Pdf text inserted in page not sharp

I have a large pdf document I would like to copy into a page on my site. The problem is that all the text is converted into a picture file together with all the rest of the images and thereby renders somewhat unsharp (the text, that is). Not being an Illustrator wizard I have tried to save it all as an eps file and insert this into the page, but the text still seems unsharp. Just copying the the text in the pdf is of no use as when inserted in a text editor all spaces and tabs are lost. For the record, I don´t mind this text being a picture file as long as I can get it sharp. Any suggestions for solutions muchly appreciated. Jon

If you are creating a still menu, then design it entirely in Photoshop. Photoshop has presets for all the different formats (i.e, NTSC, PAL, widescreen, normal, etc.) Use the format that exactly matches what you are setting your menu to. DO NOT create something at a higher resolution than what you will actually use. Export out a PICT, TIFF or PNG file. Bring that into DVD SP.
If you are creating a motion menu, create that entirely in FCP. Export out a QuickTime video to Compressor where you will create a MPEG-2. Bring that into DVD SP.
In either case you will want to create a grayscale PICT or TIFF as your overlay. Create that in Photoshop at exactly the size you will be using.
Now that you have entirely made your menu elsewhere, you will will not need to add any text or graphics to your menu in DVD SP. In fact if you do it will definitely cause a loss in quality.

Reader PDFs won't print; "pages not selected"

PDFs on Reader will not print. I get a message "Pages not selected" but there is no way to select them.

Met with IT. tried to install a native driver (as opposed to a generic postscript). Same problem. There's a solution that sits outside of Acrobat... Mac OS X "Prevew", prints the doc flawlessly. I'm not sure what else to do. I've even tried some advanced settings to print as image, where it takes a long time to flatten each page, then print.. no pages will print. I'm inclined to say it's a memory issue between the Mac and this printer, but perplexed because there is no issue with "Preview"...

Text on some pages not displaying correctly since Lion upgrade

Since upgrading to Lion a few days ago, I find that the texg on many web pages does not display correctly. It appears to affect mainly header texts - all I get is a row of the capital letter "A" in boxes. I am running Safari Version 5.1 (7534.48.3) on Lion 10.7 Build 11A511.
Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

I don't see an option for how to insert a page (not page break)?

Anyone know how to make this option become available?

Unsupported in Pages v5.1.
Alternative
Open main document. Then open second document whose content you want to insert, select that content, and copy to the clipboard. Position in main document where you want the clipboard content pasted, and then do so.

Moved site - ADDT insert form pages not working

Not sure what has happened here. I have copied a site from:
www.goodsafariguide.com to:
www.goodsafariguide.net
The domains are on a shared reseller hosting account so are both pointing to the same database, but I noticed that pages with ADDT forms were not displaying at all.
I created a new page just with a basic form, and it works on the .com domain:
http://www.goodsafariguide.com/campkalahari/newform.php
But not on the .net domain:
http://www.goodsafariguide.net/campkalahari/newform.php
The database connection looks OK - any idea what the issue here could be?
Thanks.

Narrowed it down to the error:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'tNG_dispatcher' not found in /home/gsgnet12/public_html/campkalahari/index.php on line 27
I think I can see what all happened now. I originally got thrown because I uploaded the entire site, including a folder containing lots of hi-res photos, that were never uploaded originally. It looks as though files that weren't uploaded when the disk space ran out were still showing up in the file directory, but with a file size of 0k.
So then when I was reuploading files, Dreamweaver wasn't actually uploading them because it seemed to think they were already uploaded, and I could see them showing up on the remote server, so it all looked OK.
Anyway - it all looks OK now.

PDF text editing

How can I remove underscore from existing text when replacing pdf text?

That's not quite true. If you have Acrobat Pro XI and the font used is
editable you can easily remove the underscore from the text using the Edit
Text & Images tool. Simply select the underscored text and then click the
underline button under "Format" on the right.

Acrobat X Pro makes text disappear from a page when I insert that page into another PDF

I printed a single page Microsoft Project schedule to PDF using Acrobat X Pro. All good. I then inserted that one page into another PDF document using Tools/Insert Pages/Insert from File. Much of the text in the inserted page goes missing after inserting that page into the other PDF document. How do I prevent this disappearing text problem?

Does the inserted page have a lot of markup? I do not think the markup will insert.

Photoshop to pdf creates text and images that are not sharp. Why?

I know that Photoshop is not the premier pdf creation software. I do have InDesign as well, but I'm much more familiar and comfortable with Photoshop (I have the CC versions of both) so I prefer to use it as my design and layout tool.
However, when I save as a pdf the resultant pdf file is blurry for images and text, not horribly so, but not sharp and clear as I would like. My pdf files are for the web and emailing so I need to keep the file size in check, but even when I up the PS resolution to 300psi it still is not as clear as I would like. Still blurry.
What do you Photoshop experts out there do to produce the sharpest pdf possible? Is it even possible using Photoshop only or do you have to use InDesign or Acrobat Pro to get the clarity and shapness?

This is kind of like saying "I know that a screwdriver is the correct tool for inserting screws, but I'm much more comfortable using a hammer, so I prefer to just hammer the screws in."
It works, sort of. But the results will never be as good. And you wouldn't want to use the screwdriver with nails, either. There are two different tool (programs) for a reason, and I think once you learn InDesign, you will find it to be a much better layout tool than Photoshop.

PDF files created in Pages have text not viewable on PC

I have created a large (7 MB) program for a large conference in Pages. In order to have it printed, I converted it to a PDF. For some reason, some of the text on some pages is not viewable on PCs using Acrobat Pro or Reader - it should be black and is showing as white text.
What could be the problem? This does not happen on all PCs, only some. Has anyone experienced this in the past and is there a solution? Of course, my deadline is rapidly approaching...the conference starts on the 26th. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am having the same problem when exporting to PDF AND Word files. My document looks great in Pages and in Preview, but half of my text is converted to white when viewed in Acrobat Reader or Word. This is very FRUSTRATING!! I have a deadline approaching, too, and am collaborating with another shop that works on PC's. Any ideas for how to fix this issue are very welcome!

I need to insert Pages text file at end of a file; i.e., making one long document from several files. insert 'file' is not option in toolbar. how do i do this?

i need to insert a Pages text file at end of another file; in other words, i'm making one long file from several files. "insert file" is not an option in the toolbar, so how do i do this?

cass516 wrote:
this method sounds like a PAIN but of course i have no choice but to try it. Why would Pages make such a simple thing so troublesome? in other programs, you simply click 'insert file'.
The only thing odd about Pages' Insert file is that it doesn't do its own format.
You obviously think that MsWord is "The Norm" but I found really odd things that it won't do. To the point I, like others here, can't be bothered trying to drive the Word square peg into the Mac round hole.
Mostly Pages works by drag and drop, I'm puzzled why that doesn't work with the thumbnails. But then there are quite a few oddities in every program. Pages is far from an exception.

Highlighting PDF text using Pages?

My goal is to highlight key text in a multi-page PDF for review by others on my team. The original PDF has the commenting rights turned off, not allowing highlighting using Adobe Reader. My solutuion is to insert the PDF into a blank Pages document and layer a semi-transparent colored object over the selected text. That works fine but when I insert the PDF only the first page is appearing. I'm sure this has something to do with the nature of the PDF as an image but I wonder if there is a way to have all of the PDF pages available in Pages without having to capture and insert each page as an individual image?
Thanks for your advice.

Reefkeeper,
Have you considered marking up your pdf document in Preview? I'm not sure how the markups survive across platform boundaries, but I see that markups in Preview are preserved in Adobe Reader for Mac.
You can underline, highlight, comment, etc. See: http://www.apple.com/business/theater/#tutorial=annotatingpdfs
Regards,
Jerry

PDF text pages in iPhoto books

I'm not sure that this is a problem. I just want reassurance before I click the ORDER BOOK button and buy the iPhoto book I have created.
I have imported PDF pages of text into the book, as I was able to get more control over the text layout that way. However, when I proof a PDF-text page, it looks more blurry and pixellated than standard, typed-on-the-page text, as if the resolution is not quite so high. It is perfectly legible, just a shade less sharp.
Is this likely to be a resolution matter with my printer, or will the text be marginally more blurry in the printed book's PDF pages, too? If blurry is the answer, is there anything I can do before ordering the book to get the text looking just as sharp on the PDF pages as on the non-PDF, direct-to-page, text?
Many thanks in advance.

In PS under Edit->Color Settings Working Spaces set Grayscale to Dot Gain 20% and set the RGB menu to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. This is for future uses.
Now open each file in PS CS2 from withing iPhoto, go to the Image->Mode menu and select RGB. Save the changes, Command+S, and that's it. The photo will then appear normally in iPhoto.
Here's how to use Photoshop from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you ever do any scanning of B/W photos always scan as color.

Missing Format Text, Insert, and Edit Source, etc Options on Some Pages

I’m having trouble understanding why certain pages have more edit options than others. I’m new to Sharepoint Workspace 2010 and I’ve been reading/ researching for answers for 2 days now. I tried to HyperSnap in some pictures however it will not allow me
to until my account is verified and it's not sending a verification email, sorry!
Issue:
On some pages, I have the edit pencil with lots of great edit options such as Format Text, Insert and Edit Source. (This is good!)
On some pages I have no edit pencil, but when I go to Page
à Edit Page à I get few edit options, not including Format Text, Insert or Edit Source. (This is not good)
After reading other somewhat similar posts, I noticed that on the pages where I get lots of edit options, they show SitePages in the URL. Where I get few edit options, SitePages is not in the URL.
Is there a fix so that I can have the expanded edit options in all of my pages? Thank you for your help!

Hi,
In SharePoint we don’t have edit page options [ribbon toolbar page edit formatting options] for all types of page for application page we cannot edit application page like site pages
again the missing edit button might be due to many causes:
Can you verify that it's not a permissions issue? Try navigating to the page in edit mode by appending to the url: your-site/Pages/YourPage.aspx?ControlMode=Edit&DisplayMode=Design
Or you can try this
your-site/Pages/YourPage.aspx? ?ToolPaneView=2
1. You can check that on some pages the ribbon is hidden by default. You need to make it visible by clicking on "Show Ribbon" on the "Site Actions" drop-down menu.
2. You haven't been doing Visual Upgrade (which actually replaces your master page with the v4.master)
3. If you have different master page and may be your master page is not 100% compatibile with SP2010, nor does it use the elements from v4.master (collaboration) or the example nightandday.master
To add the button in your page you could use the <SharePoint:PageStateActionButton id="PageStateActionButton" runat="server" Visible="false" /> (if you've seen already that would generate the button on the left side of
the ribbon)!
Please can you ping the URL of the page and how you crated that page to further assist, we would be happy to help.

Inserting Multiple Page PDF in Word Document

I've been searching for an answer to what I thing ought to be a rather simple question and I can find nothing. I have a couple of users who have attempted to insert a multiple page PDF into a Word document and found that only the first page of the PDF
shows up in their document. Is there any method to insert multiple page PDFs into Word as multiple pages without splitting the PDF into individual single page files and inserting individually?
Thanks...Ray

A quick and dirty way to do this is to open the pdf document in question with word separately. You get the following warning message.
I can then select all and copy/paste in to my word document.
The few pdfs I tried this with pretty much turned in to all images when I did this, but it worked my purposes.
I did end up having to resize one that didn't seem to want to fit when I pasted it in. There may be a method to select an image and automatically fit it within the margins of the page it is on that would help that.
The file size on my resulting word document seemed to grow quite a bit as well. Again, not really an issue in my case though.
