Flattening a larger format (17x11) document

I have a 17.00x11.00 inch document that and I put a digital stamp on and then also have someone sign over the stamp using their tablet on the right side of the document. When I use the built in preflight to flatten the document the stamp and signature elements become very small and either move way off to the left or way down in the right corner. 8.5x11 documents work just fine keeping all the elements exactly where they were using the same exact preflight. Any one have any ideas as to what might be causing this issue? I have installed the Selective Flattener JavaScript (http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/) and it works fine on the 17x11 documents but that requires us to open every file and then flatten where as the Preflight Droplet lets us to it in much larger batches.

Just thought that a much better way of phrasing what I initially asked would be: Is there is a way to synchronize bookmarks across all documents in a book?
Thanks

  • Large Format Document will not print

    Using Photoshop CS3 On IMac Intel Core Mac OS 10.4.1. Created a large format document using scanned photos and documents. I created a poster 20X40 but when attempting to export the "print" option is greyed out. Saved the document to my desktop, it is a huge file 3.4 GB. Saved it to a CD and took it to Kinkos to be printed. They say it crashed their system and they likewise cannot get it to print and cannot save it to a pdf or any other file. I am new to photoshop and my son set up the document, I just filled it in so not sure what I did wrong. Any suggestions?

    eileen,
    >I have a call into Kinkos on the color their Mac guy is not in.
    You probably don't have to speak with a "Mac guy" as Photoshop files are platform-neutral. Speak to anyone in their "print shop" and ask what their file requirements are for "giant prints".
    In addition to choices of media, mounting options and prices, you want to know:
    Format
    Recommended resolution
    Maximum file size (pixels x pixels and file "weight"), if any
    Color mode
    Any specific "do's and don'ts"

  • How can I make a photograph large enough for large format printing?

    Is there a way to make an image larger on photoshop or illustrator? I will be printing on a large format latex printer. So the printer itself is excellent but its the image that i am struggling to acquire.
    I have basic knowledge of the programmes but if you could explain it to me i could figure it out.....
    I am aware of rasterize and vectors, but please  could you explain how they work, and if that is my solution.
    I want to keep the original photograph as realistic as possible (would prefer not to have it traced on illustrator) and from research it says simply increasing the image size amount of pixels on photoshop does not help...perhaps it does, if you know please help!
    This will be a print for an interior wall of an exhibition trailer, and we want to cover all the walls. Plus in future we will be printing for vehicle wraps so I need this knowledge! Help me

    Let e try to explain briefly...
    "Is there a way to make an image larger on photoshop or illustrator? I will be printing on a large format latex printer. So the printer itself is excellent but its the image that i am struggling to acquire.
    - The actual resolution necessary to print grand format depends on the printer.  Most of the large-to-grand format inkjets print at 600dpi.  Photoshop is the better application for sizig images, while Illustrator is the better application for sizing graphics ( ie., logos ) and type.  Use Illustrator to layout both the images and the graphics.  You typically would send the print vendor an appropriate PDF file ( that can be scaled ).

    - You most certainly can use photographs in large format.  The problem is you will have to setup the file scaled down.  In some cases, the output will have to be assembled in sections.  Let's take a section of 10 feet high x 36 feet long.  You'd setup your Illustrator file 2.5 feet high x 9 feet long ( 25% ) or 30 inch x 108 inch to be enlarged at the printer 400%.  Each time you enlarge an image 2x you cut its resolution in half.  So, an image starting at 300ppi will end up at 75ppi.  So, your image file would need to be 300ppi at 25%. 75ppi sounds low, right?  In actuality, it is enough to print grand format and the image appears smooth. Now the question becomes, how do I get an image large enough in Photoshop?  Remember, you'll need a 30" x 108" image plus bleed at 300ppi ( Placed in Illustrator at 100% ).  There are applications like Genuine Fractals or Image Doctor's "Blowup" which will enlarge an image file without degradation.  I use Genuine Fractals and the results are phenominal.
    This will be a print for an interior wall of an exhibition trailer, and we want to cover all the walls. Plus in future we will be printing for vehicle wraps so I need this knowledge! Help me "
    - It'll become easier as you do more of this type of work.  The amount you end up scaling is up to you.  There are limitations as to how big a document can be in Illustrator.  I like 25% because it is similar to working on a print ad that is high resolution.  Another thing to remember is set your raster effects to High in Illustrator.  They will be retained in the PDF which will be enlarged 400% and the ending raster effects will be 75ppi just like the image.  Also, feel free to contact the print vendor and ask them questions.  You could send them what I've written here and see if they agree.  Let me know if you have any further questions.

  • How do I place a large format image into Illustrator

    I am trying to place a large format image that I created in Photoshop into Illustrator. I have tried PSD, TIFF, and JPG. I have even cropped down the image into smaller portions to try to make it easier to work with. Every time I try to Place the image I get a dialogue box saying,"The file 'Water 1.jpg' is in an unknown format and cannot be opened.' Can anyone help with this?

    I would guess the file is simply too big.  Make sure the document is in RGB mode.  If I were you, I would never submit a file that size at 300ppi for large format.  Large or grand format printers only need around 100 to 144ppi at 100% final size.  Also, set the Illustrator file up at 25% scale and place the image at 25% @ 300ppi ( image resolution ends up around 75ppi which is still plenty when enlarged 400% to final size ).  Getting back to the original error message, it could be the system is running out of both RAM and scratch disk space and cannot deal with the preview required.  Better to scale the file down for large format.

  • Plotting Large Format PDF: What Am I Missing?

    Hey folks, someone please help me with this.  I cannot for the life of me get an architectural D-sized pdf  (24" vertical x 36" horizontal sheet) to print in the proper orientation on my 36" wide roll-fed plotter.  No matter the settings I end up with either a portrait sheet (36" edge vertical) on 36" square paper or half of a landscape sheet (36" edge horizontal) on 36" square paper.
    Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0 Standard

    These are the various settings I've tried:
    1 - what seems like the logical settings to me

    After sorting out my page orientation issue another large format issue cropped up: when trying to print 24" x 36" pdf drawings to the HP 1050c I'd get the following errors:
    The document could not be printed
    There were no pages selected to print
    I'm not sure why I started getting these errors as I was able to print just fine for some time.  The good news is I've figured out how to correct it:
    The 1050c is an HPGL printer, but Adobe uses PostScript drivers.  The solution that worked for me:
    Start > Devices and Printers > remove the 1050c
    Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Print Management > Print Servers > (local) > Drivers
    right-click the 1050c drivers > Remove Driver Package...
    you may have to reboot your machine before you're able to remove the drivers
    Start > Devices and Printers > Add a printer
    in my case it's a network printer so I entered the IP address and named the port HP 1050c PostScript
    when it asks you to select the printer from the list click the Windows Update button and wait for a bit
    select HP > HP DesignJet 1050c PS3 (these are the PostScript drivers)
    finish the install, naming the printer HP DesignJet 1050c PostScript
    Now add the printer a second time
    port name: HP 1050c HPGL
    Windows Update button
    HP > HP DesignJet 1050c by HP (these are the HPGL drivers)
    finish the install
    Now you should be able to Start > Devices and Printers > remove the HP DesignJet 1050c PostScript printer, the postscript drivers will remain installed
    After doing this I was able to print from AutoCAD 2010 and from Adobe Acrobat 9.3.1 without any problems.

  • Calling WebHelp topics when source is one large MS-Word document

    I imported a large MS-Word document into RoboHelp 9 and then generated it in WebHelp format. If I want to point a user to the exact spot that will answer their question, is there any way I can call a specific part of this help project? The information I have seen online only pertains to calling individual help topics, only.
    Thanks for any help you can provide. I appreciate it.

    Cross-references should also work.  Mine do.
    You have to remember when importing a Word document to check the Convert References to hyperlinks check box.
    Import Word - On Import window, click Word Document Edit Conversion settings for Word documents Edit button.
    Then on the Conversion Settings window, select Other Settings and check the Convert References to hyperlinks check box.
    Everything should be referenced properly.  Cross-references may not show hyperlink colors or underlines unless you have them set to do that in Robohelp. But if you click the reference it should take you right to the item.  I have sets of documents and I have all my documents using this technique and it works.

    I want to order a second copy of an existing iPhoto book. Though created in the smaller format now only the larger format is showing. How can I switch an existing iPhoto book back to the smaller format?

    To change a book size duplicate it (select the book in the source pane and press command and D) since text flow and picture  placements can change due to the size differences - then click on change themes, select the same theme and the new size
    check it carefully
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

  • Unable to print from Photoshop CS4 in an iMac OS 10.6.3 to large format printer Epson 11880

    Hi there! I was wondering if you could help me with this case.
    Old computer: Mac G4  (purchased in 2002)
    Old OS: OS 10.4.11  (Tiger)
    CPU: Dual 1.25 GHz
    Memory: 2 RAM
    Software: Photoshop 7
    Hardware: Large format printer: Epson 11880 (64” wide monster). Prints large posters, banners, etc.
    As you can see, it is time for an upgrade...
    New computer: iMac
    New OS: OS 10.6.3  (Snow Leopard)
    Processor Name: Intel Core i7
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 4
    Memory: 16 GB
    Software: Photoshop CS4
    Hardware: Large format printer: Epson 11880
    Situation: We hooked up everything and managed to print on the 11880 printer 2 times and printed two large format prints. On the third attempt, we encountered a serious problem...
    Problem: After opening a file in Photoshop and sending it out for printing in the large format Epson printer, the file goes to the printer queue and stays there for 6 seconds, and then it disappears. It does not print. :-(
    What we have done so far:
    We made sure we downloaded the latest printer driver for this printer from Epson’s website.
    The printer driver is correct. The computer talks to the printer and we are able to execute all the commands from the printer utilities panel. (i.e. check ink levels, clean heads, etc.)
    And yes, the printer is okay, because we have been using it with the old G4 machine for about a year.
    This problem got so frustrating, that we thought that something we transferred during the computer installation might be the culprit. So at one point we erased the hard drive on the new computer and reinstalled the operating system, and have not put any files from any old computers into this machine. The computer has nothing else in it. Except: The operating systems, and the Mac applications that come when the Mac comes out of the box. The only other program installed in it is Photoshop CS4 and the printer driver.
    We were wondering if this was just a printing problem, period. So we added a small printer to the computer - and old Epson 2200 we have. We sent a file to this printer and there is not problem.
    Perhaps, the file size might have been an issue? It does not matter. We can send a large 60 MB file to the printer or a small photograph measuring only 8 x 10, and these will linger in the queue for 6 seconds, and disappear never to be printed.
    Temporary relief came when we got rid of Adobe Photoshop’s Preferences file. After getting rid of the file and allowing Photoshop to reconstruct it, we managed to print two large files on the printer. Then it failed again. Tried getting rid of the preferences again, and the trick did not work anymore. :-(
    Another temporary relief came when we created another user in the computer. On the new user account it printed again a couple of times only to fail later.
    And yes, the printer WILL print from other Mac programs. If for instance, we open a file on Preview, and send it to the printer and the file will be printed. And yes, we have managed to print very large files with this method.
    In the last couple of days, we have spent 3 hours on the phone with the guys at Epson. They verified the driver and because the computer seems to be communicating with the printer and printing from other Mac applications, they suspected that the problem is with Adobe.
    We called Adobe once, and spent 30 minutes with an Indian fellow who concluded that the problem was with how the computer handles the spooling. According to him, Photoshop sends the file to the computer and the computer seems to get rid of it. So he passed the buck and told us that the problem was with Apple.
    We called Apple and spoke for 30 minutes with a friendly technician, who transferred us to a higher level techno-geek. I spent 1 more hour on the phone with Apple, and we tried everything. We went through Adobe’s knowledgebase and tried every suggested solution (see Adobe’s KB406452). It was with him that we found a temporary fix of removing the Preferences file, but the solution was short lived. He finally thought the problem was with Adobe as the printer is able to print from all applications EXCEPT Adobe Photoshop.
    We called Adobe for the second time...and after waiting on hold from 1 entire hour, we got an Indian technician, that bless his heart, had a very thick accent and had no expertise, in my opinion. He was good at collecting data and he even made me share my computer screen so that he could troubleshoot the problem. After being constantly put on hold by him (because he had to consult with someone else), he passed the buck and said that it was Apple’s problem. I just told him that it was not as likely because all programs print EXCEPT Photoshop. After trying what I would consider a “hail Mary” of DELETING all the printers from my Library folder, and not replacing them, he recorded a case number for another Adobe technician to call us in a few days.
    Because the above technician completely blew the Library, I just erased and reinstalled the OS. This time, I did not allow the OS to be updated - from 10.6.2 (that comes in the box), to 10.6.3. We tried printing using the 10.6.2 and had the same problem. :-(
    Conclusion: I think it is a problem of Adobe CS4 not getting along with Apple’s new operating system. The Epson printer is doing fine, because it has been a product that has been in the market for almost 3 years. What is disappointing is that none of the companies wants to man up and say that it is a problem and that they are willing to work on it. Instead they pass the buck to the next company.
    I can’t believe I am the only person experiencing this. Has anyone had this problem, and have you found a solution or workaround for it?

    Dear Doyle, John and Gator Soup,
    Thank you for your kind replies to my problem.
    PS is assigned 70% RAM. In fact, I have never had so much RAM in my life. Files open at lightning fast speed! :-)  We have never considered a RIP as we do not have an intense workload. In fact all the files we have tried to print print well on our old G4 with Tiger and Photoshop 7, which at the moment has saved our butt. However it would be nice to get the new faster machine with Photoshop CS4 to talk to the Epson 11880.
    Yes, we are printing directly to the printer. We have hooked up the computer via a 6 ft USB cable to the unit.
    The specs and pixel dimensions of a typical file we print are:
    Type of file: tif  (in this case it is an RGB file) // However, we avoid any color management from the computer or the printer when printing it at this time.
    File size: 60 MB
    Pixel size: 6796 x 3100
    Print size: 34" x 16" @ 200 dpi
    I have not tried saving it as a pdf yet. Will try that next.
    I did go to the Console on the Mac though, and recorded its activity between 5:14 pm - 5:19 pm when I tried to print a file.
    Remember, the symptoms are:  We send a file to the printer...The file goes to the printer queue, and it lingers there for 6 seconds. The file then disappears.
    Although there is a cryptic message of "invalid colorspace" in the log, I don't believe that the file is corrupt. First because we have tried several files, second because smaller versions of these can be printed in another Epson 2200 printer, and third because the large format images can still be printed using our old G4 machine with Tiger and Photoshop 7.
    This might provide me with extra ammunition for when I call both Adobe and Apple on Monday. Apple has been quite good on customer support - particularly when they upgrade you to higher level geeks. ;-)   Do you have any idea I what time I should call Adobe so that I can get people on the western hemisphere to answer the phone? It seems that after a certain time they start speaking with an Indian accent over there.
    Enclosed, for whatever is worth, is the Console's log:

  • How does one print to a Large Format Network Printer in Adobe Reader X?

    I have just installed Adobe Reader X on a machine that previously had Adobe Reader 9 (I had to format the hard drive so this is a fresh installation).  When attempting to print to a large format Printer (36x24) across the network I cannot change the paper size.  Despite attempting to change the paper size to a number of different configurations Adobe X will not print anything but 8.5"x11.0" (which is the default paper size on the local printer).  I have tried making the network printer the default printer and that does not make any difference.  Everything worked fine with Adobe Reader 9 but not X.  Can anyone offer any suggestions?
    Also, I can print to both the local printer and the large format network printer fine through other applications.
    Thanks.

    Just finished testing 10.10 printing via a Windows 2008 R2 print share. I also found that when trying to add the printer using CUPS I would get an authentication error. But if I added the printer using the Windows section of the Add printer pane, then I was able to print fine.
    So with you mentioning that using the Windows section of the Add printer window has never worked (which is interesting because it's always worked for me) I want to suggest another approach to adding the printer, still using the Add printer window. With this window open you can right-click on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar. You can then drag the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Then when you select this, you can set the Type menu to "Windows via spoolss" and then enter the URL as smb://servername/sharename. Select the supporting driver and click Add to complete.
    Then when you select to print for the first time using this printer you will be prompted to authenticate. Enter the account details, set the save to Keychain option and OK to send the print job.
    This worked fine for me and creates the same queue as using the Windows add printer setting. Curious to hear if this gets your co-worker printing again.

  • Formatting a document in non-book layout

    How can I go about formatting a document so that the pages are in (say) a 4x3 grid, or whatever, instead of a typical facing or non-facing book format?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your input, everyone.
    I am creating a set of 24x36 inch presentations sheets, which will be arranged on a wall 4 wide by 3 tall.  Should have specified this in the first post.  Creating a 144" x 72" sheet would work, but at print time, I'd have to then take the content from each of the 12 sections and move it to a 24x36 document for plotting, correct? That wouldn't be too much work, and in reality, having the individual sheets next to each other, with no pasteboard in between would be nice, as they'll be trimmed and positioned thusly when I plot...
    Thanks very much.

  • Setting margins using format and document

    I am using Appleworks 6.2.9 with OS 10.6.8.  I tried to change the margins on a document by going to format then document on the drop down menu as I have down a million times before.  This time when I tried to enter .75 for the top and bottom margins, a message popped up which said it was in invalid #.   I also tried .5, 1, .33.    None of these worked.  They have all worked in the past.
    What form does the # need to be in to be able to change the margin width at the top, bottom, and sides?  Nothing I entered worked.
    Thanks!

    There are a lot of things that don't work in Snow Leopard as they used to in earlier versions of OS X. The only thing to do to get all of the functionality of AppleWorks is to use an earlier version of OS X, perhaps Tiger, 10.4.11.
