Is there a way to resize graphics to uniform dimensions?

I have multiple graphics in a FrameMaker 7 document. I’m using Illustrator CS3 to enhance them (adding text, arrows). The problem is, the size they are in Illustrator is not the size they end up as in the document. I save them as .ai files and export them to .jpg files, then import them by reference into the document. Some I have to scale down, some are good as they are. What’s the quickest way to get them all to a uniform size to each other in AI and in FrameMaker? Thanks for any suggestions.

I am under the impression that FrameMaker simply pushes the eps file through to the printer when creating the PDF or printing.
That could easily be the case, except for ...
If FrameMaker needs to send a non-embedded font to the printer, then it simply has to find the font and send it.
That's somewhat inconsistent with just pass it through.
If it is not on the system, I doubt FrameMaker does anything to the eps file before it sends it; any garbling in the output is likely due to the printer/Distiller not having access to the font required by the eps.
This could easily be true. In my test, Frame (7.1 Unix) didn't complain when opening the .fm that contained an .eps that included Arial Unicode Chinese characters. It displayed the thumbnail, with the glyphs apparently present. It generated a .ps file without complaint. Curiously, I distilled that .ps to .pdf on the same PC that created the EPS. That PC has that font. The glyphs were garbled in the PDF. Hmmm.
This scenario is our workflow, by the way, and not just a test scenario. We author on FM7.1/Unix, but edit and create graphical objects on Win64 PCs (which product objects are usually EPS, often with text, possibly Unicode). We Distill on the PCs. Today's test confirmed why I have a rule of: either embed the fonts, or convert text to outlines. If you convert text to outlines, of course, the EPS is no longer "text" when re-opened in AI.
Others have explained on this forum that Illustrator can (if you tell it to) save the AI-dependent information in the eps file. So, the eps file has the same information as is in the AI file.
As a recent member, I haven't seen that. Thanks. I suspect the same is true for PDFs saved from AI, but there's still the convert-to-outlines issue.
Possibly one could copy all the text to a new layer. Outline in the new layer. Hide the real text layers. Save as EPS. Now you'd have a portable print object with full original edit capability (and a few tens of kB more metadata that needs to be redacted from the final PDF for the sake of size).
It's easier to simply retain the .ai master.
We do the same for PSD, where the product is also an EPS, and has to be flattened for save as EPS.

ID CS4: Is there a way to resize multiple objects at one time?

InDesign CS4: I have a group of object frames that I need to resize (I don't care about resizing the content, I know how to do that) and I'm wondering if there's a way to resize them all at once to a specific size. If I group them and resize them it only gives me the group height and width, I want them each to be a specific measurement.
Any suggestions or know plug-ins to help?

If you don't want to use data merge or xml, you can also place multiple images in one action.

When I try to open a document sized 9" by 18", Reader opens it as standard 8.5" by 11". Is there a way to resize the frame in Reader? Do I need a different software?

The document is a seating chart for my wedding. I made the document in Word because of instructions from this site: http://mrsfancee.com/chalkboard-seating-chart/
When I save it as a pdf, Reader just fits what it can from the original document into the standard page settings and cuts off parts of my document. Is there a way to make this work with the Word document? Or do I need to start all over in a different software? I'm kind of panicking because it's for my wedding in 11 days, and apparently I don't know what I'm doing at all.
Sidenote: I called Microsoft already and they told me the problem isn't on their end, so that's not an option.
Thank you in advance.

What are you using to save as a pdf? Reader doesn't have anything to do with creating the pdf. If you are simply using the "Save As>PDF in Word then yes, it's a Microsoft issue. No Adobe product is involved in that part. Adobe Reader is only seeing what is created.
But, when you say it's being cut off do you mean it's cutting it off in the pdf itself or is it all visible in the pdf but is being cut off when you print?

Is there a way to resize images easily and quickly?

I have a number of images that I have imported into the Library module. I want to resize a few of them so I can attach them to an e-mail. Is there an quick and easy way to do this in the Library or Develop modules without having to go to the Web module. I don't want to really alter the size of the originals, rather, I would prefer to make copies of these images and then "resize the copies. They are RAW images and I do have CS5 available if that would be an easier route to go. Any advice, insight or assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

WesternGuy

You don't need to go to the Web module. That's for making standalone web sites. You don't even need to make your own copies first.
Just select the images and click the Export button at the bottom of the left panel. In there you'll see a Lightroom preset called For E-Mail. Select that, make sure you like the settings on the right like file names, format, size, and quality, and click Export. That's it. If you don't change anything it will make 640x640-pixel JPEG copies of your raw images in one step, ready for you to attach to a message, and without altering your Raw originals in any way.
Conrad, thanks for the insight . Who would have thought it would be so simple.

Is There A Way To Resize Photos To Fit Desktop Display?

Whenever I find cool pics to make into a desktop slideshow, they're either too big or too small. Centering or tile views never look right. I can crop photos in Preview, but it's both tedious and basically guesswork. Is there a standard size that fits?

The size of the pic needed will depend on your screen size and your resolution. You can use an app such as GraphicConverter
http://www.lemkesoft.com/
to resize until you get the right size.

Is there any way to resize videos that were done in a larger format?

I recently took several videos and didn't realize that in order to send them, I had to change the size to QVGA. After several frustrating attempts to send by phone and email, I gave up. My question is this: Is there anyway to downsize a video after it is recorded in a larger format? I tried video editing apps and they didn't work at all as far as resizing. Any help will be appreciated as these videos cannot be redone. Thank you.

Hey,
Check out the article below. It might give you some ideas.

Is there any way to add graphics to the FLVPlayback's skin background?

Try as I might, any visual changes to the ChromFill (border_mc) of the FLVPlayback skin does absolutely nothing. I understand how alpha and color can be changed, but what if I want the color to be a linear gradient? Or an image?
I thought that perhaps making the background alpha zero and then adding my own background would work, but then it won't resize when the player goes fullscreen.

Other Single Source Layouts refers to outputs such as JavaHelp so I have moved this to RoboHelp HTML.
Depends what you mean by "authorised" and where the help is. If you mean any employee of a company and the help is on a server only accessible to them, job done. If it is on the web, then anyone can access it unless your developers add some security. There is nothing built into RoboHelp so it's down to your developers and permissions to access the location.
CHMs should be on the local drive of the user.
Hope that helps.

Is there a way of resizing the contents of multiple bounding boxes at the same time using the number fields in the tool bar?

I'musing cs6 and need to resize an image and two text boxes to a specific pixel width.
I try selecting all of the boxes and punching in 960 px in the resizing field in the tool bar but only the bounding boxes and not their contents get resized...

Use the horizontal scale field (and include the units) rather than the width field.

Resizing graphics - and jagged edges

I have a lot of graphics that have been delivered to me 1920 x 1280. When I resize them in FCP 5.1.4., the edges are very jagged. BUT, when I bring those same graphics into After Effects and resize them and bring them into Final Cut, the edges are clean and perfect.
This happens whenever I try to resize footage or graphics in Final Cut. Which means that I spend a lot of time bouncing around between AAE and FCP.
Is there a way to resize graphics in FCP at a higher quality? (I do have the "motion filtering quality" set to "best" in the sequence settings...)
Thanks in advance!
Derrick

Are the clips in FCP still jagged after rendering? That might be the issue.... Or, are you scaling the pictures up when you resize them? Are they still jagged after exporting?
jesse.

Is there any way to fix a project recorded in the wrong resolution without redoing?

Is there any way to resize a project once it has been recorded so that it fits on the screen? The person who recorded the project set the resolution at 1280 X 774 pixels and it's too large to see the entire project on the screen...you have to keep panning back and forth. I am hoping we don't have to have him rerecord the entire project.

Hi there
Try clicking Project > Rescale and scaling the project to be a smaller size.
Note that you probably want to leave the "Maintain aspect ratio" option selected (you are welcome Lilybiri )
Additionally, note that rescaling will inevitably result in a loss of fidelity. Things just begin to fuzzy up when you do that. The degree to which it suffers is in direct proportion to how much scaling you wish to do.
As a final note, you only really want to ever rescale a project once. So if you aren't sure about the final outcome, click File > Save As and rescale. Look at it. LIke it? Terrific! Keep it! Don't like it so much? Scrap it and open the original again. Then again click File > Save As...
Rinse and repeat as necessary... Rick

Is there a way to stop table resizing?

Is there a way to prevent Dreamweaver from resizing tables
automatically, even after you've told it that you want the table to
be only, say, 800 pixels wide? Currently, if you make a mistake and
you paste a long URL in a table, it resizes the table, rather than
just cutting it off or otherwise prompting you about what it
intends to do. Likewise, if you insert a graphic that's too big for
the table, rather than just cropping the graphic and letting you
know you need to make adjustments, it screws up the table
permanently. Likewise, anytime you insert anything in a column, it
resizes all the other columns, even if what you inserted fits
perfectly and does not require resizing. Lately, the only thing I
use Dreamweaver for is editing HTML. I find that, because of its
automated "features" that screw everything up and make it
impossible to fix, it's actually faster in the long run, to write
the code by hand and avoid the Design mode like the plague. It's
like throwing a firecracker into your HTML. Here's to hoping
someone can tell me how to make Dreamweaver tables behave.

Nope. The closest you can get is border-spacing, but it's
poorly supported.

In PS CS6, Is there a way to break apart Handwritten text (not text recognition, just graphically)

I have a scanned document that I want to eventually bring into After Effects to animate each handwritten letter so that it will form into an image... and because this is based on an artist's work, it needs to stay in her handwriting...
So I want to prep it in Photoshop CS6 ... is there a way to do this easily...
Thanks for any help in advance!!

Now, I have not used actual handwriting, but the concept is the same with a "handwriting font," as with the actual handwriting.
I use a series of Layer Comps in Photoshop, and Import those into Premiere Pro (will be essentially the same for AE). I start with the completed graphic, and then add a Layer Mask that covers everything up. Usually, I will just "paint in" this Layer Mask, so that I can get a rough idea of layout of the text. [If you scan is picking up background, such as the paper, things get a bit more tricky.]
Then, I hit the X button, to switch my colors for "painting out" that mask, starting with the first stroke, and working up to having no mask holding back, or hiding the text. Where strokes cross over each other, you have to give consideration for how that handwriting would appear, if one had shot a video of it, and at the cross-overs, the removal of the mask will be more complex, so as to not reveal any of the next stroke too soon. It can be a bit tedious, but can produce a good result.
As I complete the revealing of the stroke, or the part that I want (sort of depends on the pacing), I Save a Layer Comp, incrementing the name, which will be a numerical name, such as 00001.PSD, 00002.PSD, and so on.
I Import those into Premiere Pro (usually at a Duration of 3 - 5 Frames), and add a very short Cross-Dissolve Transition between each.
Good luck,
Hunt
