Help! Resizing different documents with different resolutions?

Hello!
Please help me with my situation:
I was trying to make an action that will decrease 1 inch to all sides of my document (the document size was 12x36 inches) and hopefully to other documents.  I don't want to crop the image, I just want to resize the whole image to 10x24 inches, leaving a 1 inch transparent border (the gray and white checkerboard) to my document. I started resizing manually, but it was time-consuming so I tried to make the action I stated above. I was expecting that it would decrease a proportionate 1 inch to the top, bottom, left and right sides of other documents, but it didn't. Any procedure to make this happen in different documents with different sizes and resolutions?
PS: All the the documents that I will resize would eventually be printed ( I don't know if this would help).
Thank you for your help!

Easy to do in a script not so easy in an action unless you know that there is no background layer or that all have backgounds.  You can not add transparent canvas to a document with a background layer for brckground layers do not support transparence. Documents may or mant not have a background layer and background layers can be converted to a normal layer.  Actions can not use logic without using a script to see if there is a background.  My Crafting Actions package contains a utility script for actions that will convert background layers to a normal layer should a document have a background layer. Once you know there is no "Background" the rest is easy to do in an action with menu limage canvas size check relative and set width and height to 1" the will add 1"
Decreasing -1" will CROP any layer the has not transparent pixels in the outter 1"

  • Help converting pages document with images over to a 300 dpi jpg file

    Hi
    I'm pretty new to using Pages.  I have created a 4 page Pages document with a lot of iphoto images.  It's for a elementary school yearbook.  The publisher ulitmately needs a 300 dpi jpg file.
    How do I convert the pages document into a 300 dpi jpg?
    I tried to convert it first to a pdf then to a 300 dpi jpg but when I sent that file over, they said that when they zoomed in, the images all looked blurry.
    Any ideas on what to do without having to start all over again?  Worst case, I guess I can print out in best quality, scan and save as jpg but there's got to be an easier way.
    I'm not a graphic designer, just trying to fuddle my way through so you'll have to go easy on me with the techno speak.  Any cliff notes for mac beginners?
    Thanks much in advance for any help!

    The conversion isn't perfect between Pages and Word. The same font is handle differently in the two applications and so are many other things too. If you are concerned about how it looks use Pdf versions instead.

  • Help please? problems with screen resolution & external monitor

    had a look around this forum and seen many questions about screen resolution when connecting to an external monitor but unfortunately, non that help me answer my problem.
    got a brand new macbook a few months ago and today bought a HP v220 22" external monitor.
    I am new to the idea of external monitors and am unsure what i am doing wrong settings-wise. it seems that no matter what resolution i set either my macbook display, or the external monitor display to. the external monitor is still not sharp.
    Im not sure how to explain what i need but basically i need it to be so that things appear on the external the same size as they do on my macbook screen, so that i will have more space to work in on my external monitor (i am a graphics student) but at the moment what appears on the monitor is lieterally just a magnified version of my macbook screen, hence it lacks clarity.
    the highest resolution offered in the menu for my macbook screen is 1280x800 and my external is recommended to be set at 1680x1050.
    what settings should i have to get the resolution right?
    i will be so so grateful if you can help. i think ive tried every single display setting but to no avail. so please help me!

    The 13.3" screen on the MacBook running at 1280 x 800 will have a ppi (pixels per inch) of around 113. A 22" monitor running 1680 x 1050 will have a ppi of around 90. So it is natural that it will look magnified compared with the MacBook. The two displays have different a pixel pitch.
    Since there are no monitors with ~113 ppi out there in the market, what you want to do with having the same size and sharpness between the MB and a monitor will not be possible.
    If you ran the MB's screen at 1024 x 640 (not even sure if that is an available choice), then the two screens would match in terms of "magnification." But the MB isn't going to look very sharp running such a low, non-native format.

  • How to resize document with content?

    ID CC 2014
    How do you resize a document with content so that the scale of everything is maintained, but the final output is just a smaller size?
    I have a 7x7 square booklet, laid out with content, I want to make this a  6x6 square booklet.

    Thank you.
    …The more I use InDesign and Illustrator the more and more amazed I am at Adobe's ability to entirely disregard features that seem obvious and required. This process should be no more complex than a dialog box, much like Photoshop's "image size" - Enter a new desired page size, and all objects scale up or down in uniform to match the new page size.
    How is this not in the software already?
    I can't be the only one who has had a output size change after the project has started or is finished.

  • Flash website- problems with sizing on different computers- code to resize based on browser/screen resolution

    Ok Guys-
    So I have put up a trial of my flash website-
    www.nicksdesign.com/flash
    I'm new at flash- as this is the first project I've done in
    flash, and the problem is...
    I put the file in a simple HTML file in dreamweaver, and i
    published the files, tested them on my computer, and it's great-
    the size fits enough so that no scrolling is needed.
    However-
    I asked a friend to test it- and on his computer you are
    required to scroll both vertically and horizontally in order to see
    all the content on the 100% flash website.
    My question-
    Are there any codes that can resize the swf file or the HTML,
    based on screen resolution/browser [however- we tested in the same
    browser]
    Any help would be SUPER appreciated
    Best Regards,
    Nick Smith

    I took a look at your html source code, I notice that your
    size of width sets at 1270 while height sets at 537. The width is
    way too wide.
    Secondly, flash-based website aren't that cool.
    Finally, you probably get a better help from Flash forum
    participants. This forum is all about Dreamweaver-related topics,
    and is not about how to create or design Flash for the first time.
    Hope that helps and good luck with your project.
    Cheers, Brian

  • How to resize the front panel to fit different resolutions

    I m using LabVIEW 8.2 on Windows XP SP2
    I've tried both “maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions” and “scale all objects on front panel as the window resizes” selected but just messed up everything when i switched to another different resolution. It's annoying since I'm using 22 inch monitor to do the coding but the user supposed to run it on laptop or wince.
    Any solutions to it?
    Thx in advance.

    Thank you all. Following is the reply from NI support.  I think the best way is to edit vi in low resolution.
    One of the easiest ways to tackle varying screen resolutions is to design
    the front panel to the lowest resolution that you expect it to run on. It
    should then look acceptable on any screen larger than that.
    However, you can get a bit more tricky by programmatically determining the
    computer's screen resolution and then dynamically changing the size of your
    front panel objects. Use an Application Property Node and select
    Display>>All Monitors to return the current screen size. Then, according to
    the screen size, you can size the control or indicator programmatically
    using the Size property node for your front panel objects.
    Ultimately, these issues have often been a result of font size issues.
    Specifically, this can be a problem when two machines have different
    desktop theme/font settings. If your objects are coming out in different
    sizes on different computers, you can setup up LabVIEW to use the same font
    on different systems by modifying the .INI file.
    The easiest way is to do this: use Tools->Options->Fonts from the LabVIEW
    GUI. You can then set the system fonts to anything you want. After you
    have done this on one machine, open your INI file (it is in the same
    directory as the LabVIEW executable) with any text editor and copy the
    corresponding entries to another file. Add these entries to the INI files
    on any machines you want to lock to font. You will probably run into
    issues if you are supporting different platforms (Windows and Mac or Mac
    and Linux, for example), since the fonts you want may not be available on
    both platforms. There are Windows fonts available for both Mac and Linux
    platforms, so this can be somewhat ameliorated.
    This is all I can think of, but that's not to say these are the only
    solutions. You might check the Discussion Forums, as many of our LabVIEW
    Champions have tackled similar issues and offer their expertise as well.
    Here's just a few threads that I'd like to refer you to:

  • Why are my HD videos all importing with different resolutions?

    Hi, I tried looking through like 10 pages of discussions on here and didn't see anybody else having this problem.
    I have a Canon Vixia HF200, I keep the settings on MXP (highest quality 1920 x 1080). Every time I log and transfer my videos they import at different resolutions (everything from the same day will be the same), some of them come in as 1440 x 1080, 720 x 480, etc, when they should all be 1920 x 1080.
    So, since some of them ended up being a completely different aspect ratio, I went into Motion>Distort and changed them all to 1920 x 1080, and I thought it was fine, but now I'm noticing that some of the videos look really out of focus (it seems like they get more out of focus every time I open it), so I'm thinking I probably shouldn't have stretched them....
    I checked the original videos in the browser and they all say 1920 x 1080 now, when I watch them in the viewer, they actually look like good HD videos, but in the canvas they're out of focus...
    I'm also working with multiple sequences, and when I copy videos from one sequence to another, it changes the resolution/aspect ratio/scale again, and becomes more blurry when I try to fix it.
    So basically, I have a huge mess. I'm working on editing a documentary that I'm making and now most of the video looks bad and I'm not sure how to change it back. I even tried starting a new project and importing the original videos, but they don't seem to have the original quality.
    Anybody know how I can either fix this or somehow replace the clips in the sequence with the originals in the browser to at least get some quality back?
    Also, a lot of the time when I render, I come back to the computer and it says something like "Error: Illegal (something) render failed" and completely loses the rendering that it spent a long time doing.
    I appreciate any help.
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    Your 1920x1080 clips most likely import at their normal frame size, and then you placed them in the wrong sequence. Make sure your +File > Easy Setup+ is set to *Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60* before you create a new sequence.

    It doesn't look as if xrandr can help as it reports a maximum virtual desktop of 1680x1680.
    Because the two monitors are different resolutions I don't know if a single screen is the answer.
    I used to have two displays/screens configured to two different resolutions matching the monitors using the catalyst driver but can't get it working using the xf86-video-ati driver.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Is it possible to publish a project with a different resolution than the native project resolution?

    I think I know what the answer is going to be here, but I'm going to ask anyway. The background here is that I've made a few demo videos for new products and features my company is working on. I'm using CP4 for this. Our marketing department wants to take AVIs of my demos and insert them into their Powerpoint demonstrations. However, the native resolution of our demos doesn't make for a graceful import into Powerpoint. Thus, I've been directed to provide smaller res AVI files.
    Thus, I am wondering if you can publish a project at a different resolution than the one in which it was recorded. My initial poking around seems to indicate that the answer is "no," and if this is truly the case, I will be rumbling over to the "Suggest a Feature" forum soon. There does seem to be a kind-of-workaround in that you can change the resolution of the project before publishing it, but this is something that cannot be undone, meaning that in order to do this, I will have to save new, smaller versions of all my projects. This is a bit ungainly.
    So, if anyone knows a good trick here, I would love to hear it!

    Unfortunately, I don't know what you mean when you say "manual panning." And I'm really not sure what you mean when you say the fields are not fully visible in the original image; they are completely visible. Here's a close-up from the original slide:
    As you can see, the fields are completely visible.
    Also, the slide is not entirely static. For the slide I chose as an example, the Password is filled in before the mouse moves. This typing may be part of what is getting Captivate confused; note this sequence from the resized version of the project:
    Slide 35:
    The login window first appears. Everything is normal. During this slide, the mouse moves and clicks inside the User ID field, leading to...
    Slide 36:
    At this point, things begin to go awry. The user name is entered, and the cursor moves to the Password field.
    Slide 37:
    Whoops! As soon as we click Login, everything goes back to normal.
    Slide 38:
    I will try a few of the suggestions you offered, and will report back with the results.

  • Consuming document with different account assignment from Earmarked Funds

    Hi,
    We have implemented Public Sector FM functionality in version ECC 6.0 and we are using Earmarked Funds (Funds Reservation).
    The system is allowing to post consuming documents with different account assignment from that in the
    Funds reservation document nevertheless we donu2019t have set the indicator 'Acct.asst.changeable' in the Funds Reservation document.
    I don't need the fields Fund Center and Commitment Item to be transfered from earmarked funds document (Define Rules for Account Assignment Transfer). Instead, if consuming document have a different account assignment, the user should get the error message no. RE603 'Account assignment differs from document XX 001'.
    In version 4.6C it worked this way. In our case the Fund Center is delivered from Cost Center and Commitment Item is delivered from Cost Element (SAP - Derivation Strategy for FM Object Assignment).
    I hope someone can help me.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rodrigo

    Hi,
    You get the error message RE603 when you make the settings below:

  • Bridge_How Fit-to-Screen with different resolution pictures in Fullscreen/Slideshow

    Hallo,
    I´m looking for a solution for my following problem:
    I have several photographs in totally different resolutions. Some are pretty small, some are huge.
    I want to show them with Bridge in FullScreen-Preview or maybe as a slideshow.
    How can i bring them all to fit the whole screen, even if the resolution is to small to fit regularly.
    In other words, is there an option for dynamic zooming to bring every frame to FIT the Screen, regardless which resolution it got?
    I discovered "scale to fit" in the slideshow options, but it doesnt work for me.
    An zooming every file in the right position and size is not an option.
    Im sure Bridge is able to do it, beacause even IrfanView and ApplePreview are able. But where to find this option?
    Can anybody help?
    Thank you a lot
    best regards
    madlo

    As far as I know, Bridge will not enlarge small images. If you hit '+' on fullscreen preview, it zooms in, but keeps the same zoom for every image.

  • HP 6730b can I swap screens with different resolutions?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to swap screens with different resolutions on a HP 6730b?
    Mine is 1680x1050 pixels and I want to find a 1280x800 screen to replace it.
    (letters are far too small for an old fart like me. ;-)
    The resolution list does support 1280x800 but it looks like viewing the screen through dirty glasses.
    Just wondering if the interface is the same.
    Cheers, 
    Bas

    Usually people want to go in the other direction. Here is the Service Manual:
    Manual link
    The parts list shows a panel that is SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) and a WXGA (1280 x 768 or 800) panel.
    There are multiple motherboards, but the only difference appaears to be whether there is a slot for a cellular card or not. In other words if you install the WXGA panel the motherboard should work with it and you will get 1280 x 800 resolution looking good. Laptop displays and other digital panels only work at their maximum aka native resolution and you get that muddy look if you try to run them at a lower res. You want to buy the whole panel with the cable designed for the WXGA....sometimes the cables will not work with a different resolution screen. Post back if you need further help finding a screen. You may find it cheaper and easier to sell or trade your laptop for one with the lower resolution screen.

  • How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
    The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
    The second is a bit trickier.

  • Multiple displays with different resolutions

    The system is setup with two non-mirrored displays with the following resolutions: A) 1024x768 and B) 1280x1024 arranged as BA with A the menu'd display using an ATI 9000 Pro for Mac. During startup, approximately once inch worth of the menu's right items momentarily appear on the right side of display B 768 pixels down from the top. This problem only occurs in this BA configuration of differing resolutions and is independent of graphics cards (substituted the 9000 Pro with a mirror only AGP Navidia card and a mirror only PCI ATI Rage card combination which gave the same result). This problem first appeared using MacOS 10.3 which displayed several inches of menu instead of only an inch under MacOS 10.4. Anyone else seen this problem?
    Dual 800 MHz QuickSilver   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Over the weekend, I explained this problem to one of the Apple Geniuses at an Apple store and then was able to duplicate the issue using a lap top and attached monitor in the store (not the same resolutions as my system; but, screens of similarly different resolutions). I raise this issue again because, as of late, additional things have been happening and I wonder if these are related to the core issue of an expanded desktop with two different screen resolutions. All of the widgets on the larger resolution screen desktop are drawing in the menu located in the smaller resolution screen when hitting the "i" to gain access to its control panel; however, not effecting the menu at all when moved to the smaller resolution screen. The other has to do with screen savers periodically blanking both monitors (as though the graphics card went to sleep) or having both monitors lose syncing (first occurrence today) where a cold start is required to bring the monitors on line again (I am going to have to figure out a way to test if the system is actually sleeping or the monitors have only gone blank before cold starting the system).

  • How do I create a PDF document with multiple different page sizes?

    I scan tif images and can have a single document with Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and even full map plan sizes (36" X 24") all in one document.  I get the document all set, then do a: File, Print, choose Adobe PDF (running Acrobat XI Pro), but it converts all the pages in my tif file to a single size.
    I've found where to set the size, but the problem is I have many different sizes.  Is there a way to have the Adobe PDF printer, just use the original documents page sizes for each page when converting?

    The program I use to create the TIF files (OpenText's eDOCS Imaging) does not make PDFs, it makes TIFs (and TIFFs).  To then convert this, if I try to do it through Adobe directly, I get an error which prompts me to open it in the native program and to choose print and then select the adobe printer.
    This works perfect if every page is the same size, but many times my documents have many different page sizes  as well as portrait and landscape within the same document (but that is a separate option).
    Doesn't Adobe have a "use the original page size / orientation" as an option when creating PDFs from existing documents?
