How can i convert/invert colors in a scanned pdf blueprint?

We have several large format blueprints to scan in and I want to change the blue to white and white to black so I can view/print them.  Is this possible?

Try changing the settings on your scanner to scan using greyscale.  That's probably the most effective way to get the color shift you're looking for.

  • How can I convert an entire excel workbook to pdf?

    How can I convert an entire excel workbook to pdf?  I have the box in the preferences for converting excel files marked to convert the entire workbook.  I am using Abobe Acrobat 11 Statndard.  This previously worked fine when I was using Adboe Acrobat 10 Statndard.  Now in order to convert the entire workbook I have to open the excel file, Highlight all the workbook tabs and then save the file.  Any ideas?

    In Acrobat click Edit | Preferences | Convert to PDF: select Microsoft Office Excel, then click on Edit Settings.  Make sure that 'Convert entire Excel workbook' is checked.

    How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher document to PDF format. I have free version of Acrobat.

    Hi raythree,
    I'm sorry that your PDF conversion is working. Can you please tell me if you're getting a specific error message? Knowing that can help pinpoint the cause of the conversion failure. However, here are a couple of things that you could try:
    Clear your browser cache (steps to do this vary by browser).
    If you're using a work computer, check with your IT team to confirm if you have firewall/proxy settings that restrict the ability to upload files to the Internet.
    Try another web browser.  A list of supported browsers for accessing the ExportPDF service is available here: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
    Also, note that there is a 100MB file size limit, so if your publisher file is larger than that, it won't upload to ExportPDF.
    I hope this helps. But let us know if you need further assistance.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How can I convert from color balance in FCE to color balance in FCPX?

    Let me start off by saying that I've been having an issue with a project in Final Cut Express - a project I'd put a lot of time into and thought I was finished with. Before continuing on, I encourage you to take a look at my other thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18702933?ac_cid=op123456#18702933
    Realizing that there may be no one who can walk me through fixing my project as is, I decided to download a trial version of Final Cut Pro X and see if I could replicate my project there and have more success (after all, it was only a matter of time before I switched anyway).
    So, in my original project in FCE, I keyed a lot of frames with different color balances. I downloaded the Ripple Training color balance effect to do just that, but the sliders are set up differently. In FCE, they range from -1 to 1. In FCPX, they range from 0 to 1. I'm wondering how I can conveniently convert the values from FCE to FCPX. Being terrible at math has made this much harder.
    Just by drawing a diagram, like the following, I can figure out the basics:
    FCE
    [-1]-----[-.5]-----[0]-----[.5]-----[1]
    is equal to:
    FCPX
    [0]-----[.25]-----[.5]-----[.75]-----[1]
    Since I have very specific numbers, not all of which can be easily converted using a basic diagram like the one above, I definitely need some help here. For example, one of the values in FCE is .77. What would that be equal to in FCPX? It's probably something simple, but like I said, I'm stupid when it comes to math.
    Thanks to anyone who can provide me with some help here, although I still hope that I'll end up having no reason to redo everything in FCPX.

    Well, the "math answer" is .885…but I'm afraid that's not likely to be of much help. FCPX and FCE have absolutely nothing in common, including filters land color correction. So even if you sent the time comverting all your numeric values, I'm guessing you'll wind up with a mess and be very frustrated with all the time wasted in the workaround.
    If I read your original FCE thread correctly, I if it were my project., I'd do a test on a short clip in X to see whether yoi can the effects and quality you expect. If you can, great.  Build you project from scratch and learn a new NLE at the same time.
    Good luck.

  • How can I convert a word file into a pdf and then upload to a web site?

    I need to convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
    site. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

    Hi there,
    There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
    1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
    2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
    3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
    4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
    5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
    6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
    7. Select the  file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share  from the file context menu.
    8. Select Allow Anyone With A  Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then  click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is  copied onto the clipboard.
    9. Open the HTML file and paste  the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type  that you can convert to PDF.
    Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

  • How can I change the file version for scanned PDFs to 1.4 when using the "PDF from Scanner" feature from Acrobat XI? By default it's always saved as 1.5.

    Because our IT system can only handle PDFs with versions up to 1.4, we need to "PDF from scanner" feature to store the scanned PDFs in version 1.4.
    Acrobat 9 always saved it in 1.4, but starting with Acrobat X, the PDFs are saved in 1.5.
    There must be a setting or configuration somewhere where I can change this.
    I already tried modifying the distiller's standard joboptions, but that did not work.
    Thanks for any help

    We use in our software an open-source pdf library that only supports pdf versions up to 1.4. I know it is old, but it's not that simple to exchange it.
    But I just had a look into the Actions as you suggested. This way I get it to work. It costs one additional click, so that's acceptable.
    Thanks for the support.

  • How can I convert RGB Color to Black-White Color?

    Dear everyone!
    I am using Photoshop CS5. I have got a file from my customer which is done as RGB and the resolution is 300dpi. There are black texts and color images in the file. I wish to print Black-White Process Film (1 black color), but I don't know how to solve it. I started converting my file to Grayscale and then the black texts are not black enough because it becomes lighter. When I go to Level and adjust the color, both the image and texts becomes darker. What must I do to make only texts blacker without effecting the image?
    Please find the attached file for the reference.
    For more information, please let me know.
    My Best Regards,
    LUCK

    What file format was supplied to you? Was it truly RGB @ 300ppi or did you rasterize a PDF?
    300ppi is lousy for text. You might converse with your customer to instruct them on the ideal way to supply a file to you.

  • How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher doc to PDF when the file size is LARGE?

    I have a Microsoft Publisher document that I need converted to PDF. Typically I have no issues converting from Publisher to PDF (and usually can just do it through the "save as" feature in Publisher.) However, this particular file is laden with graphics and therefore very large. I was able to convert it once, but it made some of the graphics as blank boxes. When I try again to convert, it gives me an error message.
    Is there a way to conver a LARGE Publisher file to PDF without losing any of the images contained within the document? Please help!

    Try emptying the Temp folder. Are you using PDF Maker (not sure that is available for Publisher) or the MS plugin? If PDF Maker, try turning off the tags and reducing the amount of bookmarks needed to a minimum. As an alternative, simply print to the Adobe PDF printer -- will typically give a smaller file and not run into these creation problems for large document, but you will not get bookmarks or such in the conversion process.
