some solutions but they didn't work. I couldn't find any workflows in Library/PDF Services except "Save PDF to Web Receipts Folder" and "Mail PDF" which I don't use. Again, with Lion, I can find those workflows, change the rules or create a new one. But now, with MT, in two Library folders, I can't find those workflows. Oddly enough, they appear on the PDF menu in Pages.
I can only use Pages to create things, currently I just can't finish my work. I'm very nervous.
Thank you all!(I'm Chinese, so maybe there're something wrong in that pragraph, SORRY!!)

The pixels are not the actual measure of quality.
It is true you need 300dpi or 120lpc for quality output, but OSX may be downgrading the resolution of all or parts of the page and all you are doing is uping the resolution from the lower OSX output.
More pixels, same information does not improve the quality.
Are your actual photos in the layout 300dpi images at the size they are used? If so, without any transparency they should stay that resolution in the pdf and final output.
A pdf file opened in Preview and saved as a tiff allows you to set the resolution anyway. Make sure it is the same as in Pages any change will blur/degrade the images.
Text should be at a much higher resolution to be sharp (at least 800dpi preferably 1200), and best left as vector graphics in a pdf file.

  • Is it possible to export comments with Pages in epub?

    Hello I construct a Script with Pages and put comments in it.
    But these comments are missing when i export the script in epub.
    Isn't it possible with Pages?
    Thanks You for answer.  

    No. Use Pages 09, which should still be one your computer. And tell Apple how you feel about the embarrassing disaster that is Pages 5.0.1 at

  • Export problems with pages/ save as word document results in corrupted text

    This may be a new problem with Pages as I have not seen this happen with previous versions but, when I export a page made with a template, it ends up with merge problems - headers end up at the foot and invisible text regarding merge showing. When saved, a error box opens saying that merge fields are not save or similar, and I end up with a non friendly .doc file.

  • Exporting tiffs with adjustments including 4x6 crop

    I have Lightroom 1.2 and have (finally) made adjustments to many tiff photos. All are tiff scans and all were different sizes until I used the crop adjustment in Lightroom. I've also made contrast, levels and other changes and all have been cropped to 4x6.
    Now I would like to simply select all the photos I want to export and have them exported with Lightroom adjustments. I've tried exporting but they are exported without adjustments. I've searched in the Help and on the web and still can't find any instuctions about how to export them with adjustments.
    I'd like to export them all as cropped 4x6 pictures so that I can slap them on a DVD and get my local photo shop to print them out as 4x6 format so that I can build a couple or real-world photo albums for my two brothers.
    Can this really be that difficult to do? I sort of figured that Lightroom would be smart enough for me to be able to do that. I've been able to print to my own printer (with adjustments) from Lightroom itself so why is it turning into an uphill battle to simply save them all as adjusted 4x6 tiffs?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    A very good suggestion and one I would never have considered. My local is only charging about £15 for 100 prints though so it won't be an entire disaster if they don't pan out. It is amazing. I bought an Olympus P-10 and was using it to print but since introducing that model the media has trippled in price and I did the maths the other day and worked out that I was paying twice as much per print as my local charges. It is a nice printer but unfortunately the bottom line for me is cost. I tend to buy kit in 2s and so I have another printer under my bed (for backup) but it looks as if that particular purchase was a white elephant.
    Thanks again. Very decent of you both to have repled so fast to my question. You guys are 5-8 hrs behind in the good-old land-of-the-free but it is late here in the UK. I'm only up because I'm watching the shuttle lauch and listening to the on-board live audio via NASA TV. I thought (when I posted) that I'd check my Mbx 2mrw but am so glad I checked it out 2nite.
    Hope all goes well with the mission. God bless America. Keep it free as a beacon to the rest of the World.

  • Exporting problems with pages

    How come whenever I export a document, in this case an essay, it is exported and saved using text edit? This is a huge problem for me since text edit doesnt support MLA format. Please help

    Are you using Pages or TextEdit?
    Pages will export to .txt but only if you deliberately choose to do so.

  • In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to  TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx- ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?

    In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to  TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx->ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?

    An easy example to prove this bug of Indesing CS6:  I create a psd with Photoshop CS6, with width 505 pixels, height 317 pixels and a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. This psd is placed on a page in InDesign CS6. Then I try to export it as a tiff with the functions:
    fSnapshotUtilsEx->Draw(flags,fullResolutionGraphics,greekBelowPtSize,enableAntiAliasing,tr ansparencyQuality,abortCheck,pVPAttrMap,bDrawNonPrintingObjects);
    and
    SnapshotUtilsEx-> ExportImageToTIFF (iStream)
    The resulting tiff has a width of 506 pixels (one pixel more in width). It will happen the same if we start with a width of 507 pixels, etc.
    This error does not occur with Indesign CS5, nor Indesing CC.

  • Exporting to pdf with page marks and color separations

    Hi All.,
    I have a requirement to export the current document as PDF file. I am using the export provider with the service registry to export the document as pdf file. The code works successfully. Now I have a requirement where I need to save the pdf with color separations and page marks. First I need some information on what does page marks and color separations actually mean for a pdf file. And second I need to know how this could be achieved. Do I have to set some preferences? I have tried setting preference for color , bleed and it works. But I am not sure whether this satisfies the requirement. I would be thankful if someone would suggest me on the same.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    In my experienced it cant, you can export it to pdf but you dont have the ability to make it fillable, unless doing it manually, from the exported pdf, install an Adobe Professional software to have capability to save data's.

  • LR 2.5 won't export TIFF files with LZW or ZIP compression??

    I've just updated to LR2.5 and CR5.5, I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 on an AMD x2 64 bit pc.
    LR worked fine until 2.4 came along and hijacked all my auto play settings. Adobe finally releases 2.5 and now I find if I export TIFF files from a Nikon D700 NEF all I get is a black box the same size as the image??? If I turn LZW or ZIP compression off and export uncompressed the export works again. JPEG also exports ok.
    Anyone else getting this? Have you found out what's causing it?
    James.

    Thanks for the feedback Jao,
    I just tried across the whole range of TIFF options and the only files that don't give me a black file are 8bit and 16 bit with no compression. LZW and ZIP both stuff up
    Might try a complete uninstall and reinstall to see if that fixes things. These sorts of things only happen when you are in a rush to get lots of work done!
    Regards

  • Error in Pages when exporting ePub with image cover: Other images dissapear

    That's it, if I insert an image in the first page, and select use first page as cover when exporting ePub, some (not all) other images inside the book will dissappear. I checked everything many times, and all the images are placed ok (not floating)...
    Any idea about this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple forums
    Exporting to ePub is new to Pages 4 with the 9.0.4 updaters. It appears that most Pages users don't have a need to export to ePub, so no replies. Sorry.
    For Yvan,
    The iPad Pages forum won't help in this situation. The iPad version of Pages can't export to ePub & Pages isn't involved in reading ePub files on the iPad.

  • Help With Pages - Exporting To PDF - PHOTOS BOTCHED

    Hey guys, would really appreciate some insight to this.
    I created a report for my board in pages and included photos. It looks great but when I export to a .PDF, instead of seeing a page of 4 different photos, it is all the same photo! WHY???? I have no idea why..... It is the weirdist thing.
    Now, the document is like 140 meg since the photos are a bit big, so I am telling pages to export to a 'good' .pdf instead of a 'best' since it will make the file size smaller. If I were to make the pics smaller and then put them into the document, would that work? Your help is appreciated since I don't want to do this unless it works. It will take tons of time.
    Intersting note though, when I export to word or 'best', the pics are fine. Something weird is happening when it is making the .pdf smaller. Any thoughts?
    Thanks all.

    You're probably using sections. Is there a little triangle over page 8 in the Pages palette? That means a section starts there. Select the page and go to Numbering and Section Options in the Pages palette menu. Remove the prefix.
    You can also export using absolute page numbers if you use a + (plus) in front of the page. If your book's pages are numbered: i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3 you could export as pages +1 - +6.

  • InDesign - exporting interactive pdf with page curls issues

    I followed a Rufus Deuchler adobe tv video called "InDesign: creating interactive pdfs with page turn and flash animations"  and I was able to create an Interactive Pdf document with page culrs but it is limited to only my mac Book Air as when I sent it as an attachment (pdf) it did not work on any other PC or mac.
    Have  I missed the point or have I not done something as I thought the video mentioned that any adobe reader could view the interactive pdf (ie on other PCs or tablets)?
    Thanks

    Only Adobe Acrobat or Reader can show those PDFs (and many others) correctly. Are you sure that the PDF was opened in one of these 2 applications and not in Apple Preview or Ghostviewer or something else?
    Only Adobe Reader 9 and X and Acrobat 9 and X can show PDFs with Flash content correctly. If you have an older version, let us say Version 8 or older, you are not able to see Flash content at all. If you have a newer version, that is Reader XI or Acrobat XI you need additional Adobe Flash player have installed on that computer and allow access to your PDFs. Can you check, if these substantial requirement are fulfilled?

  • Error "Failed to Export PDF" with big image on CS6 (32) and CC (64)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm on indesign CS6 (v8.0.2) and when I try to export pdf with a very big image ( *.tiff, 25000*35000 pixels, ) , the action failed with this message :" Failed to export a PDF".
    To be sure that there is no any corrupted elements, I made a very simple layout (one page , and just one element for my image,I turnoff prefilgth and all  ressource intensive options, and export with no downsampling or resampling) and try to export with different size image:with 20000*30000 -or smaller -image the export works, always failed with image .The export failed to in scripting mode.
    If I diveded my image in four , the export works but this solution is not convenient (I actually made tests for a fully automatised process, and we want to be sure that the indesign  component is  enough "safe")
    I try the same action with an evaluation version of indesign CC 64 bits (v9.2) and have the same behavior.
    I can imagine that there is a memory issue there, but my config seems to be strong ( windows server 64 with  16GB ram, DD with more than 100GB free). I don't undersant why-in a "full" 64 bit environnement- it is not possible to manipulate and export very large image ?
    I'm wonder If the background task is a part of the problem, and if it 's possible to disable it in CS6 or CC as in cs5 ( creates an  “DisableAsyncExports.txt” file in  Adobe InDesign executable directoty don't seems to disable it  in CC or CS6).
    Thank you for your help and good ideas..
    DC.

    this is a .tif (not a "big"tiff) compressed in LZW or ZIP.
    I just tried with another format (png), the error is the same...

  • Open Pages 3 documents with Pages 5?

    I'm thinking of updating from Pages 3.x to 5.x.
    Is it true one cannot open Pages 3 files with Pages 5?
    If so, what is the workaround?

    Yes, it's true. The new versions cannot open any iWork '08 or earlier documents or templates. You will get an error saying to open the files in iWork '09 then open them in the new version. I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.
    If you’ve already purchased the new iWork apps in Mavericks, you can also use this trick to get Pages 4.3. If you still have access to a Mac running Mountain Lion. It must be Mountain Lion or Lion. Snow Leopard won't work. If the iWork '09 apps are installed, compress them & delete the originals. Launch the Mac App Store & click on the 'install' buttons under the iWork apps. You will get a message that you can't install the new version on this Mac but it will offer to download the previous version for you. Voilá, you have the self-contained apps that you can copy to another Mac.
    If you don't want to use iWork '09 to convert the files to a format that the new versions can open you can export them as Microsoft Office documents - Word, Excel, PowerPoint - then open those in the new versions.
