Permanent cropping trouble

I have cropped some pages and am now trying to make those crops permanent before sending the document to my colleagues. I use the "Remove Hidden Information" tool, but the tool is not detecting the crops (it says something like, "There is no hidden information to remove."). Even saving the PDF with a new filename doesn't help. And I don't want to use the "Sanitize Document" tool because then I lose my searchable text (it is a scanned and OCR'd document). Any ideas??

The only really safe way to remove things is redaction. Perhaps you could redact what you don't want, THEN crop.

"Permanently" Crop Clips?

I would like to "permanently" crop and/or split video clips while editing raw video within iMovie. I have been editing sports video (e.g. soccer game action) for highlight movies where I typically need only a small fraction of the video for the finished product. My problem with iMovie is that the full content of cropped clips remains, filling up my drives with gigabytes of unwanted video. I want to delete the trimmings when I am sure I have the final edited clip.
I always keep a copy of the raw footage as backup, so I am not worried about restoring edited portions of clips. A 20 minute finished highlight movie might be about 16-18 Gb, of which about 10-12 Gb is trimmed video. That's a lot of precious hard drive space and it makes handling the movie cumbersome.
Is there a hidden way to achieve this within iMovie, or perhaps a workaround, or might I need a third party software to solve my problem?

Welcome to the forum, 2Ns.
When a project has multiple clips — so that exporting each to a Full Quality movie is a nuisance — the simplest solution is usually to export the Timeline back the camera, then import from the camera to a new iMovie project. The clips you exported from Project A will normally return as discrete clips in Project B. Clips such as transitions and titles will no longer be editable, of course.
This purge is best done before you add transitions, titles and other edits. Import the original video to Project A, discard the clips you don't want, export Project A to camera, re-import to Project B, then discard Project A.
If for some reason the clips you export from Project A don't return as discrete clips in Project B, here's a workaround to force it to happen: In Project A, create a five-second "Black" clip (a placeholder clip), change it to a highly-noticeable color like pink, drag the pink clip to the Clips pane, then Option-drag a copy to between each of your video clips on the Timeline, then export to the camera. When you re-import to Project B the video clips will all be separated by a pink clip, forcing iMovie to deliver each video clip as a discrete clip. Select all the pink clips, hit the Delete key, and only your discrete clips remain.
The pink clip workaround usually isn't necessary. It's useful if the original video had no time code. If it was imported from a VHS tape, for example. Test this workaround with your camera before relying on it.

Tip: The export tape is valuable. It is your best backup, containing only the clips you want to retain. (Letting you re-use the original tape.) Before exporting Project A to the tape, consider adding a title describing the event — "1/5/2007 Graettinger vs. Ruthven, Away". If you can add multiple games to the tape, consider printing a tape index on the box. I've used a searchable database to catalog tapes and print labels.
(Do NOT be tempted to record the export at slow speed. The tape may not play reliably in other cameras.)

How do I permanently crop my photos (destructive edit) ?

I like how Lightroom leaves my original photo intact, and allows me to reverse all edits. However, sometimes I know I will not need to preserve the entire original file as shot. For example, I have a series of bird images where, if one can imagine the photo is divided into a 3 x 3 grid, and the bird is in the center square only. The rest of the photo is wasted space and therefore each of these images is taking up 8 times as much space on my hard drive as the image I need would. Is there a way to permanently crop the original photo, cutting out the unimportant part and leaving only my subject? Especially if some of these are RAW files, they can take up quite a bit of space.

+1 vote.. There really is NO way to substantially reduce raw file size, so you either have to convert to non-raw format (jpeg/lossy-dng) and lose the raws, or get more space, if you want to keep them I mean. Note: the latest version of NX2 supports removing the embedded jpeg (in bulk) if that would help. That'll cut a few megabytes from every raw.

Cropped .pdf in Preview To Show Permanent Cropping?

Hello
I am trying to get a multiple page .pdf that I created and cropped in Preview onto my iPad.
I understand the process, however when I finally view the file on the iPad, it has the original scans from the .pdf and not the ones I carefully cropped to make neater.
How can I save a .pdf to permanently reflect the cropping I made?
Many Thanks

In the Preview Help (page about Crop) you will may read :
+Rognage de documents PDF+
+Il est possible de rogner une page d'un document PDF afin de supprimer des portions inutiles. Vous pouvez rogner uniquement la page affichée ou toutes les pages du document.+
+*Le rognage de document n'affecte pas son contenu. _Vous pouvez visualiser à nouveau le document original_ en choisissant Présentation > Afficher PDF > Zone de données*+.
which an automatic translator translate as :
+Crop PDF document+
+It is possible to crop a page of a document PDF to remove useless portions. You can crop only the displayed page or all the pages of the document.+
+*Cropping document does not affect its contents. _You can display again the original document_ by choosing View > Show PDF > Zone of data.*+
Given that, it's clear that the cropped PDF just embed the infos decribing the size and the location of the cropping shape.
It appears that the app displaying these PDFs on the ipad is unaware of this feature.
It would be a good idea to post a feedback to Apple.
I don't know if they have a link dedicated to the ipad or if the one used for mac applications is valid.
Given the current behaviour, it would be useful to use a tool able to apply a 'destructive' crop.

Permanent cropping

Hi All,
I just cropped a whole bunch of pages in PDF file. However, after I save the file one can still go back and uncrop. Is there a way of making all of the cropping changes permanent?
Thanks
Starsky

Hi again,
Using the examine document and then deleting the white spaces did not change the documents margins. The crop command still shows the white spaces of the crop even after the examine document command was processed and saved.
I`ll have to learn the redaction command to comment further on that answer.

How do you crop in Quicktime?

I'm aware of the masking function, using a black and white gif, but I'm wondering if there is a way to actually permanently crop the movie, removing the information from the file to result in a smaller file size. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have been unable how to figure out how to do it with either Quicktime Pro or Autodesk Cleaner.
Thanks!!!

You have to re-compress the video. If you don't, the mask image must always stick to the video file. In such case, the file size won't change.

Can I resize pages in Acrobat?

Hi,
I'm in a rush to get my graphic design portfolio requirments done for my portfolio class at VCU. Please help if I don't finish it I don't graduate with my BFA!!! Ok I am over exaggerating but if I can resize this in Acrobat Pro it will save lots of time and I'm going insane from all the stress.
I have to resize all my portfolio pieces so they are within an 8 1/2 x 11 page format. My current pdf portfolio has all my pieces at all random sizes. I have about 39 pages some are horizontal magazine layouts and some are vertical posters. So when I resize everything will be on a page with some white space depending on the page. I can go into indesign and do this but that will take hours cause of importing large files. If I could just resize in Acrobat Pro (I have 9.1) I could be done soon. If it can't be done then I'll just have to do it the hard way, but I need an answer asap. I can't find anything that helps on the net.
Or if I can't resize my pages in this program does anyone have any suggestions as to how I may do so quickly? Anything to avoid importing page by page into indesign... I have the full adobe CS4 suite so I can work in any of those programs or if there is some free program that will work too.
Thank you!

Apparently, you can't do it in Acrobat 9 .2 anyway. (Make /Print a Pdf from a Pdf or re-fry)
The to do it, use to be, was you make your correction, (example to make a permanent crop) was that you desire the either go to apple's Print to PDF or use AdobePDF printer.

Getting rid of MDT error - for good

Our reference build takes about 7 hours to build too with the WSUS updates included. I guess my confusion is we have never had this issue. But we specifically install IE 11 (before) we run the WSUS updates and not let wsus install IE11 (we did this because when we were developing the reference image we were not running the wsus updates part because it was taking too long between iterations with the updates but we still wanted a fully equipped system for validation). We only enabled the post application wsus updates. There is no other reference to IE in our task sequence. We started with a standard task sequence and then modified it from there. So that is why I'm a bit confused why this setting is getting into your unattend file.

One of those gotchas that I want to kill permanently.
Trouble starts when deploying a patched image - with a version of Internet exploder higher than the original Win7 ISO - seems the stock task sequence always includes "skip IE welcome message" - a deprecated setting - so unless I remember to tell it not to write that setting, the first deployment always bombs, I swear, hose the setting, and move on.
Anyone know if the base code can be altered so the standard client task sequence has this setting removed? The only time I go back to the ISO is to build a new patch image, and hence this little time bomb only exists to whizz me off?

How do I cut a circle shape out of a block of text in Illustrator?

I don't like the effect area type tool gives so I want to do it manually i.e. have a box filled with my text then put a circle over it and cut everything except what's in the circle. I don't want a mask though, I want it permanently cropped.

Yes to end up with partials. I'm wanting to making the word "worlds" into a circle, that is an eillipse filled with instances of "worlds" text in it with no outline in the ellipse. It doesn't matter that parts of characters will be lost.
Similarly, I want to do the opposite, have a page filled with text and cut a shape out so the emphasis is on the cut shape (in this instance it's a palm tree shape) again it matters not that parts of some of the characters in the text will be cut.

Review Itunes When my credit card dont work?

I know about the "free" way to open a new account but i want my main mail adress to work with this so i wont bother to do make a new mail adress just for this. I was thinking if it works to buy a gift certificate to review and open the account permanent without troubling with my creditcard that wont work.
Thanks for helping /// Jon K

Hi Jon,
You can try contacting iTunes Support to see if they'll activate your existing Apple ID with a gift card and without a working CC. Please post back if they do it for you or if you get the same response as ktbee.

Trouble getting a 16:9 video in Premiere to burn to DVD without cropping

I am using Adobe Encore CS5.1 and I am having trouble burning a 16:9 DVD. Everytime I create the DVD, the video becomes stretched and the footage is off-screen. I tried a couple different transcoding methods, but the best I could do still had some footage stretched off screen. I tried the DVD on my computer and DVD player, and both had the same issue. The video uploaded fine to YouTube, not cropping at all, so what do I have to change in order for the whole video to appear on the DVD? Movies do it all the time, so how do i get it to work? This is the first time in my six years of using Adobe that I am confused enough to use the forums, so needless to say, I'm stumped LOL
Thanks, hope I can figure it out.

Both files were exported from premiere correctly, because when I view them on youtube they look fine.
That does not follow. Youtube retranscodes them, and will display an HD movie just fine. If you do the HD to SD downrez incorrectly, they will not be correct on a DVD.
I still don't know whether you are doing HD to SD and whether you are brining HD into Encore. Give me more to work with.
I assume your avi and flv are the source material you are exporting from in Premiere. What are you transcoding them to (I.e. the transcode settings)? What are the pixel sizes from and to.
Does the asset show "Do Not Transcode" under the DVD transcode status column in project settings?

Having trouble with the move tool not working.... also I cannot seem to crop.... my cloud says I'm up to date, should I
