  • How Do I Avoid Losing Formatting When Pages documents Are Converted to PDF Files and Emailed?

    I put together a presentation piece with Pages, converted its 19 pages to pdf files, emailed the folder of pdf files to Staples for duplication, collation, and binding, and was disappointed to see some of my graphic frame formatting lost. 
    Can anyone please tell me how to avoid the loss in the future?  'Sure would appreciate it. 
    I was "raised" on Microsoft Publisher, then worked with Adobe Elements before switching to Mac.  For the most-part, I find Mac OSX 10.7.5 a joy to use, but it takes me quite a while to figure out how to bridge differences between PC and Mac applications.   Even though Mac applications tend to be straight forward, I loften find myself shaking my head and wondering how I could have been stumped so long by a little thing such as instant alpha.  I don't want to chalk up this difficulty in adapting  to old age, but could! (--Which translates:  Please be easy on the old lady!)  Thanking you in advance for such assistance as you might provide ...

    Upgrade to Mountain Lion OSX 10.8, much better than Lion.
    I take it you are talking about Pages '09?
    Your problem is probably with anything that has transparency eg fancy frames, 3D charts, shadows, reflections because Pages exports all these to too low 72dpi resolution in .pdfs.
    Prepping files for commercial print is always a concern and you need at least some Pro skills, but Apple has made life even harder with key missing settings and inferior presets.
    The subject of preparing for print is rather broad and detailed.

  • How do I combine already pdf files in pack?

    How do I combine 2 pdf files in adobe pack?

    So, if you have a PDF pack account, make sure to log in.
    Online, you would go to https://cloud.acrobat.com/combinepdf, by clicking on the "Combine Files" tab.
    Next, click the large blue button that says, "Select Files to Combine."
    Wait for the shadow-box window to appear, and select the PDF files you want to combine, either by selecting them in your computer's filesystem, from the pop-up window, or by dragging the files into the shadow-box.
    Alternatively, you may switch to Acrobat.com files, and upload any files that you have stored there.
    Click on the blue button stating continue.
    Enter a name in the box with light gray text stating "Enter combined PDF file name"
    When done, press combine.
    You should see a light grey status box in the top right stating the status of the combining, and when finished, you will see the file appear in the section toward the bottom half of your browser stating "Combined Files" - it should be the document to the furthest left-side. (If your lucky, it is already there.)
    Hopefully, this will help you!

  • Problem with text frame dropshadow not completely printing to pdf file.

    Hi and thanks for your speedy replies!
    I am editing a file that had altered corner text frames with a .25 inset and a drop shadow added, .05 stroke and paper swatch. When I deleted text everything shifted so I had to recreate the special frames on select pages. These new text frames are not showing the top and left sides of the frames when saved to pdf file. The right and bottom drop shadow are showing.  What am I missing?
    Cheers!

    I am using the latest version in CC. I tried several exports directly from ID, PDF/X-3:2002, PDF/X-1a:2001 and the low res setting, all with no changes.  None showed the left or top border on the frames in question.
    So I was getting the first screen shot instead of the second which other similarly formatted frames showed.  I checked every setting I could find and they were all the same.  The problem just occurred after the point in the doc that I had made changes resulting in some pages being deleted and the page formatting being thrown off which I corrected with the appropriate saved page formats.  But when I went to set up the frame dropshadow and accompanying stroke and swatches, the outline just would not show in the pdf although it appeared to be showing in ID.
    I've since discovered a work around for the editing so no pages were deleted, but I need to figure out why this happened and what I am not seeing. Perhaps a setting to show the border? Or maybe it is some overall setting that I need to be looking for? Just weird, weird, weird...

  • I've exported my pages graphics document as a PDF file and can't seem to reduce the file size without compromising the quality of the photo's used even after choosing "best" quality.  I'm trying to send the file via e-mail but it's too big.  ??????

    I am trying to e-mail a graphics pages document I made as a PDF file.  After trying to resize the file, the photo's quality is compromised (really blurry) even after choosing "Best" quality.  What am I doing wrong.  As a regular full sized file (PDF) it's fine, but when it gets reduced, it's bad and it needs to get printed from the e-mail copy I'm trying to send.  HELP! Please.

    If there are a lot and/or large images the file will inevitably be large, no matter what.
    You can reduce them down as far as possible by cropping and scaling them to the final size before creating the pdf. You can do this by opening the images in Preview .app and using Menu > Tools to reduce the resolution and to crop.
    If you have used transparency effects eg shadow, reflection, transparency, 3D charts, OSX will by default render these at 72dpi in the pdf.

  • Why can I not print PDF files in color?

    Windows 7 Ultimate (x64
    Adobe Reader 10.0.11
    HP Color LaserJet CP1215
    I downloaded U.S.IRS tax Form 1040 for 2014 from Forms and Publications (PDF).  All the text is black. Much of the form has a pale green background that does not extend to the edge of the page.  There are fill-in areas that have a pale purple background.  At least that is the way the form appears when I view it on my PC. 
    When I try to print the form in color, however, all the text is white except for the word "Form" in the upper-left corner.  The green background prints as solid black.  The fill-in areas are white, which makes the white text invisible.  (When I print merely in black-and-white, the text is black, the green background is a very light gray shadow, and the fill-in areas are white.  Thus, the form looks okay.) 
    Also, if I attempt to print a PDF file that contains color images, the images print strangely.    Images are stretched horizontally and then cut off at right edge of the actual image box.  Furthermore, text is white against a background of alternating, narrow, vertical, black and white stripes.  An example is page 8 of the AVG 2015 User Manual from http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/doc/AVG_Free/avg_free_uma_en_2015_15.pdf.  (Again, printing this in black-and-white, the text is black, the background is white, and the image appears as an appropriate black-and-white approximation of the actual image.) 

    Do you have Acrobat installed? Can you open it and load a PDF? If so, select print and select the desired printer. If this does not work, then tell us the error message you get. It would help to know the OS and version of Acrobat. Air is a separate product (and I still don't know what it does, sorry).

  • Acrobat 4.0 possible patch to handle newer .pdf files?

    I am currently at a small printing company that uses a Heidelberg Prosetter and interconnected software programs for platemaking in our pre-press department. We currently have an outdated Heidelberg meta dimension system that I was told will only handle Acrobat version 4.0 files. I get errors when a newer .pdf version is sent to me from my customers. So far I have found work arounds such as saving the .pdf file down to a compatible file, but am running out of options, and the newest version 9.0 files are really giving me a headache. Saving the file down doesn't seem to help. Is there a possible patch I can find to allow version 4.0 to handle the newest files? Heidelberg has told me that if we were to upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat we would need to upgrade the rest of our software (PitStop Server, Meta Dimension, SignaStation) since they all work together to burn plates and that would cost us upwards of $25,000. Being a small company we can not afford this and the owners have basically told me to work with what I have. Can anyone help me?

    I still keep having some issues with transparent objects and drop shadows with a spot colors. I just spoke to our Heidelberg rep and he mentioned that they even had to update their software to handle the 9.0, and are now recommending that customers upgrade to the newest version of Meta Dimension (which is very costly I might Ad!). I think I am just stuck between a rock and a hard place, and will be there as long as I work here! Not only do I have issues with the transparent objects, I am sometimes getting a flat out will not open error message in EnFocus PittStop which is our pre-flight software. I am going to have to post this on the EnFocus forums and hope that someone might be able to solve that for me. Thanks for the input. I kind of thought that a patch like that was out of the question! There is just no help for poor people like me!

  • Printing issues from InDesign CS4 pdf file

    Good morning,
    Could you help explain and possibly resolve an issue I'm having with an InDesign CS4 pdf file where the text and image drop shadows (40%) are printing as solid black blocked shapes from a large format printer. The file encompasses 1 overall image, 1 image with drop shadow, 3 text frames with drop shadow effect applied to the text and 1 group set of simple rectangular and ellipse objects with a glow.
    My colleagues in graduate school experienced the same with their files and the output bureau's rasterized the pdf file in Photoshop where it printed out with good resolution. Shouldn't this be resolved first in InDesign rather than rasterizing the file?
    I appreciate any help and insight you could offer myself and my colleagues.
    Thank you, Kathryn

    The printing service uses Acrobat 8 Pro and HP large format printer. My InDesign CS4 document is in the color mode of RGB and color type as Process. I saved it as a pdf file using the standard settings as follows: Preset: High Quality Print, Standard: None and Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3). Are there options I should be paying more attention to when creating the PDF file? Also, I was reading up on Peter Spier's response links.
    This brings me to the next question...I'm creating a photo book for grad school with approximately 40 pages of images (RGB, 300dpi) with feathered drop shadows. What would be the best settings to use when exporting as a pdf file for printing services?
    Thank you for your help.

  • InDesign Transparency Effect vs. pdf file size

    I have an Interactive pdf that was created from InDesign. There is  "inner glow" is an effect style created box style. This box style is used a number of times in the 30  page document. The glow is a gradient from black to transparent which looks  like an inner shadow for the boxes (sample attached). When I generate the pdf file, size is about 12 Mgb, too large for the target audience.
    When I alter the style in InDesign to say something simple like a 10%  black solid fill, the pdf file size decreases to about 1 Mgb.
    Looked into "flattening transparency" options but this creates pdf that has none of the interactive buttons and links that are required.
    Really would like to avoid creating these boxes in photoshop since there are about 40 different sizes of the box.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    For some reason I can't find reply on Forums site, so replying to this

  • Using PDF files for items rather than .png.

    Hi there
    We have been looking into improving iBook production. We have a few books that feature elements that are comprise of a background image with text over the top. As the text isn't in an iPad-friendly font (I.e. not in iOS) and it doesn't have to be searchable. Previously, the items have been produced individually either in Illustrator or Photoshop. The main 'problem' with this is the plethora of file it creates, and the huge amount to time taken to apply style changes across all the separate items, save, re-import into iBA, and re-apply all the iBA-specific attributes.
    In an effort to speed up production somewhat, we have been trying to create these items in InDesign, using style sheets etc to give standardised appearance across all the items, and then drag and drop into iBA. The advantage is that all the separate items are in one document, and all style changes can be instantly applied to all items instantaneously, saving time, space, and effort.
    It places them as PDFs, and after unzipping the .iba file, the PDFs look fine, with pin-sharp text (as you'd expect, as PDF text would be vector data. Similarly, when you zoom in to the items in iBA, the text is still pin-sharp.
    However, once the iBA is previewed on a iPad, the text goes a little blurry. As one of the fonts is a dot-matrix-type font, the effect is noticeable - all the dots blur together into a line.
    Does anyone have any idea as to what is happening to the PDF between iBA and the iPad? Does it rasterise it at some point?

    Hi Ken
    'What leads me think it would?', well the fact that it worked, and looks ok. The iBook previews fine and works fine on the iPad.
    We initially came up with the idea when we 'unzipped' an .iba file (you know, changing the .iba extension to .zip, then unarchiving the contents), and found that iBA itself had created .pdf files for the full-screen photos which appeared rotated and shadowed on the iPad page, but were viewed as straight, unshadowed, images. (the rotated version was the iBA-created PDF file, the full-screen was the original .jpg we pulled into iBA). Naturally, we were surprised. So we started mucking about, and found that drag/drop from ID worked, and looked OK.
    As an update to my original post, it appears that the difference in quality was due to the fonts used. Once we opened the .PDFs within the .iba file, we converted the text to outlines, resaved the .pdfs, changed the unzipped folder back to an .iba file, and the font now looks great.
    BTW, Is it me, or were you being snippy?

  • Is there a way to reduce the size of my PDF file, created (or I should say, Exported) in InDesign.

    I created a 10-page sale flyer in InDesign CS5 which will be viewed on our website. When I export it as a PDF file, even with the compression at "minimum", the size is still 3.8 MB.
    Is there a way to reduce the size of the PDF file? with InDesign or another tool out there?
    Thanks for your help!

    Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
    Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

  • The pdf font quality changes if another pdf file is open, for pdfs generated by Latex Beamer

    Hi There,
    I create pdf presentation files using Latex Beamer. I see a strange behavior when I open the file with Adobe reader to read it. If another pdf file is already open, the quality of the font is good but the shadow of the boxes disappears. If no other pdf file is open, the shadow box is good but the font has a low quality.
    Does anyone know about this problem?
    Thanks
    Kaveh

    Kaveh,
    I am having a similar issue with PDFs i create from Photoshop and added links in Acrobat.  The quality of the text was changing on me and I hadnt realized it was when I had more than one PDF open.
    Please let em know if you come to any resolution on this.
    Thanks,
    Jamie

  • Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?

    Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?
    Hi,
    I have 2 pages in all in a .PSE file.
    When I try to export it as .PDF, the quality is very poor. I cannot change it to a better quality.
    Please advise how I can export the file so that i can have better quality.

  • Editing Image From PDF File To Use in AI Document

    Hello,
    I am a beginner user of AI and am having trouble with editing certain images from PDF files on Illustrator. I'm not even sure what I'm trying to do can be done on Illustrator or requires Photoshop.
    A) Here is the first example (Note that this is only similar to the type of image I am talking about. It is not the exact one as I don't have access to it right now):
    So let's say here are the things I want to do. (1) Extract it from the PDF file, (2) transfer it to my AI document without blurriness, (3) change the white background of the image to another color (eg. grey), (4) and embolden the lines presently in the image. If you can advise what's the way to perform these tasks?
    I have used image trace at times but if the photo is too light, portions of it will vanish. The portions that do remain become way too bold. It would be great if there was a way I could make most if not each components of the image controllable/movable. Is it possible?
    Also, what if I want to erase some of the text on the image? I have tried using the eraser tool but it does not erase on images.
    B) How would I go about removing the background of a photo like this and replacing it with a color?
    Please keep in mind that I am a complete neophyte when it comes to using Illustrator, Photoshop etc so take this into consideration when explaining. Thanks in advance

    Trent,
    To make a clear and clean drawing like A), it is better to use the image as a locked template and recreate with the native tools; most things can be made with the Rectangle Tool and the Ellipse Tool, some with the Line Segment Tool or the Pen Tool; and you can use different Window>Pathfider operations.
    It is probably easier to get rid of the surroundings in B) using Photoshop where you can erase colours within a range; the grass seen through the windows may be treated by itself, and you may wish to keep the shadow.

  • Pdf files on iPad

    Hi all,
    I wonder if there's a way to import pdf files into an iPad and then opened it. The reason I am asking this is that I have thousands of pdf files (books, articles, etc.) which I would like to read on a portable device like the iPad. But as I browsed through the iPad specifics I did not find any mention of the "Preview" application or some type of pdf reader. Any thoughts on that would be most appreciated.
    Regards.

    I was under the impression you could import them into pages but what you actually do is export PDFs using http://www.epub2go.com/Web/default.aspx and turn them into EPUB which would then be dragged into the books section and you could see them in iBooks.
    Great news. I have been using Pages for base editing and then using a secondary application turn the content into Styled HTML/XML files for conversion to chapter/metadata annotated EPUB files. Will have to test this work flow out as soon as I can find the time. Was disappointed with Calibre PDF conversions and "layout" EPUB authoring applications.
    Several developers are working on creating apps that would do the PDF to EPUB automatically.
    Like many, I am hoping that Apple will eventually add an option to Pages that could target the word processor layer for direct export as EPUB with properly functioning annotations.
    You'd get the full functionality of any other book in iBooks with your PDF. It's a little time consuming but it's a workaround.
    Not as time consuming as my current work flows. My problem is that Pages is a very easy to use app for the creation and design of non-professional but still nice looking electronic media. Unfortunately, its PDF export doesn't annotate files properly (i.e., even well enough to match Preview's, Adobe's, Sony's, or various other software/firmware reader capabilities) requiring the use of other applications and work flows to make up for these deficiencies. Same is true for my EPUB but requiring a third application in the work flow.
    Let me know if you want any more information on it.
    I, for one, would be interested to know if the site you referenced processes images or is text only? Are there any know issues with any of Pages "special" features such as shadows, frames, borders, "group" content, justifications, etc? How about PDF annotations? If pre-entered in the PDF file before conversion, will they carry over to the EPUB file? While I will really want to check most of these things out for myself, any "heads-up" information would be greatly appreciated at this time. I really like the way the iBooks reader works. Things like the display of pages remaining in the current chapter just don't seem to be found in many other such reader apps and in one night I've come to depend on them when making a decisions as to how much more to read before closing the book, turning of the lights and going to sleep.
    Thanks agin for the info already provided...
