Increasing the DPI's for a PDF document

I am converting a Finale (music notation software) file into PDF with my Abode Acrobat 8 Professional.  There are crescendos and descrescendos (they look like this < or > but longer) and the lines come out jagged.  They look kind of okay on the screen, maybe slightly discolored (not black all the way, some grey sections alternating with black) and when they print out, you can see the pixelations, and they come out a little jagged rather than smooth black lines.  Horizontal and vertical lines are always fine, it only happens when they are at an angle other than 90 or 180 degrees.

How are you converting Finale to PDF?
An important consideration as this process dictates the quality of content in the PDF.
Be well...

  • Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

    We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
    1)  When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected.  However when we click on the document
    link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option.  Why does this happen????? 
    2)  The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email;   HOWEVER,  one of our co-workers does get the
    check out option when clicking on the link in the email task.  Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ????  We have compared our internet settings and adobe
    settings to ours and found no differences.
    We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI.  Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
    I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
    It will be better if you can descript how you
    get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
    Then I upload a
    word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
    I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • Adobe cant open the pdf it may be damaged or corrupted this happens for all pdf documents

    Adobe cant open the pdf it may be damaged or corrupted this happens for all pdf documents
    Steps to resolve
    Uninstalled and restarted the server
    Installed agan same error
    Uninstalled and restarted the server
    - Installed version 9.5
    - Same error

    Is this happening for brand new files downloaded from the internet?
    Or only for existing folders of PDFs on the server?
    Has the modification date changed on the PDFs?

  • How do I increase the font size of a large document?

    Whenever I try to increase the font size of a large document, the text boxes cross their boundaries and mix with each other, or partly disappear at the end of every page. Do I really have to adjunst every text bos in the document or is there a faster way? Im having this issue with adobe acrobat 11 pro

    This is not a feasible thing to do. Editing a PDF is a desperate last resort for so many reasons.
    Whatever you need to solve, you are unlikely  to solve it in Acrobat. Probably best to export text and remake it.

  • Where do I change the dpi settings for creating a jpg in Bridge CS5?

    I upload jpgs to an online site to be viewed in a browser. I've been using Bridge CS5 to batch process the jpgs from high quality pdfs.The settings I see when I do the settings to create the jpgs will only give me Maximum settings and the option to set it on 12 but when I open the jpg that's created in Photoshop, it's still 72. I would like to have at least a 150 dpi setting. I've searched and can't find any help online. What am I doing wrong, or isn't there any place to give me the option to change the settings to a higher dpi in Bridge? If this isn't possible, what do you suggest to make the process go faster? I'm using the Adobe CS5 programs.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    "Maximum" and "12" usually refer to compression (influencing image quality and jpeg file size in bytes); and as Curt wrote, dpi is meaningless for display by and viewing in web browsers.  (It could be a different matter if you are uploading the jpeg files for someone to download from the web to print.)
    What are the sequence of steps that you and your batch processing take from Bridge?
    You can use call Photoshop's Image Processor from Bridge to create the jpeg files  (Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor).  In the Image Processor you can set jpeg compression, pixel dimensions if desired, also convert to sRGB (good idea for web display).  In my experience the image processor leaves unchanged whatever dpi is set in the source file; or, if none there as might be for a pdf, it will set the dpi value in your New Document Preset Print Resolution (from your Photoshop Units & Rulers preferences).

  • Can I print the last page of a PDF document using command line?

    Hi
    I am in a situation in which I constantly have to deal with multiple PDF documents and I need to print the last page in each of these, and ONLY the last page. The total number of pages will vary for each file, so the page number for the last page will also vary.
    I would really prefer to not do this manually, by opening up each file in the visible Adobe Reader window and then print.
    Question:
    Is there a way with Adobe Reader (maybe with the help of some other Adobe product) to print only the last page of a PDF document using some kind of command line without opening up the PDF file in the visible Adobe Reader window?
    I'm using Windows.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Emil

    Thank you for taking the time to reply.
    I tried both ways and neither works.  It gives me a prompt box that I have to click "next" for every page but after going thru all pages, nothing is sent to the printer.
    Also, all directions I've read indicate it will print to the default printer.  If my default printer is on a network, will that cause problems....
    and...
    should I be getting a prompt box on every page?  I thought all this would happen behind the scenes and not force me to interact with every page.

  • Styling links for a PDF document

    Hello!
    I am trying to style my links for this PDF document. They should signal "go forward" or "more information here" in the simplest, most minimalistic manner. Now, I know I've seen symbols like these before, I just can't for the life of me remember where. Anyhow here's my attempt at recreating them:
    The blue text gets underlined when the mouse hovers it. The symbol stays the same though.
    So what do you guys think? How'd you wanna improve them?
    Many thanks!

    Also, yesterday the lines around my text field and text boxes....mysteriously disappeared.
    Can someone pls tell me how to get them back as I use them to line up my objects.
    Thanks~

  • Particular font for entire pdf document

    Can i set a particular font for entire pdf document while designing pdf forms in LiveCycle Designer ES?
    How can i do it?

    Each object has its own settings for font. You can set the object to the font that you want and then drag it back onto the palette. It will ask you to overwrite the current one. As you drag the object back into the drawing area the new font will be used. This is true aof all properties of the object and not just font.
    This is useful if you are creating a new form, but if one already exists then the easiest way is to open the XML source (right mouse click on the Design tab and choose XML source. Use the search facility to find all occurances of typeface and chnage each one to the font that you want. Save the XML and then all objects will have the same font.
    Make sure that you make a backup of th eform before you play with the XML. There is no undo once the cahnges are committed.

    Hi Tatayya Marni,
    1. Can you tell me whether the pdf documents are opening when you are selecting them?
    2. This error comes mostly when you havent included this .extn file (.pdf in your case) to the portal.
    3. Check whether this extn is their in your portal if not make it inclueded and then try making a new index and one new data source where your pdf is residing. Try for one Test.
    You have to include the file extns in System Confi....UI Interface...
    Hope this will resolve your issue.

  • Captivate 8 : the PDF export created a file with a PDF extension.. but it's actually a video. Shouldn't it export the slides as a proper PDF document ?

    In Adobe Captivate, there is a "PDF export" checkbox available when you publish your project.
    It checked the box, and the project pulication created a file with a PDF extension.. but it's actually a video. Shouldn't it export the slides as a proper PDF document ?

    Thanks for the quick answer. I did not know about interactive PDFs..
    I just found how to export as a Word document. I would have expected to find that option in "Publish" or "Export", not "Print".. Anyway, I now have what I needed

  • Support for multiple pdf document with signature

    I have a question about signatures.
    Does the PDF specification support the combination of multiple pdf documents into one pdf document with the following constraint:
    - each individual pdf document has been signed (by an X.509 certificate),
    - the individual documents can come from different sources, so they have to be 'included' or merged into the final pdf,
    - the final pdf document should not change the signatures of the individual documents.
    So each part of the document should maintain the integrity of the individual components and the signature of the individual comnponents are still valid.
    Does the pdf specification support this feature?
    With kind regards,
    Ernst Jan

    What you want is called a PDF Package (or Portable Collection in the PDFRef) and is new in PDF 1.7. You can try it out with Acrobat 8.
