Scanned document being saved at large size...

I am scanning a normal 8.5 X 11 in document into a pdf. But when I open the document it looks normal till I notice the visible percentage window value, it says 22.7% and its set to 'Fit Visible'. It seems to be saving it at the size of '35.42 X 48.71' inches. I guess my questions are:
Where do I need to look to scan it 'normally'
and
Is there a way to re-size a 'gigantic' pdf down to a size of 8.5 X 11 inches?
Jason

I would start by looking at the scanner settings directly, not at Acrobat. From the scan screen in Acrobat you should also have a settings tab that might give you further information. You likely have a default set some place that is causing the problem.

1000 folders called (A Document Being Saved By Illustrator) in my trash

upon restarting my mac, i found a "Recovered Files" folder in the trash. in it were 1000 folders called (A Document Being Saved By Illustrator). all were empty, save one that had two folders w/in it. is this anything to worry about? i'm on 10.10.1 and the most recent version of AI.
i work in a networked office, used to use smb to connect to the servers, we had many kernel panics. we now use CIFS to connect and that seems better.

Quicktime Pro Windows - Why are Trimmed Movies Being Saved at Player Size?

When I trim a video clip (ProRes 422 HQ) in Quicktime Pro 7 Windows, and re-save it as a self contained movie, it seems to save the trimmed clip at the current image size of the player window.
Based on the size of the new file, it seems like the full-size data is there, but the file's properties are somehow being tagged to play back at a reduced image size. (This is confusing some of the NLEs I'm trying out.)
Can this property be undone? So the clip is always trimmed and saved to play back at the original image size? Thanks.

If it matters, I have a Canon camcorder and imported the clips using a firewire cable. The external drive is connected via a second firewire cord to the other firewire port.

Why are my pictures being saved so large?!?!

I'm really hoping someone on here can help! I've never had this problem before until the recently. I open up a picture that I've taken, which is 3 MB, and do just a bit of editing. I'll crop, adjust the curves, and that's it. When I go to save it, it saves as a 12-14 MB picture. Anyone know why this would be happening?
Thanks in advance for your help!

When you are using the crop tool, are you resampling (i.e., are there any numbers in the fields at the top of the Photoshop window)? If so, you could be causing the images to be upsampled to a higher pixel count.
I'd also like to mention that JPEG compression isn't simple; it's not just "pick a number and that defines the size". In short, the JPEG quality level provided by the camera doesn't correspond to any particular Photoshop setting. Level 12 in Photoshop will definitely save very large files. Usually level 10 or 11 is good enough for delivered images, but if you're concerned with quality loss (e.g., for subsequent editing) you may have to face the fact that you'll need to save them as large files. Personally, unless these output JPEGs are your final product, I'd probably save them as .psd files, which incurs no loss but does provide some compression.
Lastly, terabyte disks are ridiculously cheap. In all seriousness you should not be balancing quality of your results against storage size. A top-of-the-line 2 TB Western Digital RE4 hard drive is $230 last I looked. A 1 TB RE3 drive is only a little over a hundred bucks! I'm quoting high reliability drive prices because I would not advise buying anything less. Your data is too valuable to worry over a few tens of dollars.
What is the pixel count of your input files and output files?

SaveAs Document Failed ... Deski document being saved to Favourites folder in Webi

Post Author: amcc
CA Forum: Administration
I have been unable to work out what access right is needed for Webi users to be able to save a Deski document to their Favourites folder. We have some migrated documents containing features that will not convert to Webi so have had to allow access to the Deski documents in the repository. Anyone in the Administrators group can successfully save the Deski documents but other users cannot and get the message:
SaveAs Document Failed (80043761)
The same group of users can view and refresh the document without any problem. They can also use 'Save to my computer as' without any problem.
For an example group of users they have:
1. View on Demand set on the universe2. View on Demand set on the universe connection3. View on Demand set on the folder containing the document4. Log on to Desktop Intelligence and view this object in the CMC set for the Desktop Intelligence application5. Save Desktop Intelligence Documents set for the Desktop Intelligence application6. Full Control of their Favourites folder.
I've even tried changing the View on Demand settings to Full Control but it made no difference.
What have I missed?

Hi all,
Even I have faced this problem,but the scenario is little different here.
I have a deski publication report , which run sucessfully evry day but once in a while fails giving this error.
SaveDocumentAs failed (80042908)
When we run this report again it run fine.
I am really wondered why this is happpening.
Any suggestions on this. Thanks in advance.

File names when saving scanned documents

When I scan a document and then try and save the same, The scanned document is saved hiwever the name that I give to the scanned document gets truncated. I dont understand why, I am using windows 7

That is a long File Name.
Did you create this long file name system at the same time you started scanning these documents?
You have .pdf and .ld together as the file extension in the image you provided. What is .ld?
Can you go to the file name and rename it to add the other characters and it stays?
If not, I don’t think it’s the HP software doing this. It is most likely Windows.
The only thing I can think of is that Windows uses what’s called an 8.3 file naming convention. It is built into Windows and it shortens long file names for MS-DOS legacy applications. Every long file name has an alias that complies with the 8.3 file names for backward compatibility.
Take a look at this article from Microsoft on truncating names. This will explain what is happening (hopefully).
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142982
Also,
Short file names may contain only the following characters:
·         Numbers (0,1-9)
·         Letters (A-Z, a-z)
·         Blank (blank spaces)
·         ASCII characters greater than 127
·         Special characters: $ % ' - _ @ ~ ` ! ( ) ^ # &
Long file names may contain only the following characters:
All of the characters supported by short file names
·         Special characters: + , ; = [ ]
Length of the long file names are limited to 255 characters (260 for full paths = the file name and root of the folder) and short file names are limited to 8+3 or 11 characters (80 for full path names).
You can disable the 8.3 convention in Windows but there may be problems with some applications not being able to find files and directories that have long file names.
This Microsoft article explains how to disable 8.3 on NTFS partitions.

How do I change the resolution of a scanned document/photo on CC568A?

Its a Photosmart 7520 Series printer.
The scanned documents are way too large to email, and I can't find anywhere on the printer or online on how to change the resolution to shrink the file size.
Thank you!

Hi @JeffJohnson,
I see that you are having issues emailing the scans. I can help you.
How are you scanning the emails? (from the computer or the printer)
If you are scanning from the computer to email, you can reduce your file size by:
1. Reducing the scan resolution. Change the dpi.
2. Scan your document in black/white or grayscale.
Be aware, that this will change the quality of the scan.
Here is a document for scanning to email from the printer. I don't believe there are any settings to change the size.
How to Scan: From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a USB Drive, and to a Memory Card).
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Have a nice weekend!

Where are my scanned documents?

This is a question that will certainly show my computer 'expertise', but can someone tell me where my scanned documents are saved? I have a HP photosmart b109 printer/scanner I bought with an iMac and after scanning a dozen documents, I can't find them. I have searched and searched but cannot find where they are saved.

I'm sorry I can't give you an exact answer because it depends on what version of the scanning software you are using. Look in your Documents folder and see if you can find a folder called *Scanner Output*. Also look for a folder that includes HP or Hewlett.
Failing this, perform one additional scan. Then click on the Spotlight icon in the top right corner of your screen. In the text blank type *Date: Today* and press Return. Then click on the *Show All* option in the dropdown menu. This will show you all the files that have been created or modified today. Look for the newest document (or the one with the filename you expect) and click on it. In the bottom of the window you'll see its path. Now you know where your scans are.

Scanned documents saving as .BMP instead of .PDF

I've had my laptop and all-in-one since June. I've been scanning my little heart out and saving them as PDF's with no problem. Until a few days ago when I was tempted to re-enact the printer smashing scene from Office Space. Now when I scan sometimes it will save as a PDF but most of the time it will save as .bmp. When scanning documents I select save as PDF but once the document is scanned and I go through the steps to save, all pages are saved separately as .bmp instead of .pdf. I haven't changed any settings that I am aware of and I'm not doing anything differently.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @mistinlaci
I read your post about the scanning issues you're having and I wanted to make my suggestions to you.
Here they are:
Check for Windows Updates and complete them all:
Install Windows updates
Update Adobe:
Open Reader or Acrobat.
Choose Help - Check For Updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
Once installed, restart you computer.
Try to print the PDF again.
Run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
Please let me know if the troubleshooting steps helped!
Happy New Year

I know only Javascript and would like to convert a large numbers of scanned documents into layers to mount on white a4 canvas

I have got more than 400 scanned documents of A4 size. But they are not of uniform size. Luckily they are all of 300 dpi.They were created on a scanner. When opened in photoshop they contain random patches that are transparencies, although there seems to be no difficulty viewing themon adobe reader.
My laptop had "Gb RAM and does not accept CS4 I have Photoshop CS3. My javascript and photoshop are both limited to basic skills.
I would like to mount each document on a white A4 sized photoshop background of300dpi, as a layer, flatten it out and save as the desired page.
As this is rather time-consuming, I would like to have a script that will perform this task, on a single file.
I would like to manually run this script on each file.
If possible I would additionally like to put the individual pages in a folder and run the script repetetively on all files in the folder.
Any suggestions or held will be gratefully appreciated
thanks, peter

Saving scanned documents?

I consistently save scanned documents into my folders. With this new Adobe Reader I use ctrl-shift-save to open and save the document. Before, each time I used ctrl-shift-save it would open up the same folder. Now it takes me back to the beginning and I have to click on the "drive," then click on my another folder, then another, another and another before I get back to the folder where I want to save the document. This takes way-to-much time and I want to go back to the way it was. How do I set the system so I can just continue saving scanned documents to the folder?

There is no control over this. But if it always opens in the same (wrong) folder, stick a shortcut there.

AppleWorks documents are being saved automatically as Unix files. How?

Working on a G3 iBook with OS X (10.3), all AppleWorks documents are being saved as Unix Executable Files by the program despite the dialogue box saying they will be saved as Appleworks documents complete with ".cwk".
After a while of successfully opening these files via Get Info/ Open As, AppleWorks itself refuses to open up and I have to reload Appleworks onto the computer from disk for another brief lifespan.
Ideas? Help please.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The files aren't actually saved as Unix executables, your system just thinks they are. I find this kind of file confusion often occurs if permissions aren't repaired using Disk Utility after a system update.
You can "re-teach" your system what program opens those files. Click a known AppleWorks document in the Finder to highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose AppleWorks 6. If AppleWorks 6 is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the AppleWorks 6 application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with AppleWorks 6.

Hey there @jadoue , welcome to the forums!
Yes, you can scan a PDF as legal size and save it. Check out the screen shot I posted below as an example of what you are looking for in the printer software that is installed on your computer.
