how to improve quality of pdfs when exporting from pages? Any suggestions?

Print to pdf and don't use anything with transparency.
Have you ensured all your images are actually high enough resolution for whatever purpose (which you haven't said) you want?

  • Hyperlink won't open PDF when exporting from pages

    When I'm export my docunment from pages 5.1, only the first page's hyperlink works. All the other pages are underlined but the hyperlinks do not work. Any solutions?

    One of many bugs and missing features in Pages 5.
    It happens to links with edited URLs after the first page.
    If you still have Pages '08/'09 on your Mac use that and give yourself an upgrade to 100+ features missing in Pages 5.

  • Help! improving quality of PDF-X export

    I've got pages and have just completed an important newsletter for work. It looks awesome, but when I export to PDF all of the shadows are gone. I've tried the PDF-X trick but the photos are very grainy and the shadows are really poor quality. I need to have this printed ASAP. Is there a way to improve the quality of a PDF-X file? Are there any other work arounds? This has been pretty disappointing. I'm using pages 1.0.2.

    Not certain if this is quite the same thing, but.......
    I have found problems when exporting to pdf, not when I open in Preview but when the person I am emailing the file to opens it in Acrobat, as all drop shadows are then lost, this makes professional printing difficult.
    Resolved it for the moment by:
    1. exporting to pdf as normal
    2. using Graphic Converter which comes bundled with OSX to create a PSD file and sending that electronically. Slight problem was that the size of the file increased from 3mb to about 27mb, so had to download a free copy of Cyberduck ftp programme too. In fact saving it to jpeg was just about as good.
    3. you do have to do one page at a time but it works.

  • Write filename somewhere in a PDF when exporting from InDesign?

    Is there a way, when exporting a PDF from InDesign, to somewhere/somehow auto-embed the filename into the resulting PDF? Doesn't need to be "visible" in the job, but needs to be accessible somehow. I'm working with a very difficult client who changes PDF names and then, months later, sends the PDF back with revisions and I have no idea which file the original PDF was created from. I know I can manually enter this information, but I'm looking for a more automated way to do this?
    Regards,
    Kristin.

    Put this script into a folder "Startup Scripts" inside your scripts folder. It auto-updates the document metadata every time you save a document. This automatically is saved in an exported PDF.
    //InxAfterSafe.jsx
    //An InDesign CS3 JavaScript
    #targetengine "session"
    //Creates a simple event listener.
    main();
    function main()
    var myEventListener1 = app.addEventListener("afterSave", setMetadata, false);
    var myEventListener2 = app.addEventListener("afterSaveAs", setMetadata, false);
    function setMetadata()
    var myFileName = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.indd$/i, "");
    app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.documentTitle = myFileName;
    app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.copyrightNotice = myFileName;
    app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.jobName = myFileName;

  • Can't Print PDF files exported from Pages

    I spent all weekend creating a 25 page document - exported it to PDF and it won't print at all. Sent it to 50 customers before I discovered the problem
    I used the same fonts and template last year in a document in Version 1 of Pages and had no problems.
    I can print directly from Pages and also no problems printing if I export to Word but not PDF which is of course the format I require!
    I checked the security setting in Acrobat and none are set so it sould be fine!
    Help!?!

    Can you open and print the the file in Preview? I found Acrobat Reader a little flakey with X and deleted it from my system. I use Preview for everything.
    Instead of the export feature have you tried printing to pdf? See if it makes any difference.

  • How do you improve quality of QuickTime movie exported from Flash?

    Hi
    I have designed a Flash animation for a client who has asked me to also provide it in a format which can be used in a film he wants to produce in Apple Final Cut Pro.  I assumed the best format would be QuickTime but whenever I export the Flash file in to QuickTime the quality of the film is awful - the graphics leave fragments of themselves behind as they move (if that makes sense?!) and the overall quality isn't very crisp.
    I have tried various export settings and followed a few tutorials online but still having no success!  If anyone can make any suggestions I would really appreciate it or is there even another file format that can be used with Final Cut Pro?
    Thanks for your advice!!

    Whenever I export an animation out for video, I always export it uncompressed.  It gives a very large file, but then you don't have to worry about it getting compressed multiple times (as the video will be compressed when completed), and I have not had any problems with it.
    If you are still having problems with QT export - I have heard reports that setting a time in the export (stop after X time, rather than stop at last frame) will get rid of it.
    And, if you still have problems exporting to QT, then I suggest exporting to AVI and converting to MOV with a separate tool.

  • Blurry/ fuzzy fonts in pdf  when export from indesign

    Hello all,
    i have done alot of research/ readings via the internet (& forum) but i still can't find a solution to this:
    - I have saved my pdfs (line drawings, texts, graphics) in illustrator.
    - i 'place' them into Indesign.
    - In indesign, i click 'export', 'adobe pdf (print)', ' high quality print'.
    Result: the texts on the embedded pdfs are fuzzy. I have used 2 fonts- one is fine & editable in the exported pdf (garamond);  only 'arial' seems rasterized & fuzzy.
    What have i tried:
    - i tried exporting as 'pdf X 1a 2001' settings as it is mentioned that it is good for printing.
    - i have tried  clicking 'do not downsample' in all the 'compression categories'.
    -  i have also checked 'find font', to see if the 'arial' is true font. It is.
    What else can i do? kindly advise. Thank you in advance.
    *software:
    adobe cs5
    Best,
    Jessica

    Oh no...
    i see your point now.
    That text is from the usual font folder.
    - i checked in illlustrator: 'type', 'find font', 'arial'; whereelse in Indesign, it is 'arial regular'.
    - In control panels, 'font' folder, i see i only have 1 arial regular file, so both illustrator & indesign should have the same 'arial regular'...
    OK UPDATE: I GOT IT RIGHT NOW:
    - In illustrator file, to create pdf: 'print', 'printer: cutepdfwriter', 'output', 'printer resolution: 100lpo1200dpi' (initially it was 72lpi), and 'graphics', 'fonts: download'- 'none' (initally: subset).
    I don't know which made it work: Pinrter resolution or fonts download.
    But now i could edit the illustrator pdf 'arial' font; and when placed in indesign to export, it is not blurry anymore.
    Never knew something like this can make such a big difference, thank you Bob!
    **but can you let me know what was it i changed that made it worked as well? thanks!
    Jess

  • Corruption of weblinks containing '%20' when exporting from pages to pdf

    When I export a document in pages to a pdf file, embedded weblinks which contain the code '%20' as part of the web address (which I understand to be HTML code for a space?) these are converted to '%2520' which then leave the weblinks unusable. Any ideas on how to fix this, is this a known bug in Pages?

    Yes, %20 is code for space. %25 is code for %, hence %2520. I don't think this is just Pages having problems. It reads/translate what is written. I have seen numeral times in saved web pages opened again in browser. Sometimes the URLs work anyway and sometimes not.
    My advise is that you change all %20 to space before saving. Can be done with the search function, Cmd + F in Pages.

  • Blurry Interactive PDF when exporting from InDesign CS6

    Hi there, wondering if anyone can help me out with this question,
    I've created a new document in InDesign, with intent set to 'web'. I have set the page size to exactly the correct pixels that I need. I've inserted my image, which is 72dpi and the exact pixel size I need. Everything looks good, and seems to be correct.
    Problem occurs when I go to export.
    I'm exporting the PDF as 'Interactive', but no matter what setting I put it at, the finished PDF seems to push the final view by about 30%? and therefor makes the PDF blurry.
    It seems a little crazy to me, as everything seems in place and correct?
    Any suggestions?

    Acrobat views files at 96 ppi.
    You can see this in Edit>Preferences and go to Page Display.
    Solution - I'd use 96 ppi images.

  • Setting Initial View of .PDF when exporting from ID

    Hi,
    I use 5.0.1 and upgrading is not an option due to the IT department - don't get me started!
    I have created a document in ID with Bookmarks to aid navigation when its converted to a PDF.
    In Acrobat 8.0 there is a feature to set the initial view to open the pdf with the bookmarks tab showing - Document Settings > Initial View > Layout & Magnification > Bookmarks Panel & Page.
    Is it possible to set this attribute in ID without having to use Acrobat after creating the pdf? i.e when I export the ID file to pdf it is effectivly fire and forget.
    Thanks in advance all...

    No need to apologize - I'm a rookie when it comes to IS detail.
    I use Acrobat Standard 8.1 when setting the initial view and IE 7. There are no security settings set.
    I'm posting the documents on a web site and others that open to view are most likely using Acrobat Reader.
    Not certain what I should try next. I appreciate your help.

  • Is it possible to rotate a PDF when exporting from Indesign?

    Is it possible to set a rotaton in the export PDF window of Indesign? I see I can do this in the print menu, but I don't want to export my PDFs this way.

    I don't think so, you may be best just rotating the finished pdf in Acrobat Pro, then saving... or just rotate spreads before export in InD.

  • How to hide EXIF (not IPTC) when export from LR3

    I am exporting some hi-res images from LR3 (to send to one of my clients) and I need to hide my EXIF (camera settings etc) data completely BUT keep the IPTC (keywords, copyrights etc) data intact. Is there any way I could do that with in LR3 or with the help of a 3rd party plugin/software? When I click "Minimize embedded Metadata" it only removes IPTC not EXIF.

  • Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?

    Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?
    Hi,
    I have 2 pages in all in a .PSE file.
    When I try to export it as .PDF, the quality is very poor. I cannot change it to a better quality.
    Please advise how I can export the file so that i can have better quality.

    To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
    Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
    Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.
