Saving as a PDF with a bleed...

Is it possible to save a Pages file as a PDF with a bleed to send to an offset printer?

Hi Bezbo
Welcome to the forum.
No. You would need to create an oversize document with crops drawn as master objects.
The printer will then need to inset their RIP software to correctly determine the page boundaries. So use a fixed 10mm or 0.375".
Be aware this is not the only limitation of Pages for commercial offset or digital printing. It is really not suitable on many key points, the main one being low resolution output (72dpi) to .pdfs with transparency, shadows or reflections. There are also no spot colors and the color management is difficult to follow, apply and determine if executed.

Place AI / PDF with a bleed

Hi,
We have some artwork created in Illustrated, and the image extends off the page to create the 'bleed'
We need to place these images in to Indesign, and keep the bleed - however, when placing the file into indesign, it seems to always crop the image down to the page size of the illustrator file, and lose the bleed.
any suggestions on this?
Thanks

jonshutt,
Do you check Show Import Options when you place ai/pdf? There are Options: Crop To. Choose Bleed.

P.S. I'm with CS3, but as I remember in CS2 things were the same.
Edit: Sorry, but Bob is right. The workaround is on the Illustrator side. I prefer to place pdfs instead and that's why I made the mistake above.
Maybe you can print ai files from Illy to PDF with Crop Artwork: Artwork Bounding Box and then place the pdf in InDesign as described above.

Printing two pdf's as a SAME SIZED pdf with FULL BLEED?

i have Adobe Acrobat X and Preview (Lion and Mountain Lion) and i need to take two pdf documents and print them so that they are one document.
i am finding preview to be pretty fantastic but when i try this with two differently sized pdfs that are full bleed i am finding that preview is printing them both at the same size (great) /except/ with large white borders around each page. OTOH, when i try to do this in Acrobat X i am finding that it does the full bleed part but prints each page of the document at a different size because the originals are different sizes.
for the moment the Adobe forums don't have an answer for me and i am wondering if it is possible to do this in Preview or some other similarly convenient way.
i also made an attempt to resize the larger one in photoshop so it was the same size as the other one but this resulted in very large rasterization.
any help would be appreciated.
TIA

Not with Reader no.
Best I could think would be to place them in an InDesign or Photoshop document, make the needed adjustments then print them.

Problem saving Reader extended PDF with Javascript functions built in

Afternoon
I have created an interactive PDF in Livecycle with built in Javascript functionality. I need users to be able to complete and save the PDF so have saved it as a Reader extended PDF. The problem I'm having is that when a user completes the form,saves it, and then opens it again the Javascript functionality is not showing despite showing the original selection that the user has made. The Javascript is simply a dropdown menu that will show a different table based on the selection so isn't anything major.
I've trawled forums and this is driving me mad so I'd appreciate some help.
I am using Adobe Pro XI.
Thanks in advance
Ben

Problem printing to pdf with marks & bleeds on from cs4

When i check 'All printer's marks' on the print dialog screen the preview whites out and i get error message 'the pages selected to print are all blank'.
Does anyone know why this is?

You are right one artboard I do not know what I was thinking.
I have seen the problem once posted here before, but I cannot recall
the cause and cure.
But you can try copying the artwork to a new document saving that
document with a new name and then see if it is still happening.
You might try to do a search on the forum for your problem.

CS3: Is there a way to save work as a PDF with crop, bleed, & cut marks displayed?

I dont want to print it but just want to save the artwork and email it to someone so that they can see where to cut and the bleed areas are located?
Is this possible with PHotoshop CS3?

I gather you are talking bout Pages 5 but haven't said:
Menu > File > Set Password…
But this may not apply when converted to Word

Saving as a PDF with Active Web Links

I need to save Word documents that have active web links in them to PDF files. When I save them to PDF, the links are no longer active. How can I save them with the web links in tact?

You need Adobe Acrobat to do this (the Professional version, not the free Acrobat Reader or the OS X Print to pdf function. The software is rather expensive, though. There are less expensive versions (Acrobat Elements) but these only run under Windows.
You can also use Adobe's online pdf creation service, which may be a better (i.e. cheaper) option.
Hope this solves your problem...

How to detect alterations to a JPG image that has been saved as a PDF

I have received a file containing a cancelled bank check that was downloaded from a bank website and saved as a PDF of the screenshot. Upon opening the PDF, it appears that some of the original hand-written text in the image has been altered. I believe this PDfFwas originally saved as a JPG, then altered, then saved as a PDF. Is there any way to determine if indeed the text has been altered in the file? Thanks!

Not easily. The bank's original version may have been a JPEG, then a screenshot was taken of that and saved as a PDF with unknown compression. (really, who saves a screenshot as a PDF?)
You can examine the PDF in a text editor to see what created it. You can open it in Illustrator to see the layer data (which might show tampering).
Beyond that you'd need an imaging forensics expert to look for tampering with the JPEG compressed image data (was it compressed more than once, was something significantly altered)?

Does CS4 Suite Products(ID,AI, PS) have ways to create Secured PDF with 256-AES or 128bit AES bit En

I have been able to create only 128-bit RC4 encryption PDFs(compatible with Acrobat5) when saving/exporting to PDF with Acrobat8.
Is there any other way we can do that?

How to save pdf in photoshop cs5 with cropmarks / bleed?

I have created crop makrs and a 10mm bleed using FILE > PRINT > OUTPUT > PRINTING MARKS / FUNCTIONS
What is the correct way of saving my file as pdf with the crop marks and bleed?
Thanks for your help...

You don't open image files in InDesign, you PLACE them in an existing InDesign document..
Create a new InDesign doc, FILE- NEW-Document
Set your Page Size to the same size as your image.
Make sure you have the size of your bleed entered in the Bleed file. If you don't see Bleeds & Slugs, click More Options.
You can use inches, Picas & Point, mm etc. this example of p9 equals .125 inch (1/8 inch)
In the InDesign doc you should see 3 colored lines:
Black line = final size of document after trimming.
Red line = show bleed area outside the document edge
Magenta line = margin inside page
Go to the FILE menu, PLACE and browse to your image and place into the ID doc.
Use the black arrow to move the edge of the image to the red bleed line.
Go to FILE menu, EXPORT and choose PDF - Print
Make sure you have CROP MARKS and USE DOCUMENT BLEED SETTINGS selected.
Open your PDF in Acrobat to view the image with your crop marks and bleed.
I'm assuming you are using a high resolution images for printing? 300 PPI (pixel per inch) is a general standard for items that will be viewed close up (no more than arm's length away
What exactly are you designing? If you are designing items with a lot of text you should be using InDesign.
Photoshop is mainly for image manipulation, while you can add text in Photoshop it is limited, and unless you know what you are doing may results in substandard products for printing purposes.

Error while saving a smartform in pdf with action profile in service order

Hi experts,
I have a problem in saving a smartform which is converted in pdf.
WHat i m doing is.
The action profile is configured with new Z class and Z method. CL_DOC_PROCESSING_CRM_ORDER and CRM_SRVORDER_EXEC_SMART_FORM.

The action has been setup with "Printonly" and "Smartforms print" in customization.
I have a dount whether, this action Printonly is only to print the smartform ??? Or can we use just to save the smartform in pdf.
But when i remove the pdf conversion and save dialog and try to print it directly, Its printing the smartform. No errors are coming.
But guys, please help me on this. I have tried all the tricks i know.
I just want to save a smartform in pdf with action profile configured.

Chinese characters copying incorrectly when saving pdfs with Preview

So this is a very strange problem. When I save a .pdf that I have annotated in Preview, it saves fine and everything continues to display correctly. However, if I then try to copy Chinese characters from the pdf, it pastes gibberish. F'rex:
灿烂辉煌 becomes "3456"
and
遇到的问题 becomes " !"
Does anyone know what is going on and how to deal with it?

The strange part is that initially the Chinese characters copy fine. It's only after I save the .pdf that copying goes all wonky.
I think there is a bug related to annotation.
Is there any way to control what encoding Preview uses when saving?
No. PDF is the worst possible format to use for any kind of editing.
Have you tried Adobe Reader? Or Skim?

Preview is not always the best option.

You cannot save word files to pdf using reader. When you click a link (in Reader or in the browser using the Reader plugin) you open the url in your browser (what browser)? We need detailed information to help.

Saving PDF with Adobe AIR

Hi all,
Currently, I am trying to implement saving PDF function with AIR, similar to above AIR application.
I have created a normal PDF, added formbridge.js inside it. Then display it via a HTML template in my AIR application.
Any idea how I can save the pdf with its content using AIR?
Do I need to ReaderExtended the PDF?
Thanks and regards,
Anh

Thanks a bunch anirudhs for your reply. I believe I did a bad
bad job explaining myself on the initial post.
Basically what I'm having issues with is printing or saving
the state of a scripted PDF form. I'm working on an AIR application
that fills PDF forms from the AIR app. Here is the work flow I
envision for the app:
- Forms are filled in the AIR App
- The fields are stored in a SQLite DB
- Fields are pulled from the DB into a template scripted PDF
File
- Template PDF file should be able to be saved & printed
off with the respective forms field
I have everything working besides the saving & printing
aspect of the application. I can't seem to make it work. Tried
working with the saveAs() but there seems to be some security
issues with calling the saveAs() from the script.
I'm wondering if anyone could give me a hand with this issue.
Thanks.
