PDF picture frames?

I downloaded this free benefit that is supposed to allow me to put frames around my pictures. To use it, the website says "Please click the button below and select “save” when prompted to download the files to your computer.* To add your photos, simply open Acrobat XI and follow the instructions."But of course, when I open Acrobat XI I get no instructions. Any idea how to get this implemented?

I think what you downloaded are PDFs. You are meant to open them in Acrobat, and when you do, you'll see instructions.

  • How do I use PDF Picture Frames?

    How do I use the PDF Picture Frames for Acrobat XI? The download page says "To add your photos, simply open Acrobat XI and follow the instructions." but there are no instructions when you open Acrobat. The picture frames themselves are pdf files.

    Many of us (at least me) have no clue as to how to help you since our versions of AA XI did not come with this gift offer. I can't even find it on the Adobe site.
    I might guess that the frames are nothing but buttons as used in forms. You might try checking to see if selecting Forms>edit provides the frames at button objects. If that is the case, you simply go to the properties and change the photo to be displayed on the button.
    That is my best guess without having seen the gift PDF.
    As for Acrobat, there is a lot more to Acrobat than a gift PDF. Acrobat is designed for creating PDFs from other applications, providing minimal editing, and offereing forms and several other options. Hope that helps some.

  • Export to PDF, loss of shadows + picture frames

    I like to use Pages features like shadows and picture frames on photos (using Inspector > Graphic). I then export my Pages document to PDF to send for professional printing, but when the PDF is opened on Windows machines at the printer, the shadows are gone, and the photo inside the picture frame is totally missing. Some of the picture frames will stay in the PDF without the photo, and some will completely disappear along with the photos. I have confirmed this when viewing on a friend's PC also.
    I've tried both standard Pages exporting AND printing to PDF from the print dialog box, both fail.
    I searched the forum high and low and was pretty surprised to find no one else discussing this issue. Any suggestions on how to work around this and preserve the shadows and picture frame treatments on PDFs viewed on Windows machines?
    (Note: I have already tried converting the PDF to a JPG or TIFF file using Preview, and that essentially works, but there is enough loss of DPI to cause concern at the printer, and besides, its just not ideal to print professionally from those formats).
    Also it would be amazing if there were a printing company out there who printed color & full bleed jobs directly from Pages files on their Mac- anyone know of one? That would solve the whole issue of having to fumble around preparing files for PC viewing. (Oh if it were only a Mac world)...

    I agree with kirbot -- Apple includes nice templates that are obviously meant for professional printing in reasonably large quantities. Regardless, there's no good reason I can think of why Pages' PDFs are not truly WYSIWYG in their output. That shadows and other things are not exported as part of the PDF is a really dumb idea on Apple's part.
    Just ran into this issue myself and had to ditch all the drop shadows in my brochure in order for the files to work with my online printer.

  • Picture frame gets moved/resized during preview with iPad

    Hi Guys:
    This happens to a certain type of layout:
    Add a gallery widget to a page
    add only one image to the gallery widget
    Draw a rectangle shape in the page
    Select the rectangle, open the inspector, and add a picture frame decoration to the rectangle.
    Make the rectangle "Not filled" with any color, therefore we get a picture frame
    Put the picture frame on top of the gallery widget
    The gallery widget looks like an ordinary photo, decorated with a picture frame
    The problem:
    The aforementioned layout looks good in iBookAuthor, but when preivewing the book in iPad, the picture frame gets moved (or resizied), therefore it doesn't match the gallery widget.
    after the preview, widgets in the iBookAuthor remains good.
    My question:
    I think it is a bug of either the preview process, or the widgets. if this is the case. I'd deprecate this layout in my book and won't use it anymore.
    Further thoughts:
    I noticed that some type of picture frames are not in high resolution, when previewing the book in iPad, tap to maximize an interactive image with picture frame decorated, it is kind of obverious that the picture frame doesn't have high resolution.
    Any suggestion will be appreciated, thank you.

    What happens if you export an .ibooks file, then move it to iTunes and sync to your iPad (delete all previews of that same book first)...?
    Previews are just simplified PDFs and shouldn't be trusted to layout and work the same as a final book.

  • Images with Picture Frame stroke not printing?

    Does anyone have a known solution to an issue in which an image with a stroke of "Picture Frame" applied will not print?
    More details...
    - Created pages document (originally in '08 version of Pages, then upgraded to Pages '09 to see if that fixed it -- it did not)
    - Printed document in both both Pages version. All assets within document printed correctly with exception of photos that have stroke of "Picture Frame" applied.
    - Printed to PDF. Opened and printed from Preview. Again, all assets within document printed correctly with exception of photos with stroke of "Picture Frame."
    - Tried modifying print settings to "fit in page" as well as color correction. Same symptoms applied.
    - One solution (that's not the desired behavior but should be acknowledged) -- removing stroke allows images to print.
    Other:
    - Problem is reproducible across both versions of pages.
    - Problem may be same as seen in other searches found here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3005994?start=0&tstart=0 & here: http://forums.cnet.com/7723-21571_102-378574/pages-09-printing-problem/ & here: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/images-graphic-design-digital-photography/23980 6-framed-pictures-wont-print-iwork-pages.html
    Set-up:
    - iMac running 10.7.3
    - Started with iWork '08, updated to Pages '09
    - HP LaserJet CP1025nw
    Any advice much appreciated!

    Thanks for all your help, fruhulda.
    Tried:
    deleting plist
    uninstalling Pages
    trying a different account
    updating firmware
    trying a different printer
    The only thing that works -- which also worked for you -- was something other than this printer. And even with a firmware update, it's not working.
    I'd say this is an HP CP1025nw problem, which kind of hurts given it's a newer printer for us.
    Suppose it's best to consider this closed and unsolved.

  • Adding color to a picture frame

    I am brand new to Macs, and I have been checking out iworks. I am working on a blank page layout. I have added text boxes, and a photo from my gallery. I want to frame the photo, and have figured out how, using the inspector. What I can't figure out how to do is how to add color to the frame. Can anyone help me out?

    Hi Farmer Matt
    Welcome to the forum.
    fruhulda has shown how to change the color of simple strokes, however there are some frames you can not color change. Only "line" strokes can be changed, pdf files, jpegs, Photoshop and Pages' Picture Frames can not be changed.
    Check whether the frame/stroke you have in your file is a graphic or not by selecting it:
    +Inspector > Metrics > File Info+

  • Picture Frame Settings - How To Use

    Looking all over couldn't find answer. There is a cool Setting called "Picture Frame", so how do I actually start/enable this on the iPad?

  • How do I: put multiple PDF pictures into one PDF page?

    I have just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro Ver 9 - so this apllication and its associated SDK are the only applications available to me for use.
    Adobe Acrobat was chosen because of its AutoCAD capabilities (when AutoCAD is not present). i.e.  Using Acrobat & AutoCAD's plot configuration files & Pen / colour selection table ensures the output has correct line thicknesses (sometimes colours in CAD are used to represent a line's thickness) - this is preserved when using Acrobat.
    The generated output is fantastic. However, when I try to print the output via Excel / Word (used for layout) - my perfect output is reduced to imperfect results.
    So: is it possible to layout multiple PDF pictures inside one PDF entity for printing purposes such that the original output is not distorted?
    I have in the past put pages in front or behind other pages but cannot find any references or code that works with Pro 9 nor indeed the manual way to insert PDF pages at any location on a single PDF Page?
    I'll try and explain.  My template coud consist of 6 boxes on a single A4 page thus:
    My base PDF Page (can be thought of as a template - ideally it wont be printed - but even if it is - it wont be printed on any media material) has 6 areas (any number of areas up to 100) on it.  In each area, there is a box.  It is within these boxes that I wish to place a PDF Picture.  Not all pictures will be the same.  How can I do that?  Ideally I'd like some example C# code - though doing it as a user will suffice, for now.
    Is there a way of programmatically selecting each of the above boxes on the base PDF Document?
    I do know of one manual method (though it seems long winded) and it is not accurate enough in that (even though the layers are deselected) - the hidden layers are subsequently outputed too - not good!
    Uses a button icon over each box.
    All the current Adobe help for the SDK refers to Pro 8 and previously - which all seems to have now been replaced in Pro 9
    This question will be placed in the Developer & User Forums - as it pertains to both.
    Thankyou in advance for anyone that either knows any workarounds or any ways to affect a solution. 

    Picture of what I want to see:
    What I get, and don't want to see is:
    The PDF was generated using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from an AutoCAD LT (DWG) file without AutoCAD being present but making use of a plot configuration (PC3) file & pen table (CTB) file.  The resultant file [WhatIWantToSee.pdf] is perfect - all the lines are the right thickness & colour and are perfect vectors (with no construction / proofing layers visible).  When you view that file in Acrobat and show the "Layers" property box, you see that the correct number of layers whilst are still present are indeed turned off.
    However, when I add a forms-button to one of the rectangles (please refer to initial post - where there are 6 rectangles), and display same file as icon display.  The resultant view is the one shown above named [ What I get and don't want to see].  It seems the saved layer settings are all ignored?
    I generated the PDF file through Adobe Acrobat Pro 9  Menu | File | Create PDF | From File (Files of type Autodesk) | Options | Selected Layers | Layout | Last Active Layout.
    Rectangles are regular content elements - not fields (in the general meaning of form-fields).

  • How to delete the photoes in the picture frame

    I deleted all the photoes, but they still show in the picture frame. How to delete them?

    If you have any synced photos on your iPad the only way to delete those is by syncing again with iTunes... Either sync an empty photo folder or unselect the photos folder from the photos tab in iTunes and sync again.
    Are you sure that you are not using Photos from your Photo Stream? Go to Settings>Picture Frame and make sure that there are no albums, or photo stream photos to choose from.

  • How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

    How do I move a PDF picture from an email on my iPad to my pictures?

    You can't save a PDF directly to the photos app, but if you can open the PDF in the mail app and get the entire PDF to appear on the screen, take a screenshot of it and that will be saved to the photos app camera roll.
    Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time briefly until you see the white flash on the screen and hear the shutter sound. That's how to take a screenshot.
    You should probably tap and hold down on the PDF in the mail app and select it to open in iBooks or another PDF app that you might have on the iPad.

  • I no longer have the ability to use my IPad at work as a digital picture frame after the upgrade. This was the main reason I bought a second iPad for my business. Apparently this feature is no longer available. Is there an app that would work the same?

  • Macbook Pro connecting to Sync Pix digital picture frame? Help!!

    I have a late 2008 UMBP. My mother and I bought a Sync Pix digital picture frame that we are giving my grandmother for Mother's Day. The picture frame says it is Mac and PC compatible, but when I plug in the picture frame using a USB port it does not show up on my desktop. It has shown up one time, but has since disappeared and can not get it back on my desktop. I have tried both USB ports on my computer, and both ports on my father's late 08 UMBP as well. I can see it in Disk Utility, but can not drag or drop photos. I just need to drag over some photos to it so I can ship it as fast as I can to get to her by Mother's Day. Any help would definitely be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    Mea Culpa, the subject should read "Does NOT recognize picture frame."

  • Problem printing PDF picture files imported from JPG using HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer

    When I print PDF picture files imported from JPG using an HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer, the picture spills over.  A wide range of other PDF files print OK.  Have tried things such as configuring the printer to scale to letter size, etc,, but without success.  Have a Windows 7 64 bit computer and Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5.  Any ideas?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @rt70 
    I understand you're having some issues with printing PDF files from a website on Windows 7.
    I would personally suggest trying to print from that website using a different web browser. If you're using Internet Explorer, try FireFox or Chrome, for example.
    You can also try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, that will search and try and fix printing issues.
    If you have any issues that continue, please let me know what they are and which programs, websites, and web browsers you have tried, along with the results from running the diagnostic tool above.
    Good luck and have a great day

  • How to change the picture frame size in Lightroom 5 Book

    I would like to control the actual picture frame size when making a Book in Lightroom 5. Or else know the sizes of the different picture frames provided by choosing the different page layouts. That way I can either change the picture frame dimensions to accomodate each photo or change the image size to fit in the offered picture frame. I find that using the software as is winds up cropping the images in unwanted ways. Modifying the picture frame would be my preferred alternative. Appreciate any ideas

    Hi again Tony,
                I have been using Adobe Photoshop 7, Photoshop Elements, Perfect Photo Suite, Photo Studio, etc., changing Image size, placing a picture on a page and then, do a simple last minute size adjustment by using the arrows to stretch or shrink it in place. Things would be a lot simpler if I could do the same thing with the cells in Lightroom 5. Cell pad adjustments do not fill the bill.
    I think we’ve pretty much concluded this exchange. Thanks again for your effort.

  • How to change "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" as a default properties when importing images in Autor

    When I place images in iBook Author, they are automatically assigned these properties: "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" stroke.
    I don't want that and couldn't find where can I change it in the Preferences. Anyone has an idea?

    I've sent a feature request for a new version of Author:
    When I place images in iBook Author, they are automatically assigned these properties: "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" stroke.
    It would be great if I could be able to change it in the Preferences to "No wrap" and "No Frame" so I don't have to manually adjust every single image of my book - there are lots of them.
    It would be really nice if Author implements "Layer's" concept like almost all graphic programs like Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, etc.
