PDF from (old) Fireworks

Hi,
I have Fireworks MX 2004 and I have created a page I need to
have as a PDF for distribution - as you will gather I am not very
good with this stuff...
The file was made a while ago (hence the old version of
firewosks), I now have Adobe Design Premium CS3 but that doesn't
give me a newer version of Fireworks.
The document is 993 by 1403 pix with a resolution of 120
pix/inch and I need to export it as a PDF.
I have Acrobat 8 Proffesional and I have tried exporting the
file from fireworks in a number of formats and then creating a PDF
in Acrobat. JPEG gives me the best look outcome but the quality is
not perfect.
My question is; how can I get a perfect quality PDF from this
file? Should I open it or export it to one of the programs in
Design Premium CS3 - Photoshop? Or is there a better way?
Many Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately, a "perfect quality" PDF from a bitmap at 120
pixels/inch is probably not possible, though it definitely will not
look as soft and blurry as a 72 pixels/inch bitmap would!
If your original Fireworks file is not just a bitmap but is
instead composed of vectors, you could increase the pixels/inch of
the document to 150 (for marginal improvements) or 300 and export a
new PNG 24 image. (Unfortunately I don't have a copy of MX 2004
here, but in CS3 and CS4 you should make sure that no objects are
selected on the canvas, then click the "Image Size" button in the
Property Inspector, and change the resolution value to 150 or 300
pixels/inch. The vector objects will maintain their relative
proportions and positoin, the bitmap objects (if any) will be
upsampled and made larger, and the canvas size will increase. Now
export the image and try converting that to a PDF for hopefully
better quality.)

How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?

(Well, it seems my title got truncated; originally it read: How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?)
I've recently gotten an iPad Air to replace my previous iPad 2. I have a bunch of books and PDFs in iBooks on the old iPad, and want to transfer them to the new iPad.
A search of Apple Support informs me that anything I've purchased from iBooks can be downloaded at any time to any of my devices (works like Amazon's Kindle system, apparently), but nearly all the content I have in iBooks on the iPad I've downloaded from other sources, so it won't be in my iBooks Store account (I might have bought one book there).
I've also seen several instructions on how to copy all my data from the old iPad to the new via Backup & Restore, but that seems to require restoring the new iPad to factory setup, which would delete everything I have on it now – including a bunch more books I've gotten since I started using the new iPad. And I don't want to copy everything, only the books/PDFs (the new iPad has everything I want, except for the books).
Since there seems to be no way to transfer files directly from one iPad to the other, it seems it must be done via iTunes on my MacBook Pro (and I want to copy all the books/PDFs to the computer anyway). So I connected the iPad 2 to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) and opened iTunes (11.3.1). Then clicked on the iPad's name in the sidebar to the left, and on Books below it. I see a list of the books on the iPad. I check the little boxes by all their names to select them (not sure if that's necessary, but it seems like a good idea), then click on the Sync button at the lower right, to the right of the bar at the bottom of the window with colored bands showing memory usage on the iPad. A message appears saying "The app 'iBooks' was not installed on the iPad '[name]' because the app could not be found."
But iBooks is already on the iPad; I have it open and see the list of books in it, which matches the list shown in iTunes. The message has a "More Information" button; I click that and it opens an Apple Support article titled "iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open": "Learn what to do if you see one of these issues with an app you downloaded from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: The app unexpectedly quits; The app stops responding; You can’t open the app." But none of these apply; the iBooks app is on the iPad, and works fine there.
The article suggests: (1) Restart the App. I've done that, no help. (2) Restart your device. Done that, no help. (3) Update your device software and your apps. The iPad is running iOS 6.1.3, iBooks 3.1.3; not the latest versions, no, but I'd rather not update it to newer, bigger, more power-hungry versions if I don't have to. Is it that iTunes 11 doesn't work with iOS 6? I haven't seen this stated anywhere.
So instead I click the OK button on the message, but nothing further happens, so far as I can tell: None of the books/PDFs on the iPad (about 380MB) appear in iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
I click on "Books" in the row of words across the top of the iTunes window, and it shows me the single PDF presently in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I click the box by "Sync Books", and a message appears: "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" Well, no, that's exactly what I DON'T want to do. I don't want to erase the 380MB of books and PDFs on the iPad and replace them with the single PDF now in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I want to copy the books from the iPad 2 to iTunes, so I can copy them back to the new iPad Air (if, God willing, I can figure out how to do that without erasing the books now on the iPad Air).
I've been working with Macintosh computers for over 26 years. It's always been a fairly simple process to copy files from one computer to another. I don't want to "sync" all the data (address book, email, God knows what else) on the iPad with the corresponding information on the MacBook Pro – especially if that will erase everything on the iPad (which has information not on the MacBook Pro, e.g. 380MB of books). I just want to copy the books and PDFs in iBooks from the old iPad to the MacBook Pro, then to the new iPad, adding them to the books on the new iPad, so I don't lose anything.
Can anybody give me a clue?

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

Searchable pdfs from old pdfs?

I've got about 15 years of pdfs from technical journals, etc. scattered in a number of directories (technology changes, and new categories emerge, etc.). Rather than attempt to sort, etc., I'd like to dump them into one storage directory and let search tools find what I need. To do that, I need all these old pdfs to be searchable. I have a scanner that will do OCR, but I have a real issue with wasting the paper to print them all, only to scan them back in.
Is there a software solution to this? I'm running Lion OS.

Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

Hey ilyaz20360341,
Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
Hope to get your response.

Anubha

Remove "old" PDFs from iTunes: iBook Duplicates

Hi everyone,
I did my researcher and tinkered with it, but I can't find out how to fix this. I guess now PDFs sync through iTunes from iBooks to iOS devices. Well, I had several PDFs from the pre-Mavericks era in iTunes ("iTunes Media" >"Books" folder).
Well I imported my PDFs into iBooks so that I could start adding new and managing them, but now all my devices have duplicates showing in iTunes (in the books tab when I select a device) and it tries to sync the old and new. I deleted the Books folder from iTunes Media, but it still attempts to sync those books and I get an error "can find file" when I sync, but most annoying of all is that on the books tab there is duplicates of all the PDFs that [I]were[I] in the old "books" folder and now in iBooks.
How can I get iTunes to delete and "forget" the old PDFs without restoring my device?

Hey Jac151,
I also had the same problem...and heres the only solution I found. Take a look at this website: http://thetechgears.com/how-to-completely-reset-itunes-11-playlist-and-library-a nd-start-fresh/
It will reset your itunes library, and you will have to scan for media files to import all your stuff again (songs & movies). For mobile apps, your need to go to icloud to download them again. Its a huge long process, but it was the only way that would reset the way it viewed my pdfs in iBooks. Good luck!

How to create a 4 page pdf from images - each page should open at same size

How do I create a 4 page pdf (from 4 images - all the same size) that opens each page at full page size?
Thank you so much.
Ginger
PREVIOUS MSG:
My goal is to create multi page pdfs that are created from images (scans of old brochures). I receive images (scans of pages) all at the same size.
I have been able to create the 4 pdfs (each opens at full page size) and merge into 1 pdf. When I open that final pdf, I see a column of 4 pages, page 1 image being larger than the remaining 3. When I click on the left, page 1, icon, I get the full page. When I click on icons for pages 2 - 4, I get nothing. The only way I can get the other pages in a full page view is to adjust the scaling after left icon is selected. That is not what I want.
How I created the files.
I can either create pdf pages using Photoshop, or using Acrobat Pro itself through:
File> Create PDF> From File and adding each of the images. I then, for each, choose Properties> Initial View> Fit Page> Save. Then I use File> Combine> Merge Files into Single PDF> Save.
Then I open the multi page pdf.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Ginger

It seems to me what you want to do is create one document which a combination of all four and then one page of each.
To create a Document with 4 pages combined in to one PDF. open the first in a Series the to Edit menu and click on add pages click on next document (browse to document first) the choose attach to to end of document or add to end of document. Repeat until you get all images added. They will end up (or should ) center in center of their own page. Save this document with a new name for now.
Next go back to Photo shop and reduce size of images to fit desired sheet of paper (8-1/2 by 11, 8-1/2 by 14, whatever) place them side by side and row by row so you have 4 images on one page.
now save as Pdf.
now decide which you want to swap to the Thumbnails (the 4 on one page, or 4 individual pages. I would use the thumbnails and make each a button that references the page in the document you save as a 4 page pdf that applies.
Then on that page write a line saying click each illustration to see full size image (you might have to write this line while in Photoshop) then save this as PDF file
Try out. You might have to use some javascript controls to do this. But I am not experienced in JavaScript to do this. I'm sure it cane be done.
But note you will have to save both documents with the Thumbnails and the four page and Thumbnail page in a folder and send to prospect
If you want just four separate pages in one Pdf just do first two paragraphs above

Since downloading the iOS on my iPad, I cannot download more than one pdf from mail to iBooks. I have to shut down y iPad and start again. Any suggestions?

Since downloading iOS on my new iPad, I cannot downlaod more than one pdf from mail into iBooks. I have to shut down my iPad and restart it to save a second pdf. Wasn't a problem with the old operating system. Any suggestions?

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

How can I change the file version for scanned PDFs to 1.4 when using the "PDF from Scanner" feature from Acrobat XI? By default it's always saved as 1.5.

Because our IT system can only handle PDFs with versions up to 1.4, we need to "PDF from scanner" feature to store the scanned PDFs in version 1.4.
Acrobat 9 always saved it in 1.4, but starting with Acrobat X, the PDFs are saved in 1.5.
There must be a setting or configuration somewhere where I can change this.
I already tried modifying the distiller's standard joboptions, but that did not work.
Thanks for any help

We use in our software an open-source pdf library that only supports pdf versions up to 1.4. I know it is old, but it's not that simple to exchange it.
But I just had a look into the Actions as you suggested. This way I get it to work. It costs one additional click, so that's acceptable.
Thanks for the support.

Unable to mark the box 'create Multi-page PDF from page tiles' when saving to pdf-file

I am running Illustrator CS3 on a Mac OSX 10.5.8
I want to print a very large illustrator-file (1000 mm x 900 mm) across mutliple pages of A4-paper (5 x 5 sheets of A4-paper) by saving the file as a multi-page pdf file.
I first followed the instructions provided here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-mutli-page-pdf-illustrator.html
When I then tried to save the file: -> File -> Save as -> 'choose .pdf from drop-down menu'
I get to this menu:
I am unable to mark the box that says: 'Create multi-page pdf from page tiles'. I have made a red arrow pointing to the box I want to mark.
I have tried changing the other drop-down menus inside this menu, to see if the box I want to mark could become available, but without any luck.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I would be grateful if anyone could help me set my settings right to allow me to create such a multi-page pdf-file.
Thanks in advance for your help

Your ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned.

Acrobat 7.0 Pro on Vista freezes when PDF from Multiple

I try to create a PDF from multiple files and Acrobat just sits there looking stupid. I've checked for updates - Fully updated. It's from my CS2 Premium Professional edition. I have it installed on a Dell e1705 with Vista Home. Dual Processor, but still a 32 bit system. 2GB of ram and a 256 memory card.
I look at the Task manager and the program is using about 22mb of memory. After I select the create PDF form multiple files the program stops like it is about to do something. Vista doesn't register the program as not responding so it's doing something. The CPU usage is at about 50% and stays that way for at least 15 minutes. I just got tired of waiting and closed it in the task manager.
How do I fix this?

It is interesting that you say it is an Adobe bug (or at least that is the implication I got). Part of the problem with VISTA has been that there are a lot of programs that do not work. That is also why many businesses and individuals are still using XP and refused to upgrade. VISTA has a service pack out, but I hear it still has lots of problem. MS has fixed VISTA where there own software was concerned, such as putting the help system back in that they had removed. I am not trying to say that VISTA is not the way to go, but that the blame for things not working should not be put on other software developers.
The $1500 must be for CS, since an upgrade to AA8 from AA7 is only $159. In today's market, AA7 is actually an old man with AA8 being out for quite a while. Six months ago you could still get XP Pro for about $190. I understand it is now almost $800, but I really don't track the prices. I am getting a new machine with VISTA on it in a week or two and plan to look at it a bit (called give it a chance). However, I fully expect to remove VISTA and install XP Pro. To me, that cost is a lot better than upgrading all of my software because of the changes in Windows.
So which system has the bug, Adobe or VISTA. I think you will find a lot of folks who say it is VISTA (that is not to say that Adobe doesn't have some issues also). Hope you get your system working satisfactorily.

PDF from Word doesn't capture entire page

I've created many a PDF from Word documents, but today I'm puzzled. I've created a one-page flyer in standard letter size (8.5 x 11"). I've set all margins - including header and footer - to zero, and placed a top and bottom of page border right at the top and bottom edges. Everything looks fine in Word, but when I convert the document to PDF, approximately a quarter-inch is missing from the left and right sides, and a full half-inch is missing from the bottom.
I've checked Page Setup to make sure of paper size, etc. but don't know what else to check.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

D'OH!
BD, has anyone ever held a parade in your honor?
It took me about three hours to conceive and do the layout for this flyer. Then another 5 hours trying to get it to convert properly into a PDF. When it didn't convert correctly from Word, I fired up Classic, launched an old version of Quark XPress and recomposed the flyer. But when I tried to export it to PDF, Acrobat Distiller (remember that?) just sat and spun its wheels. It did spit out a Postscript file, but it wouldn't actually make the PDF for some reason. Never even generated an error. Then, I accidentally double-clicked the Postscript file, and Preview launched as said it was making a PDF. I was a happy camper... until I discovered that this PDF was cut off on both the top and bottom.
Then I checked my email and found you had answered my cry for help (yet again).
When I followed your instructions (which I did try to find on my own before posting my plea), the PDF came out perfectly on the first try.
My thanks to you for what must be by now the 85th time.

Editable, Savable and Email-able PDFs from Reader!

Hello all,
so today I got an PDF from a web design firm. It contains a questionnaire with combo boxes and input forms. I was really surprised to find that, within Adobe Reader I can edit and save this PDF locally.
Further, another nice feature is that you can email an XML document of the form data (not the PDF itself). When you click the email button, the following is pasted into the body of the email:
The attached file contains data that was entered into a
form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally
with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data
by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several
data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details.
Maybe its old news here but I never knew that was possible through Reader! How can you make a document so its ready for editing, saving and emailing like this? Does someone has a tutorial on this please? Can the 'source' be read from the PDF?
Any advice / suggestions?
Thanks!
Marv

Not much of a tutorial needed. You create your form then you specially enable it in Acorbat Pro or better. The option is found under the "advanced" menu.
It's sort of old news. It's only been around the last two versions.
If you decide to use forms that are enabled like this, keep in mind that there are strict limitations on how many times they can be used. You can find those limitations in section 15 of the license agreement (There's a subsection in there. I think it's 15.12 but am not positive.)
