Images imported into Pages are blurry when sent as PDF

Just got Pages and am trying to produce my first newsletter. Using a template, I dragged some images over an existing image in the template. I also added some images on my own and used the masking tool to crop them. Pics varied in size from 1200x1600 to 3264x2448. They looked good in Pages, but when I used the Send via Mail as PDF function, all of the images appeared blurry in the PDF.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong and how I can get clear pics in my newsletter?
Thanks.

Pages '09 v4.2. and 10.8.2.
I just selected the Fashion newsletter, then dropped a 1920x1200x72dpi sRGB image onto the woman's image. It automatically resized to fit the frame. Saved the Pages document. Then, used the Send via Mail as PDF option.
In Mail, I selected the PDF, and then tapped the spacebar to bring the PDF page up in QuickLook. I then dragged this adjacent to the open Pages document and could not detect (at 72 dpi) any visual differences in color or resolution.
From QuickLook, you can view the PDF in the default PDF application. Does it still resolve differently in Preview or Acrobat Reader?
I think it was mentioned here in the Pages community earlier that Pages and Preview use different OS X imaging libraries than Mail. Anyone care to comment?

  • Apparent page AREA limitation when printing to PDF?

    In the process of producing posters for technical presentations, I have many times "printed to PDF" - typically from CorelDraw - with  page sizes as large as 42" x 72". Until a couple of months ago, I was doing so with Acrobat 9 Pro under Windows XP.
    Now I'm on a newer machine with Acrobat X Pro under Windows 7 64-bit. I tried to create such a PDF today at 42" x 72", using the same procedure as always, but without success - didn't ever see the usual dialog for selecting the PDF file name and destination. I tried it with a smaller page size - 36" x 72" - and it worked exactly as expected.
    I embarked upon a little exploration to see, for a given page width, the maximum page length I could use before it wouldn't create a PDF. Here's what I observed:
    15" x 198.8" works, but 15" x 198.9" does not
    20" x 149.1" works, but 20" x 149.2" does not
    36" x 82.85" works, but 36" x 82.86" does not
    42" x 71.01" works, but 42" x 71.02" does not
    Note that, for all of these cases, things cease to work when the area becomes just slightly greater than 2,982 square inches.
    I tried some of the same page sizes for printing to PDF from a different application (Autodesk Inventor), and found the same results. It works when the page area is at or below 2,982 square inches, but fails when the area is slightly greater than that. When it fails when printing from Inventor, in addition to not seeing the usual dialog for selecting the PDF file name and destination, I'm also presented with the error message, "Could not start print job".
    Does anyone have knowledge of this issue? I have searched and - so far - failed.

    Bump.
    I can add now that this system has been upgraded to Acrobat XI Pro.
    The problem still persists, with exactly the same behavior observed as before. I can generate a 42" x 71" page, but not a 42" x 72" page.
    When trying to create a 42" x 71" page, it works correctly from CorelDraw, Autodesk Inventor, and MicroSoft PowerPoint.
    When trying to create a 42" x 72" page:
    CorelDraw - nothing happens.
    Autodesk Inventor - receive error message - "Could not start print job".
    MicroSoft PowerPoint - receive error message - "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." (and more - see attached image).

  • Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

    Hi there,
    We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
    We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
    - Report Title
    - Runt Date and Time
    - Page No
    And text area which displays 'Last Page'
    Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
    Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
    Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
    The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
    But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
    - Report title on first page only.
    - text area on all pages
    All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
    Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
    Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
    Thanks in advance for your help...

    but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
    Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
    In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
    If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

  • Still images are blurry when dropped into Canvas

    HI, I am running Final Cut 7. When I drop still images into onto the Timeline, when I click on that image to appear in the Canvas they are blurry.  However, when I put on the Alpha+RGB they are as sharp as they normally are - except they are red.  How do I change this so they are sharp in the RGB channel?
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks.  Like I said, I have downsized this still image to 720 x 576 at 72 ppi and it goes to crap.
    I just changed the setting to HD 1280 x 720.  Import the 720 x 576 at 72 ppi ... looks good but needs to be rendered .. render and it goes to crap.  Everything that is imported needs to be rendered - then it all goes to crap. OR video looks good as a still frame and when rendered it goes to crap as it isn't HD but I thought it would be the quality of what it normally is just in an HD environment.
    Thinking Final Cut X will solve these issues as it doesn't have these format problems like 7 does.

  • Images lose quality when imported into Pages

    Hi,
    when I import images into Pages, they lose quality. They are normal jpg files.
    After the import they look a bit fuzzy. I dunno why...
    thanks

    In the Inspector "Measures" there is a button allowing us to reset to the original size.
    Of course, the picture will be smaller than the blurred one
    or
    will be too large and parts will be hidden.

  • Image blurred after import into pages documents?

    Hi there, I've been working on the user manual of my software these days. I found out that everytime I took screenshots, they were clear --- as clear as the screen, and after inserting to my pages documents, the images got blurred badly.
    I've checked the size, and they were identical, which means there are no resizes.
    I thought it was the difference of the resolution: screen was 72 dpi, and maybe pages uses higher dpi? So I converted my images to 300 dpi, and they are still blurred after insertion.
    Thanks everyone!
    I am really in a hurry since this user manual is going to be printed in the next few days~!
    thanks!

    Where are they blurred? In Pages or on the print out?
    If in Pages, are you sure you display the pages at 100% (identical to the screen shot)?
    I am not able to reproduce your problem unless I either resize the screen shot in the Pages document or change the page view to something different from 100%.
    I do not have a printer, but my guess is that the printout would look fine, even if you resize the screen shot, so it looks blurry on screen.

  • Imported Screen Shots are Blurry

    Hello FCP users,
    I am challenged and need some guidance. The projects that I create a little mini-movies/demos made up of mostly imported screen shots and some still photos -- never any video. My challenge is that I have a very clean screen shot to work with -- if I bring them up in Preview, Photoshop, etc. they look great. The second I import them into FCP they are blurry, degraded and next to unreadable. I seems like I've tried everything, but nothing seems to make a difference.
    I am not the one taking the screen shots -- they are provided from a different source each time. Each person most likely uses a different product to grab those screen shots, but my guess is that they are probably using snag-it or a similar product. I usually ask them to provide the "best" quality they can. That can mean a ton of different sized screen shots come my way. The ones I'm working with now range in size -- 1,116x760, 1,284x1000, 1,026x813, 1,023x830 to name a few.
    I have been on the boards and did try one recommendation that I saw to reduce the size of the image to the same frame size that you are working with (in my case 720x480). Of course, when I do this there is degradation before I even bring it into FCP.
    So, I'm wondering, should I be asking people to create their screen shots at 720x480? I've been playing around in Parallels with Snag-it to see what options are available -- I don't see that they can choose to produce the screen shots at a certain size -- they can reduce them after they take it, but there's that degradation again. Maybe there is some recommended product that I can suggest? Everyone I work with to supply the screen shots would be a pc user.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I do these often, and my screen quality always looks poor. I'd like to come up with a solution and I'm sure a big part of that is instructing those who supply the screen shots to take them a certain way...perhaps with a certain product...only I don't know what that is.
    Best practices anyone?
    My settings are:
    Frame Size: 720x480
    Aspect Ratio: NTSC DV (3:2)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV (720x480)
    Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
    Thanks for your insights.
    Tawny

    Pan & Scan: in this context, I was referring to the idea of panning across a screen shot instead of reducing it to the size of the video frame. In other words, the original is (e.g.) 2x the width or height and then, as you explain / narrate, it moves across the screen. This preserves the "local" resolution of the original, but doesn't give the viewer a single view of the whole screen. It can be used in conjunction with the "whole view" as a kind of CU shot.

  • HTML page is jumbled when sent as email

    Hello,
    I have an app that creates a schedule for the users and allows them to email it to themselves. I am using InputStreamReader() to capture all the html from that page and insert it in-line into an email. When I output the stream, it works perfectly but when I send it through email some of the content is lost and does not display correctly. Comparing the email source to the output stream, there is a lot of information missing. Please review my code below and let me know if you see any errors. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    <%@ page import="java.util.*,java.sql.*, java.io.*, java.text.*, java.net.*, sun.net.smtp.SmtpClient" %>
    <%
              URL schedule = new URL("http://myDomain.com/schedule/qPrint.jsp?cID=45&aID=0&action=email");
              BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(schedule.openStream()));
              String inputLine;
              StringBuffer httpContent;
              httpContent = new StringBuffer();
              while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null){
                   httpContent.append(inputLine.trim());
              out.println(httpContent.toString());// schedule.jsp looks perfect here
              in.close();
              String from="from";
              String to="to";
              String redirectURL = "./qPrint.jsp?emailSuccess=true"; //this is the calling page

              try{
                   SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("mail.myDomain.com");
                   client.from(from);
                   client.to(to);
                   PrintStream message = client.startMessage();
                   message.println("To: " + to);
                   message.println("Subject: " + request.getParameter("emailSubject"));
                   message.println("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
                   message.println(request.getParameter("message")+htmlBreak+httpContent.toString());

  • Large Word document imported into Pages with "Section Break Problems"

    Hi there,
    I am importing a large Word document with many photos (>250 pages) into Pages. Now, the problem is that when using the "page thumbnail" window to the left it marks all my windows with a yellow border.
    This means that I can't duplicate single pages - it will duplicate the whole stuff. Same thing for delete.
    I can go to the last character of each page and insert a "section break". This creates single pages. But it seems a bit odd to me, and with >250 pages, this is quite some work too.
    Any idea what I can do to solve quickly the issue?
    Thanks for any hints!

    Sections are what they say they are natural breaks in the document.
    Each section usually having headers footers and other basic content in common.
    Effectively just like chapters in a book or specifically designed pages in a magazine or report.
    If your text naturally flows from one page to the next then they should stick together.
    If on the other hand you are treating them all like single leaves of paper to be shuffled around, then you need a section break at the end of each page.
    3 ways you can quickly do this:
    1. There is a unique start to each page such as a return followed by a particular word. You can search on this combination replacing it with a section break followed by the word.
    2. You can make a short cut to do this from the keyboard
    3. You can copy a section break and paste it at the end of each preceding page.
    4. You can transfer by copying and pasting the content into a Layout mode document where every page is its own section.
    As with most work, planning, organisation and thinking before you leap, pays off in the long run.

  • Project HTM Files are Blurry when opened in Web Browser

    Hello, I'm hoping someone on this discussion board can help me!
    I have created a video project for work in Adobe Captivate 6 and have published it. I now need to upload this video project onto our company's website.
    In short, here is my problem: When I open the HTM file for my video project from the original file source, it appears normal. However, once I wrote a path to the HTM file in our website's HTML code and went to open the page in my internet browser (I've been using Firefox) the video appears blurry.
    How can this be? Clearly the quality of the HTM file is fine, since it was not blurry when I opened it from the original file source. Can anyone think of a reason why it is blurry when opened in an internet browser? I know this sometimes can happen with the SWF files because internet browsers can alter their dimensions, but I thought using HTM files was supposed to help in avoiding these sorts of problems.
    Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Sure.
    Here is a screenshot from one of the older videos:
    And here is a screenshot from my video:
    They are essentially the same screen, but for some reason in my version everything looks far more pixelated. Any thoughts on this?

  • Article - creating complimentary colour groups / colour matching images imported into Illustrator?

    greetings all.
    i have a number of pictures that i have imported into illustrator.
    some are live traced vector images
    some are bitmaps from photoshop
    here is my question. i want to take an image and create a swatch from the range of colours expressed in the image. alternatively i'd like a workflow that allows me to match complimentary colours to what is already there.
    i am pretty sure that it can be done via a live trace but often it doesnt give me all the colours i would like to use?
    are there any other ways in illustrator, 3 rd party programs or other recommendations that you recommend?
    thank you kindly
