Real resolution of a book saved as PDF

Please, does anybody know the real resolution of a book saved as PDF?

http://www.apple.com/aperture/print/
Apple prints the books ordered from Aperture at 300
dpi, so I guess the pdf file has at least that
resolution.
Hope you don't mind I ask, why do you need to know
its resolution?
Hi Eduardo.
Don´t mind, really don´t mind;-)
This compositions are vey useful to me in order to print them in bigger sizes and then expose them in my studio.

  • Need to reorder iphoto book saved in a pdf file--how?

    I have a book I created in iphoto on a computer I no longer have access to. I saved the book in a PDF file format and have that on a disc. How do I submit this to Apple for a reordering of the same book?

  • When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF?

    When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF? Currently when I have a Framemaker book that I want to save as a PDF, I choose Save Book As and then choose PDF for the file format. A dialog box comes up in which I can choose the Bookmarks tab and choose which tagged content I want to be made into bookmarks in the PDF file. What if I would rather have the filename of a document rather than the chapter title be a bookmark in the PDF? Is that possible? Where would I choose that option? Thanks!

    There are two ways that you could do this. You can either use postscript text frames and enter the correct pdfmark entries to show the file name with the corresponding actions (i.e. where to go in the PDF) or you can use hidden text in FM and the "Filename (Short) " variable in a unique paratag to be picked up by FM's bookmark creation.
    To go the pdfmark route, see http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/pdfmark_primer.pdf for details and also consult the Adobe Pdfmark Reference manual (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfmark_reference.pdf).
    The hidden text route would use FM's Color Views to specify a colour as Invisible. This will make the content visually disappear from the screen (and any output), but FM will still be able to read the contents of any text that is coloured with the Invisible colour(s).
    1. Pick or create a colour that you want to be invisible. [Magenta is usually a good bet and stands out visually].
    2. Set that colour to be invisible in View 1 and visible in View 6. [you can use the shortcut <esc> v 1 and <esc> v 6 to toggle between the views.]
    3. Create a paratag to use for the filename and set the font colour to use the invisible colour.
    3. In the title of each chapter file, drop an anchored frame that is set to be outside of the text frame [so it won't interfere with any other content].
    4. In that AFrame, insert a text frame and use the invisible paratag defined in step 3.
    5. Insert the Filename (Short) variable in that text frame.
    6. Repeat steps for all files to be included in the bookmarks.
    When creating the PDF bookmarks, select only the paratag used for the invisible colour.
    Don't forget to toggle the View to be invisible (i.e. <esc> v 1  - this also works at the book level for all files in the book).

  • After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?

    After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?
    I have tried to convert the pdf to Word instead but same difficulty with numbers: look like numbers but not usable for calculations

    Excel has a 'text to numbers' function, I would use that.
    Convert text to numbers. Microsoft Excel.

  • Can I get a Lightroom 5 Blurb book saved as a PDF on my desktop reloaded into LR to make edits

    I made a Blurb book with Lightroom 5 saved it (I thought) in Lightroom and as a PDF on my desktop.  When I got a print copy back from blurb I want to make edits.  When I went to find the book in LR5 there was no sign of it.  How can I upload the PDF version on my desktop back into LR5

    I don't think that would be possible. Once you exported the book as a PDF file, that file had all the edits, selections, layout, etc. "baked in" to the PDF, so you can't then reverse-engineer the file so it can be re-opened in the Book module. Also, as far as I know LR doesn't support PDF in the various modules - it can only be used for certain exports that are intended to be used elsewhere.
    Do you have previous catalogue backups? Perhaps the book is contained within one?

  • HT1040 I have an iphoto book saved as a PDF file, how do I order the book from the PDF file?

    AGGHHHH! I have just finished hours of work, making an album on iphoto. I finally finished placing about the 300th photo, all cropped, edited, etc etc. I wanted to check that all the photos were in, so I hit the "clear placed photos" button, thinking it would just leave me with any I'd missed, & instead it wiped my whole album!! Is there any way I can restore it? If not I did save it as a pdf file. How to I purchase the book using the pdf file?

    The way is to restore it is to restore your backup from before this happened - that is why you must have backups
    As to purchasing form a PDF - not from Apple - check for web wervices who claim to be able to  - google brings up sites like PrestoPrint - not recommended - not tested - simply found

  • FrameMaker 7.0 & Distiller 5.0 - Saving to PDF crashes application

    FrameMaker 7.0p579
    Distiller 5.05
    Windows XP SP2
    Weve been unable to save FM files to PDF. I uninstalled FM, rebooted, reinstalled FM 7, and loaded patches 576, 578, 579. Now we receive this error message, after which the application just shuts down
    Internal Error: 7004, 6055410, 7658227, 0

    Anis-
    1. Since I was the only one to offer Scott an alternative to try printing to a single file with a PostScript Printer added and generating a PDF using Distiller to see if he still was getting error messages, who are you talking about when you said "isn't that exactly what was recommended?"
    2. May I suggest that you re-read your FrameMaker manual and FrameMaker online help as well as review Acrobat online help on PostScript Printers. No were does it say that the only way to generate a PDF is using FrameMaker's "Save Book As...".
    Also no were does it say that a valid PostSCRIPT printer as a Tektronix 550 as I suggested is "inappropriate devices for postscript generation for PDFs" I think Tektronix would certaily question your statement, as would any any ProstScript printer manufacturer.
    There are still service providers that use PostScript printers and RIPs that have PostScript printers set as their default printer. These business still use PostScript files to print with.
    Adobe notes that there are more than 25 oem vendors that distribute PostScript throughout the world, where installations now number more than 20 million.
    If you go to Adobe's web site and search on "PostScript Printers" there are 1780 results. If you do a search on "Postscript Files" there are 9310 results. The first is "Create PostScript Files for Create Adobe pdf Online" and the 4th is"How to Create PostScript Files for Files in a FrameMaker Book".
    Are you trying to tell them not to use their PostScript printers by saying that this "can lead to problems for imageable areas, fonts, colour and transparency, postscript level, resolution, etc.?"
    Here is what Adobe says about Creating PostScript files (This info directly copied from FrameMaker's online help)
    Saving documents and books as Adobe PDF
    You convert a FrameMaker document to Adobe PDF by setting options in the PDF Setup dialog box, and then saving the document as PDF. You can also print the document to a PostScript file, and then convert it. For information on printing to a PostScript file, see "Creating PostScript files" on page 36
    You can create a description of a document called a PostScript file (also called a print file). You might use a PostScript file to download the document later to a PostScript printer or to send the document to a service provider for typesetting. In addition, you can create an Adobe PDF file;...
    Distilling PostScript files manually (Windows, Mac OS, and Sun Solaris)
    If you have Acrobat Distiller installed, you can convert documents to PDF files by creating a PostScript file and then distilling the file yourself. By using Distiller, you can explicitly set some advanced settings having to do with compression, font embedding, and color conversion. However, saving as PDF (see Saving documents and books as Adobe PDF) is often faster and more convenient and produces excellent results. In fact, if you can set up Distiller Job options beforehand, they become available in the Settings section of the PDF Setup dialog box in FrameMaker. Also, if you're working on a platform where Distiller is not available, you can create the PostScript file and then move it to another platform to distill it there.
    To distill a document or book to a PDF file:
    To ensure that Distiller will be able to process the resulting PostScript file, use the latest version of the AdobePS printer driver (installed with FrameMaker) and the Acrobat Distiller PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file. Any other PPD file may be incompatible with Distiller.
    Do one of the following:
    Open a document and choose File > Print. In Mac OS, also choose FrameMaker 7.0 from the pop-up menu below the printer name.
    Open a book and choose File > Print Book or File > Print Selected Files. In Mac OS, also choose FrameMaker 7.0 from the pop-up menu below the printer name.
    Select Generate Acrobat Data to include the settings, and then click PDF Setup and set up the PDF file.

  • OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF. then 2.  need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that

    OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF; then 2. I need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that??
    I had been saving as a PDF and then reducing the size of the PDF by printing it as a PDF with a degree of image compression. I write manuals with a LOT of screen captures and line art that needs to be clear. So it is a balancing act between image clarity and PDF size. The PDFs on the web need to be smaller - sure you can undertsand.
    Anyway, when I print the PDF again, I lose both my destinations and bookmarks.
    Anyone know of any way to avoid that?

    Control the images by creating a custom PDF Job Options and then selecting it in the PDF Job Options drop-down of the PDF setup dialog box (File > Save as PDF...)
    Create the custom PDF Job Options file with Distiller. If you do not have Distiller, open the Printing Preferences of the Adobe PDF printer. Start with the Smallest File Size Job Options settings and Edit.

  • AcroPro9, snow leopard, "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported"

    Hi,
    I have AcroPro9.1.3 (and 8 and 7 and Dreamweaver CS3, and probably other stuff too) on Snow Leopard (10.6.1).
    I've read about de-installing the Acrobat printer and using "save as Adobe PDF" from the PDF button on the print menu.  However, when I try this, I'm told "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported".  Note that this is AcroPro9, not AcroReader.  I get the same message when I try any of the other options under the PDF menu on the printer menu in Acrobat.  In other applications, tho, (eg powerpoint), the PDF button works fine.
    Before the upgrade, the PDF button on the print menu didn't work either (same message), so I used the Adobe printer, but now I can't.  I had always assumed that AcroPro was stopping me from using Apple's PDF generator in favour of the Adobe one.  But maybe some of my settings are wrong.
    I now cannot print to PDF from Acrobat.  Help.  There are 120 fourth year software engineering students who will appreciate any help I get, as I can then post my recent lecture notes for them.
    (What I really want to do is to take my powerpoint slides and print 4-up versions directly.  But the PPT idea of 4up wastes a lot of space, so I generate 1up PDF, and the 4up PDF from that using Acrobat.  At least, I used to.  It was so much easier in the old days with Latex and psnup ...)
    -- Mike G.

    My current solution is to print from Preview instead (which will let me use the Adobe print facility, unlike Acrobat itself).
    In fact, I pretty much have no need for Acrobat at the moment.
    Adobe and Apple between them seem to have some real problems with Snow Leopard.  I can't get Dreamweaver to run anymore without immediately crashing (yes I looked through the help forums, deleted settings, etc etc).  So I'm now looking for a replacement tool for Dreamweaver and will likely use that from now on.
    Adobe is not looking very good to me at the moment.  YMMV.

  • Unable to export book layout to PDF or BLURB! Using Lightroom 4.4's book module on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    After investing a bunch of time laying out a photo book, I would like to generate a PDF in order to proof it before sending the book to BLURB for printing. After numerous attempts, I am unable to generate a PDF of the book or, by clicking the 'Send Book to BLURB' button, access the sign in window for uploading to BLURB. Although, if I create a new book (without images or text) I am able to access the window for saving it (the blank book) as a PDF to my hard drive and I am also able to access the sign in window for uploading to BLURB. I could sure use some help. Please let me know what I might be doing wrong! Thank you very much.

    You're running PowerPC code under Rosetta emulation on an Intel based system -- and Rosetta has become increasingly unstable (and Apple got rid of it in 10.7, so they won't be fixing any of the bugs)
    Your best solution is to upgrade to an Intel native version of Photoshop.

  • Indesign Book printing from PDF

    hi guys,
    woundering if anyone can help me.
    i have created a book/magazine in indesign and wanting to take it to a print shop tomorrow to get it printed.
    i need to have the document saved as a pdf.
    how can i save the book as a pdf so when i take it to get printed it will come out the same way as it would printing through indesign.
    thanks
    chad89

    thanks for the quick reply.
    im going to be perfect biding the book will this make a diffrence or will it be best to talk to the printer?

  • Signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    Do you mean the drop-down list that shows up when you right-click on the signature (in the Signature Panel or signature field)?
    I do not think that just saving a PDF with no changes would result in that unless you somehow flattened the PDF.
    Can you see the signature in the Signature Panel? Can you expand ([+] at left) the signature? Does the Signature Panel provide info for this signature? Is the signature validated? If "yes" then is the signature status Valid?
    It could be that when you saved the file you somehow flattened the signature, so that now you have only signature appearance in the PDF but not a real signature field which contains all signature properties. If the Signature Panel does not contain your signature (enpty if your signature was the only one) then this is the most likely cause.

  • What resolution is my book being uploaded at?

    Hi,
    I've read on a few forums that all books uploaded from iPhoto are now uploaded at 300dpi.
    Previous versions of iPhoto were reported to only upload the small books at 300dpi and the medium and large books at a lower resolution.
    Can someone please confirm what resolution the iPhoto books are now uploaded at (for all sizes), and when/if this changed - i.e. what version of iPhoto.
    Thanks,
    Drof

    here are the default settings for iPhoto '08

    <false/>
    <key>BookWarningImageDPI</key>
    <real>130</real>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    Generally the max is 300 dpi and the warning come up at 130 dpi or lower - so it depends on the size photo etc
    If you use your largest photos and if you get warnings select a smaller photo frame in your book you will be fine

  • Cut marks and bleed area saving as PDF

    Trying to figure out how to make book from my location. China.
    I made my book and then I selected print, what I want from here is the ability to save as PDF with crop marks, CMYK test and grey scale test attached to each page. The same way I get it from InDesign if possible.
    I did a small test, wrote something in a lower corner (so the text came outside the image out to the crop area) i saved as PDF and the PDF version was cut resulting in half letters.
    So, it's unusable. In short: Can I get a PDF including crop area?!

    Caveat CMYK!
    Unfortunately, it's still not completely reliable. There are issues with quite a number of OTF Pro fonts not rendering correctly, and with spot colour tints and table fills that use spot colours.
    The upgrade to from COlourChameleon to PubliPDF may be still worth considering...
    Also, with your crop mark issue, how big is the page size compared to the output size that you specifed in the PDF Setup? You have to add at least 1cm to the page size to give it room to place the crop marks.

  • Why is that saving as PDF increase the file sizes?

    Hola
    I've been notice that when I save a file as PDF, in CS5  it increase the file size to double that before.
    Even saving it with the same setting than before.
    For example, most of my Business Card file that I sent to print, use to be 1.5 or so megabytes
    Now if I open the same file, --or a new file-- and save it, it will increase it to double that size
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hola and Thanks for your help
    Ok, I've been using Photoshop since version 6 or so (around year 2000)
    Just upgrade to CS5
    Before, for example, I'll make a file in PS, merge the layers, open a new file whit the same dimensions, resolution etc,
    and save this file as PDF to send to printers.
    Tthe file(s) that I have or were create them in CS4, than saved as PDFs have a file sizes of 1 to 2 megabytes as average.
    The NEW files (in the same sequence) that I create now, have an average of 3 Mbytes
    Even do, I save them with the same --I believe-- setting in PDF
    There's may be a new feature in PDF save dialogue box that I'm not getting?
    or, it just more information that it is put into?
    Thanks
