Question for graphic artists about PDF Portfolios...

I'm finding it difficult to get a graphic portfolio PDF under the required 5mb without sacrifice a little too much in quality.
Could the graphic artists in the house with portfolio PDFs let us know what their Photoshop PDF export settings are? (more specifically, DPI and JPG settings)
Naturally, this is for screen. But the people opening these files who ask for portfolios in PDF format will likely have quality gear.
Thanks!

graph,
What about the forums under the list What do you need help with?

  • About PDF Portfolio layouts in Acrobat X

    I would like to know if Adobe would release layout that is less cost CPU?
    I found myself that the latest PDF portfolio is TOO sophisticated for my computer + I need / use more simple PDF Portfolio layout which release in version 8 & 9, especially "• List with File Preview: Adds quick previews to List View "
    OR
    could someone tell me how could I install the layouts of ver. 9 into ver. X?
    Thanks

    At this time I can't say if there'll be "in-product" additional layouts, but we gained some extras for Acrobat 9 in the mid-cycle patch and there's no reason why the same thing can't happen again.
    AcrobatUsers.com is also hosting a Portfolio Exchange where users can contribute their own templates, layouts and themes. Right now the content is for Acrobat 9 only (as the Acrobat X SDK has only been out for a couple of weeks, developers haven't had the time to get to grips with it yet) - however in the months to come you can expect a lot of Acrobat X content to be added, some of which will come from the programmers at Adobe.
    As to the speed of display updates in edit mode - I agree it's more CPU-intensive than it was in Acrobat 9, and that's an unfortunate consequence of the complexity of the new navigators. As you've already seen it only affects the edit stage, as once the portfolio is saved, displaying and reading it is much faster in Acrobat X and Reader X.

  • ATTN: Question for Graphic designers using new 24" aluminum imac

    I am about ready to replace my 2001 G4 867 Quicksilver. Are you happy with the screen and overall build quality? I mainly use photoshop, indesign and illustrator in that order.
    The Mac pro is now too expensive an option for my budget. I read a lot about screen discolorations but would like some feedback from pro users who have adopted this machine.

    Well I'm a graphic designer and student. Recently purchased a 20" aluminium iMac, fantastic piece of kit, and despite being smaller compared to the 24", the resolution is still really high and there is lots of workspace. Many seem to recommend the 24" though and part of me wishes I had got a larger screen instead, but the 20" size is actually better than fine.
    The only problem is, since release last year, all the latest iMacs are having display issues. I didn't know anything about this before purchasing my iMac and expected a higher quality from Apple. They all seem to have gradient issues where the bottom half of the screen is abnormallly brighter in the 20", the left side is brighter in the 24", and also some reported yellowing in the corners. Apparently, more people have reported problems with the 20" than the 24" though.
    If you look through these forums, you will struggle to find one person who actually has an iMac without this issue.
    Unfortunately, for graphic design use (eg Photoshop, Indesign, etc), the iMac's current state is useless. I am writing this on my current iMac and it is impossible to see a full solid colour across the screen at any angle, no good for design use!
    Not sure what I'm doing with mine yet, refund or get Apple to fix it...

  • File size goes from 54mb to 214mb for my 250 page pdf portfolio upgrading from 9 to X

    I have a 250 page portfolio created in 9 pro. When I upgraded to X, the file size went from 54mb to 214mb. Anyone know why this would increase by 400%? And, have i made a big mistake upgrading to X? What can be done to keep the file size somewhere near the original 54mb? Each pdf has 1 jpeg and a bit of text.

    Hi "lampmaker". I'd suggest logging a bug for this and being as detailed as possible about the contents of our portfolio. The form for bug reports can be found here https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&promoid=EWQQL

  • Adobe design question for barcodes and including PDFs

    Hi all,
    I am new to using Adobe LC ES 8.2. I have been reading this forum and it has been very helpful. We have certainrigid requirements for our application that is making it difficult to come up with a clean solution. I am hoping this forum will be able to answer some of my questions:
    Use case: Our application needs to mail correspondence to users (printed PDFs not fillable forms). We plan to use Adobe LC ES Designer to design all the forms and Assembler Service to assemble the documents together. The plan is to merge the templates with XML business data dynamically and then assemble them. When the documents are assembled together, documents to be assembled include Cover Pages Templates, Notice Templates, Attachments (could be templates or static PDFs) and decisions that will be converted into PDF from an RTF document using Adobe Professional 8. The user creates the document in RTF and convert it into PDF using Adobe Acrobat Professional and store it for assembly process. Our Print Shop requires the entire assembled mailing to have bar codes on each of the pages with the following information:
    1 D 3of9 barcode - JOB ID (can be sent dynamically) +  PIECE ID (number of mailing) + SHEET ID (page number with in the PIECE ID - front and back of the page get the same number)
    Following are the questions we have:
    1. What ways are available to apply the bar code to the assembled document as one piece of information in the bar code is the SHEET ID for the entire mailing? I would know the total number of pages only after assembly.
    2. If there is a way to manipulate the barcode information after assembly, I am not sure how we can handle bar coding the Decision PDFs that will be converted from RTF using Adobe Professional 8.
    Please advice.
    Thanks.

    Thank you. So, using Form Services we can manipulate the document (barcode object) after assembly.This is great.I will look into this. When we spoke to Adobe, they wanted us to complete all merge prior to assembly and said we cannot manipulate the document after assembly.
    How would I handle a barcode for a PDF that has been converted into PDF from a RTF document? My concern is that even if the RTF has a barcode, will it be a format that can be manipulated after it is converted into PDF by the user and submitted to the assembly process?
    One of my ideas is to maybe convert this PDF into images and include it in the XML data as base64 images and merge it with an Adobe Form template having image fields. This is not a clean approach and I am very concerned about performance issues with the size of the data XML.
    The other thing I am reading up about is "Underlaying pages" - http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/ddxRef/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=0012 71.html#1548394&accessible=true
    Any ideas?
    Thank you so much.

  • Questions for online experts about heat / fan / temp in dv1432us

    hi there online experts,
    i have an hp dv1432us.  fab little machine.  works great.
    lately the fan was running a lot (almost constant) so i vacuumed the fan inlet and blew air in the outlet.  fan now cycles on and off every minute or 2.  everest sensor software says CPU is at 52-59 degrees celsius. 
    questions:
    1) is it normal for the fan to cycle on and off every minute?  in other words, what is a the normal amount of fan running for this machine?
    2) what is the normal temp range for this CPU (and hard drive, while we're talking baout such things)
    given that info, is it time for a major cleanout of this thing?  will the possible heat buildup cause damage if i do nothing? 
    3) if i am ever so careful, should i take this apart and clean it?  it's been 5 years of a lot of hours of use. 
    4) can i disassemble it down to the heatsink without major risk of ESD damage?   I have home-built many case PC's, so i am not a newbie . . . how risky is it to take this thing apart and clean that heatsink?  
    eagerly looking forward to any and all info,  best, justin

    justinlockehp,
    A couple of good documents on hp.com address this issue:
    Fan Runs Constantly, the PC Operates Slower than Expected and Generates Heat
    Reducing Heat and Fan Noise by Cleaning Air Vents
    1) This can be normal depending on the amount of work the notebook is doing, the amount of heat being generated, and the fan control algorithm in the BIOS. 
    2)  I don't have the specific range for the PC or components but I can tell you that todays notebooks are much warmer than they used to be.  The GPUs and CPUs generate much more heat than ever before.
    3)  Use the instructions in the document above, anything further would probably be more work than required.  However, the instructions are here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00636251.pdf.
    4) ESD damage is always a risk and will void any warranty that you may have.  My advice is to stay grounded.

  • Question for the moderators about KT400/MSI

    ive seen the overwhelming number of posts about this mobo, i cant help but wonder. WHEN is msi coming out with a good bios to fix all the memory probs/file transfer probs/ati 9700 probs? ive posted my problem numerous times and everytime i get the PS answer. ive read countless other posts where thats the advice you give the poor soul who also has the same model and problem (misery loves company!!) so they go out and waste more money getting a 500 watt PS and still have the exact same problem. is MSI ignoring their customers? are they listening? do they know how jacked up this chipset is? is their answer going to be "get a bigger PS"? im tired of waiting. im NOT going to fool around with a "BETA" bios either. thats just plain asking for trouble, and i cant afford to have my computer down. it costs me money/time. whats the answer? i am thinking of asking one or two of the bigger hardware/internet news sites this same question. maybe getting that kind of attention would rattle MSI into an answer because they dont seem to be able to answer emails very well... MSI has got to get on the ball.

  • Question for Database EXPERTS about implementing an Embedded Database

    One of my current projects is to implement a Embedded pure java database with a smaill subset of SQL. Since I estimate it will take me at least 400 man hours (based on my intial unfinished attempt) to build something robust and usable, I thought I'd ask my fellow java folks for suggestions. The SQL and parsing is no problem, but the best way to implement the records structure is. My first approach would be to represent each table in a seperate file (file defined as a standard OS file). Each record would have a fixed byte length, say 256.
    A seperate definition file would containt the column names, type, and maximum byte length for the column. So the data file would be a repetitive list of 256 byte rows, some arbitrary byte value could be used as a 'filler' for the part of a row not being used. When a row is deleted, the entire row is merely overwritten with the filler. The next inserted record would then take its place.
    String types, numeric types, and small strings would be written directly to the data file at their appropriate byte offset from the start of its respective byte row position.
    Complex or large data types like multimedia and memos would merely have a filename string pointing to another file. Things like security and encryption (hopefully) could be added on later. My main concerns are about how to implement an efficient indexing algorithm, and how to minimize the space required for each table, while maintaining simplicity.
    Furthermore I currently plan to use the most basic and common classes to implement this (Java I/O API, and of course some of the SQL API to implement JDBC). Any advice on other APIs that may benefit this? Any red flags come up yet?

    One of my current projects is to implement a Embedded
    pure java database with a smaill subset of SQL. [ ... ]
    fellow java folks for suggestions. The SQL and parsing
    is no problem, but the best way to implement the
    records structure is.I once (1981) did it this way: a database file consists of consecutive pages, all of equal size; say, 4KB per page. Every page consists of consecutive cells; every cell can store a short, so 2K cells can be stored in a page.
    Cells in a page serve two purposes. From the bottom to the top, the cells represent offsets in the page where the records are stored and from the top to the bottom the cells are used for the actual data. The first cell of the page contains the offset to the first free cell in the page; the second cell contains the offset to the first occupied (data) cell in the page. Any record offset cell containing zero (0) is a free record offset cell.
    This scenario implies that the maximum record length is 4KB - 4*3 bytes.
    A record takes up one offset cell, as many cells that are needed for the acual data, preceeded by a cell containing the length of the record. The offset cell contains the cell number where the record starts (the length cell).
    Records are addressed by their page number and by their cell offset number [PR]. The R number points to the cell containing the actual offset of the record. The [PR] number doesn't change during the lifetime of the record. (this is important).
    Inserting a record is easy: find a page with enough room and store the record in that page. If no page is available, add another page to the database file. Deleting a record is simple too: delete the record, zero out the offset cell and compact the data part of the page. Updating a record is a bit more complicated. If the record size shrinks, stuff is easy. If the record size grows, and it doesn't fit in that page anymore, another page has to be found. The old data is removed and a small 'indirection record' is inserted instead. This new record contains the actual [PR] number where the new (larger) record is stored. The original R cell has a few more bits available. 2K different numbers take up 11 bits. The cell itself can store 16 bits, so one bit can be used, indicating that it's not pointing to an actual data record, but its offset is pointing to an 'indirection' record instead. Some careful fiddling takes care that subsequente updates of a record keep this indirection stuff limited to just one indirection (this is true, believe me).
    Pages are loaded in core, and swapped out whenever necessary. Every loaded page has a page number and a 'dirty bit' attached to it. Whenever this bit is set, the page has to be written back to disk if it needs to be flushed from memory (due to memory exhaustion etc.) otherwise, the memory can simply be released. A simple LRU (Least Recently Used) list does wonders here.
    B-tree records can be stored as ordinary records too; this implies that the indexes of the tables (a bunch of records) are ordinary records too. Note that these spare 5 bits (one taken indicating an 'indirect' record) can do wonders here. As a matter of fact, a bit indicating that its cell is pointing to a B-tree node came in very handy. And still three bits free for other miracles! ;-)
    I better quit before I turn another message into a novel again.
    kind regards,

  • Question for Ali Brown about split partition

    Ali:
    I thought that I was posting a new topic by changing the subject line but I saw that it didn't work--but it was already up in lights . . . . It's an amazing race, eh? Thanks for your previous reply, glad it's easy to do--please, informa me . . . . While replying to Warren P about his printer issues I saw that you are running a split partition in one of your computers. I have an Imac G4 with 10.1.5/9.22 that perhaps one day I'd like to bring up to 10.3.9, but keeping the OS 9 side intact. Is that a GUI type exercise or did it take a special program? I haven't look at Disc Util in my iMac to see how that might be done, nor have I searched Apple Database . . .. Seeing your hardware info just piqued my curiosity. Any links to info about how to do what you did?? Thanks.
    eep

    Hi Again eep!
    As I posted in the previous topic, my HD is not partitioned.
    OS 9 & OS X exist together, and my iMac is Dual-Boot.
    When I upgraded from 10.1.5, I did a Simple Update to Panther 10.3.x, and eventually updated to 10.3.9.
    Some info in these links:
    Mac OS X 10.3 installation (FAQ).
    About installation options. Basically the same for Panther 10.3.x.
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
    If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
    Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade on them.
    Additional info in these links.
    Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
    What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
    Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
    Before upgrading to any OS X version, check to see if your Mac needs a Firmware Update.
    If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
    Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
    If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
    And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.

  • Question for Creative staff about final X-Fi dri

    I was wondering if you guys are going to release the portion of the x-fri drivers for Vista that we could get for XP off of the CD. By this I mean the nice little GUI that we could mess with treble and bass and all the other setting that is not that base function creative audio console you get with the web drivers. I ask this because I li've in an apartment and it is absolutely necessary for my to turn the bass off on my sub woofer AND in my drivers at certain times and as of now with the creative audio console in vista I cannot do that. I want the little knobs back guys! Also i think it is only fair you guys re-create the full software package that was for XP on the cd that came with the card as that is the kind of ease and functionality we paid for. The only reason I am not on vista now is because I cannot easily control my bass and treble witht hat creative audio console and I'm not even kidding!
    Thanks for your time!

    You can adjust bass in windows audio mixer!!? Or dont you know how to do it's? Its not that hard... Takes exactly the same time to do that? But sure i agree, CL should atleast fix the Mode Changer/Console Launcher for Vista.. But i dont think they will do that, or not until the drivers are working. If the drivers take 2-3 months just to get in order, how long do you think they will take to make the more "complicated" software?

  • Question for the Gang about various Approvals

    Hey Gang,       First off let me say this site has been wonderful and I have learned alot. NOw let us get down to business.. In the last week or so I have applied to a few banks because much to my horror my oldest accounts are set to drop off this year (Some of my oldest accounts that will stay are my brother's student loans so I applied to the following places. 1) US Bank approved for $5,0002) Citibank approved for $4,9003) BMW Card approved for $4,5004) Bank of America approved $12,000       Is it normal to have a tight grouping (4,5K to 5K) and then a 12K? Before these my highest were my Chase 15,8K and my dual BarclayCards of 10K each. Or is it the opinion of the group that BOA is looser than Citi and US Bank? ThanksFee Edit   I just realized I missed joining the 100K group by $1,300

  • Does Office Web Apps 2013 supports PDF Portfolio Documents

    Hi Team,
    Could you please let me know whether office web apps supports Adobe Acrobat X PDF Portfolios (Preview PDF portfolio files through OWA 2013 in SharePoint 2013).
    Thanks!
    Bharat
    Thanks! Palani K

    Hi Bharat,
    Quote from the link you provided:
    The original files retain their individual identities but are assembled into one PDF Portfolio file. You can open, read, edit, and format each component file independently of the other component files in the PDF Portfolio. Depending on the circumstances,
    PDF Portfolios offer several advantages over merging multiple files into a single PDF.
    Since the issue is related to third party product, I'd recommend you also contact their support engineer for more sufficient resource and assistance.

  • PDF portfolio search not working in Reader for Linux

    I have a PDF portfolio with embedded index created using Acrobat 9.5.5 running on Windows 7. I can search this portfolio without any problem using the windows versions of Acrobat 9.5.5 or Reader 11.0.4, but when I try any of the same searches using Reader 9.5.5 for Unix on Ubuntu 13.10, the searchs never terminate. The search window appears, but the spinning circle at top right of the search window just keeps spinning and no results ever appear. I've left it for half an hour without any results appearing. The same searches on Windows complete in a few seconds.
    The portfolio in question is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0rzh9t1oo0vx2ib/lilydoc-2.17.29.pdf (it's created from the various PDF manuals that make up the Lilypond documentation).

    Hmm. Sounds like something went wrong with the links. Are they spelled out (using http://www....etc) or are they hyperlinks? If they are spelled out, you could have your version of Reader set to recognize links and they may not (Edit>Preferences>General>Basic tools - Create links from URLs).
    To create links in ID, highlight the text, go to your hyperlinks pallet and in the drop-down select "New link" and fill in the appropriate information. Then when you export it to PDF from ID, in the "General" settings section under "include" select "Hyperlinks".
    There are other options you may want to be aware of but that's better asked about in the ID forum.

  • Whats the best way to produce PDF output for Graphics

    Greetings;
    I posted something earlier which received no replys, so I figure I probably asked the wrong question.
    I have recently migrated an application over from Delphi and I have to admit that I'm not as familiar with using Java and Graphics as I wish I were - I'm learning fast though..
    Anyway I have an bufferedImage object in which I am drawing a few lines, pasting some text, and drawing circles and such. I currently am saving the file as a JPG using the following snippet of code:
        try
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
          JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(fos);
          encoder.encode(myBImage);
          fos.flush();
          fos.close();
        catch(Exception e)
          System.err.println(e.toString());
        }I've seen a few posts about PDF which all seem related to Text and printing as such - in fact the only post I've seen about converting a JPG to PDF seemed to circumvent the whole graphics object - which isn't a choice (I don't think it is) in my case.
    Can anyone just provide me the best direction to look for this?
    Thanks again;
    Eirik..

    Ouputing PDF manually can be large undertaking, i would recomend you refere to the many open source project of apache to use a pre-built method of output.
