How can I create an accessible tagged PDF in Illustrator CS6?

I have put alt text on the slices but when I save the file as a PDF it isn't tagged. How can I use these alt tags to make the PDF accessible? How can I tag the text in the Illustrator file so it is tagged in the PDF?

I do wonder why there are instructions on how to add alt tags in Illustrator, and they only work if you create HTML. It sounds like Illustrator is going to be a legacy product in favour of InDesign, if it can't create tagged PDFs with Alt Tags for images. In this case, the Illustrator file is placed in InDesign, so even though InDesign can create tagged PDFs, the tagging doesn't work for placed Illustrator content. So it sounds like we either do the tagging from scratch in Acrobat, as you say, or we try to bring in the content directly into InDesign and tag it there.
If only Adobe wholeheartedly supported accessible documents so we could more easily use it to meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards which are mandatory for our organisation. We are looking at CommonLook software to make the process of creating accessible PDFs easier and quicker. It's just hard to believe the lack of support from Adobe on this. Acrobat doesn't even come close to checking against WCAG 2AA and the online help is very hit and miss and full of broken links. For such an expensive product it's very disappointing, so thank goodness for other companies who see this as an opportunity to provide a better service.

How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6?

How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6? I have read references to the "desktop" setting but cannot find it. I am trying to find the right settings for a 1080 px x 486 px video (which I need to qualify for hi res on Vimeo). I need to output a 450 x 1000 px video for
my website. Ideally, I'd like the sequence settings as well as the output settings. I am using still shots- no actual video.

What are the exact properties of the still images, particularly the pixel dimensions and pixel aspect ratio (PAR).* The letterboxing (black bars top & bottom) is most likely a result of a mismatch in these settings. If this is the case, then the easiest fix is to make sure not only the dimensions but the PAR match.
Say for instance your source images are 1000x1000 with a PAR of 1.0 (square pixels) and your sequence is set also set to 1000x1000 but with the PAR set to D1/DV NTSC (0.9091), the result would be letterboxing as seen here:
*if you're not sure about the PAR of your source images, right click on one of them in the Project panel and select Properties.

How can you create a multi-page pdf document in photoshop elements 13?

I previously had pse 11 and was able to create multi-page documents as pse files. However, pse 13 does not allow. How can I create multi-page pdf files from pse 13?

Alas, for one of those mysterious adobe reasons, it's gone in recent versions. Only multipage file you can make is a photobook.

How can I create an accessible PDF using Pages?

I am interested in being able to use Pages (and actually also Keynote) to produce accessible PDF documents, ideally following the PDF/UA standard.
Government agencies require that electronic is created and shared in an accessible fashion.
I know it is possible to create accessible PDF (or well-tagged PDF) in Microsoft Word - but only on Windows unfortunately. I could also use OpenOffice, but to be honestly I find Pages is the more productive tool for me.
Any pointers as to whether and how to create accessible PDF from Pages would be more than welcome....

Hi there, I suppose I didn't make myself very clear. I am working for a regional organization for persons with disabilities and we create publications that are accessible to various kinds of disability, i.e. deaf, blind, etc. We convert ordinary reports to accessible text for the benefit of the blind. There are programs/apps that provide sound/voices that will 'read' the text. Acrobat PDF has such a feature called 'Readable PDF', which if composed properly via tagging, etc, will be converted and saved as 'readable PDF'. You can do this using In-Design. But I am also looking at the possibilities for Pages (I like this program a lot because it's easy) but I am not sure if there are tagging features here that will allow be to prepare the report as a 'Readable PDF' file. Thanks!

How can I create prefilled and editable PDF's on a Linux server with PHP?

I can create PDF's with editable form fields (extended features?) and serve those to our users and I can pre-fill form fields with data from the database using FDF, but then the PDF throws an error and the end user can't fill out the remaining fields (in Reader, it still works in Pro).
I've tried 2 open source approaches already, but the end result is either a fillable form or a pre-filled form. I can't seem to do both at the same time.
I've looked around adobe.com and frankly there's just so much stuff there that isn't even applicable it's staggering. I am completely lost and resorting to asking a question on a forum. I've searched these forms (and others), but anything related to this problem have no answers. I'm sure there's a way to do it.
If I try to set the PDF to fetch the FDF using a http post/submit (can I get it to do that when it loads?) I would still have to get an id number into the query string or object on a per document basis (some how?) and that means editing the PDF server side which breaks the structure which then throws the error on the client side and I'm right back at the beginning again.
At this point, it looks like it's going to take less time to simply create the form in HTML with a unique CSS file for the print version using a PNG for visual elements instead of a PDF. Not a great way to go for printing, but it would only take a day to set up. The time to create new forms is the issue. I don't want to spend 8 hours creating new HTML forms when I can do a PDF in 2 hours. Is it more efficient to go with an Adobe solution or roll my own HTML version?
All I want to do is help the users save some time by pre-filing part of the form so they can print it.
Any advice?

Ok, I hope someone can move this to the Adobe Reader for Android forum, where you will find the experts you need.

I am unable to specify my own tag name. How can I change the tag name to one of my interest.
I need to create 3 partitions as told below
partitions:
/earth
/mars
/work
/earth and /work should be roughly equal in size, /mars should be twice the size of the others, if that is possible. If not 3 partitions of equal size will do.
Please, help me .
Thank you.

Exactly 1TB? Slightly under/slightly over?
Traditional Solaris disk labels are in VTOC format, but this format cannot describe disks larger than 1TB. So EFI labels must be used on disks larger than 1TB. Setup is slightly different.
Are these physical disks or LUNs from a SAN array? If they are array LUNS, it is often the case that they don't have a Sun label of any type. So...
#1 Apply a Solaris label
If the LUNS don't have a label (when selected in 'format', it gives a warning that no label is present and offers to apply a label immediately). When run non-interactively, format assumes "yes" for any questions. So all you'd have to do is select every disk to have it apply labels to any unlabled disk. Run 'format' once and find the highest number (maybe it's 50 for you). Create a text file that looks like this:
disk 1
disk 2
disk 3
disk 50Then feed that to format like this:
# format -f /tmp/disklist or whatever you've named the file.
#2 Apply the partition layout to all disks you want.
You asked if you should do the same procedure, but I don't see that you've actually done anything above other than print out the existing layout. Take one of your 48 drives and partition it the way you want manually (set the slices to the sizes that you want). Then you can copy the layout of that disk to others. You only want to do this between disks/LUNs of the same size. As an example, if you've explicitly partitioned c1t0d0 and you want to apply this to c1t1d0, do this:
# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2Repeat for all of your other disks.

How can I create sharp screenshots in PDF format?

I would like to create sharp screenshots in PDF format, but whenever I use Grab (Version 1.3(90)) for my screenshots the images turn out to be somewhat fuzzy. The shots that I want to take are of the whole screen, with the browser Safari open, showing webpages with significant detail. I use Grab, and then convert to PDF. I import those files into Latex using TexShop. The images turn out to be fuzzy. If projected on a large screen, I can't read the text in the webpage. It is as if someone with a trembling hand had held a camera at the screen. Is there any way of creating sharp screenshots in PDF? Many thanks for any help.

Hi tilmat,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
The sharpness of screenshots is limited by the resolution of the screen. A normal CRT-display has a resolution of 72 dpi which is less than half the resolution of 150 dpi you would use for low quality print-outs. So, unless you make the screenshot smaller by a factor of at least 2 it will always be a little blurry.
You can change the format of the screenshots with utilities such as TinkerTool.

How can I create a border around an image in cs6?

I would appreciate advice on how to place a border around an image in cs6.
Thanks in advance.

To add to the previous responses, if you want this only for 1 image on your page, you could either assign a specific ID or CLASS to the DIV that holds that image and assign CSS for that in particular like this:
HTML
<img src="./your/path/to/img.jpg" id="imgwithborder" />
CSS
img#imgwithborder{
border: 1px solid black; /* will render a 1px solid black line on all 4 sides */
Alternatively, you could use inline styling to achieve this:
HTML:
<img src="./your/path/to/img.jpg" style="border: 1px solid black;" />
Good luck.

How can I get hold of a copy of Illustrator CS6. I have a CC subscription as well as CS5.5 but I have a contact in the US who keeps sending me CS6 files.

.

rbuhunwal is correct; working on CS6 files in CC is no problem, and saving them back as CS6 is only one or two extra mouse clicks, and takes no more time than saving as CC. We do this every day with client files which are everything from CS6, all the way down to CS3.
The only caveat with older versions is if you use filters, etc., not available in that earlier version, it will impact editability on the other end. Not much of a worry from CC to CS6, though.

How can I create an iBook using iBooks Author using images from a PDF?

I have a complex book with custom fonts and lots of images, and the client wants it on the iPad. So my most reasonable option seems to be to take images from a PDF and use them for the pages. However, images in iBook Author don't get "laid out" as expected in Portrait mode. How can I create a layout that is essentially one image per page in portrait mode, and then convert that to landscape mode? Or is there an easier way to go about this?

tk0us wrote:
Make sure you have disabled portrait in the Inspector.
I don't understand why portrait mode defaults images and other "widgets" to thumbnails. The original format of the book (and of 99% of all books I'm guessing) is in portrait format. By forcing the book to work only in landscape mode it's forcing the page image to be half the size, and that makes using this book particularly difficult. Is there no way to force the pages to be full-size in portrait mode?

You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
Default: PDF/A 1-b
Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
Check the following check boxes
View Adobe PDf Results,
Add Document Information,
Rely on system fonts only,
Delete Log files for successful jobs.
Select OK
A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
Hope this will help.
