Thanks, I can get it and your suggestion was a good one, but it is still pixilated.  I put the PDF file in Photoshop and sharpened it and it helped but it’s not as perfect as the text that InDesign creates.  I appreciate your time.  Nancy
You should NEVER open a PDF in Photoshop because Photoshop is not a common PDF editor.—NEVER—Opening and saving in Photoshop will cause a rasterizing of any PDF and will change colors. Don’t!
You can place the PDF without any previous editing in InDesign. File > Place.
The pixelation is only a preview thing. You can change it via Right Mouse Click > Context Menu > Display Performance > High.
This will change nothing on the output.

  • Why are pdfs so much larger with Mac than a pc?

    I have a MacBook Pro and I use the "save as" feature to create pdfs. These are much, much larger than when I used a pc. In fact, most times they are 2-3x the KB of the orginal document. How can I fix this?
    Debbie

    They arent.....you just have your settings set DIFFERENT on you MAC......I work with  Acrobat PDF creation everyday...., and make pdf every day on both Mac and Windows..
    .......10 scanned books created in Acrobat for creation is the same as Win Acrobat pdf creation.
    Check your pdf settings, optimization settings, dpi settings (for scans)
    Make sure youre saving them as the same kind of PDF, there are ....>
    archival PDF (pdf-a)
    pdf-x

    and other PDF embedding. Embedded fonts set/unset in default.

  • Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac.  Pages only recognizes text.  What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

    Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac.   Pages seems to only recognize text.   What app is recommended for pdf documents?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
    Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
    They will show up in the iBooks application
    (If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
    Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
    One is Books, the other is Collections.
    Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
    Tap PDFs and you're there.

  • How do I convert PDF to word on a mac?

    Hi,
    I'm new to apple products and i'm struggling to find how i convert a pdf file to word.  On a PC the option automatically popped up on the file or edit and right click.  There is no right click on a mac from what I can see and there is no option in file or edit.
    Any help grately received.
    Thanks in advance
    Jo

    I've found that some of the non-Adobe converters (and some of the free online converters) don't do such a good job as Acrobat Pro. If you want to try it out, you can download one of the free 30-day trial packages from Adobe that include Acrobat Pro X (such as Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard),
    but it is really very expensive, but there are many other third pary PDF converter progarms out there:

  • Unable to attach PDF to email (Outlook for Mac 2011)

    We are pushing out software upgrades for CS5 and MS Office 2011 for Mac. We've discoverd that we can't use the Attach to email feature in Acrobat. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up for about a minute, and then Acrobat is non-responsive and we have to force quit. We can still drag and drop an attachment so we have a viable workaround but obviously we'd like to be able to use the automated feature.
    All software is up-to-date.
    In the preferences panel of Outlook, we have selected Outlook to be the default mail application.
    As a sidenote, this feature doesn't work with Acobat X beta either. However, in the beta version of Acrobat X, if we declare Apple's mail application to be the default, it works fine. Unfortunately we use the Office suite as part of our enterprise system, so that's what we need to work with.
    Has anyone else experienced this? I've logged a ticket with Adobe but I haven't heard back from them yet.
    Thanks for any advise.

    Take the bhama way
    figured out how to make it work.  I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (mac)
    and MS Outlook for Mac 2011.
    For those who are interested, this is what I did:
    1. Create a folder on desktop to save your pdf¹s files you want to email
    to.  Mine is named, "PDF to Email"
    2. Open Automator, create a "Folder Action"
    3. At the top, "Choose Folder", choose your newly created folder on the
    desktop
    4. Choose the "Rename Finder Items" action from the action list.  I chose,
    "Don¹t Add" on the add a Copy Finder Items Action menu.
    5. On the "Add Date or Time to Finder Item Names" I chose, "Name Single
    Item" from the first drop down menu.
    6. Click on "Options" at the bottom of that window to select the "Show
    this action when the workflow runs" so you can rename your         file
    something other than the Acrobat default.
    7. Choose the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" from the action list and
    add it below the "Name Single Item in Finder Item Names"
    8. Choose "File>Save As" and give your file a name.  Mine is, "PDF to
    Email".
    9. Close Automator
    10. Open Acrobat X Pro.
    11. Go to "File>Action Wizard>Create New Action"
    12. Here you choose, "Save to>A Folder on my computer"
    13. Choose the folder on the desktop that we saved earlier
    14. Save the file, with the action name you will remember.
    Now when you are in Acrobat X Pro and you want to send that .pdf file via
    Outlook for Mac 2011, follow the steps below.
    With the file you want to email open, go to "File>Action Wizard>(Action
    you created) Mine is "PDF to Email".  It will take a few seconds, but you
    will get an "Action Completed".  You will get a pop up that allows you to
    name/rename the file. Then it should open your Outlook with your .pdf
    attached and ready for sending.
    You might need to tweak the actions to suit your needs, but this should
    work for you.

  • Why no PDF viewer for Firefox4 for Mac?

    I used to use the PDF viewing plug-in with Firefox 3.X but it seems there is no similar plug-in available for 4.X. Am I missing something? I tried downloading OpenIT, but it was truly awful. Why is Firefox so far behind on such a basic yet essential capability? I am about to either revert to 3.X or replace Firefox with Safari.

    Try installing

  • PDF to autoplay CD (PC & Mac compatible)

    Hi, i have an interactive PDF done and now would like to burn it to a CD for giving out to client, any third party software or freeware recommend for autoplay (for example when people insert the CD, computer will automatic open to first page of that PDF) (prefer work on both Mac & PC, i found this (http://www.autoplayme.com/) but they dont support Mac unfortunately. Thanks.

    Correct. Macs never have and never will. One of the reasons, why PC's have such a problem with virus and malware attacks is auto execute, and auto run flies. So Apple long ago decide to prevent such to not support the practice.

    Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application “ACDSee Pro” can’t be opened."

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

    Hi Paresht,
    This may not be a Nokia's problem. Apple has a huge set of licensed  fonts - this is presumably because of their background din publishing. When you generate a PDF in UNIX ( Mac OS X) it does not imbed the fonts which were used in the original document. Unfortunately, in order to read this PDF you would have to have the same font in the OS which you are opening the document in ( in this case Symbian) I doubt that Nokia has licensed the same amount of fonts. In normal circumstances the host OS will try to substitute missing fonts, but clearly this is not happening. 
    If the above is the case, I suggest you change font in your original document to something common (Times). if this helps then it is a font issue and you have your answer.
    I hope this helps. 

  • How do i transfer pdfs into iPhoto on a mac

    how do i transfer pdfs into iPhoto on a mac. the pdfs are in my pictures folder but i need them to be in my iphoto

    If you have pdfs with multi pages that you want to get into iPhoto here's a way to do so enmass:
    Here's how to get any file (pdf) into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
    1 - open the (pdf) file in any application that will open it, in this case Preview.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    NOTE:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place them in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of each page of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.

  • How to get pics off of adobe .pdf file for emailing.(mac computer)

    What happened: I got copy place to scan 8.5x11 pages that had 2-3pics on each. They scanned in as .pdf file which I open with Adobe reader and see 8 pages of several pics on each page. I'd like to be able to drag or copy off pics from these pages so I can email to others, but I cannot find out how to do this. I saw under the readers TOOLS the submenu of "select and zoom" and submenu "snapshot tools" and tried that and it shows "the selected area has been copied", then what do I do? I try going into email program (mac computer and using Thunderbird email) and the "paste" is greyed out. I try opeining iPhoto and same greyed out PASTE option. WHEre can I paste it to after using that? It won't go to desktop either. Is there any other Adobe program that will make this work on a Mac computer? Thanks ahead for ALL help!
    Adobe Reader vs 9.1.2
    Mac OS 10.4.11

    Adobe supports Macs for 99% of their applications. I'm not sure where you found that information.
    Photoshop isn't an inexpensive application so you may look in to buying the less expensive version of Photoshop Elements.

  • PDF won't open on Mac with Adobe Reader Error message:Adobe Reader could not open

    I have Adobe Reader 10.1.3 for Mac, (10.7.3) and am having problems opening pdfs.  I get an error message: Adobe Reader could not open file name.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). The files are not from emails, but are from websites, government sites, professional organizations etc.)  Help! Adobe is no help!

    Manually download the files to your computer (right-click on the url). When the file is downloaded to your computer do you get the same message when you try to open in Reader through the File->Open menu? What about when you open the file in Mac's Preview application?
