Joint pdf signed for printing

i want to joint pdf signed for printing or to have a mutiple printing, is-ti possible?
Thanks
Acrobat 10

The question is, have I set up the PDF correctly?
If you want all color converted to AdobeRGB.
Composite printer's often expect RGB, but they usually provide RGB output profiles like this Epson output profile for glossy paper.

Is there a way to reduce the size of a final PDF created for print when saving a file?

Is there a way to reduce the size of a final PDF created for print when saving in any software (especially illustrator)? I don't want any quality to decrease at the same time. Thanks!

Personally I would avoid optimizing the PDF's via Adobe Acrobat Pro unless you understand what you are removing from the PDF; having said that, it is the most effective way to reduce the file-size in the right hands.
If I am sending out layouts for commercial print I change my default Print / Export setting from Standard to PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK). This will resolve a lot of common print problems for print-ready documents and it should embed your fonts and flatten transparencies etc.
If your document is still too large you run an Audit Space Usage using Adobe Acrobat Pro. In the left pane enable 'Content' and then hit the button in the top left corner of the Content Pane and choose Audit Space Usage.

How do I save a PDF ready for print. I have a problem with the fonts. The fonts are blurry after printing. There is a trick in saving PDF.

Hi el_giclee,
Important to note from the beginning is that when you create your Photoshop document make sure you chose 300 Pixels/inch as your resolution.
I'm interested in seeing your Save Adobe PDF dialog box after you choose to save the PDF.
Could you post a screenshot of this dialog box with the Compression menu selected on the left side?
It's a good idea to select High Quality Print or Press Quality in the Adobe PDF Preset menu at the top of this box. It will automatically select the best default settings for a printed piece.

Exporting PDF locked for printing is printable

When my client drops a PDF (locked-for-printing and locked-for-copy-content) in Windows 7 on Firefox, it is printable.
What can I do to prevent printing?

Note the warning when setting security in Acrobat.
In this case, the "third-party product" is FireFox. The FireFox developers are debating whether they are any obligation to pay attention to what you want.

Text not showing in PDF created for print

After exporting an illustrator document I tred to make a high quality PDF for print but the text does not show in the PDF file.

Impossible to know. You have not provided any info about your document, what font you used, what appearances on the text, what PDF settings, what system or even what version of AI plus how you review the document. From the font simply not being allowed to be embedded to specific appearances not rendering correctly to unsuitable PDF settings there could be anything at work here. You need to be much more specific.

Creating PDF brochure for printing: Remove white margin

Hi guys,
I created a brochure in Idesign which has a black background color.
In order to print the brochure I want to create a PDF (with the right order of pages, e.g. page 1 next to page 8, 2 next to 7 etc.) via the "print function".
The page order is not a problem, but unfotunately I always get a white margin although there is no such in the original indesign document.
(When using the normal "export function" of Indesign there is no white margin, but then I cannot create a PDF with the right page order for printing...)
Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Best,
Chris

In order to print with bleed you generally need to print onto a larger sheet and trim. I'm guessing you are trying to print this on a desktop printer of some sort, and unless specifically designed for "borderless" printing they always have a border along the edge that cannont be imaged.

Packaging .AI file to PDF ready for printer - MAC Tiger user

Hallo, I need some help please about sending artwork to printer who is using a FUJI colour Laser printer. (like most printers who are using laser here they reply to me to simply send them PDF, when I ask about embedded profiles or not to embed they tend to look at me blankly and say just send them a proof for me to compare colours)?!?!?!?
So, Please could someone confirm wether or not I have applied the best setting in my PDF conversions: I am running CS3 creative suite and acrobat version 8.0. thanks.
When you get the PDF options window on the " save Adobe pdf", On the first GENERAL page I set this to PDF/x-1a, (but why is there also the standard tab where I can do the same thing? so I set this also to PDF/x-1a. The compatibility goes to acrobat 4.0.
I now go to OUTPUT. here I set the following:
Colour conversion -- convert to destination preserve numbers
Destination (since this is laser I set it to -- Generic cmyk profile
Profile inclusion policy is grayed out.
In PDF/X box under output intent profile name is set to Generic cmyk, and that is all.
Before i did all this my global colour settings management policy is set to FOGRA27 (iso 12647-2:2004) and adobe RGB 1998 for the photos from photoshop cs3 of course. I then convert the document to the generic cmyk profile before packaging it into PDF and assigning these settings.
I have searched everywhere for detailed tutorials about precisely how to pakage your work for an outside printer, but the web is silent when it comes to laser printing. I would love to know if there are any resources which cover all the issues of preparing your artwork for print since this side of the job is a minefield of complicated presets and flattening and font changing techniques.
I am a memeber of Lynda.com and while they are excellent teachings and professional, I have unfortunately not been able to learn the gritty detailsof printing from them, only the basics.
I appreciate the person who takes the time to reply to this.
I thank you.
Kind regards
Chris Watts

Your settings should do the job adequately, but there is a much simpler and more reliable method. Get Acrobat Professional. Generate your artwork in AI and save it as an .eps file. Then use Acrobat Distiller to generate the .pdf file. The advantages are that AD produces MUCH smaller file sizes, much better .pdf files and has a number of presets from which to choose, depending on the intended purpose of the file.
Another hint as far as quality control is concerned - you should be working in the CMYK color space in Photoshop, if you are going to produce CMYK images in the .pdf file. CMYK is a narrower color space than RGB, so there is often a color shift upon conversion. You may have the image exactly the way you want it, as an RGB, but be disappointed in the printed version because of the shift in color during conversion. If you work in CMYK, you can adjust it to get the results you want.

Creating PDF brochure for printing: Black color adjustment

Hi guys,
I created a brochure in Idesign which has a black background color and in addition also some pictures with black backgrounds.
In order to print the brochure I want to create a PDF (with the right order of pages, e.g. page 1 next to page 8, 2 next to 7 etc.) via the "print function".
The page order is not a problem, but the black background color is rather gray instead of black - so there is quite a difference between the black background color of the pictures and of the whole background.
(When using the normal "export function" of Indesign I know how to solve the color problem, but then I cannot create a PDF with the right page order for printing...)
Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Best,
Chris

Your images all use some form of Rich Black for the background, and that prints using all 4 CMYK inks. Your 100%K background will almost always seem gray next to that because it is, in fact, lighter. This will be true even if you use a profile conversion to make it also a 4-color black.
You can make your own rich black swatch and use it as the background (sample a few of the images to get some idea of a good mix), but in truth your images are still probably not going to match all that well. Images tend to have color variations across the background, and your ID background is a flat color, so even a slight mismatch can cause the edges to be obvious. There can also be differences in color on some printers caused by differences in the way raster and vector content are processesd.
I prefer to embrace that, or at least admit it is going to happen, and either use a completely different color for the background so the mismatch always shows, and looks deliberate rather than like a mismatch, or I add a stroke to the image frames, often paper, to break the continuity and disguise the mismatch.
As far as imposing the file and exporting, there are a number of free scripts, and an actual plugin, IDimposer which is also currently free, that can impose your file for you before you export. You can learn more about the plugin at Overview | IDImposer

PDF quality for print

Can someone explain to me if saving a file from photoshop or illustrator to PDF and sending it to press will lower the printing quality. Should I use native file format and avoid saving artwork to PDF, or it does not matter?
Thanks

The retention of your original quality depends on what settings you use. There are presets you can use in all the Adobe Apps you mentioned. For print use the presets
High Quality Print
PDF-X 1A
Both will not compress your images or changes colors. PDF-X is commonly requested by online print services.
"Smallest file size" preset will make your images RGB and compress them, this is good for emailing proofs for design approval.
As to whether to send print ready PDFs or submit .ai files along with fonts & images, depends on you and the print service you are going to use. If you have full confidence in the print service then send .ai files as your printer can make necessary edits (DMAX adjustment, thicken or thin up lines) . If you are sending to print in China for example, there are communications and quality/software version issues that can drive you nuts so you may want to just send them print readyPDFs.

Export database information into pdf forms for printing

I'm hoping that this is doable and isn't extremely hard.
I have an access database that contains customer information. From this information I would like to export it into an existing pdf form (for each individual customer) and save it for printing at a later time.
Is this possible?
Thanks for any help!!

If you are using Acrobat 8 or above, you will want to use LiveCycle Designer.

Is there a way to automate missing fonts in thousands of small pdf's for print

Greetings,
We are receiving thousands of small PDF's from several differnet locations with missing fonts. The controller on the printer is having to perform
font substitution on each page. This causes the printer to cycle and not run at rated speed.
I am wondering is there a way to have these files insert all the missing fonts before they reah the controller on the printer?
Thank you so much.
HDRDR

There are tools out in the market which should be able to embed and fix missing fonts. You might look at something like PitStop server.
If no commercial product is out there, you might talk to the developers of such tools for a customization.
Hope this can help.

Pages: How to export a PDF suitable for print-on-demand

I need to be able to export a PDF from Pages that will meet the specs for the IngramSpark or Lightning Source Print on Demand programs. They require a PDF that has all fonts fully embedded in one of these two PDF versions:
PDF/X-1a:2001 or PDF/X-3:2002
Does Pages export - either through the export function or Print function - to either of those specs and does it embed full font sets?
Thanks.

The reason neither Pages, or Swift Publisher nor most of the low cost DTP apps do this on OSX is because they use Apple's muddled print output. It almost but not quite outputs to PDF/X-3:2002, and even there there are caveats.
Indesign and QuarkXpress use their own print engines and Scribus uses GhostScript.
GhostScript is available for OSX. I have not tried this so you are in wide open territory, but experiment to see if it fixes Pages' output. My suspicions are that GhostScript may not capture Pages' output before it has already been through Apple's muddled output.
There are other problems with Apple's approach. No specifiable defined colours in Styles. No spot colours, and no proofing. ColorSync itself is powerful but undocumented and difficult to tailor. You can run the end result through Acrobat Pro's Press Check but it only picks up the errors, you are on your own trying to fix them.
The only easy to use, low price DTP application that meets your requirements is Serif PagesPlus, which runs only on Wimdows. You can run this in BootCamp or some other virtualiser.
Adobe lets you effectively hire Indesign CC by the month so may be a cost effective solution in the short term. It is a professional solution but has a professionally difficult interface.

How can I save a PSD image 'full size' in a PDF doc for printing

I have a Photoshop image we've created that will be taken to the printer for a 3x6 banner. I need to save it as a PDF document, but when I do, it doesn't save as the original size of the image. I'm a total novice, so can someone help me with instructions to creat the PDF with the appropriate size image for the printing company to create the banner?

Seconded! I have a 1039x697 PSD which comes out as a 249x167 PDF! Every time! What am I doing wrong?

Grouping pdf's for printing

I have a disc with hundreds of pdfs. I want to group them and print in order at a specified printer setting. (as opposed to opening them one at a time)
Do I need special program / download? How can I do this.

There is no easy way to do what you want. Reader does not support what you want, I do not think Acrobat does either. Even if Acrobat would do what you wanted it would be cheaper to hirer someone at minimum wage to sit in front of a computer to print it out they way you wanted.

How do I decide which PDF version for print?

Hi
I'm almost finished this project and have another issue with printing. The colours aren't matching. I've used 'Kuler' for all my CYMK colours and for whatever reason, I can't nail the colours in my test runs and the client isn't happy. There are so many options when exporting to Acrobat and I'm thinking this may have something to do with this....dunno ;-)).
Any ideas?

There are a lot of small problems in your workflow which could add up to big problems on the output end.
Calibrating via the OSX software calibrator is better than doing nothing, but it's not likely as good as a hardware calibrator because it's depending on your empirical judgements rather than a colorimeter reading.
On the other end is the proof you are getting a contract proof? If you are using the default US Web SWOP CMYK profile does the proof match those printing conditions?
The bigger problems are with Kuler. Neither the AIR app or the web app are color managed, so in its color picker there's no way to know how the conversion to the displayed CMYK numbers was made, or what CMYK device is targeted (US SWOP, US Sheetfed, Euroscale?). When you view the swatches in Kuler you are seeing them in your monitor RGB space. When you port the swatches into ID they come in as the listed CMYK values, which are displayed via your doc's CMYK profile, so you won't get a match and the preview will change depending on the profile.
Also, the Kuler CMYK values have a huge amount of black in them—significantly more than you would get making the conversions in PS or ID with any of the default profiles.I think you would likely get better CMYK values by screen capturing the swatches in the Kuler app (OSX captures get tagged with your monitor profile), convert the capture to CMYK in PS using your destination CMYK profile, and use the resulting CMYK values in your ID doc.
