PDF JPEG vs. ZIP

Hi,
I'm bringing files to my service bureau to print out for me. If I save these Photoshop documents (photos of my artwork, very detailed) as JPEG, will it lose something, or be "lossy" when the service bureau opens the file, or will it be okay as long as I don't make any more changes or saves?
When I save as ZIP, it's quite large, and I was hoping to avoid the extra space on my Flash Drive.
Thanks,
Allan

Allen,
If you have your own website, it should be really easy to set up as many ftp folders as you want, or just have one. You can password protect or not and you can set a file size limit if so inclined. You'll have to log on to your website host's site where they usually have some sort of control panel to do things like create ftp folder and add email accounts. You may need to call tech support to have them walk you through it the first time, but after that it gets easier.
Transmit is an ftp client software that makes it really easy to access ftp sites and either upload or download. It has an easy to understand "your stuff" "their stuff" interface and it couldn't be simpler to save as "favorites" any ftp site you frequent - highly recommended.
The ftp folder is just folder on your website that typically is not accessable from other parts of your site unless you make it so. In effect, it becomes just another folder for files except it's on a third party's computer (your web host) and you and whoever you give the information to can access it.

Make pdf files from jpeg and zip files?

how do I make a pdf file from a jpeg or zip file?

You will need Adobe Acrobat or use https://createpdf.acrobat.com/ to make a PDF from JPEG.
ZIP files need to be unzipped before converting the content to PDF.

Opening word, excel, pdf, jpeg files as attachments on iphones

I've always been able to open word, excel, pdf & jpeg files as attachments on my iphone 5. But recently, everytime I tried to open one of these, the file image turned up all grey, and in the case of jpeg files, it just kept on loading, loading & loading, but never finished loading ... It seems like this happened after I updated to IOS 6.1.4 recently... This is just a guess. Could anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Srinivas,
Thank you for your reply. It helped me get to a solution. In essence I needed to copy the Unix file to an internal table and then save it to the end user's PC file. Then I am able to open the document / attachment.
I created a new function to:
1) call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse, to ask the end user to pick a PC directory to copy the Unix file attachment to.
2) Then using the following code, copy the Unix file (as determined by application or user) to an internal table. Note that the line is not limited by a certain length.
types: begin of t_tab,
          line type string,
         end of t_tab.
data: k_wa_itab type t_tab,
        t_it_itab type standard table of t_tab.
open dataset v_unixfilename for input in binary mode.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    raise unix_filename_read_error.
endif.
do.
    read dataset v_unixfilename into k_wa_itab-line.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      exit.
    endif.
    append k_wa_itab to t_it_itab.
enddo.
close dataset v_unixfilename.
3) Using call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, save the contents of the internal table to the PC directory from step 1 above.
4) Open the Attachment from the end users PC via:
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
It seems like a long way to get this to work, but it is working. If there is a better way maybe someone else can fill in the blanks. Ideally a tool to read and open from a file from Unix without using the cl_gui_frontend_services would be ideal.

Writing XMP to multiple file formats (PDF, JPEG, TIFF, etc)

Hi,
I am developing a server-side component that embeds XMP data into a file (of various formats) and then provides these files for client download.
I have been using the XMP toolkit for generating the metadata, however i now have the problem of getting this metadata into the relevant file. I could always develop this myself but it seems like a huge amount of work. So to make my life easier, does anyone know of any toolkits (from adobe or otherwise) that support writing XMP data into different file formats (PDF, JPEG, TIFF, AIFF, MPEG etc) ??
I am developing in Java so I would prefer Java libraries, however I can always use JNI calls to C/C++ (as i have with the XMP toolkit).
Any help would be very appreciated.
Regards,
Jude

Greetings,
I think we should standardize some information, I know for a fack, that I will support adding XMP metadata in the HDF, RIFF, IFF and OLE file formats. If you have any specific suggestions on the chunk information or signature information that I should use, let me know?
For my part, I was thinking of adding RIFF,IFF chunks with the name \ xmp in those file formats. For OLE, maybe an added stream with the xmp name (in UTF-16).
Comments welcome everyone!

Converting Flex Graphs to PDF/JPEG

We'd love to use Flex in our application. However, we would
need a way to convert Flash components (or an entire SWF) to a
PDF/JPEG.
We've created a Flex application that allows users to create
their own charts and we will even have the ability to generate a
simple SWF file for each chart (using the command line compiler).
Is there a way (or any ideas about a possible way) to do
*any* of these things? --
- Convert a static SWF file to PDF
- Convert a static SWF file to JPEG/PNG/TIF/ETC
- Grab a 'screenshot' of a Flex Component
- Anything else that would do the job
I've looked around for a product that would do any of the
above, but I can't find anything that could be accessed
programmatically (i.e. called via a script).

The answer is yes. Here is a thread that should answer your
question. I
updated the PNGEncoder.as to compile with Beta3. However, I
have not tested
that it works in Beta3.
Original Question:
Specifically we need to export a bitmap (in any format,
preferably PNG, but
jpg or GIF will do) from the application. These bitmaps
should be pixel
perfect replicas of chart controls within the application. We
were
originally told that this was not possible in Flex 1.5. It
appears however
that in Flex 2.0, the BitmapData class of the Flash 8 player
is now exposed,
and with a little research it seems like we should be able to
use it to
access a Flex chart, pixel by pixel and send the data back to
the server for
rendering as an image file.
So I have a couple questions:
1.. Is the approach I have outlined above workable?
2.. Does this approach require Flex 2.0?
3.. Is there a better way of exporting a bitmap image of a
Flex control?
Response:
1) You don't need to pull the data pixel by pixel. You can
create a
BitmapData, draw() the chart into the bitmap, and ask for its
bits as a
bytearray.
2) Your best bet is to compress the bitmapData into a PNG and
send that to
the server. The server does nothing but turn around and send
it right back
in the response with the appropriate headers to trigger the
browser to pop
up a save dialog.
3) I've attached some prototype code I wrote a while back to
turn a Bitmap
into a PNG. It was written against a pre-alpha build, so it
will need some
work. It's also not fully functional I think. Specifically, I
know that when
the size of the image crosses a boundary you need to split it
up into chunks
as you write it out into the file, which this code isn't
doing. THere may be
other problems too.
4) Yes, this only works in Flex 2.

Syndicating pdf/jpeg from MDM to ECC

Hi All,
Its not possible to syndicate PDF's/JPEG files from MDM. Is there any work aroung to achieve this? Please reply if anyone has work on such a scenario.
Thanks in advance.
Manish

Hello Manish
I don't know why you need to syndicate pdf/ jpeg files from MDM to ECC (I think that isn't make sense).
That ability doesn't supported in mdm.
You can connect to pdf/ jpeg files stored in MDM from Web Services.
more about web services here:

How do I convert PDF/JPEG file in "Brush Script MT" font to Word Document

How do I convert PDF/JPEG file in "Brush Script MT" font to Word Document? (I checked with Acrobat XI pro but no use

You cannot in Adobe Reader. You can try in Acrobat, but first you must try to run OCR (Text Recognition). I have never tried OCR on a script font.

Packaging PDF into Captivate .zip for use in LMS

I found out that if you make a link to a .pdf relative, and copy it into the .zip file going into the LMS, the link will work. However, it forces the student to leave the session when they open the .pdf. Is there any way to open a .pdf in a popup window or player without using a pdf to swf converter? (I tried that, and it only made the .pdf's ugly or not work at all)

I would assume so. But it could be something with ancestry.com. I don't see where any Adobe products come into play here.

Adding keywords to eps, ai, pdf & jpeg

Hi I'm new to bridge and I'm also new to keywords/tagging so I need little help.
I'm trying to tag files with keywords then upload them to a service called fluxiom (which is like an online portfolio). Fluxiom allows you to search your files by keywords. Now I've added keywords to jpgs and tifs with success but when I try other files like pdfs, ai, eps, etc my keywords are not "sticking" - any ideas? I've also tested it locally by searching my files with Spotlight which is giving me the same results - tif, jpg are okay but not the others.
help please.

I tried restarting with the option key and reset everything but I'm still not having success. I've attached a pdf that shows the results I'm getting. The tif and the jpeg worked fine, the pdf half worked and the ai and eps (which I saved a variety of ways using different previews) didn't work on any of them.
As I mentioned I'm running CS3 on all these apps in Leopard 10.5.5.
Another related question to help me get a better understanding of Bridge and tagging shouldn't I be able to search on my mac either using the finder (command + F) or spotlight for these embedded keywords? Isn't tagging the files to have the ability to search for them either on the web or on my computer the main reason for tagging. I ask because after I added these keywords/descriptions and searched for the files the only three I found where the tif, jpg & pdf - again confirming the issue I'm having.
sorry if I'm asking a dumb question.

Parsing custom document types e.g PDF, JPEG etc

Hi,
If I need to parse custom document types as I mentioned above how do I extract attributes since the documents are not structured and unlike XML there are no tags.
Thanks
KM

And as I said before, you have to know the format of the file to parse it.
PDF, PS, XLS, DOC, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, etc. are all binary files that have proprietary formats. Some are documented (JPEG, GIF, PS, for instance), others are not (DOC, XLS, for instance).
The world is moving to XML and other text-based formats because they are open standards -- they are easier to parse and more interoperable with disparate applications.

PDF & JPEG attachments no longer work in Tiger

I just upgraded to Tiger yesterday and now my trusty Mail application is totally useless. I send proofing PDFs and JPEGs to my clients all day long and now anything I attach is a crapshoot. Everytime I attach a JPEG, I get a garishly coloured preview in the email body which sometimes I can fix by fiddling with that new image size window in the lower right of the window frame, but my clients still get an email with the image embedded in it that they usually can only save as a bmp. Mail was working perfectly under Panther. Why the blazes did they mess it up? The most annoying thing is that there used to be a preference setting that would allow you to turn off seeing images in your emails. This is seriously affecting my business and I won't upgrade any of my other Macs until this is resolved. Has anyone else found a workaround for this?

The most annoying thing is that there used to be a preference setting
that would allow you to turn off seeing images in your emails.
I've been using the Mail.app exclusively since Jaguar was introduced, thru Panther and now Tiger and there has never been such a preference setting with any Mail.app version for displaying inline or viewed in place attachments. There is a preference setting to display remote images in HTML messages which is not the same thing.
The Mail.app displays image/photo attachments and 1 page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off but this is not the same as being embedded.
You can control-click on such an attachment and choose View as Icon but regardless - depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such an attachment may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened (as with the Mail.app when receiving such an attachment) or as an attached file only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which the sender has no control over.
The same is true in reverse. Windows Outlook and OE shows all message attachments as attached files only but when receiving an image/photo attachment with the Mail.app, it will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message.
Using Send Windows Friendly Attachments has no control over or effect on this and should be used regardless when sending attachments to a Windows recipient. This feature removes the Apple resource fork for an attached file only which is invisible to fellow Mac users.
Although the Mail.app does not include an HTML composer/editor, RTF with Tiger Mail is really HTML. The recipients who are reporting this problem are Windows Outlook users and Outlook has a problem with Mail's RTF and image/photo attachments.
Use Send Windows Friendly Attachments, Plain Text for message composition instead of RTF and no need to select View as Icon which has no effect on the recipient's email client.

Compressing PDFs into a zipped file I can email to a coworker

How can I compress a bunch of PDF documents that can be emailed to a coworker that probably has a PC?

Hi keelyindra: Quite easy actually. If the files are not in a common folder, highlight as many files as you need right click (Control) Click and from the resulting menu items, select "compress items". If they are all contained in one folder, simply right click on the folder and select compress.
Hope this helps

I am making an ad for a virtual magazine. It needs to have a hyperlink to my website, but must be submitted in a TIFF, PDF, JPEG, or EPS file. How can I do this with the Photoshop file I have already made? Please Help!!

New to Photoshop here, please help!

Normally the best way to create an add is to to do it and to export it as PDF/X-4.
From Photoshop you can save as PDF, choose either the standard as the printer asks for or save as PDF/X-4.
Never use in any case EPS.
If the add contains vectors and/or fonts PDF is the best file type.
If no text or vectors are used you could use JPG with high compression quality, tiff or (not in your case) psd.
Take care that
Your file is not flattened to background, so all layers are alive, otherwise fonts will be rasterized.
You file should have a resolution in minimum between 240 and 300 ppi (not dpi)
With the text: is it pure black or is it 4c-black? K-Black is easier to accomplish in InDesign.
Don't make small elements in 4c.
