How do I save an 11x17 spread pdf with bleeds via print booklet (paginated) so I can send to FedEx to print?

I used to be able to Print Booklet and change the print setting to Save as postscript and Distill it but when I do that now the pages get cropped so they are no longer 12x18.

On the other hand ... the next time you do this, you might want to check out one of the imposition plug-ins for InDesign. I work for Sterling Computing, the maker of IDImposer, so that would be my choice, of course!
Comparing the two alternatives:
The PostScript-Distiller approach:
"I added a new Document Preset for oversize (File >Print Presets >Define... make a new one this size:17.5833 11.5833)
Make sure your bleeds are already set (.125)
File > Print Booklet
Select the Print Preset you just made
click Print Settings...
Select the Print Preset you just made (yes, again)
Printer: PostScript File
PPD: Adobe PDF 9.0
OK
Print
Save the .ps file
Open it with Distiller or Adobe Acrobat Pro
Output to PDF"
Elapsed time: anywhere from 5 minutes to days or even weeks
Chance of errors: moderate
Ease of use: poor
Quality: flattened transparency, loss of managed color
Vintage: late 1980's
vs
The IDImposer approach:
Verify that your Bleeds are set the way you want them, in File > Document Setup... > More Options
Window > Extensions > IDImposer
In IDImposer:
Set the imposition type (Saddle Stitch, probably) and desired Sheet size (18 x 12) in the IDImposer dialog
Click the "Impose" button, and watch the screen flash for a minute or so
Optional: Inspect the results in InDesign. Maybe do a quick proof print.
Export to PDF (from InDesign): File > Export... > Adobe PDF (print)
Elapsed time: typically under 2 minutes, for a 16 page booklet
Quality: excellent

How do I save changes to a PDF with AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF?

I am using C# and have created a regular Windows form. I have used COM and registered AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF. Here is my code;
axAcroPDF1.LoadFile("myfile.pdf")
axAcroPDF1.Show();
MessageBox.Show("Showing...");
This works fine. But, just like the browser, I cannot save changes to the PDF. I have the full version of Adobe Acrobat installed, Standard 8.0. I also have the Pro. version 7.1.0 on another PC. When I click save I just get prompted to save it locally, just like I was in the browser.
If I edit these normally, just via Adobe Acrobat Standard, I can save my changes. I cannot do it via the AxAcroPDFLib library.
How do I save changes to my adobe acrobat pdf file in my program? Thank you for any help. please.

I did this after I wrote this. I have looked at the documentation but I can't find what I am looking for. Is there another way to open a file for viewing that has the full capabilities or using the normal program...one that uses something besides AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF. The sample that did have a view used AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF so it wasn't helpful. All I need is normal program functionality of adobe standard or profession within the application. The users have a full version installed on their PC.
Thanks again.

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.

Interactive PDFs with Bleeds

I recently upgraded to InDesign CS5, and I am trying to create an interactive PDF with bleeds. Does anyone know how to do this? It seems like I have the option to either make a print PDF with bleeds or an Interactive PDF without bleeds, but I can't combine them. My e-commerce site requires that I upload a print-ready file with buttons for creating templates. I could create the buttons in Acrobat, but that's a lot of extra work, and I would be going backwards since I used to be able to do this in CS3 and CS4. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

They definitely are different, in the interactive one you can specify the view and layout settings of the PDF which is great, it should have been added ages ago, but you still can't tell it to open the bookmarks panel with it, or pages or layers, you have to do this in Acrobat still which is a pain. And in the standard PDF export you can now either not include Interactive elements or include appearance only.
It seems stupid to me to split the functionality of the PDF export into two different types. If they want to have a dumbed down interactive one; fine, but why take functionality out of the main PDF export dialog?

How do you save a multiple page pdf document?

I have about 30 single illustrator pages (cs3) and need to save them as one pdf document, with multiple pages if possible. please can someone talk me thru this, all the stages please.
thanks

What I usually do is this: Make pdfs of your files. Open the first one in Acrobat and then Insert (Cmd-Shift-I) the other files one by one After the first one. Then resave under another name. Now you've got a multiple page pdf.
The other way is to page-tile an Illy file, print to eps and then use Distiller. The result will be a multi-page pdf with each tile as a separate page.
I recommend the first method though - it allows you to have different page sizes within a single pdf (if that's what you want). If you want all pages to be of the same size you just use the same artboard size on all Illy files.

How do I save a style of paragraphs with a numbered list in Pages 05?

I wish to save a style of paragraph with a numbered list. Is it possible to save them at the same time in Pages 5 as it was in Pages 09'?
Where are the shortcuts?
Thanks.

Yes, I know but there is no real list preset. The format command, when opened, shows a menu and I think you are using the word Style differently. A Style in 09 allowed one to save present formatting for several text appearance options, which is no longer possible in 05 "styles." Styles in text edting for applications like Word, OpenOffice, iBooks, and Pages 09 referred to a way to save a set of formatting command together and apply them with one click. That's the rub here in 5.
Yes, you can apply a bullet as a "style" to a paragraph, bui you cannot save that formatting as a preset in any way to do it in one click. The issue is consistency and one click capability for multiple formatting features for a paragraph of text.
Separating bullets and lists from the ability to maintain them in the Paragraph style removed the one click paragraph formatting option which is helpful for anyone who uses it more than a few times in a document.
The need is for people who want to use common formatting for paragraphs and maintain a one-click option to apply text, indent, spacing, and bullets in one click, not spread out in several menus and lists.
If you can explain how to do this in Pages 5 I will be very happy and you will have saved me many clicks. Otherwise I will continue to use the bullet "style" list drop down menu.

How do I create the highest quality pdfs with InDesign CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9? New settings needed?

I sent a lot of jobs to printing companies by sending them high-res proofs on very large, multiple page jobs with lots of photos and graphics. Many companies are requesting that I just send pdfs. I just upgraded to Windows 7 and CS5. I used to have some special settings in my older Acrobat Distiller and InDesign which have been lost. They gave a much better result that what I seem to be getting from the "Press Quality" setting for pdf's. Does anyone have an excellent list of settings that can used to improve the quality of pdf's? I don't know if this is a combination of settings in both InDesign itself, as well as in Acrobat Distiller, or if the settings in one program will solve this. I have a job pending that needs improvement in the pdf quality. Thank you.

Thanks Peter. My last post was specific to using the Print Booklet feature (which is now solved thanks to your help). But this is related to creating high-res pdfs in general that go to printing companies, and being used for sending high-res proofs to clients. In general I don't need to set up printer spreads for my jobs (just for the one I asked about in my other post), but I used to have some specific settings that a printing company supplied me with to give the highest res pdf output possible. Those settings did in fact give a better result than the Press Quality settings built into my Adobe programs. I have had printers over the years request that I create a postscript file, then use distiller (using the settings they supplied) and I got an excellent result. After getting a new computer, Windows 7 and new CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9 upgrade, all of these settings were lost. I have notes on the settings from a couple of years ago, but they don't seem to apply to the CS5 programs in every given area and I feel like there may be just a couple of boxes that either should or shouldn't be checked that I'm missing now.
I understand that this is very specific information, and I may just need to go with the Press Quality settings. The printing company that gave me that great info a while back is no longer in business and other printing companies I have checked with won't spend that kind of time with me (or maybe they don't know anything other than using the Print Quality setting). Maybe within the CS5 program now, the quality of this setting has been improved more than I realize yet. Again, I'm new to CS5 and am just trying to get everything back to the way I used to have things running, and trying to get the best results possible.
Thanks again!

HT4623 How do we save a attachment which comes with the mail and where?

IHow do we save a attachment which comes with the mail and where?

What type of file is the attachment ? You first need an app on your iPad then supports the type of file that you want to save on the iPad - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app. If you have an app that supports the type of file that you want to save, then pressing and holding the attachment might (if the app supports it) give a popup with options to save ('open in') the attachment in your app.

How do i set up the eprint from my blackberry so i can send emails to my printer and print them off

how do i set up eprint on my blackberry so i can send emails from my phone to the printer and print off

Hi Tanya_Carroll,
You can follow this link to set up ePrint.
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/hho/us/en/ep/articles/setting-up-mobile-printing.html
Once ePrint is setup, you can send an email to the printer's email address.
Be sure to use one of these email clients when sending to the printer. If the Blackberry will not send using your original email address, setup a new email account on the Blackberry and try again.
Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail
