How can i plot a 600mm * 3200mm PDF created from Illustrator in perfect quality?

Hi,
I have this huge 600mm * 3200mm plan drawing, which i want to plot. I have importet Autocad .DWG files into illustrator and mingled with the lineweights and colores. But, when i save it as a .PDF and send it through the plotter, it comes out all strange looking. The lines are brooken up and generally the plot is of very poor quality. If i create a A3 artboard in the same illustrator file, and print that, it comes out in perfect quality - very confusing. I have attached an image were you guys can see what im talking about. Has enyone ever encountered this problem?
On the left you see what it looks like on the screen and on the right you see the plot.
Regards Karl

Karl,
What happens if you plot the A3 PDF?

How can I correct spacing issues in PDFs created from Word 2010?

I have already changed settings to Press Quality as well as embedded all fonts possible yet I am unable to fix this error.
As an example of what occurs throughout the PDF after conversion please see the image on the left (Original DOCX) and the image on the right (Converted PDF).
The spacing is not uniformly altered and in some cases the spacing is reduced, as in the word "efficiency" and in some cases spacing is increased, as in the space between "energy" and "efficiency".

It looks as if Word (not Acrobat) is doing some advanced typographical adjustment. Certain fonts contain a specially designed ffi single character.

How do I save a 2 page pdf (created in Illustrator) to be used in a web site?

How do I save a 2 page pdf (created in Illustrator) to be used in a web site?
When I save my Illustrator file as a pdf, it is about 2600 kb, my web site admin will only allow storage of 5000 kb. I tried to "save for the web", but that only saves the first page of my document. Any suggestions other than paying for more storage???

What pdf preset are you using? Try smallest file size rather than illustrator default.
Save for web does not do PDF, so no multipage.

Why can't I reduce size of PDF created from multiple JPEGs?

Hi,
Using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0, I combined a bunch of JPEGs and turned them into a PDF. Because the resulting PDF was very large, I tried various Adobe tools to create a smaller version. However, nothing worked.
Am I missing something? Or is it simply impossible to shrink the size of a PDF when it's created from JPEGs?
Many thanks for your help.

Unless you use size reduction on the images, you are not going to do much better than the JPegs themselves, that is unless the JPegs used no compression at all. There are limits to compression and you have probably reached it.
Using Reduce File Size, you can usually reduce the size, but you will generally be reducing the resolution as well. If that is desired, you might find reducing the size of the graphics in a dedicated graphics package might be a better choice, followed by creating the PDF.

How can I save a text file to disk from Illustrator ?

Hi,
I was looking through the Javascript reference and couldn't find anything related to writing strings to a text file on disk.
Is this possible ? If so where should I look ?
Otherwise, can I run a bit of code in Terminal/CommandPrompt from Illustrator (.e.g. echo 'Hello!' >> file.txt) ?

Here's something that I think Muppet Mark or Carlos Canto posted earlier
#target illustrator
var textFile = File('~/Desktop/AI.txt');
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var docText = '';
for (var i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++)
docText += doc.textFrames[i].contents + '\r';
textFile.open('e');
textFile.write(docText);
textFile.close();

How can I automatically fill and save PDF forms from an iSeries database file withouth viewing PDFs?

We have incoming data that we need to insert into a PDF form then save an individual PDF file for each record from the database table for our Image system. Data is coming from an iSeries file and I can Manually perform all the steps within the process, but this needs to be something that we can run from a scheduled job and should be a totally hands off process. The form is in Adobe Acrobat and I've been trying some of the JavaScript pieces, but can't seem to get everything to run automatically. I'm new to PC programming and can use any suggestions on how to handle this process.

You might want to post this to the Acrobat SDK forum here. For it to work with Acrobat, it cannot be a completely automated process, however, due to licensing (and technical) restrictions. There are a number of third-party APIs that might help. If you post again, include what format the data is in (FDF, XFDF, XML, XDP) and what programming languages you can work in.

How can I keep word"s "acrobat pdf maker" from appearing ?

logically, all of the toolbars items (view menu) in Word should only appear if you ask for them
since nothing at microsoft seems to be logical, the "adobe pdf maker" toolbar appears constantly when you open a file so that you then have to throw it away to keep it from using up and cluttering the screen
I have tried everything I know to get rid of this pesky thing - any suggestions?

Hi, Joseph.
You haven't stated the version of MS Office you are using, but the following instructions, written with Office 2004 in mind, will also work for Office v.X.
How to remove the PDFMaker toolbar in MS Office applications
The PDFMaker toolbar launcher is saved in an application-specific directory for each Office application. The general format of the directory path is:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/office_application
Therefore, to remove the PDFMaker toolbar from MS Word, trash the PDFmaker file found in the directory:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Startup/Word/
Do likewise for Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
Note that Adobe Acrobat automatically checks the state of its features — like PDFMaker — when it is launched. Depending on the version of Acrobat you have installed, it may try to replace these files after you have deleted them. Adobe Acrobat has a "Do not ask again" option if it offers to "repair" these files
Note that the same instructions work under Office v.X.
Good luck!

How can I transfer a docx. or pdf. document of microsoft word to the ipad?

Hello
How can I transfer my docx. and pdf. files using the newest edition of microsoft office word from my Laptop to the program "pages 09"?
It seems that pages can only import doc. files? To convert my files makes no sense because the whole layout will be messed up.
Hope someone can help me with this, or maybe apple is currently working on that behalf

Are you sure your posting this in the appropriate forum? you mention "Pages 09", but this is the iPad pages forum. (I know the link above does not say "IPad", but it is).
If this is on iPad:
Word doesn't open pdf files, only outputs them. Use Goodreader on the ipad to read any pdfs, or other pdf reader that is free.
I just tried opening a docx file on my iPad and it opened fine in Pages. Just had to replace a font that wasn't on the iPad that I apparenlty had used on the document.
If not on iPad:
Desktop Pages opens docx files fine, it did it before MS published the Mac version that saved as docx.
PDF's should open in Preview.

Thanks for replying. I am converting from MS Office Word document to Adobe Acrobat Document and opening with Reader XI - sorry my mistake.
