Saving as a PDF -How do you make the PDF not bigger than the original file?

I am running Mac OS X Panther.
I understand that Mac OS X creates a "Digital Master" PDF file, which is larger than a typical PDF file because the resolution of images in the file is not scaled down. The PDF file includes each font character used in the document.
Problem is this.
I actually want the PDF NOT to be bigger than the original document file.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks
J Slater

jslat,
It's probably most important to know exactly what you intend to do with the saved pdf file? Are you going to need to print the pdf etc.?
This Apple Knowledge Base article may help if you haven't already read it:

edit: You have posted in the 10.3 Panther OS and earlier forum and you appear to be using 10.4 (Tiger) by your computer specs below your topic which may handle pdf's somewhat differently. In your post you mention Panther so I just wanted to clarify if need be.

Newbie Question... How do you make sure java can find all the imports

Hi everyone,
I am new to Java and so far I really like it. But I am having problems porting applets to my websites. How can you make sure that all the references can and will be found in the applet...
for example,
I import javax.media.ControllListener in a project I am using and it works great in the applet viewer but when I try to port this to my website I'm working on, java can't find it. I really would appreciate any help on this cause then I would have java power :) and will keep me from losing my hair :).
Thanks for those who help me.

Hey jwenting,
Thanks for the quick response. Classpath definitely makes sense so I have been reading up on that... But do you include .classpath file in your website too? And how would you reference it if you need to reference it?

How do you make an Pdf searchable?

I just paid for the $24 version of Adobe solely so I can make pdf files searchable.
Still can seem to figure out how to do this.
Would appreciate any and all help!
Thnx
dlm

Hi dlmilla,
Adobe PDF Pack performs OCR (optical character recognition) when you convert a PDF file to Word or other formats. But, it doesn't perform OCR when you create PDF files. If you have a PDF that you want to make searchable, you need to use Acrobat.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara

Sort Artist field: how do you make it's data appear in the Artist list?

Usually, if I have an album by a particular artist already (e.g. Paul McCartney) and then add another which I want listed under the same artist (e.g. Wings), then there's no problem. I would just enter Paul McCartney in the Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist fields for the Wings album and I'd only have Paul McCartney listed under the artists (in List View).
However, occasionally this doesn't work and I want to know how to sort it. I imported an album by The Jacksons, entered Michael Jackson in the Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist fields, which resulted in The Jacksons being listed amongst the artists alphabetically as if Michael Jackson, although still displayed as The Jacksons. I then imported a Michael Jackson album and entered the same data in the same fields, and although the albums were displayed together and alphabetically listed as if Michael Jackson, they were listed amongst the artists as The Jacksons. I want to see Michael Jackson listed. I have it that way in 2 other libraries. I think this has occured because I entered The Jacksons' album first in a library which contained no Michael Jackson and therefore The Jacksons have taken precedence. How can I sort this?

As I see it the *Album Artist* field should keep tracks of an album together when different Artists are credited on an album. It does work this way in iTunes but not on most iPods. The *Sort Album Artist* field is used to control where that Album Artist is listed among others. e.g. to control whether "The Beatles" get sorted under "B" or "T". While linking different Artist values with an overal Album Artist makes sense, I don't think that the logic of Sort Album Artist was ever intended to merge different values of Album Artist.
Apple don't appear to be working to resolve this issue since it has been evident for quite some time. The workarounds I suggest in the post linked above will give one cover in cover flow, one album in the albums menu and one artist in the artist menu if applied consistently.
With your Paul McCartney/Paul McCartney & Wings issue for example, my preference would be to use the original album artists as credited. Otherwise change the Artist & Album Artist to "Paul McCartney" and then, if you wish, add \[As Wings\] to the album title or individual tracks. If you used Sort Artist & Sort Album Artist to make "Micheal Jackson" sort as "Jackson, Michael", "Janet Jackson" sort as "Jackson, Janet" and "The Jacksons" as "Jacksons" then all the related artists would be listed in the same place, but remain distinct.

How do you make a contact photo bigger?

When I select a person in my contact list, it shows a little picture, name, phone number, etc. The pictures are too small for me to see. How do I make the pictures bigger? I tried tapping on the picture, doing the two-finger motion to zoom in, etc.

There is no way to change the size of the contact photo. If the person calls you will see a full screen image of them.

How do you make a back-up copy of the OSX Leopard Install Disk 1?

I'd like to make a back-up copy of +Leopard Install Disk #1+ but I only have one DVD read/write machine onboard the Mac Pro.
Can I insert the Leopard DVD, copy it to my desktop, remove it from the drive, insert a blank DVD and burn the contents to the blank DVD?
I'm trying to create a simple bootable Leopard DVD that will enable me to (a) boot up, then restore my System HD from a Time Machine Archive; and/or (b) run +Disk Utility+ from a source other than the main System HD if necessary.
I know I can do these things from the original Leopard Install DVD but I'm trying to preserve it and use it as little as possible in the event I need to reinstall Leopard.

In addition to Malcolm's instructions I want to point out that you need a Dual Layer
DVD+R (or -R) for this. Those are quite flaky and some might not work or not work well when you burn them. I was recommended Verbatim DL DVD+R as being reliable. try those.
also, instead of burning to a copy of the install Disk 1 to a DVD you can clone it to a partition on your hard drive. Just make a small partition, insert the DVD, select it in Disk Utility and click on "restore" tab. select the DVD as the source and the partition as the target and hit "restore". this will give you a very fast bootable installer right on your hard drive.

How do you make iTunes read updated tag data from a file?

This is such basic functionality that I'm sure I'm just missing it. It used to be the when I modified a file using a third party application (or editing a shared library using iTunes running on a different machine), all you had to do to get those updates into iTunes was select, hit "get info" and click OK without changing anything. That broke in 9.2 - it still recognized that the file has changed and adjusts the Date Modified field, but doesn't actually update any of the fields.
The revised tags don't get updated until you either Get Info individually on each file, play the file, or modify the files. So realistically, there are no workarounds - the first two aren't realistic for a full library and the latter trashes your modification date and causes the refresh to take hours to complete if the library is on a remote server, rather than the ten minutes it used to take.

Hi,
I've written a script called UpdateTagInfo which should do the trick for you. Just select a bunch of tracks or an appropriate playlist and call the script. It will process each track, updating the tags if they've been changed externally. When complete it will tell you how many tracks were processed & how many were updated.

Printing separations to pdfs, how do I make separate pdf files instead of one multipage file

Every day at least a dozen times I print spot color separations for film through the print dialogue to pdf, and every single time I have to either print the spot colors one at a time, or open the multipage pdf in Acrobat and use the clunky extract page function to get separate files. I've been doing it a long time and it drives me bonkers, is there any way to just get it to print separate pdfs?
Then I have to rename each sep to have the color in the file name. If there was a way to automate that I'd find myself with all kinds of spare time on my hands. I could go to the gym, lose some weight, possibly live longer.
Thanks in advance

I send them to clents remotely. I don't print the films myself, other people do it. Most of the time those other people don't really know what they are doing, and are under killer deadlines, so I make the files as simple and comprehensible as possible.
Also the files need to get ganged up for filmsetters occasionally, so if we have a bunch of left chest prints (3 inches wide by less then an inch tall), for instance, we can put them all on one 11x17 piece of film by drag and dropping them into an ai file. To save film.

How do you make XML tags display differenty than content?

I am using Structured FM for the first time (prior experience is Epic Editor) and I am using it with SiberSafe. I cannot locate anywhere in Help or on the toolbar a feature that enables me to "turn on/off" tags from displaying. What I see is all text, with no font/color differentiation for the tags. Does FM 9 enable users to do this? And if so, how do I do this? Thanks!!

What I mean, what I am looking to do in Adobe is discern actual content from tags, as displayed on the screen. Currently in FrameMaker, and unlike Epic Editor, all of the tags and content appear the same - same font type, same font color. This makes it harder to read and differentiate between the tags (even though they are in brackets) and content which slows down my progress. If I could make all tags a different color, that would help tremendously.

How do you make a template from muse to the bc?

The tag is {tag_pagecontent} and the above link will step you through forming the template.

How do I start to make a file into a PDF file?

You create the document using Word, Excel, Illustrator, InDesign, ..., then convert it to PDF.

How do you make menuTabs open a new inside the tab selected?

Hi all, I am very frustrated with menuTabs because it won't allow me to open a new page in menuTabs instead it opens my page outside of my tabs . I don't understand why this functionality is not available when all other tab controls function this way. I looked at the showOneTab component thinking may do the job.
Any help would be appreciated,
