Save As PDF shrinks text font size unreadable

Just "upgraded" to Yosemite yesterday and starting to regret ... at least after the latest of today's hiccups.
Latest trouble: just converted a single page Word document to PDF to share with clients [Print > Save As PDF],
but discovered in horror that PDF conversion shrunk the font to an unreadable font scale & blurred letter head.
Same issue when testing PDF conversion in TextEdi
t.
The same Word document converted just fine in 10.8.5 yesterday, with no noticeable difference between document original and PDF version.
Also, older PDF documents still render okay when opened in Preview and/or Acrobat.

Update: I have run additional tests today, seems like it's a font that is creating the problem:
I use Merriweather, which suddenly convert to shrunken size in PDF, but if I convert the document font to something more generic, e.g. Courier New, the font size remains accurate in the PDF version.

Menu and tool bar text font sizes?

Is there any way to change the menu and tool bar text font sizes?

If you are talking with refernce to photoshop elements then let me tell you there is no option in PSE to change "Menu and tool bar text font " sizes. This option exists in Photoshop in Edit>Preferences>Interface."
Thanks,

Photoshop Save As PDF Settings Text loses 100% Black or Color Density is too High

I am taking a CMYK Photoshop file and saving it as a PDF for a magazine.
By request, the company has asked that the color density does not exceed 260%. In the output setings of the Save Adobe PDF dialog box, under color, I have:
Color Conversion: Convert to Destination
Destination: U.S. Web Uncoated v2 (told to me by the magazine to use)
Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
When I create the PDF, SUCCESS!!! it works where the color density is under 260%.
I verified in Acrobat Pro X by going to View / Tools / Print Production / Output Preview with the following settings:
Simulation Profile: U.S. Web Uncoated v2
Sample Size: 3x3
Total Area Coverage checked and set to 260%
HOWEVER, when I do this, the text goes from CMYK 0 0 0 100 to using all four colors. I have been recommended by the company to keep pure back on the text due to possible registration errors.
If I export out to PDF using the "PDF/X-1a" (inside photoshop pdf export), then I can get the text to keep 0 0 0 100 but the color density goes way over 260%.
Has anyone had this problem? I cannot get the color density to stay under 260% AND keep the text to 100% black.
Any help is always greatly appreciated.

Thank you Mylenium for your reply. What you have said makes sense but I am not sure how to implement it. I did a google search on Photoshop Multichannel mode and I did really find anything helpful or relevant.
I tried playing with the multichannel just the same. I made a copy of my photoshop document first (just in case I screwed up my file) and I converted it to multichannel mode from the current CMYK. (Image / Mode / Multichannel) Under "Channels" I looked at each layer (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) individually and the text and other black areas in question were only on the black channel as it should be. Now that I am in multichannel mode, I cannot "Save As" a Photoshop PDF file so I had to do a Print to PDF option. I used the same export setting (or as close that I could tell) that I was using before and I still ended up with the same problem. My color density is under 260% but my black text is using 4 channels.
I also noticed that when I converted to Multichannel mode, the color of the image did change / shift a bit which also has me a bit worried.
Can you describe how I am to implement Multichannel mode to get my desired output? Also, can you elaborate on "custom channel for text blacks"?
I appreciate the help, thank you!

Export to PDF - margins and font size

Post Author: LisaConsult
CA Forum: Exporting
Using Crystal XI I programmatically perform an export to PDF. The PDF appears to have larger margins around the document and a smaller font size of text when compared to printing the same report to the printer or PDF distiller. The application is distributed to client workstations. Is there anything that can be done to resolve the issue? Thanks

You may need to check the Font's. Even though you may be sending ( and I am just making this up ) Times New Roman 12, the PDF may be using Times New Roman 10.
Anyway, the export to PDF does not support all the fonts that you can use in CR.... Or at least it does not appear to.

Will Adobe ever fix the UI text font size issues in CS6 apps?

Having recently installed CS6 on my new Windows computer, I find some serious issues with font sizes in the user interface (and not only in Dreamweaver, but in several--but not all--the applicaitons). You'd think that with a 27-inch screen, font sizes wouldn't be a problem. And you'd be wrong.
The irony is that some text is properly sized. Commands in the menus. For example. But the menu names are not. The text of items in the File tab is correctly sized, but the name of the File tab is not. In the Manage Sites dialog box, the title bar text is properly sized, but the text within, including button labels, is not. IN almost all of these cases, text is just plain way too small to read. It looks like the programmers made a HUGE boo-boo: they sized text in pixels, not only a no-no in web diesgn, but a no-no in applicaiton design.
Because on a 27-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080, UI text in Dreamweaver is all plenty large and readable, while on a 27-inch screen with a resolution of 2560x1440, UI text all over the applicaiton is too tiny to read--and made worse by putting the text on a gray background, reducing contrast, yet another design no-no.
CC is NOT an option--and properly should not be for any occasional user. Do not even think of suggesting it as a "solution."
This is clearly a bug (did Adobe do any testing on higher-resolution screens before releaseing CS6?), and one I wonder if it is unique to Windows systems (as Apple has had similarly high-resolutiopn screen for its displays and iMac lines for quite some time now). Or is it uniquely a Windows 8 issue?
Finally, is there at all a workaround? I can find nothing in the Settings dialog box that would control the size of UI text. Perhaps there is a text-based configuration file that could be modified to change the size of UI text. (Yeah, having configured autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, and similar files back in the day, I do know my way around configuration files--if they are still used.)

What made you think that you should complain to Adobe about Windows display problem? Adobe and Microsoft are two different companies competing against each other.
However, you might have display problem and the best way to resolve this is by going to:
Control Panel >> Display
Follow the online instructions.
Please not, you go to control Panel from within the windows itself NOT from DW.
Hope this gets you started or you can ask in the Windows Forum on Microsoft Website.

Static Text - Font Size

I have a requirement for an Add-On form to make the text larger than normal (larger than than all the other forms) as it needs to be read from some distance away.
it_STATIC items do not have a FontSize attribute, is there another way of overriding the font size for static text items?

Hi Garry,
try with
Form.Items.Item("stZero").FontSize = 20;
where stZero is the Unique ID of static text.

Auto text font size

Is there a way to set a text box so it keeps all the letters within the box at the maximum font size?
for example:
set a box 4x1 inch
type a 4 letter name and from the start of the first letter to the end of the last letter be 4 inches
then type an 8 letter name and from the start of the first letter to the end of the last letter be 4 inches again.
My Dymo label maker software can do this. surely illustrator can too!
if not, is there any scripts / alternatives?
Thanks!!

Jamie,
Sorry, now I believe I understand.
Unless you actually need a box, you may create the text as noermal live Type, then in the Transform palette set the desired W (width) value and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to keep proportions.
If you need a box, you may:
1) Create the Type normally;
2) In the Appearance palette flyout click Add New Fill/Stroke, depending on which kind of box you want;
3) Drag the new Fill and/or Stroke down beneath the Characters in the main Appearance palette window and set the desired Color(s) and possible Stroke Weight;
4) Effect>Convert to Shape and tick Rectangle, then set the Relative>Extra Weight/Height as desired (maybe 0), depending on how much you want it larger than the Bounding Box (you may set a positive value for Weight and 0 for Height);
5) In the Transform palette set the desired W (width) value and Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to keep proportions.

Text font size

Does anyone know of an app or other way that I can increase the size of the font in text messages? Thanks in advance if you are the person that knows the answer to this question.

Will this app allow you to change the font size in all aspects of the phone, like your contacts, and all other things that appear on the screen. I hate having to get reading glasses out every time I need to use the phone.

How can increase text/font size iMac late 2012

I am a new iMac user so forgive my ignorance! I cannot get the font size on my 21 inch iMAC to increase and am having a hard time reading the screen? Can anyone tell me the way to do this please?

But why no font adjustment I wonder?
Actually, there is.... sort of: Open a Finder window...Click on the gear button upside down triangle>Show View Options: This window has settings for icon sizes and font sizes. The largest font size is 16. Hint: The larger the icon the larger the fonts. When done, click the Use as Defaults button.
Another hint: System Preferences>General-Turn off text smoothing for font sizes___and smaller. The number 12 works great for me.
My personal setup: Display=1600x900, Finder (windows) icon size=112x112, text size=16

Web App Designer - Graph - "Data table" text font size

Hi,
In the graphs, I am showing the data table by using this piece of code.
<param name="SHOW_DATATABLE" value="X"/>
How should I control the font size of the text displayed in data table.
Thanks
Gova

Oh, my mistake. I thought you were talking about the table. The graph fonts are not maintained in a stylesheet. You have to go to the graph element (double click) and make changes to the fonts there.

Convoy 3 texting font size

I JUST ACTIVATED MY CONVOY 3, AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I ENTER TEXT IN A MESSAGE, THE FONT IS VERY SMALL.
WHEN I SWITCH BETWEEN "NORMAL AND LARGE FONT SIZE" IN THE SETTINGS, THERE IS NO CHANGE. I NOTICED IN THE REVIEWS ON VERIZONS WEB SITE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME ARE NOT. IS THERE A FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THIS PRODUCT? I DID GET AN UPDATE FROM VERIZON, BUT NO CHANGES WERE MADE. I WON'T BE ABLE TO USE THIS PHONE AS IT IS.

When you say you ordered the phone before the holidays, do you mean Thanksgiving or Christmas? If you bought it between Black Friday and Christmas, you should still be able to return or exchange it, i.e.,
All device and accessory purchases made between 11/28/13 and 12/25/13 may be returned or exchanged through 1/15/14.
If you purchase a device or accessory from Verizon Wireless between 11/28/13 and 12/25/13 and we offer it at a lower price, we will match the lower price through 1/15/14. Depending on how you purchased your device or accessory, simply contact us as soon as you see the price difference in one of the following ways:
If you purchased online at VerizonWireless.com and we offer a lower price online, call 800-922-0204.
If you purchased in our store and the store is now offering a lower price, return to the store.
If you purchased from us over the phone and we offer a lower advertised price, call 800-922-0204.
All other provisions of Verizon Wireless' Return and Exchange Policy still apply.
