Saving PDF as TIFF/PNG - Where did anti-aliasing go? No Smoothing.

Hey all,
I'm using Acrobat XI (v 11.1.07 - CC on Win7 64 bit) and trying to Save As... a TIFF or PNG.
The output has no antialiasing or smoothing.
When did this happen?
It makes this feature completely useless.
Can anyone suggest a way to get a good result?
Thanks,
Anthony

I'd suggest Photoshop, it's good at this sort of thing.

I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

I'm not familiar with the PC end of things, but in a recent post I read about someone using notes.exe to access notes (I'm assuming they knew what they were talking about) - would your installation of icloud app(s) include a notes program? At least do this, log into icloud.com with a computer browser and look in mail. There should be a notes "folder" listed along with the others you may have defined. Are you notes there? If not, that's the problem. Be sure notes is turned on in Settings>icloud on your device. if they are there, then it looks like the PC end is the problem - but I can't provide help concerning that.

Saved a page from Internet- where did it go??

I was on a webpage & trying to save a page (actually a photos). I clicked on "SAVE" and a message pops up that sayd "saved in your saved pages folder". Where the heck is that??? I have looked all over my phone thru pics, doc, folder, etc. Where is this saved pages folder it speaks of?

They are in the browser. Open the browser, hit the menu button, hit the bookmark icon at the top, then select the saved pages tab.

Where did multiple saved login names go in ios8 Safari?

Where did multiple saved login names go in ios8 Safari? In io7 you could have multiple logon names for a given webpage, and select which one you wanted, and even though these different names are saved in saved passwords in the Safari settings, I can't access them. Safari now just allows one saved name/password per webpage, and if you want to change this name, you have to turn off saved passwords, and type in the new name and password. Ios7 worked great, why did you mess around with something that worked? If I could, I would roll back to ios 7.

You should get an Open In window that pops up in Safari that allows you to choose the app in which you want to save the PDF. If you do not have an app that works with PDF files (iBooks, Adobe Reader) you cannot save the file anywhere.

My project was not saved and is now gone...where did it go?

My project was not saved and is now gone...where did it go?

Check to see if Premiere autosaved your project. Open Premiere and start a new project.
File Menu > Project Settings > Scratch Disks
The last entry is 'Project Auto Saves'. See where this is pointing on your computer. If you are very lucky, Premiere may have autosaved your project from before and you'd be able to find it and open it that way.
Otherwise, you won't be able to recover a project that wasn't saved.

Big Mistake, I upgraded to OS X Mavericks this morning and now I have lost all my e-mail folders where I was saving important e-mails. I did a mailbox rebuild and it did not bring them back. Should not have upgraded?

For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

Where did the .jpeg option go when saving?

I used to be able to save a .cr2 file that I had edited in the .jpeg format. For some reason that is no longer offered as an option in the drop down menu when I use 'save as'. Where did the .jpeg option go?

It's not there because the CR2 image is using 16-bit color.
Either:
Change the bit depth in Camera RAW to 8-bit before opening it in the Editor.
In the Editor, use Image...Mode...8 bits/channel.

How do I print a mirror image? Where did the old functionality go?

Within the last several months I was able to print a mirror image of my document to my HP DeskJet F4180 in high resolution. I don't know if it is the new HP drivers, or my new Snow Leopard OS but now I can' figure out how to do it again. I can grab a screen shot in and flip it in Preview but it ends up printing in low resolution.
I have printed mirror images in the past from my PDF applciations and I think from Office 2008 (PowerPoint). I find no documents saved on my hard drive that come up saved as a reverse image so I suspect that I was using a printer feature not an application feature to print mirror images.
Where did this functionality go?

Found it!
Use the check box marked Flip Image. Didn't is say mirror before?

PDF to TIFF error: Image is too wide to output Acrobat X Pro

I have been using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to convert PDFs to TIFFs. All of the sudden this week I am getting an error saying the Image is too wide to convert. These are files I previously converted without a problem. I am specifying resolution of 360 pixels in the TIFF settings (which is what I have always used). I installed the latest maintenance (10.1.12) but still get the error. The files are 17" wide x 11" high. Any idea why I am getting this error all of the sudden and how to fix it? I send the files to a colleague on the same Acrobat Pro X release and they do not get the errors. Reboot resolves for 1 file, then the error comes back.

The issue should be the resolution. I've had this same issue before so I'll give you a walk through of what I did. You will need to reprint your current PDF to a new PDF with a new resolution. Upon doing that, the new PDF will need to match whatever resolution is being required by whoever is needing this TIFF File, if there is not a requirement just pick one (such as 300 DPI).
1) In your existing document select Print (Ctrl+P)
2) Change your current printer to "Print to PDF/Adobe PDF/ ETC..." (whatever it is called)
3) Select Properties and a dialog box called "Adobe PDF Document Properities" should pop up.
4) Select the tab labeled Paper/Quality
5) Select "Advanced..."
6) There is an option for graphic that should have a print quality labeled " XXXX DPI" (could be anywhere from 72, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800), select what you want to use, click OK back out to the basic print screen, and print your new PDF and label it whatever you want your TIFF's to be called. (I use 300 as that is what a city I submit to requires for plans).
7) Open your new PDF, and on your menu bar at the top select EDIT (right next to file) then select "Preferences" at the bottom on the drop-down menu. (or on your keyboard use "Ctrl+K" for a faster way to get to preferences)
8) From there select Convert from PDF then select TIFF from the list of options from the box in the middle> then select "Edit Settings..." under the box on the far right that has the information about how it saves TIFF Files currently.
9) There should be a "Save As TIFF Settings" Dialog box that opens up and at the bottom there is a place under "Conversion" that says resolution.
10) Change the resolution to whatever your new PDF was saved and and that should fix your problem!
I know some of this was basic stuff but I see this question come up in different places and no one has really mapped it out like above. Hope this helps!

Anti-aliased text when exporting PDF to image

I need to be able to batch-convert multi-page PDFs to individual bitmap images (one image for each page) with anti-aliased text.
Photoshop works this way if you open a single PDF, allowing you to select one or more pages to rasterize as separate images, but not when batch processing (specifically, if you use the Image Processor script on a folder of images and PDFs, it will rasterize the PDFs automatically, but it will only do so with the first page of each PDF.)
Acrobat, on the other hand, automatically creates an image for each page when exporting, and can do this in a batch sequence, but the text is not anti-aliased, making the image look like a screenshot from 1997. No matter how high an image resolution you select, the text is still jagged when you zoom in.
So, is there a setting I'm missing that will allow the text to be anti-aliased when using Acrobat to export PDF to an image? I am using Acrobat 8, not 9, so something might have changed in the newest version.

Not sure about Acrobat Pro 8, but in Acrobat Pro 9 (not Extended) you can Export>Image>Multiple Choice: JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, TIFF. I used JPEG and under the options in the export dialog box, leave the filename as is to coincide with the PDF filename and then choose Maximum Resolution under File Settings: Grayscale (JPEG, Quality:Maximum); Color (JPEG, Quality:Maximum) . . . skip down to Conversion Colorspace: Determine Automatically and Resolution choose 600pixels/inch for a letter size document. This will result in a file size of 1.3MB per JPEG image if there is not a lot of information on the page. I chose a simple header, footer with page numbering, and 5 lines of Lorem Ipsum text. 600dpi is overkill, you can go for 300dpi and still result in a decent image that will be able to be printed on a laser photocopier that is connected to a production computer. Obviously if you are printing to a laser printer or a high quality inkjet 300dpi will suffice as well for a letter sized document. But I have been told that 300dpi is not a standard rule of thumb and you must obtain specs from your printer since he/she can calculate by very strict rules the dpi you need for your content. It depends on whether you have background images such as watermarks and also if your text body contains line-art.

Unwanted Anti-aliasing after export to PDF!?

Dear comunity,
First of all let me say, that i am relatively new to indesign,
this is really driving me crazy: my boss gave me the task to renew our business cards (no new layout, just different names and addresses.) So i took the indesign file my predecessor made and switched the names and contact information. The indesign file contains three back sides for three different people, every one with their own QR-code.
I made three new QR codes, deleted the old ones and brought the new ones in. (the codes were originally PNG, i put them in Photoshop and exported as PSD, since i heard, that i should use PSD files in ID instead of PNG or JPEG.)
When exported to PDF, two of these QR codes are working just fine, the third one has the following problem: On the edges of the code, thin light gray lines appear, for my untrained eye, these look just like anti-aliasing. These do only appear in the exported PDF, not in Indesign itself, and only in one of the three QR-codes, though i created and imported them all the same way.
I should probably mention, that i made the codes 50% transparent. I already did lots of research regarding that problem, and one person said, that this is a bug, which has been solved in ID CC 2014, so i updated my ID to that version, imported the corrupt PSD anew, still the same problem.
What did i do wrong with this particular PSD file? Might there be a button or something, when i have the psd selected in iD, that toggles AA on and off for that particular file??
I added two pictures. the 1st one is one of those, who don't make any problems, the second one is the one, that has the unwanted anti-aliasing (or whatever it is). I just made screenshots out of Acrobat, because this forum wouldn't let me upload The PDFs. As i said, they both come from the same ID file, exported the same way.
Thanx in advance for all your kind help.
Nigi

Thank you Willi, one more question,
You are saying, i down sampled with the wrong method. So what would be the right method? I just drag and dropped the file and placed using the placegun thingy.
Just asking for future projects, this particular problem will be solved by the internal QR-editor, i'm sure.
Boy that whole print-stuff is a whole new area for me, there's much to learn, so i am very grateful for people like you, who take their time to help a poor autodidact...
Thanks

When the user saves a pdf as a png image, is this lossless?

Hi, I know that the user can save a pdf as an image (or rather as a series of images). And I know that saving to a jpg is not lossless. But what about saving to a png? Is this lossless?
If not, then my question becomes general: does Acrobat give the user a lossless way to save a pdf as an image?

Actually, I think we missed a very important point at the beginning. Saving PDF pages to an image almost always causes severe quality losses that are nothing to do with compression. Here's why.
A PDF is a mixture of some or all of:
- text
- vector art (shapes, lines, etc.)
- raster images (originally TIFF, JPEG or whatever) at DIFFERENT resolutions
Now, if you save a page of a PDF to a raster format, then what happens to the above is:
- text must be converted to a raster format. It is no longer text, free to scale and sharp to read at anysize
- vector art must be conveted to a raster format with similar losses to text
- raster images have to be converted to the final resolution. Unless the resolution of the image and of the exported graphic happen to be the same there will be quality losses
So, whether you choose JPEG, PNG or whatever, it is only in a very small set of circumstances lossless. That is, when the PDF contains nothing but raster images, all at the same resolution, which is the same as the exported resolution.

I saw the responses on the page to opening and saving pdfs but it is cumbersome to shut down the function in Mozilla and work around it. Is there a fix coming?

Until the Firefox 23 update I had no difficulty opening or saving pdfs in Firefox, but since the most recent update (Firefox 23) I often get error messages about damaged files when I use the download button and try to open or save files. I've checked with another browser and they open or save fine. I've tried disabling the pdf but it is cumbersome. I am using MSWord 7 if that makes any difference. Is there a fix coming for this?

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select Adobe Reader Plugin for Netscape (or something similar). Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
