Poor Quality of PDF pages with Folio Builder

Hi,
New to DPS. First impressions are very good.
However, when adding an Indesign page to Folio Builder as an article with the format set to PDF(to enble pinch and expand on iPad), the tiff images that are included in the Indesign page are displayed in very poor quality??
When I change the format to PNG or JPEG, in the article, the same images are displayed on the iPad with excellent quality - however, I dont have the pinch and expand functionality, which is what I require!!
I would really appreciate any solutions or suggestions on how this issue can be resolved.
Indesign CS5.5, MAC OSX 10.7, iMac

Which iPad are you viewing your test articles on? Remember that the resolution for iPad 1 & 2 is 1024px x 768 px, while the iPad 3 resolution is 2048px x 1536px. Your images need to be formatted accordingly. Also check your image scale parameters. Anything above 100% scale of the original image will reduce the image quality. You can check this in InDesign before you ever test your article on the device. Simply press Command+1 to view actual pixel size and set your Display Performance to High Quality and you should be seeing something very close to what the final result will be. Also check that your images are RGB as well. Hope this helps.

  • Extract PDF pages with it's actual page numbers...

    Hi scripting gurus,
    We have more than 40 of PDF documents each document contain multiple pages. Using Acrobat Professional 7.0 and 8.0 with MAC platform. We have the script to extract the pages and to suffix running numbers with the document name, please find the script below. For example CH01.pdf document total number of pages is 10, but the actual page number starts with 11. So We have to extract each pages as individual documents and the page number will followed by document name with "_" separation, (Eg: CH01_11.pdf). I have tried so many ways to include the page numbers with the document name but i can't.
    /*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
    var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
    var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
    for (var i = 1, j = 0; j < numPages; i += 1, j += 1) {
    extractPages ({
    nStart : j,
    nEnd : j == numPages - 1 ? j : j + 0,
    cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/"+startName+"_"+i+".pdf"
    So please can anyone look into this and help for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    First of all, replace numPages with this.numPages
    Also, this doesn't make any sense:
    nEnd : i == numPages - 1
    I have tried what you have said above, but it is not working. Its showing the same error (missing ; before statement)in 4th line of the script.
    Please find the complete code below;
    // see if we need to define a global offset first file
    if(global.fPageOffset == undefined) {
    var global.fPageOffset = 10; // start at 10
    /*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
    var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
    var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
    for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) { this.extractPages ({ nStart : i, nEnd : i == this.numPages - 1 , cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/" + startName + "_" + (i + global.PageOffset) + ".pdf" }); }
    // add finished file's number of pages to global page offest
    global.fPageOffest += this.numPages;

  • Problem with Folio Builder - added articles are "spinning"

    Hello,
    today we are experiencing strange problems with Folio Builder. We are adding new artcles to folio created today and all added articles have same issue - spinning wheel in folio builder. Such articles we can't see in Content viewer until we delete existing folio.
    Thanks for help

    Hi,
    Could be that there was a network problem when uploading the InDesign documents.
    Try to select the articles and delete them with the trashcan. And then reupload the documents from InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • Saving a Project In Pages, Images Poor Quality in PDF

    I have just purchased IWork 09, i am new to pages and so far find the software very handy and easy to use to make very attractive documents.
    i have one dilemma though.
    i save a (e.g.) poster in pages, but when i go to open it in PDF Preview, the images that i have inputted into the document are distorted or of a poor quality, when i open them in pages they are fine?.... also when i go 2 open the saved document in Adobe Reader 9, it wont open? i tried taking frames and shadows etc out just in case they are not supported, like in MS Word but still no luck. i have to send flyers for advertizment via e-mail to clients who are more than likely using Windows Xp or Vista.
    if some one could help with
    1. Getting my images to stay good quality
    2. opening it in adobe 9
    it would be very much appreciated

    You can not see which programs have been involved in each compression, but as far as I know, at least some programs store information about both themselves (last edited by) and the compression level in the exif/iptc data.
    The right way to work is to get as much data as possible off the colour capture in high bit and do the exposure correction getting into a normalised colour space either still in high bit or in scaled down 8 bit to save space.
    The pixels should be left alone from this phase and out. It is not necessary to change a single source pixel either in matching to the display, the printer or the press. All of this is done on the fly in memory and not be changing the pixels in the disk-based image document.
    As interchange file format for corrected colour captures stored in the normalised colour space, either use a linearised RGB space or high-bit CIELab. The file format should be lossless TIFF and not lossy JPEG (the way JPEG works internally is lossy by definition).
    Live Picture and Apple Aperture are alike in the way they work. Rather than taking the pixels into memory for correction, which is they way Photoshop worked, they construct a colour managed proxy for manipulation and then provide for a rendering that is non-destructive.
    Live Picture required ColorSync 2 and Apple Aperture is unable to work without colour management for the same set of reasons. Apple Pages is unable to work without colour management for the same set of reasons, although there are additional reasons for Apple Pages.
    Just my ten cents,

  • Export as Separate PDF Pages with Unique Names

    I have an InDesign document that has several pages. I want to export each page as a seperate PDF, but they have to have a unique name that I want to be able to specify.
    For example, I want to export page 1 as "calendar page 2014"
    Page 2 as "Diary page 2014" etc.
    I found some solutions, but they aren't quite what I need:
    Export as Seperate pages with image name
    This apple script takes the name of the first image on the document and uses that as the name.
    However, my document has no images.
    Exportools
    A paid tool that offers many options for exporting. However, the name has to be based on a pattern, which is no good for me.
    I'm hoping that there will be a script that can take the name from a non-printing area/layer. That way, I can just put the desired name on the page and it will export with that name each time.

    have you looked at the extention Autosplit PRO?  This may be what you are looking for.  (Although, I don't think this software is compatable with MAC...but if you find out otherwise, please advise!)
    good luck..

  • Problems with Folio Builder Pannel. I can´t start session

    I´m having trouble with the folio builder pannel, i´m triying to start a new session using my password but i can´t, it says "Error de inicio de sesión [svr.InvalidLogin]", help me please.
    Thanks

    It sounds like an old password has been captured in the auto-login settings and is preventing you from entering the current, correct password. To remove the captured password, so the following:
    1) Quit InDesign and any other CS apps
    2) Use the Activity Monitor to quit the CS5ServiceManager or CS5.5Service Manager
    3) Next delete this file based on version:
    /Users/lnegi/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager/preference/csxs2.pref
    /Users/lnegi/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS5.5ServiceManager/preference/csxs2.pref
    4) Then remove this item from the Keychain Access based on version:
    Adobe-CS-5-renga
    Adobe-CS-5.5-renga
    To remove from the keychain:
    Navigate to /Applications/Utilities and launch the Keychain Access.app
    If the lock icon in the upper left appears locked, click on it and enter your password to unlock it.
    Select the “login” item in the Keychains list in the top left.
    Select “Passwords” from the category list.
    Type “renga” in the search field in the top right.
    Select any matches and press the delete key.

  • Problem with "small black line in right margin" with Folio Builder / Adobe Viewer in Ipad. Id CC.

    Hi there,
    When I create a Folio Builder and I check my Id project in the Adobe Viewer (It happens in the Ipad App and in the Desktop Viewer), I can see a black line in the right margin (maybe 4 px). And I can't adjust my background (It's an object with a colour) to use the "full resolution available for the app in the ipad", and yes, I'm using rules and I can see that my background object it's 1024 x 768. I have tryed several projects and upgraded the project to the "30 version".
    But I'm a new user with ID/DPS. So, is this a reported bug? Or I'm doing sth wrong?
    And for me, the most important question, will this problem be solved when I send my project to the applestore and DPS transform my Folio to the Store? Or what I see now it's what I will see?
    Thanks!

    Sorry! I have found an answer here in the discussion:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5835960#5835960
    So, the problem will be solved in the final app, and it's just the scroll in the Viewer.
    Thanks!

  • Poor quality Export for HD with moving objects

    When I export from iMovie6 any moving image is very poor quality. I am using a Sony HDR-HC1 and trying to export at the highest possible settings.
    When the image is still the quality is very good, but if anything moves the image goes "wobbly" and "jigsaw" like. Panning shots are hopeless and anyone walking in the shot goes wobbly.
    The original capture image seems fine, so I assume it is an exporting problem. Exporting at lower setting, ie for an iPod, the image is great.
    I have tried all different setting, some are better than others.
    Can anyone help?

    Your description of the problem - a 'comb' effect - sounds as if the "fields" which make up the resultant picture have been put together in reverse.
    (..You don't normally see 'interlaced' video in iMovie's playback window - you normally see just a single field of the two, to make the picture clearer and simpler to display..)
    [..A video picture's generally made up of two "fields" which each comprise half the number of lines down the screen: one field comprises the odd-numbered lines, and the other the even-numbered ones. Your exported video should be encoded with the lower (2nd) field first ..as described in this Apple document ..and the problem's mentioned here as well..]
    However ..you said in your first post that "..I am using a Sony HDR-HC1 and trying to export at the highest possible settings.."
    This is an HDV camcorder, and you didn't say if the original footage which you shot was HDV or normal DV. (HDV is recorded differently from normal DV, as it's recorded in a more compressed format, and it has to be automatically 'unscrambled' by Apple's Intermediate Codec while you're importing it into iMovie HD.)
    It seems as if somewhere along the chain of importing>editing>exporting, the fields are being reversed, so that you get this jumpiness on replay when QuickTime tries to deliver a "highest quality" interleaved replay of both fields:
    Ah ..sudden thought: you mentioned that you exported thro' iDVD: "..I have used iDVD by dropping it into a DVD theme and it seems to work ok, although the playback is a little jumpy, not quite as good I would have expected.."
    You may have left the iDVD settings at their default 'NTSC' instead of switching them to PAL.
    Check your iDVD Preferences ..that may be the problem.

  • Very poor quality on photos made with iphone 4

    Since a few weeks i've noticed that photos made with my iPhone 4 have a very poor quality. I've upgraded to IOS 4.3.2 thinking about a software problem, but the quality is still very poor. It´s like out of focus. I submit a just made photo. Any answer? Thanks a lot.
    This photo is made with original photo app and no zoom.

    Only thing I can think of is a focus problem (which could be software) or a lens with some junk on it that causes some blurring.
    Can't offer a solution but can make some suggestions.
    Take  different types of pictures and, just for variety in case it reveals something, take two of each - one touching the screen and then one after touching for comparison.
    Do close-ups and distance shots.  Do indoor and outdoor, with and without flash on the indoor - again, of the same thing so you can compare.
    Might reveal a pattern.  If all are bad, then it probably goes back to the lense or software not working.
    If some come out fine, it would seem to reduce the chance of it being the lens being dirty or something.  On the other hand, if close up shots look good but distant ones don't, it could be either software or the internal focusing hardware isn't adjusting enough for distant shots.
    Just some things to consider.

  • Problem with Folio Builder sign in

    I'm working on Indesign CS6 and I've updated my DPS desktop tools, in their version 29.0.0, but the Folio Builder don't let me sign in. What can be the problem? Thanks

    After several hours (4+) trying every combination described here and elsewhere, what ultimately worked was uninstalling ALL Adobe software and starting from scratch.
    1.  Uninstall any and all Adobe software:
    Adobe AIR
    Adobe Flash
    DPS App Builder
    Adobe Creative Cloud
    Adobe InDesign
    Adobe Photoshop
    Adobe Illustrator
    Previous downloads of installers
    Etc.
    2.  Clear all system and user caches, preferences, bootcaches, kextcache, etc.and reboot (whether necessary or not; just for good measure).
    3.  Run the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to confirm everything was removed.
    4.  Reboot (whether necessary or not; just for good measure).
    5.  Confirm no Adobe affiliated process is running in the Activity Monitor (or Task/Process Viewer in Windows).
    6.  Download a new clean installer for Adobe Creative Cloud.
    7.  Cross fingers.
    8.  Install Adobe InDesign.
    9.  Reboot (again, just because).
    10.  Install Adobe InDesign updates (which should download the necessary DPS tools too).
    After all this, the Folio Builder finally appeared and began working again for my computer. 

  • Bug in PDF generation with Report Builder CF8

    Hello
    there is a bug in the calculation of the left margin of a
    page.
    I upgraded from MX 7.02 to CF8. My "old" Reports worked fine,
    but when I export them to PDF an print them the left margin is
    different.
    I'm using metric settings in the Report Builder. I created a
    new Report with Left Margin 2 cm and a single Field with the left
    Property = 1 cm (0.9879 cm). The printed paper with these poperties
    where fine. I could measure appoximatly 3cm . But if I use Report
    Left Margin = 1.27 cm and Field left Property = 0.35cm. The left
    margin of the printed paper is only 1.1cm.
    So it depends on the choosen Values of report left margin and
    the left property of a field.
    Does anybody else have the same problem?

    I found this posting as I have now "rediscovered" this issue. I came to the same conclusion - edit ALT TEXT for every image.
    However, I think it is confusing that these paths of image file are not considered Personal Information that can be removed using the Inspect Document feature (I tried - was not successful). The list of things to be removed using this wizard is quite extensive
    - and some of them less visible than these file paths.
    It would be interesting to know if this is going to change with future updates of Word. Why is an ALT TEXT included at all per default? I think using the file path in ALT TEXT should be made optional. Is there a way to turn off this default embedding of
    the full path?
    As the OP I also used Office 2013 on Windows 7 64bit.

  • Limit records per page with Report Builder?

    Is there a way with the report builder to limit the number of

    ...Brad

    I guessing here but there must be a bit of php code that you can edit that limits the number of records to be displayed instead of the default value of 10.

  • Poor Quality in iMovie 09 with Stills

    I've read through many posts and found some solutions, but the question to begs to ask: Why, when doing a movie with pics from iPhoto, is the final output quality so freaking poor?
    My pics are upwards of 9MB apiece originally. I realize they get compressed through the process. I can do a 15 minute video on a DVD, and iDVD burns it to about a third of the disk. Why can't the program (either iMovie or iDVD) calculate the pics and only compress to a certain extent?
    When I play a finished product on my Mac, it looks pretty good. But when I convert it through iDVD and burn it to a DVD disc, the output on my HD (yes, I realize THAT'S part of the issue) looks horrible. Aliasing is ridiculous.
    I tend to save the files to the highest output and put it on my media player. However, when I want to share the final result with friends on DVD, I'm slightly embarrassed. The quality is just too poor.
    I'm open for any input. I realize you can't burn high def to a DVD, but surely there's a better solution. Maybe iMovie 11?
    Thanks in advance.

    I make slideshow movies using still photos exclusively. Here is the process I use when I want to make a DVD from an iMovie project.
    In iMovie I set the ratio to 16:9 and I also crop many of the photos in iPhoto to 16x9 (HD) - this works best for pictures in landscape; it's not good for portrait photos. Also, cropping this way doesn't work for all landscape photos either: sometimes I lose details that make the photo 'good' and so just leave it uncropped.
    When the project is finished I choose Share>Export using QuickTime and click "options". In "options" I use the following:
    Compression: H.264
    Quality: Best
    Frame rate: 29.97
    Frame reordering: yes
    Encoding mode: multi-pass
    Dimensions: 1920x1080 (HD)
    Scale: Letterbox
    I use either iDVD or Roxio Toast to create a DVD.
    The issue of the quality of DVDs made from iMovie projects has often been discussed in this forum. The process and settings I use may not be strictly kosher, but I do get good quality DVDs this way and so I stick with them. My projects are usually between 20 to 30 minutes in length.
    I hope this helps.
    (I haven't tried iMovie 11 yet.)

  • [solution inside] Poor quality of DVD created with iDVD '08 (jerky movie)

    Hi everyone !
    I have a problem with the export of iDVD, the result is jerky.
    Here's what I done
    - filmed (cam sony 42E, DV)
    - imported to iMovie '08, exported to the media navigator
    - taken in iDVD and burned on a DVD simple layer in professional quality
    And it looks like the movie is 15 images/s (but apparently no problem of sound)
    I checked everything's in PAL (I'm in Europe)
    I checked with another DVD
    I checked the large selection in the navigator (720 * 540, H.264, 25 fps, 4Mbps)
    I tried with "best performances"
    I tried to cut the movie : 72 min -> 35 minutes
    I exported just an image disc
    Nothing fixed the problem
    Finally, I exported from iMovie in .dv then integrated the file in iDVD and, this time the result was the same as in the preview (thanks to SkyDrinker for the tip)
    So this is a solution, but this is strange :
    or my iLife is corrupted, or the way Apple say to work (with conversion in h.264) is not good.
    Did anyone else had the same problem ?
    Thank you for your feedback.
    Take care!

    I had the same problem with jerky pans and dancing pixels particularly when using Ken Burns on stills.
    Here is a solution. Save the 08 movies in Quicktime using AIC encoding then burn using Toast 8 with the quality slider set to best. The improvement in quality is substantial.
    There is some improvement(not as much as using Toast) using Quicktime AIC encoding then burning with iDVD with Professional Quality and dual layered DVDs just to make sure the quality indicator is well into the green.
    The disadvantage in using Toast as compared to iDVD is that the cool menus are lost.
    PS: All my burning is done using NTCS but it should not make a difference.
