Flattening vector-drawings for pdf-presentation

as an architecture firm, we are using lots of (heavy) vector drawings (eps or pdf) in indesign. when exported to a pdf-presentation (no printing purpose, only screen-presentations), the pages containing these vector drawings take often too much time to load on screen. what is the best way to reduce these vector-drawings (i.e. completely flatten them), without affecting the images on other pages of the presentation? thanks.

Are these drawings just for on-screen presentation? If so you might give this blog post a read - I think David in the first few comments hit the nail on the head.

If you need more detail on creating this flattener preset then do ask.
But you know it would decrease the quality of your images - so the PDF would be good for onscreen - but you wouldn't want to print with it.
It's either the vector data or the raster data - the vector being the better but slower redraw on your screen, like you're getting now.

CS3 PS PDF files for PDF Presentation . . . help!!!!

I have made PDF presentation in previous versions of PS through automate or using Bridge. I used both jpeg and PS generated PDF files to create the presentation and never had a problem. I used the same file size and format to create a new presentation (section and title sheets with type) and could not get the pdf to view to be crisp and clear. I remade the base psd file to be twice the size, created PS PDFs and Bridge says it can't utilize the files. I've tried everything!! Does anybody know what the best format is for a PS based doc to be made into pdfs for a presentation????

Using Remote/Clicker for PDF presentation

I know in PowerPoint, you can use a remote/clicker to cycle through the slides. I am looking to do the same thing but using a PDF.
I want to be able to remotely control the PDF presentation using a remote/clicker.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Rob

It is possible. I have used a laser pointer/remote mouse that can act as
a clicker and it worked well using Acrobat 7 and 8 under both Windows
and Mac OS.

Bring back PDF Presentation...

Hi for some reason in CS4 they got rid of the PDF Presentation option. I find this a amazing too. Many times when I have lots of windows open this is the easiest way to combine them in a PDF ready to send to the client.
For the life of me I can't understand why you got rid of this feature.
Please bring it back!!!

I hope everyone in this thread is aware that you are supposed to use Bridge now to do this. Its fairly efficient, and has a lot of options as far as I can see.
There are several things that make PDF Presentation and LayerComps to PDF superior to the Output Module in Bridge.
First, if one has several images of the same size that they simply want to create a PDF from at the native resolution, it is easy to do with PDF Presentation. Setting up the proper document size, resolution, layout, etc. in Bridge is cumbersome, by comparison.
Second, in order to create a multi-page PDF document in Bridge, you have to save those files separately in Photoshop, then jump to Bridge, then create the PDF. Suppose your protocol requires you to save intermediary files, they you may have dozens or hundreds of potentially large, multi-layered documents that take up gigabytes of space in this scenario.
Third, with LayerComps to PDF, the case is even stronger. In this case you have only one document, but may have hundreds of LayerComps. To create a multipage PDF document you have to export each LayerComp to a separate file, save them, navigate to Bridge, then deal with creating the PDF document in the same resolution, etc. Even if you don't have a requirement to save intermediary files, you have spend considerable time and used substantial hard drive space to create those intermediary files that didn't used to need to be created.
The Output Module in Bridge is great - but it isn't a replacement for PDF Presentation or for LayerComps to PDF. A common workflow for me now takes substantially longer, is more difficult to accomplish, and creates hundreds of intermediary files that I have no need of.

Automatically rasterize all vector drawings (minus texts) in the PDF

Hi
I looked at the Adobe Acrobat documentation and also inside FAQs of this forum for did not find this specific information. If I missed anything, please just tell me
I have a PDF containing lot's of vector drawing made in Illustrator. The PDF was generated from Adobe InDesign. So the PDF is a mix of texts and vector drawings.
I want to send this PDF document in web, but, for some legal purposed, these vector drawings should all be rasterized. For sure I can open each .AI original document, rasterize all the content, then relink to the InDesign Document (so the exported PDF is text and all as raster images).
But, as I'm referring to 100 pages PDF, containing, at minimum, 150 vector drawings, this takes a long time to open each artwork in Illustrator and manually generate a rasterized copy to use in the final PDF.
So the question is: Is there any way (in Acrobat or any plug-in, app...) to open a PDF document, then automatically rasterize all vector drawings (minus texts) in a specific resolution? For example, rasterize all to 150 pixels per inch.
Using Acrobat DC in Windows 8.1 OS.
Thank you very much
Gustavo.

Hi Aandi
Thank you for the answe!!!
Do you see any workaround I could try? Or the way is to really open each .AI file in Illustrator, then rasterize manually?
Best Regards
Gustavo.

Can a pdf presentation be converted to a format for a dvd to play on TV?

Mac OS 10.4.11
Acrobat Professional 8.1.2
I have a whole series of pdf presentations containing 80 to 200 images each. I need to be able to put this information onto a DVD such that Joe Public can view it on a TV. Clearly I could not rewrite every presentation. Is there any way of converting the pdf's to a format suitable for use on a DVD and playable on a TV?
Laurie

Hi Terry,
Probably you are not catching the UMException.
put the code under try{ }catch{} block.
try{
String userid="terry";
IUser user = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID(userid);
}catch(UMException e){
System.out.println("Error Occured" + e);
If you want to know this in detail send me a mail on [email protected] and I can help you with some snippet.

No PowerPoint or PDF after installing Fix Pack 2 for Xcelsius Present 2008

Have installed Fix Pack 2 for Xcelsius Present 2008
Seemed like big improvement - smoother and no crashes.
But -
Exported to PowerPoint, closed everything down. Opened PowerPoint file and nothing.
Exported to PDF - said that I should upgrade to new Flash program. Installed Flash 10. - Opened PDF file and nothing.
Please help

Hi Bruce,
Try exporting to .SWF and seeing if you can run that without a problem.
Then try importing that .SWF into PowerPoint to see if you can set that up without a problem.
From there we can see if it is an Xcelsius issue or another PC issue.
Thanks,
Brian

HELP!!Need to import and print vector drawings

I am trying this topic again in the hope of help. I need to
import drawings in a vector format for printing. These drawings
will be cast members not sprites. I have tried printing a swf
version via Printomatic but it cannot print Flash members. My
questions are:
1. Is therre any way to print a swf cast member (not a
sprite)
2. How can I import an EPS file? - I have heard that it can
be done but every version I have tried seems to fail

Darrel Plant has written an importer for .ai and .eps files.
You can get
it at:
http://www.moshplant.com/direct-or/ps2vs/
Haven't used it for a while but it works pretty good.
Downside is that it creates multiple members because Director
can't
(couldn't?) handle multiple-line vector members.

Checking for PDF 1.7 compatibility in Preflight (Acrobat 9 Pro)

Hi,
I've noticed that in the given Preflight profiles in Acrobat 9 there is no compatibility check for PDF 1.7, only 1.6. is there a profile i can load? or a set of checks i can make a profile in order to determine 1.7 compatibility?
Thanks,
Yair Agmon.

Hi,
Knowing a PDF file's version premits deduction of what version "compatibility" is present.
Version 1.7 (Acrobat 8.x) lacks compatibility for Acrobat 9.x specific features.
Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x) lacks compatibility for Acrobat 8.x specific features.
And so forth.
Certainly, not an elegantly simple approach; but, nevertheless it is functional.
Using Acrobat Professional/Extended 9.x -
Open the Preflight dialog.
Advanced > Preflight
From the Options drop-down menu, Select "New Preflight Profile".
The Prefight: Edit Profile dialog opens.
A default profile name is provided (New Profile <number>).
Initially, Click the Save button to save the profile. You can rename it later.
Note that "New Profile" is placed in "Custom
Now, locate your "New Profile" in the column at the left of the dialog and select
"Custom checks".
The available custom checks list loads in the pane to the right.
Above and to the right is a "Find" field.
Enter the string "version".
A filtered list appears.
A custom check is available for "versions newer than":
1.2 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.6 | 1.7
and there is a custom check for "version older than 1.3".
Add the desired custom check to the profile. Save.
Configure the check for Error | Warning | Info
Info is "Notification" in the report that can be provided.
Once you have configured "New Profile" it can be used by a Batch Sequence to check multiple files.
When a Preflight is selected for use by a Batch Sequence you can configure for a "on success" and/or "on error" report.
Be well...

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Resolution problem with pdf presentation from CS4 in Bridge

I have CS4 and am consistently having problems creating multipage pdf files using Bridge; though they are created using 300 dpi files in Photoshop CS4 the resulting multipage pdfs from Bridge are not print quality. I never had a problem with this before Bridge was required to create pdf presentations. The files used to create the presentation in Bridge are either psd or Photoshop pdf at 300 dpi. I am completely self-taught in Photoshop and my skill level is moderate at best, but I am not finding anything to help me so far in searching google and forums. Does anyone have any info to point me in the right direction? thanks-

Have you applied all the updates for photoshop cs4 including this one:

Hi Sara!
Yes this sounds interesting. Can I update to that from the PDF Export I have just renewed? How much would that cost?
Thanks for your quick answer.

White line in PDF Presentation

I have created a PDF Presentation in CS3 using 120 jpg images. An occasional page has a thin, white line across it, cutting through both text and image. Does anyone know what is causing this? I work on Mac G5 with OSX.

I checked again and am looking at the white lines when at 100%. However, if I boost it up to 122% it disappears. Then when I drop back to 100% it is gone! I am not interested in printing, but am producing disks with the pdf for family enjoyment (I hope). I'll have to see what happens when I burn it on to a disk. Thanks everyone for your comments and help.

Photoshop/Bridge CS4 PDF Presentation Update or Plug-in

Full Parameter PDF Presentation is essential for me.
PDF Presentation (as in Photoshop - Bridge CS2 and CS3) with panels for selection of presentation prameters and saving with various levels of jpeg compression and image quality, presets and output color conversion, etc. . This was not only a very useful feature, but has become a required component of my workflow over the past three years. This to shoot all imaages in RAW, upload files to Bridge, develop a wide range of selected images with Camera RAW and then produce a PDF slide show of 20-25 'proofs' while still in Bridge with a size of 10-15MB that can be emailed to various recipients for review and final selection. Final selections are then fine truned in Photoshop for printing. While some of the improvements in CS4 are useful, CS3 at present is more satisfactory and remains more useful than the CS4 upgrade. Addition of this feature as an update or legacy plug-in (the basic componets exist in CS4) would be more than acceoptable and allow me to complete the upgrade to CS4. Your attention and help will be very much appreciaated!

APOLOGIES!!!
I just found it......
Using the Adobe Output Module script, you can create Adobe PDF contact sheets and presentations in Adobe Bridge. Contact sheets let you easily preview and catalog groups of images by displaying a series of thumbnails on a single page. PDF presentations let you use a variety of images to create a multipage document for slide show presentation. You can set options for image quality in the PDF, specify security settings, and set the document to open automatically in full-screen mode in Adobe Acrobat. You can also add the filename as a text overlay below each image in the PDF.
1. Select the files or the collection or folder that contains the images you want to include in the contact sheet or presentation.
2. Choose Window > Workspace > Output.
If the Output workspace is not listed, select Adobe Output Module in Startup Scripts preferences.
Adobe Bridge displays the Output panel at the right side of the window and the Folders panel at the left. The Content panel with your selected photos appears at the bottom of the window, and the Preview panel appears in the middle.
3. In the Output panel, select PDF.
4. Choose a layout option from the Template menu.
5. With your photos selected in the Content panel, click Refresh Preview to view the contact sheet in the Output Preview panel.
Note: The Output Preview panel displays only one PDF page.
6. Customize the appearance of the contact sheet by specifying options in the Document, Layout, Overlays, and Watermark areas of the Output panel.
7. (Optional) Change the images in the PDF by navigating to them in the Folders or Favorites panel, and then selecting them in the Content panel. You can also use the Preview panel to preview the images and refine your selection. Drag thumbnails in the Content panel to rearrange the order of the images on the page.
8. Click Refresh Preview at any time to update the PDF and see the changes in the Output Preview panel.
9. For presentations, specify the following options in the Playback panel:
Open In Full Screen Mode
Opens the PDF in full-screen mode in Adobe Acrobat.
Advance Every [x] Seconds
Specifies how long each image is displayed before the presentation advances to the next image. The default duration is 5 seconds.
Loop After Last Page
Specifies that the presentation automatically starts over after reaching the end. Deselect this option to stop the presentation after the final image is displayed.
Transition
Specifies the transition when moving from one image to the next. Choose a transition from the Transition menu. Depending on the transition, you can also specify a Direction and a Speed.
10. If youd like to automatically open the PDF in Acrobat after you save it, select View PDF After Save at the bottom of the Output panel. Otherwise, just click Save.
11. In the Save (Windows) or Save As (Mac OS) dialog box, enter a name for the PDF, select a destination for the saved file, and then click Save.

Can i make PDF presentation 'repeat' on Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

Hi!
Im a new here, and i have little problem which i hope you can help me.
So i must do PDF-presentation which repeat after last page. So when the presentation goes last page it must jump first page, and start presentation again. But i cant find where i can do that trick. So could anyone here help me with that problem? Im using Adobe Acrobat X Pro software. So how i can make presentation repeat, or need i some other software?
I have tried make Action Wizard new action on "document processing" tab and there "set open options" that makes presentation "single page continous", but that dont make presentation to repeat. So i do something wrong, or that is wrong place where i try do that.
So im little bit stuck with that, and need advices.
Thanks!

You can define a Page Action for the last page in the document, and make it reset to page 0. Right-click a page in the thumbnails panel on the left, choose Properties, then Actions.
To avoid missing the last page and messing about with timing code, the simple fix is to add a blank page to the end of the document, and give it a 'Page Open' action of "Go to a page View" which moves to your first page.
