Making a pdf out of a multi size page

love being able to have one doc with many page sizes but when i tried to export to pdf to send to my client, they pages became one size.

Use Automator, that is the easiest way to do it.
Open Automator from Applications
Choose Workflow
From the Library (on the left)
Files & Folders > Get Specified Finder Items (drag to right part of window or double click on it to add it to the workflow)
PDFs > New PDF from Images
Select Save Output to: Location of your choice
Select Output File Name: Name of your choice
Adjust the photo sizes if you wish
(This one is optional)
File & Folders > Open Finder Items
(this will open the new PDF in Preview (or other PDF viewer) to view the result.
Now drag or add the photos into the 'Get Specified Finder Items' section
Run.
Photos are now combined into one PDF and opened to view.
You can also save the workflow for later use to, so you don't hve to set it up each time.
Hope this helps

Making a PDF with "Outline" and Bookmarks Using Pages

Hi, I'm using Pages 1 and I have tried making a PDF with outline breaks but I failed. I thought using paragraph styles for my document would work but when I exported my document to PDF, all I got was a PDF that only has the thumbnails view but not the outline view. Also, when I exported my document that has bookmarks to PDF, all the bookmarks don't work anymore. How can I make a PDF document using Pages with all the bookmarks and the organization just like other PDFs that I encounter? Thanks

Hello LadyinStilettos,
welcome to the Pages Discussions. If I remember correct, in Pages 1.x there is no way to export text links to PDF. An outline view creation doesn't exist.
If you want to have links in PDF (of the TOC, too), then you should upgrade to iWork'06. But outline view doesn't exist here like it doesn't in version 1.x.

Create PDF using DoCmd.Outputto method in legal size page

I am working in MS Access 2010. I am trying to convert a report to a PDF file. I am using the following command "DoCmd.Outputto acOutputReport, Report Name, acFormatPDF, FileName". The report I am using is formatted in legal page
size. When the PDF is created using letter size pages and the buttom of each page is cut off. I would like to find out why this is happening.
Bob Gouveia

Open the report in Design mode. Click Page Setup, go to the Page tab, and click the "Use Specific Printer" readio button. Click Printer. Select the Adobe PDF printer, then click Properties. Make sure Legal is the selected paper size. Click OK twice to get
back to the page setup window. Make sure the paper Size field is Legal, and Source is Automatically Select.
When I do this OutputTo --> PDF corretly uses the size (Legal) and orientation (Landscape) that I selected. Does this work for you?

I am trying to print a PDF file to a legal size paper and I would like for it to fill up the page. How do I do this? I went into the settings and changed it from letter to legal, but it's still printing out the same size. Can someone help me, please?

Are you trying to Print to PDF or are you trying to Print a PDF file to a physical printer?

Is it possible to have the crop marks where you want when making a PDF?

Is it possible to have the crop marks where you want when making a PDF?
So if I have an Indesign document 84x55 with a 3mm bleed but I want a PDF from that document to crop at 85x55 (adding .5mm to the left and right of the PDF), the crop marks are offset by 3mm but I want the left and right crop to be .5mm out into the bleed and not at the document edge.
Resizing the Indesign file is ruled out for the moment.
Thanks, Tim

The automatic crop marks will always indicate the trim size of the document as defined in Document Setup, so the simple answer is no. You will need to draw custom crop marks in the slug area. You can set the slug area my clicking More Options in Document Setup.
This is a highly unusual request. The purpose of crop marks is to indicate the one and only trim area for the page. Why do you want crop marks that don’t match the document size?

Making A Row Of Thumbnails The Same Size As The Screen Monitor No Matter What Montior You Use

I am making a website and am trying to get the row of thumbnails/cells (which contain 5 thumbnails across each set in a cell) to be the same length as the screen monitor so that you do not have to scroll horizontally across to see more cells/thumbnails in the table.
Here is the thing. When I first started making tables, I was making actual pixels to fit MY screen size, but then I found when I looked at the website on another computer the tables came out different sizes (because of different size monitors I assume). So, I changed the tables from pixels to 100% and that seemed to do the trick. Whatever computer I pulled the website up on, the tables extend perfectly across the monitor screen to its fullest extent and without having to scroll horizontally.
The next part of the website involved adding thumbnails of images. So I made a table 6 rows across by 5 columns down. And I put a thumbnail in each cell, so that 5 thumbnails went across the row. I also set the table width to 100% just like I previously did for my heading table. When I tested it on a laptop computer it seemed perfectly fine and the 5 cells in the row extended across exactly to the length of the monitor. But, then when I opened it up on a desktop computer, I had a problem. What you see is 4 of the columns on the monitor and then the fifth column is further to the right off the screen, which makes you have to move a horizontal scroll bar to see the fifth column. This table is also not flush with the heading table either obviously, although I have both set to 100%.
I don't know if my problem has to do with the table I made or the image sizes in Photoshop. In photoshop after I had scanned the image I went to "Image Size" and reduced the "document size" width to 1.5 cm to make the image come out a lot smaller. Should I be doing something different in Photoshop when changing the "Image Size"? Maybe saving it as a different measurement (choices are percent, inches, cm, mm, points, picas, columns)? Or, do I need to change something with my table/cells?
Anyone know?
Thanks.
P.S. I will post this in Dreamweaver and Photoshop, to get a little more help.

If I have to accept the fact that this table I made can't fit each person's monitor screen, then ok, but at least have it to where all the tables are flush with each other. If you take a look at the website URL I posted, every table I made for this page is set to 100%. No matter what computer I pull up the webpage, the heading tables and bottom copyright table come out to 100% of the screen size like it should. It is the tables I have for the pictures that extend pass this and make a horizontal scroll bar necessary and are thus not flush with the other tables. And,I figured out why. When I resized my images in Photoshop, I set the width of each thumbnail to 177 px. I also have 30 px padding on both the left and the right side of each cell (60 px total). So, calculating this we have: (177 px x 5 images across = 885 px) + (60 px padding x 5 cells across = 300 px) = 1185 px....an EXACT amount (which is MORE than my screen width) and OVERRIDES the 100% I set for the table. Therein lies the problem.
So, what I need to figure out is how to make either the cells or images adjust accordingly to fit the actual width of the monitor; 5 cells across = 20% each cell = 100% grand total across.
Follow me so far?
I know there has to be a way. I've seen other pages that can do it. I will keep trying and eventually figure it out.
Thanks for the help.
From http://www.awdsf.com/courseware/html/html2_tables.htm:
" A website that requires side scrolling is considered very un-professional."
And I couldn't agree more with this statement.

I have a macbook pro using version 10.7.4 and I can't print multiple size pages in a pdf file using the brother laser printer hl-5470 dwt

I have a Macbook Pro using the 10.7.4 version. I recently bought a Brother HL-5470DWT Laser Printer. I can't seem to tell the printer to print multiple size pages in my pdf files.
No matter what I do it still prints all the documents as 8.5x11! It isn't pulling the paper from both printer trays.
Please Please help me out....

PDF Image will not fill up entire custom size page

Fellow Forum Members,
I'm using Acrobat 6 and SnagIt 8. My screen captures with SnagIt are being saved in PDF format. But for some reason I can't figure out, the capture image is not filling up the entire 8" x 6" PDF custom size page. I keep on getting 1.5" Right and Bottom margins no matter what setting I use in Distiller or in SnagIt. It's like the image is refusing to resize itself to fill up the page.
Does anyone out there know of a way to screen capture an image at a 8" X 6" size and have it totally fill up a 8" X 6" PDF page? Is there a screen capture app that doesn't have this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you use Acrobat's built-in functionality of creating a new PDF from the clipboard it fills the entire page.

Acrobat vs Livecyle - which is better for making accessible PDF's

I am having a very hard time making my PDF accessible. The source program I use to create my document is InDesign 5.5. I convert to PDF and am attempting to tag it using Acrobat X. I tried tagging my form using the articles panel in InDesign but it doesnt convert to PDF properly (which i learned at this forum is a system glitch). Someone at work suggesting using LiveCycle but I am not familiar with LiveCycle at all. I thougt it was an add-on extension to Acrobat so I'm confused why someone would tell me to use LiveCycle instead of Acrobat X. Can someone please clarify for me what the diff is between Acrobat and Livecyle. I need to make my document accessible by the end of the week and having a lot of problems doing it but i want to make sure that Acrobat is the best adobe product to use before going any further.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Hi miss forms,
I'm out of the country just now and "on-line" time is occasional. However, here are some observations for your consideration.
All this may sound daunting. It is not (honest). Think of it as becoming a competent cook.
Some study. Some practice then it is Rachael Ray time.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a short take:
Use InD CS 5.5 to master the underlying "form text".
Master content with accessible PDF in mind.
Example - if any "headings" are to be used then use InD built-in paragraph tags.
Output the tagged PDF.
Walk the structure tree. Perform requisite post-processing activities.
Goal is to acquire that well-formed tagged PDF.
Next, build the form fields.
Properly fold these into the structure tree.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Observations:
"... but i want to make sure that Acrobat is the best adobe product to use before going any further."
Currently and for the foreseeable future - if you must provide accessible PDF as a deliverable you must have Acrobat Pro.
You want the most current version and you want to keep it updated.
Currently there is no such thing as an accessible PDF that does not require post-processing by a knowledgeable "warm-body".
As the 'warm-body' you perform the essential V&V prior to release of the deliverable.
While there are tools to help with they still do not replace the 'warm-body'.
"I need to make my document accessible by the end of the week ..."
This could be problematic. Unless you are all ready well versed in what a well-formed tagged PDF is and how to stage it in the authoring file I suspect that you won't have a proper deliverable by 30 November.
Using InD CS 5.5 is 'good' but it is not (as you've discovered) adequately robust for well-formed tagged PDF output compared to the current release.
The output PDF needs manual remediation (only possible with Acrobat Pro).
As to any current authoring application used -
Whatever is used it needs to provide robust "tag management".
Currently the first string consists of:
Adobe FrameMaker,
Adobe InDesign,
(n.b., Adobe has invested significant resources in improving mastering content for accessible PDF and output of tagged PDF InDesign versions released since CS5.5. So, if InD is your requisite authoring application I'd recommend you move into the current release.)
MS Word 2010.
When using MS Word 2010 one can use the MS Save As PDF - XPS configured to provide accessible PDF or use
PDFMaker.
For Word 2010 you'd need at least Acrobat X in order to have a compatible PDFMaker.
Some other applications are also providing for authoring / tagged PDF output (such as Open Office).
Regardless of the authoring application used Acrobat Pro is still need for requisite post-processing (structure tree V&V, cleanup, etc).
What form "type" to use?
I'd recommend Acrobat forms rather than XFA forms.
Accessible XFA forms are possible.
But, As George said - a non-trivial learning curve for the basics. Then comes the learning / practice to develop the accessible XFA form.
If you go with XFA I suggest obtaining the XFA spec that Adobe provides.
Considering the improvements Adobe has made in Acrobat XI for Acrobat forms I'd recommend you use that.
However, if you have an older version you can still get there from here (using Acrobat Pro).
"Tools" considerations:
Common Look PDF - An enterprise level tool.
A plug-in for Acrobat.
Common Look Office Pro
(Pro supports PDF forms (Acrobat forms - not XFA forms)
An add-in / plug-in for MS Office 2007/2010.
Used with Power Point or Word.
Provides check points on mastered content. You resolve identified issues then use it to output a tagged PDF.

Do I really need to name the file when making a PDF?

When I use Export for making a PDF, the name of my open InDesign file is not automatically offered as the name of the PDF.
Does anyone know if I change this? My filenames are long and very precise, and any typo would be bad.
Thanks.

That's what I thought I would do when I noticed the PDF creation was not using the InDesign file name, but I can't because since I am making a PDF, only PDFs are shown in my source folder. All other file types are filtered out.
I've never seen this behavior before - I gotta be missing some PDF creation setting somewhere, but I can't find one.
I'm suppose I will have to copy a filename to Notepad and paste it in the export window. (Doesn't that seem a little lame though?)

When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small. Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books. I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened. Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto. Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

How can you find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas

This is probably a really really simple question but I can't for the life of me find how I can find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas. eg I have 3 photos i want to arrange 1 large and the other two next to it half the size. How can I edit individual image size on the canvas as when I select the image on a sperate layer I want to resize it just resizes the entire canvas and not the individual image
Thanks

I want to know they exact dimensions though. You can get them by dragging to the 0,0 corner and then reading off of the ruler scale on the sides but its fiddily as you have to zoom right in and work it out. I know in photoshop there is a ruler but is there any other way in Elements?

Internal error when making a pdf of a book in FM8

Hello,
I'm currently learning to work with Framemaker 8.
When i wanted to pdf the book that i created, i get the following error message:
Internal error8004, 6343116, 8483344, 0. Framemaker has detected a serious problem and must quit.
A file named .........txt has been generated which contains information that may help frame development improve the product for future releases.
When i press the ok button of this error message, i get a second dialog box saying: The instruction at "0x00c91940" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
After pressing the OK button of this dialog box, Framemaker shuts down completely.
I searched the internet for a solution but could not realy find one. I have tried to make a pdf via the safe as pdf and via print to pdf, but with both i have encountered the same problem.
Anyone has an idea how to solve this error?
The strange thing is that my colleague is able to make a pdf out of this book without encountering any problems and that we are using the same settings.
Thank you very much.
Bjorn

Bjorn, usually one post is sufficient... three is overkill.
The next time you post, please confirm that you have a fully patched version of FM 8 -- the third patch was just released this week. It would be useful to know if you're using the bundled version of Acrobat Distiller or a complete version of Acrobat. How much RAM do you have installed, and what operating system are you running?
# That said, a couple things to try and a couple questions: Make sure that you have lots of free space on your hard drive for temp files created during the process.
# Can you print the book's individual component files to the PDF printer?
# Open all the component files in the book before trying to print to the PDF printer.
# Do you have any graphic files that were copied into the files? Not imported by reference?
# In your preferences, is Generate Tagged PDF On or Off? Toggling it sometimes makes a difference.
Cheers,
Art

How to Change the defalut file name of PDF out of report (Version 6i)

Dear All
I have a report which opens from forms(Version 6i); the output of the report is in PDF. The generated file name is the same name as the report. Is there any way to give parameter name of the report as the name of the PDF out put of the report?
For example I have a parameter called PATIENT_ID and my value is 25613 now I need the PDF out put name also 25613.
Thanks and regards
Sijo

Use DESNAME to specify the output filename:
set_report_object_property(repid, REPORT_DESNAME, :patient_id);

How to create a PDF that prints at actual size for all printers

I create printable educational products for teachers and homeschoolers. I need to be able to make some printable PDFs that have cards set to a specific dimension, say 3" x 3". When I create PDFs in InDesign and print them, the printer tends to shrink the PDF down. This happens even when I set the Page Scaling to None. But regardless of what my printer does, I would like to be able to create PDFs that print at actual size for anyone who purchases my products. How can this be done? Can I change the settings when I create the PDF? Do I need to includes special instructions with my products? Thanks so much for your help.

You can specify the printing process in the PDF for Acrobat and Reader, open the PDF in Acrobat > file properties (right mouse click on the page) and in the extended tab (the most right tab) you can set printing not to scale for that PDF as default setting.
