How to keep high res when I create a pdf from Publisher doc

I created a pdf from a Publisher document, and the resolution is less than 300 dpi (about 500KB). The 1/2 page document is over 4MG as a Publisher document, so why did I lose resolution & what can I do to keep the resolution above 300?
I tried 3 different ways, "print," "press" and "print PowerPoint." Is it simply the fact I'm using the online trial?

>Well, Aandi, I create the original images in Harvard Graphics and then print the HG file to a pdf using the Acrobat Distiller. The onscreen and printed graphic images in the pdf look pixelated along the edges--i.e., not as sharp as in the original.
Ok. Are these transparent graphics i.e. with ragged edges, or just
rectangular graphics?

>When I called Customer Service/Sales to ask about v.9 allowing for higher res screen/print images, he checked with somebody and told me that the highest res. is 600 dpi.
I don't know why they said that. It's nonsense. Acrobat can store
images at very high resolution, though 600 dpi is considered an
enormous resolution, far higher than is needed for almost all
practical purposes. Do not confuse printer resolution with image
resolution: you don't try to match them together.
For example, a coffee table book with high quality pictures was
probably typeset on a 4000 dpi imagesetter, and the photos are
probably around 300 dpi.

>I'm using v.5. I'm willing to upgrade if there is a reason to do so.
There are many possible reasons but higher resolutions isn't one of
them. What Distiller settings are you using for compression?

  • How do you create bookmarks when you create a PDF from word?

    Hi All, how do you create bookmarks when you create a PDF from word, rather than having to individually copy from a pdf and create bookmarks?

    How are you creating the file, exactly?
    And if you don't manage to solve it you can use this free tool I've developed to reverse the page order in Acrobat with a single click:

  • It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    it used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

    You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
    Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

  • When I create a .pdf from an Office file, I have to close the original file before using.  Help?

    When I create a .pdf file from an Office 2010 file (.docx or .xlsx), I cannot move, rename or alter the .pdf file until I first close the original Office file.  If I try, I get a message that the file is in use.  Is this due to some sort of cache setting?  Any suggestions?

    I believe we are using Adobe drivers within Office to generate the PDF through the print function.  All of the settings appear to be Adobe.  If I launch Distiller separately and navigate to the setting I get the exact same settings form I get when I go through the print properties settings. 

  • When I create a PDF from Excel, there are blank cells in Excel document, when they convert to PDF the blank cells have data in them?

    There are cells in the excel document that have formula's in them.  The formulas are pulling data from other blank cells, so that is why they are blank in the formulated cells.  So in Excel, they are just a dash.  When I create the PDF, the document gets opened in Acrobat and the once blank cells have data in them.  Not sure why there is data in those fields on the PDF if its blank on Excel.

    Not really sure that I fixed the problem, but I did find a work around and wanted to post it if someone else runs across the same issue. Apparently the document creator used lots of custom rules and shading. If I pulled up the custom rules and shading palette and just unchecked both the custom ruling and shading boxes, it allowed me to create the print file correctly--the disappearing part numbers were on the new PDF. I didn't have to update the whole book which I didn't want to do because I feared it would mess up the rules and shading. Just unchecking the box before creating the PDF solved that issue for my purposes.

  • Cannot Create a pdf from Word Doc 2003  in Acrobat 8

    My first time out trying to create a pdf from word hasn't worked.
    I've tried several times, but either get some message that distiller cannot run when Acrobat is not active. Well, as far as I can tell it's staring me in the face.
    If I try to print from Word and set the page to pdf, it bombs almost the same way. Acrobat not active, bye. It brings up Acrobat anyway. Trying again doesn't help

    The PRN file is actually a PS file that can be processed by Distiller. Acrobat should not open when you process a file in Distiller unless you set some of the preferences in Distiller to open a completed PDF. To resolve your problem, I am taking you to the most basic aspect of creating a PDF with Acrobat. The process is to print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Then start Distiller and open that file (labeled PRN but actually a PS file) to process. If a PDF is created you are on your way. Printing to the printer without using the print-to-file just automates the process so that you do not have to do the extra step of opening Distiller yourself.
    PDF Maker (the create PDF button) is simply a preprocessor for the printer above. Thus if the printer does not work, then PDF Maker will not work. AcroTray should be running as a background application (use ctrl-alt-del to see the background tasks on your system. AcroTray automates the process by recognizing a PRN file was created and starting Distiller to complete the process. If it is not running, then the only way to create a PDF is by printing to file as I mentioned. Thus, the print-to-file process is the basic step in testing your PDF creation capability. I am not sure how much more I can say. May others can make it clearer for you.
    As far as updates go, I never do them through the Acrobat menu, but download them directly from Adobe (at downloads>updates). I have the auto update turned off in every version I have.

  • Hyperlinked text--the text, not the link--disappears when I create a PDF from a book in FM 11

    I am editing a FrameMaker 11 document with some text that is hyperlinked to a website. Earlier PDFs output fine. When I created the last PDF, some of the text disappeared in the PDF, but it's still visible in FM. On the PDF, the hyperlink is active in the blank space and it works to go to the website. Specifically the hyperlinked text is part numbers in a table with a shaded background--I mention this because if I open a page of the defective PDF in Illustrator--the text that has disappeared is behind the shaded square. Some of the hyperlinked part numbers are visible in the PDF--this seems almost random. It's not just part numbers or rows where I have edited something. I'm editing the document, I didn't create it. My background is InDesign and I am a novice in FrameMaker. Appreciate any guidance or suggestions.

  • What is the best way to keep high res when saving "for web"

    the files i'm saving for web so i can get them in jpg (or gif) format are coming out very pixelated.  this is when i print the image. 
    what is the best way to save for web an image and keep the resolution good. 
    using for a business card template.  avery template will let me attach images i want to the project.  to do this..  i "get file from computer" and it drops the image in but real small... then you are supposed to enlarge it onto your work however you want.  well when i enlarge this image file, it gets pixelated badly.  i'm thinking it's the way i'm saving it.  i do not adjust anything when i save.  maybe i should.  this is where i need guidance. 
    this is what avery template notes about the images i am allowed to use - When uploading the image, the maximum size allowed is 4 MB.  You can only upload JPG and PNG images either as RGB or CMYK.  so when you recommend things, can you please keep this in mind
    thank you for oyur time.

    Aida,
    When you save with the default template using save for web it is generally a very low settings.
    While in the save window you can define the pixel size of the image you want with quality as well as resolution too.
    Refer to tv.adobe.com video save for web or Adobe help file for detailed instructions.

  • Strange characters inserted when I create a PDF

    I am using Acrobat 11, Windows 7, PC.  Someone sent me a Word Document file and when I create a PDF from it, there are questions marks inserted in many places.  The original word doc has charts inserted as "pictures".  This is where the strange characters are occurring.  Regular text is fine.  A colleague created a PDF using an earlier version of Acrobat and it worked fine. 

    I have figured out that I was not creating the PDF correctly (was doing it through Windows instead of Adobe).  Now that I am doing it correctly (using the Adobe tab when I'm in the word doc, then clicking Create Adobe PDF), the chart does not have the questions marks anymore but it is NOT as crisp and clean as it should be.  Text is blurred, lines in chart are faded or missing in some spots.  In the word doc the chart is crisp and clear.
    Of note:  The charts that have been inserted into the document using my Windows 7 PC are fine when PDF'd.  The chart that is in question was I believe created on a Mac.  That shouldn't matter in my book but unfortunately sometimes it does.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

  • Installing .csf files and using them to create a pdf from Indesign.

    I have a .csf file that was sent to me that I need to:
    1.     Install (not sure how to do that in CS4),
    2.     And be able to use in Indesign when I create a pdf from an Indesign file.
    I'm not sure how to do this.

    Like it or not, InDesign is a color managed application, and your files are all being managed.
    You'll always have less grief if the working spaces match the output, but that isn't always possible. If you want to to convert to the profiles specified in the CSF file, choose one of the "Convert to Profile" settings and select the correct profile as the destination. You'll have two options, preserve numbers, or don't preserve numbers.
    Preserving numbers will cause colors to shift, but will preserve 100% K blacks. Not preseving numbers will change the numbers to give you the closes match possible in appearance, but will royally screw up your 100% K type if going to press.

  • With the upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 I can no longer create a pdf from a document.

    I am using Window XP, Office 2007 Professional.  When the upgrade occurred, I lost the functionallity of creating a pdf from Publisher.  I go through the print, select Adobe PDF and then print.  Sometimes it looks like it is creating a pdf and then on results.  Othertimes it just blinks and returns to Publisher.  Adobe wil not let me un-install the last update.  Any suggestions?

  • When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

    When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

    The system was not my own, it was on a PC belonging to the school where I teach. The error message referred to Acrobat 9.0, so I assume that the problem is to do with the version on which the file was created being more recent than that on which I attempeted to open it.

    Hello,
    How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
    I don’t see any link?
    1.      We have a subscription.
    2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
    3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
    Only the tekstlinks are OK.
