PDF import into QuarkXpress

Has anybody else had a problem importing a PDF file into QuarkXpress on a Mac. For some reason the file dosen't hold onto its fonts or pictures, the characters run into each other, and they just look a mess. I put a copy of QuarkXpress onto a PC and the PDF files import with no problems, they are perfect, which leads me to think that its a MAC OSX problem. I have been suffering this problem for some time now, its like have toothache!!!!! Can anybody help me? Please!!!!!!!!

Why would you believe it's the OS? If the same PDF file looks fine on the Mac in Acrobat, or the Acrobat Reader, then it's clearly Quark that's the problem.

PDF imported into Photoshop is Fuzzy

Im using Photoshop to import a pdf which I want to convert to a tiff... but it is not as crisp as the original PDF
Text etc is blurry/fuzzy
I've tried importing at 300 and 600dpi without luck

Converting the vector content to pixels naturally has some effect, but to judge that could you please post a screenshot of the converted file in Photoshop at View > 100% and of the pdf in Acrobat at a corresponding size?

Pdf imported into InDeisng looks really bad when printed

It´s completly destroyed It. It looks all blocky. Please view it here, as I am crap at explaining. The original document was scanned from a Sharp MXC-311. When scanned from a different (Sharp MXC-5001) machine it looks fine. I think that it is something wrong with the way InDesign handles pdf, any ideas that might help?

You have to realise that a scanned page is just an image. Just because you scan it to a PDF format it doesn't mean that it's a good quality PDF.
All you are doing is scanning an image and then it is wrapped in PDF code to be viewable in Acrobat.
You would have to scan the document at a given resolution to get the right print quality.
Was this a preprinted piece, like a magazine or book? Do you need to descreen the image?

Problem with saving TIFF from PDF in Photoshop and importing into Corel

I work at a publishing company, and some of our designers use CorelDraw X14. We receive most of our advertising material in PDF format, which I then have to convert to TIFF in Photoshop (I use CS4). Most of the time this works fine, but lately, the TIFF files appear ragged and very low resolution (especially the text) once they are imported into Corel. When I re-open the TIFF files in Photoshop they seem fine, as well as viewing them with a picture manager program. Does anyone have any idea why this happens, and if the problem lies with the may I save the TIFF files or the way they are imported into Corel? TIFF files created from Corel don't have the same problem.

I concur with Bart - they are using the preview because someoen ticked a wrong checkbox or enabled a fast preview mode... Should print and export without issues, though.

Cannot import PDF files into iPhoto 4.0.3

Is it possible to import PDF files into iPhoto 4.0.3? I can't drag and drop them into iphoto folders without the "Unreadable Files" error. I have tried importing them through the iPhoto menu and still get the same results. I have tried importing the PDF files from several places such as my desktop because I wondered if the location of the original made a difference, but that doesn't seem to help. I didn't find anything when I searched for this problem here in the forum so I wondered if anyone else is having the same problems.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Morgan

No because I had iPhoto 4 open and tried to run the Save PDF to iPhoto on a book in that library. I think it's just the different data structure, etc.. It's just not compatible with Automator or at least that particular workflow. I tried printing to PDF from V4 and then do the Save to iPhoto from Preview with V4 open and I still get the error message. So iPhoto 4 is just not compatible with that workflow.
A workaround is to create a PDF file of the whole book and then manually save each page as a jpg file and import those. That's what I did for my first book. You could do a screen shot of each page in the preview mode and use those but the resolution will be limited to screen resolution, 72dip. You will get resolutions on the order of 150-200 dpi thru the Save As route in Preview or the Save to iPhoto automator method.
I'm sure you could create an Automator workflow that would take the PDF file and save each page as a jpg file and name it sequentially. I'll have to take a closer look at Automator soon.

How to import a PDF form into FormsCentral

Hi,
Please help me in How to import a PDF form into FormsCentral.
Thanks,
Techvedic

Hi Techvedic,
Import of form in Formscentral depends on how it was created. If you used LiveCycle designer to create the original form then it cannot be imported. However, if the form is created in Acrobat then you can import it by clicking on Import PDF form under Create New form heading.
Note: In the imported form you may edit the position of the submit button, but other design edits to the imported form will need to be made in the tool used to create that form.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other question.
Regards,
~Pranav

Why do pdf's imported into ibooks open in adobe reader?

I imported a PDF file into iBooks, expecting it to behave as the other books in there.
However, when I go to open the book, it is opened in adobe acrobat instead - why is that? I don't see anything in the preferences?
If importing a PDF into iBooks doesn't add the iBooks experience for bookmarks, highlights, etc., what is the purpose? Is it just for organization? That would seem rather less than interesting.
Thanks,
Robert

Hello,
Do all PDFs open in Firefox now? If so then it seems your Default Programs have been changed in Windows.
If you have a PDF file saved on your computer handy:
# Right click on the PDF and Properties
# Under the General tab, beside "Opens with" is probably Firefox, click the button "Change"
# Select Adobe Reader and press "OK"
Alternatively if you cannot find a PDF file saved on your computer:
# Go to Start > Control Panel > Default Programs
# Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program
# Scroll until you find the filetype ".pdf"
# Click the "Change program..." button
# Select Adobe Reader followed by "OK"
Hopefully that fixes it for you.

How to import PDF image into Pages manuscript that is larger than the text bed margins

How do I import a PDF image into a Pages book manuscript, whose dimensions are larger than the global text bed margins? Any imported PDF image is automatically shrunk to fit within the text bed. I know I can set up a single page with wider margins and a text bed within it, but I want the image to import to a page already within the manuscript sequence, where the text bed margins are set and constant.

By default it should be dragging in as a floating image and not part of the text.
What version of Pages are you using?
In Pages 5 this is:
Format > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page > Size > Original size

Importing PDF files into iPhoto

I seem to remember being able to import pdf files into iPhoto; now I am unable to.
When I click on the pdf option in Print, "Save PDF to iPhoto" is one of the options given. If I click it, and try to save pdfs to iPhoto, I get a dialog box asking me to choose which album to import to. Whichever one I choose, I get an Applescript error, "file/private/temp/etc.etc.jpg was not found (-43)" .
If I create a pdf and drag it to iPhoto, I get an "Unreadable files" dialog box telling me "The following file could to be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)"
And if I try to import via File––>Import, the pdfs are all greyed out.
Any suggestions?
Would upgrading the OS to 10.4.5 or the iPhoto to 6.1 help? I'm temporarily abroad, and don't want to screw up the laptop if I can avoid it.

luba:
That's been a bug with the Automator workflow ever since it's been introduced. Be sure to post that fact at the iPhoto feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
I wanted to create a slideshow of a book that I created but had to open each page of the book and do a Save As, picking the jpg format, to be able to do what I wanted.

How can I import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11.0.3.268 without garbling fields?

When I try to import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11, the fields get garbled.
Is there any way around this?

Hello again
Okay, you first open or give focus to the Project Manager pod. Once there, you will either be in Global View (where you see all files combined - CSS, Images, HTM and others) or you will be in Classic view. Classic View has separate folders, One for HTML files, another for CSS, another for Baggage, etc. See image below for reference.
If you are in Global view, just right-click somewhere inside the Project Files and choose New > Baggage File. If you are in Classic view, right-click the Baggage Files folder and choose New > Baggage File.
Then you navigate to where the Baggage File exists and you add it to the project. When you generate, the Baggage File should be automatically copied to the output folder with the other files.
To link to the Baggage File, you generally select the text or image the user will click to display the file, then click and drag the file from the Project Manager pod to the selected image or text.
Or, if you wish to leave the PDF where it is on the web, just determine the URL that would open it. Create a hyperlink from an image or text that will open the file.
Cheers... Rick

Imported ID pdfs appearance alters when imported into Quark as picture

Can anyone tell me why Indesign created pdf's change when imported into a quark picture box? I receive ads from various companies for a magazine in hi-rez pdf formats and when imported the appearance changes to include all the components/elements/boxes/etc. of the make-up of the ad....the things that are not supposed to be seen. Please help... advertisers are complaining and i can not stop it, or fix it.

Quark converts PDFs to EPS internally and thus has no support for the
more advanced features of PDFs exported from InDesign.
You should request EPS or PDF X/1-a if you want to continue to use
Quark. That said, this is an InDesign forum so I will heartily recommend
you switch to InDesign.
As you've discovered more and more folks are doing just that and you're
going to be left in the dust and those advertisers are going to be
looking elsewhere to spend their money.
