Problems making High Quality PDF file

I am working on an identity project and the pdfs keep coming out with the type looking thicker in areas .
also placed logos (vector art) are appearing Odd for example- the letter"i" in the corporate logo appears thicker on screen and in general the type is not at all crisp.
I actually was speaking to a adobe tech person who said she was going to get back to me about this problem and has not (over 2 weeks now)
I am desperate at this point to make a good quality pdf that will look like it will print
Any sure fire suggestions?

Not sure what you mean by that I am on my own system (not working on the cloud))
How do I fix?
Only on your own system.

Creating a HIGH QUALITY pdf file?

I've just installed Acrobat 8.1 on Windows Vista and I can't find the quick way to create a **high quality** PDF from Microsft Word. The final PDF file sizes are tiny, and not good enough standard for printing. Any pointers much appreciated. Thx.

Also, when you say "and not good enough standard for printing" are you talking about creating PDF's to print on a desktop printer or are you talking about PDF's to send to a print house?
If the latter, I'd strongly suggest you talk to the print house and ask them what settings they prefer.

How to generate high quality PDFs?

Hello everyone,
Before I am told to use Google or search this forum for answers to my question, let me say that I have already done that. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution.
My problem: Microsoft Word produces low quality PDFs rendering my work useless. The PDF fonts look nothing like those in Word, nor does the spacing. The same problem appears when I try to archive a word file, which is shown perfectly in the Preview box, as a PDF file. This makes me think that the PDF generator engine in OS X has a problem.(?)
The only solution I have found: InDesign - the abundance of quality choices allows for a high quality PDF generation.
Now, is there really no other way to generate high quality PDFs from Microsoft Word or the Preview? Do I have to recreate all my files in InDesign to ensure a high quality PDF output?
I thank you for your time and answers beforehand!

CarmeloX,
you can use Photoshop 7 and PageMaker 7 (with two updates). Really no problem
in Windows XP. Probably a problem in newer operating systems.
Photoshop 7 is equipped with a very reasonable Color Management System.
For PageMaker you'll need a Postscript driver and Distiller. Please ask here:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/pagemaker_general
This combination works perfectly, unless you want to handle so called live transparency.
Standard on/off transparency (PostScript) is fully supported.
Then it's possible to create perfect PDFs for inkjets, wide format inkjets, toner printers
and offset printing (PDF/X-1a for instance).
Almost all docs here were made with Photoshop CS2 (or older versions), PageMaker 7,
MathType and the PostScript editor PSAlter for technical illustrations:
http://docs-hoffmann.de/howww41a.html
Only recently I had converted everything into InDesign CS2 and newly converted to PDF.
I've installed as well CS6 (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), but mostly I'm using CS2.
By the way - here you are not directly talking to Adobe ...
Good luck and best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel.

I am having a problem converting a scanned pdf file into Excel. I do not get the columns and rows to align, just a single column of everything. Any suggestions?

Export makes use of what is "in" a PDF.
Good export is the "silk purse" and, ya know, you canna make a silk purse from a sow's ear (which is what any scanned image in PDF is with regards to export).
The quality of export is dictated by the quality of the PDF. We are taking about the "inner essences" of the PDF (e.g., degree of compliance with the PDF Standard - ISO 32000-1).
So, what goes in goes out or "GIGO".
This has nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat's export process.
A well-formed Tagged PDF (compliant to ISO 32000-1 & ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1) provides a PDF that proactively
supports content export by Acrobat.
To get the good stuff from export you start with a well-formed Tagged PDF.
Goodstuff In — Goodstuff Out
or
Garbage In — Garbage Out
"GIGO"
Be well...

Need advice on a saving file issue. I'm having problem with saving a .pdf file to computer. Continually get an error message " This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21). This is new as this error message just recently started to pop-up.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

High Resolution pdf files

How do I convert a pdf file with graphics and text (created from a MS Word Doc) into a high-resolution pdf file suitable for print media?

In the printer properties or the preferences for PDF Maker (create PDF), select either the press or print settings file. That should do the job.

Why the apple told about this system for the new iphone 6 but the mine no see the change...?1:28 p.m. Wi-Fi calling is a new feature for making high-quality calls when cell conditions are poor.

Hi apple. in the Keynotes about the new iphone you say..
1:28 p.m.
Wi-Fi calling is a new feature for making high-quality calls when cell conditions are poor.
The question is Work That? i no see the change for me POOR signal here on my office..
my carrier att. have very Poor Signal here on Aguadilla PR.. i take this PHone for this keynotes about the wifi calling is a new feature...
please i need a new respont.. and check the security about iphone Someone call reply the text messenger from the Block area.

It sounds as if you only had one line with an upgrade available. So you can only upgrade one line. For you to upgrade as well, you will have to wait until your upgrade is available. You can check that at MyVerizon. That's just how it works. All carriers and phone brands are the same. I have to wait until February to upgrade. The only thing you can do to get the new iPhone, is add a new line. But then you're paying for a line you don't need.

Problem viewing and printing PDF files in Preview

I have a document that was created in Adobe InDesign (CS4) with a photo that was converted to Grayscale from a CMYK image in Photoshop (CS4).
That document was then Exported from InDesign as a high print quality PDF.
Now when I open the file in Preview the photo appears on the screen as a "Negative" or "Reversed" image. And if I print the document, it too prints as a "Negative/Reversed" image.
I don't know if this matters but if I send this document in Apple Mail it too previews as a "Negative/Reversed" image.
Other that this photo everything else in the document (text and color logos) displays and prints fine.
Any ideas?

I have exactly the same problem with PDFs containing bitmaps created by Illustrator CS3 (and CS4) -- the bitmap appears as negative.
It has to do with the compression method used for the bitmaps in the Adobe PDF creation. If it is JPEG or JPEG2000 the problem occurs, if it's ZIP or no compression, the image is fine.
If have reported this to Apple as a bug already.
10.6.2 has NOT fixed this behaviour.

InDesign Transparency Effects - Problems with Image Quality and File Size

Hello,
We are experiencing new problems exporting InDesign files to PDF.
To summarize, though our largest workflow is to create files for offset printing, we also deliver our work to PDF for mounting on a website so our clients can download directly from the web. Our new problem is Transparency Effects, and creating a PDF that will both have a high quality (or resolution), and be a small file size.
We are working with multiple page documents (24 to 48 pages), and would very much like to work with InDesign Transparency Effects. However, after spending much time testing a variety of PDF types, we are finding there is a radical difference between quality and file size. I was curious if anyone has had these problems, and if there is a simple answer. InDesign is an incredible program that allows us to design on the fly with Transparency Effects, but, if we are going to experience these problems, we will have to eliminate these wonderful tools.
Can you help me or lead me to information online that will help.
Thank you,
Lain

Please don't post in multiple forums. Your question has nothing to do with the PDF language and specifications, but rather PDF workflow or InDesign. I've responded to your other posting and am closing this thread.

Why are the colors (red mostly) in my Press Quality PDF file darker than Original AI file?

Hi,
I am new to CS5 and have been doing a lot of researching and testing saving AI CS5 files in "Press Quality" PDF format. When I preview the PDF files in MAC's Preview application (will get Acrobat Reader as well) everything looks nice and crisp, but the colors are a bit on the dark side compared to my original AI files, namely the burgundy. Needless to say, I am only using CMYK and the resolution has been set to High.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi again John,
Now I am sitting in front of the right computer and I just checked the CMYK profile in AI and it says: North America Prepress 2. I found the following tutorial on the internet and this guy says that it is best to use a CMYK profile called BEST WORKFLOW which is supposed to accurately display colors across all platforms. In the tutorial, he also added that if you do not see this profile listed then you should Load (directly from the CMYK profile window) it from your computer. However, I was unable to locate this profile on my MAC and since this tutorial is based on AI CS2, I am unsure if I can use it.

Which CMYK profile would you recommend that I use?
Many thanks,
Diane

Better quality PDF files

Can I get better qulity PDF using combine files to single PDF? most files are PNG files.

I usually put together a multi-page PDF using png files, but the quality is not as good as the png itself. I thought maybe there is a setting for higher quality display such as creating a pdf from InDesign.

Problem with color in pdf files

My documents contain color logo.
Whenever converted into pdf file, I always see color logo in the pdf files.
Today, the logo came out to be in black and white.
I repeated many times even with Adobe PDF (printer driver).
But logo came out in B & W.
I am wondering how to fix this problem.
I currently use WinXP Pro SP2-Acrobat Pro 7.10.
NOte: Last week, v. 7.09 was updated to 7.10.
I wonder this update contains a bug which produces B&W image.

Please ignore this post.
I would like to ask the moderator to delete this post.
(note; I found that theproblem has nothing to do with pdf but with the original xls invoice douments).

Problem while opening a pdf file

Hi,
when i try to open a certain pdf file directly by clicking on the link, the reader hangs up.
when i start the reader and try to open the file directly after that, the reader hangs up.
But when i open the reader, let it run for a minute or two and open the file then, then it works fine.
Anyone got an idea what the problem is?
