How do I save color separations to a larger size than my printer will allow?

I have an Illustrator file from which I'm trying to produce color separations. What I want is a PDF with each separation on its own page, but it looks like you can't export separations to PDF directly, so I'll probably export to PostScript and use Distiller to produce my PDF. I only have an 8.5"x11" printer, but I want the separations to export at 15"x16" to be printed elsewhere. But Illustrator won't let me unless I have a PPD installed for a printer that can print to that size. That seems dumb... I have no idea what printer will be used to print them, and I have no idea what model printer can print that large. So what should I do? Can someone point me to a PPD that will allow me to export to 15"x16"? Or is there another way?

I just tried a quick test using save as pdf and according to the print dialog box in acrobat that spot colors are there. Perhaps you are using one of the presets that converts colors.
In the save as pdf options dialog box look at the output section for color conversion and see if it is set to no conversion. some of the standards change this setting.

How do I save my contact sheets as a file instead of printing?

How do I save my contact sheets as a file instead of printing?

In Aperture 3 there are two print dialogs. The first is Aperture specific. After you finish this dialog the printer specific dialog will open. In the PDF menu choose Save as PDF...
I've forgotten how Aperture 2 works but it has a different print dialog I think. Look for the same PDF menu or a Preview button.

I pressed some keys in iPhoto and the picture "icons" shrunk. How to get them back to their original larger size?
I read another post about this that suggested restoring preferences, but I don't know how to do this. I don't want to re-install iPhoto for sure.

My bad. I didn't see the slider lower right (it was mentioned in the reply).
Now can somebody tell me how to delete questions

How do I attain color separation in InDesign that containes Photoshop Images?

Thank you for your time.
I have to submit an ad that will print black with spot color (Cyan). Below (Image 1) is the ad that does not contain color separation. The publisher said that I have to provide an ad that allows for color separation, without the ad being changed. Below (Image2) shows how the ad changes when I apply the color separation, with only Cyan being selected. I have also included (Image 3) my color settings; I'm not sure if my color settings have a part in my ad changing. If you know what I need to do to fix this issue, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank You.

If your ad contains only Black and Cyan inks you should be able to send the composite PDF and it will separate in the RIP at the publisher. If this is not waht the publisher wants, you need to get verys specific instructions from them. We can help you to understand those instructions if necessary.
The key here is that your images must be true grayscales or Black/Cyan duotones and you must not use any 4-color black elsewhere in the ad. Looking at your screen shot of the cyan plate it looks like the images are grayscale and OK, but your background gradient and black caption bars are showing cyan ink, so unless you used a cyan/black with no magenta and no yellow in them you have a problem. RGB colors cannot be used here.

When I create a stickie note, I can not save any font size other than the default. How do I save a stickie with a larger or different font?

How do I save a stickie note with a different font size other than the default? When I create a note and save it using a larger font, it reopens with the default.

Unlikely, I'm afraid.
The LMS has no control over the playbar that pauses or plays the Captivate content.
In a Multi SCORM package, the LMS also may be showing a TOC in the SCORM player with links to launch the lesson modules. This TOC is in addition to the TOC inside the Captivate project file which gives access to sections of the module by jumping to slides that begin those sections. But the LMS doesn't usually give you any control over the look and feel or functionality of that TOC either.
If your client is adamant that they want complete control over these areas, then your best option may be NOT to build this course with Captivate but build it from the ground up with another tool. E.g. Flash, or Dreamweaver. Either way, that will add a lot more time and expense to the project. But if the client has the budget and is unwilling to budge on their requirement, then that's what I would be telling them to do.

How do i save a file in its original size?

Photoshop automatically scales my large files to 8-12% giving me lower print quality.

Thank you so much for all of your time and info!
I changed the Image Options-Quality to 12 (the maximum, it was automatically set at 10) and chose baseline standard instead of baseline optimized. This results in a 17 MB file (still less than the 18MB file, but I'll take it). I have tried all sorts of combinations and still haven't gotten the original size.
You mentioned color profile and now I'm having all sorts of problems with that. When I uncheck "embed color profile: ProPhoto RGB" The color in the new file is totally different. The original says the color format is sRGB. When I change the profile in PS to sRGB, it looks much different than the original, it looks the same as if I uncheck ProPhoto RGB. I want to make copies of the pictures onto a disc and then give them to different family members to print. Most of them will send it to Costco or somewhere like that to print, but I'm worried that if I save it in TIFF or ProPhoto RGB that not everybody will be able to open the files on their computers.
What is the best way to ensure that the photo prints as closely as possible to what I see on my screen?
I have included snapshots of the same image saved multiple different ways. The first image on the left is the original. You can see in the little thumb nail to difference in colors between the different color profiles. When I uncheck embed color profile ProPhotoRGB, it shows now color profile on the file info. When I change the color profile to sRGB in Photoshop it looks totally different from the original which says is also sRGB.
On a side note, I use Light Room for all that I can and I don't have any of these problems. I just import and export on its automatic presets and everything stays the same.

How do I save a font and it's size and color in a text box as a default

I am using Adobe Acrobat XI for Mac and can't figure out how to set a default font for text boxes. I don't seem to be able to access the properties to set the default by highlighting a properly formatted text box and pressing ctrl-e. Is there another key combination for Mac? Or another method for setting defaults? I'm finding I have to set the font, size and color every time I open a new Acrobat doc and want to add a text box. Also, the choices are not even saving with the document. The fonts already typed save correctly, but on reopening, I have to reset if I want to add more text.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Tom Carlson

Thanks for the suggestions. I've got a Logitech G700S Mouse with a right click button, so right-clicking isn't an issue. Unfortunately, the I can't seem to find the menu to "Use Current Properties as New Defaults." I may not have described the problem correctly.
I am adding text to a pre-existing pdf document, not creating a form. I would like to be able to set a default font, size and color for text, so that when I enter text in a text box onto the pdf document, it has those properties. If I select the text box that is properly formatted (not the text, but the box) and right click, the only choices I get are:
Cut
Copy
Delete
Select All
Deselect All
Arrange>
Edit Using>
So I gues my question is if one can even format a text box as a default or a "style" or the like. I tried setting a default font, size and color for "comments" also in the Acrobat preferences, but even that didn't seem to stick when I opened a new doc. This all may just be a Mac / Mavericks interaction flaw. Anybody have any other ideas?

How can I save colors of text by copy and paste from a strange application

Hi!
When I copy colored text from a strange application to paste it into pages (4.0.2) all text is black. The colors disappear. When I look at the clipboard, I see the correct colors. In AppleWorks, MS-Office and OpenOffice the colors are copied correctly.
What can I do to save the colors?

How do I save a a web address in more than one bookmark folder?

I often want to store the address of a web address in more than one bookmark folder. Sometimes I know this when I first decide to save the address; other times I find I want to 'copy' an already stored bookmark in a second folder. I've struggled through the Firefox Help on bookmarks to uncover how to accomplish this -- but (as with so many online computer Help sections!) have been unable to find an answer to what is, obviously, a basic question!

You can copy a bookmark from one folder and paste it in another folder to have a copy in more than one folder.

Question: How can I save Elements 12 photos edited as other than PSE. I prefer JPEG. Also file forma

I have two problems with my new Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 editing program. I cannot seem to be able to save an edited photo as a JPEG. How can I do that. I only want to save as a PSE file in case I want to return to it later for further modifications.
My other problem is that my program locks up on me. I can only get out of the program by shutting down my computer and restarting.

Jon,
That was my first thoughts too, but I have just done some tests and I don't think that is now the problem.
My test was-
1) Start with a CR2 RAW file and open it with 16 bits/channel
2) Confirm that it is in 16 bit mode - layers not available etc.
3) Save As and JPEG, JPG was an option and it converts it to 8 bit in the output file.
It seems that this has been the case since version 11 - perhaps you could try it to check that I'm not doing something wrong.
I think that Sureaddy's problem is that he is saving it first as a PSE file. After doing that, I can only save it as a PDF or a PSE file.
Sureaddy
When first editing an image, I suggest you save it as a PSD (Photoshop file) not as a PSE (Photo Project File). If you are using layers, then you will be in 8 bit mode. Providing you don't save as a PSE file you should then have the option of saving it in JPEG/JPG format.
If you must use the PSE format, you could try using the Save for Web option - that can produce a JPG file.
As for your lock up problem, is there any pattern to when it locks up?

How to make a color bar expand to screen size?

I'm building a website in adobe muse. I have a few color bars that I would like to reach the edge of the viewers screen (left and right) so that you can't see the edges of the bar. All of my content is centered, so it'd be ideal to accomplish this without causing the page to have a scroll bar(left and right)
Thanks in advance,
JON

How do i save a .m4v file to the movie folder when it will only save to the music folder?

I have a movie file in my ITunes music folder that i want to mover to the movie folder because it is a movie. The file type is a .m4v. When i click and drag it itunes wont let me drop it in movies.
What do i do??

You drag it using Windows Explorer and not in iTunes. Itunes library merely link the movie in iTunes library to your file location.
After you have dragged the file to another location, remember to link your original movie in itunes library to the new location. Right mouse click the movie, GET INFO, click LOCATE and direct to the new location (otherwise, your movie will not play)

I am authorized to upload longer videos than this program will allow. How do I get it to allow me to upload longer videos, more than 30 minutes?

I want to upload my video but this program will not allow me to yet Youtube will. Why is this restriction set in the program? If Youtube will not allow it they will stop the process. I am authorized for uploading longer videos because of my excellent standing with Youtube.

Thanks for the reply.
I do not know your Premiere Elements 12 project settings. So, for now, I will give the example assuming 1920 x 1080 project where you are working from a
NTSC (29.97/30 frames per second) setup rather than PAL (25 frames per second) setup.
1. After the Timeline content is established and edited, then go on to Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD.
2. Set the Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30.
3. Hit the Save button in the export area to export your Timeline content to a file saved to the computer hard
drive at the location that you designate in the export area beforehand..
4. From that hard drive save location, upload your video to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
Please do not hesitate if you have any questions about the above. If your project settings are different than my assumptions, please let me
know the details, and I will fine tune the details presented here.
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks.

HT4436 How do I save my pics from my phone to iCloud?

How do I save my pics from my phone to iCloud?

iCloud will only backup photos in your camera roll as part of your iPhone backup (where they can only be later restored to your phone, not viewed separately). It will also add them to photo stream in iCloud, but onkly for 30 days. You can't use iCloud to permanently back up your photos. To back up your photos, import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
