FM 8 and FM 9 - impossible to create large sized PDFs

This is on Windows Vista, FM 9 and FM 8:
1) Save as PDF does not work when the paper size is 1188 mm x 840 mm (A0 format).
A blank pdf is created or a pdf with a size of 1 mm x 1 mm.
Same with A1 format 594 mm x 841 mm.
A2 format (420 mm x 594 mm) works.
Has anyone seen this before?
2) When I create a blank document, type some text and save as pdf, FM tells me to turn off the pdf option to only embed system fonts because of a missing Times font - a font I did not use in this document.
Are these bugs and if yes, where can I file them?
I have installed the microsoft hotfix that was mentioned in this forum. Same result.
Greetings,
Fridolin Klostermeier

Thanks for all your suggestions.
All the following applies to FM9. This is the version my customer will use, since you cannot buy any other version anymore.
I found out the following: I can produce A0 pdfs in FM9 only when I uncheck the new option "convert cmyk to rgb". A side effect of this is that colors defined as percentage of a process color do not work anymore: 20 % black comes out as solid black in the pdf file, solid black comes out as white. If you redefine the colors as process colors themselves, it works correctly.
The "print into file" mechanism seems to still change cmyk colors to rgb (with no option available to change the behaviour), and therefore the creation of an A0 pdf does not work when I print into the Adobe PDF printer.
As to your suggestions:
- microsoft hotfix did not solve the issue
- reducing the resolution so that longest paper size * ppi < 32000 is no option because the longest paper size is 1188 mm. This gives a maximum resolution of 26 ppi. Pretty low.
Does anyone know if I can control the save as pdf settings dialogue with a preference or ini file? I want to turn off "convert cmyk to rgb" as a default setting, and I want to turn off "create bookmarks" and "create tagged pdf"?
Thanks.
Yours,
Fridolin

Creating Smaller Sized PDFs from FM10

Hello,
I have Tech Comm Suite 3 (FM10, Acrobat X) and using Windows XP. Can I create a PDF out of FM and have it open in Acrobat 7 and later? I know I can manually select that in Acrobat after the document is created (Save As-->Reduced File Size), but I want to do it in FM. Having it open in Acrobat 7 and later dramatically reduces the file size of some PDFs.
I know that I can change the compatibility to any Acrobat by going through the printing setting (Print Setup-->Adobe PDF Properties-->Edit Default Settings-->Compatibility), but selecting Acrobat 7.0 (or Acrobat 8.0) doesn't seem to make it the same PDF file size like manually doing it in Acrobat. I have changed the Standard setting to try and open in Acrobat 7 and Later.
Does anyone have any clues on how I can get it to actually change the print setting?
Thanks,
Scott

... doesn't seem to make it the same PDF file size like manually doing it in Acrobat.
Although fine-tuning all (and there many) settings in Distiller may get you to the size you want, it may not get you all the way there.
We still manually post-process PDFs in Acrobat (Examine Document, Save As Optimized), because I haven't found any Distiller controls that can strip all of the same unwanted meta-data, in particular image previews (thumbnails), but also EXIF data, hidden image content and the like, all of which can represent a substantial percentage of a PDF.

Creating SAME SIZED pdf from two pdf's

i am probably not following instructions very well and i am not finding an explanation in the documentation so i am hoping someone can help me out here.
i have two pdf's. one is a cover page of a magazine and the other is a page inside the magazine where my work is mentioned. i wish to combine these two pdfs into a SINGLE pdf but in a way that both the pdf's are the same size. i feel like i am missing a settings somewhere for this as each time i do this the inside page is printed into the pdf document at half the size of the cover page.
i have tried saving out as png and making sure they are the same size and resolution but this prints (out of Preview) with white borders all around.
i have tried saving out as Optimized pdf and setting the sizes to 8 x 11 and 72 dpi but this then prints out of Acrobat as a highly rasterized document that is unreadable.
can anyone help me with a step by step on how this can be done? it seems like i should just be able to open two random pdf's in the CREATE pulldown and then tell Acrobat to print them at some specified size (this would be very easy!) but i must be missing something.
TIA

Hotwheels 222,
It might help to think of PDF as a container that can have many things such as text, photos, graphics, vector elements,etc all wrapped up inside it.
Normally the content is created in another application such as InDesign, Illustrator, MS Word, or many other appliations. In the application you create a blank document and add or place images, type text in any font you desire, place or create some vector elements (if the application actually have any vector tools), and even other multimedia like audio/video as long as the application supports them,
The photos can all have a different resolution, the vector elements have no resolution (I'll explain), the text may be in many different fonts and they all retain their separate characteristics inside the PDF.
A PDF created from an application like Photoshop will just have one resolution because PS is a pixel based image editor and a PS document can only have a single resolution.
. . .the idea that two adobe products cannot communicate from acrobat to photoshop in terms of a pdf resolution in photoshop seems very inconvenient. . . Again, since a PDF may have many photos with different resolutions, even if PS could get this info (which it can't) what resolution should PS decide to use? PS leaves this up to the user to decide based on what they want their final output may be.
You mention a document you have that "appears to be no images inserted" and "it appears as if it is one image"?
Are you referring to the Cover pdf? The PDF producer is "Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Image Conversion Plug-In" is a tip off to "Test Screen Name" and myself that it came from Photoshop.
While its possible this document was completly created in Photoshop, it is also likely that it was created in another application like InDesign, etc. exported from there as a PDF and then the PDF was opened in Photoshop which rasterized the content and flattened it into a image file with the resolution that you chose when opening in PS and then saved again as just an image in the PDF format. The graphic artist that created this probably did this because they didn't want to give you a print quality PDF that you might try to extract elements from.
You mentioned you thought the doc was from Adobe Illustrator (AI) AI is primarily a vector creation tool which also allow for the inclusion pixel based raster images (with a specific pixel resolution) to be placed in an AI document if wanted. Strictly speaking, vector objects don't have a resolution. They are based on math,
It basically says, place a point at such & such X, Y coordinates, now place another poing at some other X,Y coordinates, it takes into account the arc or angle between the two points and says draw a straight line, or draw a curved line ,etc. Since these are only mathematical instructions. this can be enlarged as big as you want and the relationship between the 2 points and the arc of the curve or line will dictate how the enlarged line or curve will be redrawn.
Vectors are "resolution independent" you can draw a vector logo at 1 x1 inch, and enlarge it to 50 x 50 inches or even as large as a house and it will still print crisp and clean. Note, this only applies to the vector content in your document; any pixel content is stuck at the resolution it was created at.
To inspect elements in a PDF use the Object Inspector in Acrobat Pro. Since a PDF may contain many differing objects you need to click exactly on each object to get any info about the selected object. So if you had 10 photos in your PDF you would need to select each in turn and it would give you the pixel dimension, resolution, color space and profile, etc. if you clicked on text it will identify the font. It is well named, an Object Inspector rather than a Document inspector. Try it yourself with different PDFs you may encounter. If for example, it gives you the exact same info (resolution, pixel dimensions. etc) no matter when you click, then you are likely dealing with a whole single image. If you get different pixel dimension, resolutions when you click in various different areas you are dealing with a PDF that had separate distinct elements.
. . . i can't see why i shouldn't be able to get a document that is 17.7 x 22.9 at 72 ppi down to one that is 8 x 11 at 300 ppi.
In Photoshop, go to the Image menu, Image Size. This will show the pixel dimensions (width & height) at the top. If you don't interpolate (Resample) Photoshop can only put the same number of pixels into different size documents. When you squeeze the same # of pixels into a smaller doc the resolution goes up. When you place the same # of pixels in a larger doc the resolution goes down.
Remember, that resolution is PPI (Pixels Per Inch)! If you do the math this will start to make sense.
Below note that each dialog box has the EXACT same pixel dimensions.
In the first box it shows the 1275 x 1650 pixels in a document of 17.708 x 22.917 inches. This yields a resolution of 72 PPI.
In the second box I changed the document size to 8.5 x 11 inches and the same 1275 x 1650 pixels now increase the resolution to 150 PPI.
In the third box I changed the resolution to 300 PPI and the same 1275 x 1650 pixels now decrease the document size to 4.25 x 5.5 inches.
If you click the Resample Image box, Photoshop will interpolate (resample) the image by throwing away pixels or by adding pixels, but there is no magic involved, and the results are never as good as one might hope for.
Like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, some things are best when they are "just right"

Create continuous page PDF from webpage.

Hello, I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and MS Internet Explorer (FireFox is available), and I would like to create continuous page PDF files from webpages. I am taking webpage data, and making it accessible on an intranet for viewing by our technicians, and creating the PDF with standard pages is making a mess of the data. I have resorted to creating a custom sized page (ie: 8.5" x 153") for each webpage to get everything on one continuous flow. I am hoping someone can tell me a more streamlined method to do this as my current method is very time consuming.

There are plugins available for many browsers that can produce a single
image from an entire web page. You can then easily convert that image into
a single-page PDF file.

Create multi-page PDF with photoshop CS3

Hi,
I have created 8 A4-sized PSD documents in Photoshop CS3 and I would like to create a single PDF document with 8 pages.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I would really appreciate any help that people can offer, as I am stumped!
Thank you in advance,

make sure to change the page layout to that

Problem FCP6. It is impossible to create multicamera clip with DV and HDV.

Problem FCP6. It is impossible to create multicamera clip with DV and HDV. I wish to create the multicamera clip from files dv and hdv. But the program informs that it is impossible because the different size frame. Video dv and hdv in the multicamera are incompatible? (Excuse for possible errors in the text)

How else are you going to use it?
I thought somehow there was a way to use the sequence itself into the multiclip.
Like a nested sequence used as a clip.
Thanks for your help.

HT201060 Impossible to create AppleID's for my kids

I want my kids to have their own ID's for their iPad mini's and Macbooks. But it seems this is impossible for us - someone at Apple hasn't really thought this through from end to end.
1. My 13 and 15 year old cannot create AppleID's either due to their age or because they don't have credit cards.
2. I have a valid AppleID with a debit card, which I cannot use to create child accounts. Like many expats I have a credit card from back home, but because it is not from the country I live in now, Apple doesn't allow me to add this credit card. Apple is making me regret changing my country of residence! My debit card is good enough to charge me hundreds of dollars, but not good enough to create a child account? Hmphf!
3. I tried family sharing but that also doesn't work. You need to be signed in to iCloud and you need OSX 10.10 (which hasn't even been released yet!). How in heaven's name do you sign into iCloud with your AppleID which you don't have because your dad is stupidly trying to create an AppleID for you?!
I gave up on Microsoft years ago because they could not deal with people living abroad, and it looks like Apple is going the same way. Somebody with a brain needs to think this through.
Please tell me how the heck I can give my kids their own ID's without resorting to illegally declaring their ages and payment method? This is so frustrating.

Well, I do know that in some countries, the iTunes store will only accept Credit Cards, or any of these other forms of payments:
What payment methods can I use in the iTunes Store
How about putting your Debit Card on a PayPal account and using that? (just a thought....)
Best of luck, and sorry I don't have any other solutions
Cheers,

Impossible to create an image

Hi all,
i can't create disk image;
i'm using disk utility; the process reaches the 80% about and then it stops.
The error is: "Impossible to create image: input/output image"
I think the error is connected to this problem about superdrive, doesn't it?

Bye!

I've encountered this error also on my MacBook, so, i think i mistake something.
Because if i want to create a .dmg image everything works fine, but if i want to create an image to write on a cd/dvd i encounter that error, both on iMac, both on MacBook.
PS: is it possible to create an image to write on a cd/dvd starting from a cd audio?
Thanks!

Thank you for your answer which is interesting because it is a disk of 2 TB... If I create a partition do you think it can solve my problem? I prefer this old version of Photoshop, very practical to use...

Impossible to create LDAP SYNC user on CUCM with Prime Collab Provisioning

Hello,
Previously, I use Prime Provisionning to create and provision services for static users, it works.
For the same Customer, CUCM and Unity user are now imported from LDAP.
I add the changes in Provisioning processors (LDAP Auth + Sync).
At this time, it's impossible to create new users on CUCM from Provisioning !
Here is my procedure :
- I do a LDAP sync on prime to detect my new AD user.
- I select it and provision services to push on CUCM
- Orders stuck in being provisioned state...
On the CUCM, the user doesn't appear at all.
Is something wrong in my method ?
Do I need to make a LDAP sync on the CUCM to import users, next user synchro on processor in Prime, then edit user ?
Thanks

Clement,
I suspect you have LDAP sync turned on in CUCM. If CUCM is set to sync and does not already have the userID in it's database it will reject a user add.
This is a recognized problem with having both products set to sync. There are some solutions:
Always sync CUCM before you sync Prime Collaboration Provisioning (PCP). This way the new user will already be in CUCM and then will accept a provisioning order from PCP. The frequency of LDAP sync on CUCM will determine how often PCP can push new users to CUCM.
If PCP tries to provision a user but it is rejected by CUCM, provisioning will attempt to send it for 24 hours. There is an assumption that CUCM will sync daily so at some point CUCM will get the userID and then when PCP tries to provision, it will be accepted.
Use the latest CUCM 10.5(x) with a patch that provides the Authenticate Only setting setting. You will have to check with TAC or CUCM Marketing/TMEs for more information. In this case, CUCM will authenticate admins and Jabber clients against AD, but will take users from PCP immediately. The CUCM eng/marketing team has recommended we move away from syncing CUCM when PCP is doing the syncing from AD. CUCM does not need to sync when PCP is present. This eliminates the race condition between which app synced first.

thank you

if your trial is over, it's over. there's no easy way to re-start a 30 day trial even if it ends before 30 days, Adobe trial software expired early
if you only had problem 1, you could probably resolve it by right clicking ae and clicking 'run as administrator'.

Impossible to create a postbox

i can't create a simple postbox in mail, to sort my emails.
in the older version of mail it was no problem to create these folders, but now it's impossible.
intelligent postboxes are possible to create, but this is not what i need.
can anybody help me please?

The Path „~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/XXX.mbox“ could'nt be created.

Mail has a bug that causes ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes to sometimes be a file instead of a folder, and that prevents Mail from creating any mailboxes there.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate Mailboxes. If it’s a file instead of a folder, move it to the Trash.
BTW, you can make your life easier in these forums by going to System Preferences > International, and moving English to the top of the list. The next time you launch Mail, it'll be all in English. You can then go back to the preferences panel and move your preferred language to the top again so that everything else is in that language.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.
