Tiff Decompressor needed for Images copied from PDF?

I typed in "Tiff decompressor" into Photoshop's Help (which was no help as is common), and also did a forum search, but nothing came up.
Before I go any further, a message to those who write Helps:
i make sure that every term that is used within the program, including its error messages, is findable in Help.
Some background: I'm generating a book that has lots of photos that are higher resolution than required for final print. I don't know of any way that I can resample them all to 300 dpi at final print size other than exporting to PDF. I don't want to print just yet. I want to resample all the images to reduce the total size of the book for archiving purposes. So I've exported all the chapters to PDF simply as a way of resampling all the images, then I can backup the PDFs and use those as the archive for the 300 dpi images.
Problem: when I tried to get back an image from one of these PDFs, to make sure it was really 300 dpi, I did this:
1. Selected the image in the PDF.
2. Copied it.
3. Opened a new document in Photoshop CS.
4. Pasted.
5. Got a message that said: "Quicktime and a Tiff (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture."
Trusty Google, did a much better job of solving the problem. It turns out if I open Preview and then select File > New From Clipboard, the image is imported into Preview from where I can save it as a Tiff image that PS is able to open.
Q1: If Preview can do it, why can't PS. given that the image originally came from PS, went into InDesign, then to PDF... but it won't come back straight to PS. Why?
Q2: How do I extract an image from a PDF and get it straight into PS?
Q3: The image (when I do get it into PS via Preview) has been flattened. Is there any way to keep all the layers.
Q4: Is there any way I can avoid all the above steps (InDesign > PDF > Preview > PS) when all I want to do is extract all the images from an InDesign document, have them resampled to 300 dpi (not only downsampled; resampled preferably, up and down), and send them to a folder for archiving.

>Q2: How do I extract an image from a PDF and get it straight into PS?
In Acrobat and not the reader version:
Option click twice with the Touch Up Tool. This will open the embedded Photoshop file in Photoshop directly with the correct resolution when the PDF was saved. Be careful to note that Grayscale files as well as Spots will open with a dialog of "unsupported color space" It's a bug you just have to live with for now.
>Q3: The image (when I do get it into PS via Preview) has been flattened. Is there any way to keep all the layers.
You don't want to go there...

  • Application that allows to paste images copied from the web..

    hey guys.
    im looking for an application that allows to paste images copied from the web..
    ive tried a few but they only paste the next... anyone help?
    cheers.

    im assuming paste them on your phone to use as wallpaper etc?? if that's all you want to do, you don't need an app for that... when you find an image you like touch and hold for 3 or 4 sec. a dialogue box will appear asking you if you want to save the image, email it, etc... select save and it will appear in its own folder under photos as "saved images or photos"...
    hope it help

  • Font changes when copied from PDF to Word Docuemt

    Hi ,
    I have created a form which has text fields and static text and font style is Arial "10".In the preview i could see Someother fonts instead of Arial "10".
    When i copied the text from PDF to Word document it is showing "Calibri (Body)" or "Myriad Pro". I need same font when i preview the form as well as when i copied from PDF to word.
    I have created Custom component with Arial "10" even though in the preview i could see someother font.
    What could be the reason ..
    Thanks In advance.
    Vjay

    I can't think of why Acrobat/Reader wouldn't be displaying Arial. Try saving the form as pdf with Fonts Embedded in your Designer preferences.

  • COPY from PDF-viewer

    Hi. I tried copy some text from PDF file in Adobe Reader, or Foxit Reader, or PDF-Xchange Viewer. And always feature COPY was disabled.
    Why ? On Windows 7 it works.

    not sure how it's working from windows 7, what pdf reader are you using?
    the document is protected from being copied, but looks like its allowed for accessibility copying - not sure what setting that would refer to though

  • What kind of audio interface do I need for audio out from MainStage 3?

    I have a Yamaha MO8 that I use for playing in the worship band at my church. In the past, I've just directly routed audio from the MO8 through a direct box and into the sound system.
    I'm looking to switch my setup and use the Yamaha MO8 as a midi controller in MainStage 3. I have this part working — the problem is getting the audio from my MacBook Pro.
    The audio output sounds fine through the MacBook Pro speakers or through headphones plugged into the audio out / headphone jack; however, if I plug the direct box into the MacBook Pro's audio out / headphone jack, the signal the sound system gets is very pretty weak and very distorted.
    I'm assuming I need an audio interface between my MacBook Pro and the direct box / sound system. Since it's a 2010 MacBook Pro, I'm assuming my only output option is USB (unless the digital audio out can be used). If that's correct, would something like the Scarlet 2i2 work for me?
    Thanks…

    Yes, you'll need some sort of audio interface to get a good signal back to your mixer. 
    The Scarlet 2i2 would work for you but you may find a few limitations.  I use a MOTU Audio Express and it has the advantage of being a mixer as well, so I can mix in a backup signal from the onboard audio outs of my controller (Kurzweil PC3x) in case MainStage goes down (it happens on rare occasion).  Firewire is my preference so the MOTU checks that box.  I also like that I can connect my MIDI cables to the MOTU and have one cable going into the computer.
    If you need this sort of compact redundancy, I would shoot a little higher than the Scarlet.  If you don't feel the need for a backup line and USB works for you, then the Scarlet unit would be an excellent value. 

  • Copying from PDF and I get what?

    Copying from Adobe PDF "Deviation No.2 - Gas well oxygen" This is what I get:

    Does anybody have an Idea what is happening?
    Opened file with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
    Thanks

    Yeah, that's the object code from the PDF. But without really knowing what you selected using what method and what document you downloaded, we can't realyl advise. This is more an Acrobat issue, anyway, and may indicate that the PDF has been created with a newer version and there is incompatible data or it is protected or something like that.

  • Single keyboard shortcut needed for doing the Mail PDF

    I very frequently e-mail Word files (using Apple Mail) as PDFs. However, it takes two long steps (Print Command and pulldown to Mail PDF command). I want to have one single keyboard shortcut for doing the Mail PDF.workflow command from within Word and not have to use the mouse at all. Any ideas?

    Maybe you can script it with AppleScript Editor (in Applications)? I'm no AppleScript guru, but since you did not get any other response, I thought I'd mention it.
    Get to the point where you want to use your keyboard command. Hit Record in AppleScript editor. If those actions are scriptable (not everything is), they will show up in the window. Hit Stop when you are done. You should be able to save the script as an application.

  • Best workflow for image (LOGO) from Illustrator to FCP?

    Greetings to all. I am struggling with this -- I want to bring my company logo into FCP 5.1.4, FROM Illustrator to FCP. Easy enough? Not for me.. as I have two issues:
    1. My imported image looks great in the viewer, but jaggies in the Canvas.
    I understand that for DV NTSC 48k, my frame size is 720x480 -- but in another post, I read that it is best to export as 720x540, .tif (another person said 720x540 jpeg, because jpeg embeds sRGB proile -- but that will be part of question #2) -- the square pixel vs. 4:3 pixel issue...
    My Illustrator image is all vector art, and all fonts are outlined before export. I am saving as high-res (300 dpi). I tried saving as tif, jpeg, pdf. I tried bringing the PDF into photoshop, and saving as a psd. I tried opening pdf. No matter what I tried, the image looked perfect in the viewer, but like doo in the canvas. A tif, file size 720x540, 300dpi looks correct in the viewer, but jaggie in the canvas.
    YES, the green "render" bar was visible in the timeline -- of course, that must be the problem -- but then I rendered the still clip, and there was no difference. I made sure the render indicator in the timeline was "dark grey" -- but yet, the imported still image from illustrator looks jaggie and not good enough for production in the canvas.
    WHAT AM I DOING WRONG HERE?
    2. Color space -- regardless of the jaggies issues, my imported still image from illustrator is all washed out when imported.
    Regardless of file type. Yes, file set to RGB. Yes, gamma set to 2.2 (also tried setting imported still gamma to defualt - "source" - no change)
    My LCD display (mac book pro C2D 17") is calibrated, using a Spyder2. Gamma is set to 2.2. My print output from illustrator (saved as pdf x-1/a) ALWAYS prints as expected.
    If I add a color correction filter, and juice up the saturation, I can try to make the still image look close, but this shouldn't be the case, YES?
    My expectation is that a still image in illustrator or photoshop should look the same in FCP.
    What kind of newbie error am I making? What am I missing?
    Thank in advance for any guidance.

    I have been sending jobs to print (magazine ads, web, general print) for ages, and my printed materials come in as expected -- that is, within a few % points of my display -- which is what we are expecting -- and also EXTREMELY close to proof prints, using a reasonably high-end inkjet printer, with correct paper profiles... that is to say, that although I am no expert in color management by any means, I have what I need so that what I see on screen is very close to what is printed on a local printer, or a million dollar press.
    CAN I EXPECT to achieve anything close to this with video?
    When you print something on paper, you get to see exactly what it will look like and that's exactly how your customers will see it too. With video, there are infinite variables affecting this such as incorrectly calibrated displays; cheap TV components; the difference between CRTs, LCDs and computer displays; the size / resolution of the display, etc. There are so many variables that it will look different on every screen. All we can do as content producers is calibrate to a common standard, achieved through a properly-calibrated broadcast monitor.
    But if your film has a single use in mind, such as a trade show, it is better to ignore the above advice and use the display device it will end up on as the monitoring device, if you can.
    I am not near my FCP machine right now, so I can't try the test -- but I will try to revert my display color profile to stock apple LCD, and see what this brings. I know that FCP has simply NOT looked correct to me on my machine.
    What do the "big guns" who are using FCP and having to use pre-defined creative print elements, created in AI or Photoshop or whatever -- all color matched for print, what do you guys do when you need to integrate this into FCP?
    ARE FCP editors using Apple's 1.8 gamma (I guess you must because FCP uses it regardless of your colorsync profile, per the above article). ???
    I set it to Source and have had no problems because I create still images on the same machine with the default gamma of 1.8. I think what happened was you created the images in Photoshop with a colorsync profile of 2.2 on the monitor but perhaps a different profile embedded (if any). When you brought it into FCP, FCP automatically assumed it was created at a gamma of 1.8 and boosted to 2.2 but as the images was not created at 1.8, it was already very bright to begin with and so was boosted x2. That's my theory.

  • Error (Err 02) in Canon 7D Mark II when doing image copy from SD to Flash card; is this a bug?

    Using hardware and firmware as:- Camera: Canon 7D Mark II firmware ver. 1.0.4.- Flash card (1): Kingston 64 GB ultimate 266X- SD card (2): SanDisk 32 GB Extreme 60 MB/s Both cards where bought from authorized dealer, and looks genuine. Steps to generate the error:1: Test SD card (2) on PC with H2testw with no problems2: Format Flash card (1) in camera3: Format SD card (2) in camera, using low level format4: Take 1505 JPG images in high resolution to the SD card (2)5: Copy images from SD card (2) to Flash card (1) After copying of about 200 images, this resulted in error "Err 02", which cays:"Card2 cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change card2 or format card2 with camera." The problem had occurred previously with a Lexar SD card, so the above steps were made in order to reproduce the error and describe the exact steps taken for the error to occur. Are there anybody else that experience the same error ? Does this look like a bug in the Canon 7D Mark II using firmware ver. 1.0.4, or is there a way I can make it work ? Best regardsMortenZdk 

    Canon 2nd level support contacted me yesterday.
    They said that this issue was unknown in their system.
    In order to proceed they needed to read out additional error information from the camera, and such read-out is only possible on an authorized service size, since the software for such read-out is not available for users.
    Canon where not interested in providing me the software to do the error read-out, so I could send this to them for further investigation in relation to the support case.
    I suggested that the support person should request that such software for error read-out is made available for the end user, in order to provide further information in relation to support case, but the support person was not interested in going forward with such an idea.
    Canon were not interested in trying to reproduce the problem them self, even through I offered to send them the SD and Flash cards that caused the problem.
    So all Canon could do was to tell me to spendt additional time and money sending the camera to a service size, and then having to miss the camera for 14 days during while the service site investigates.
    I must admit, that this has left me with a bad experience in relation to buying a relatively expensive Canon camera together with high-end brand memory cards. In my opinion, it looks like Canon is not giving the end user any good ways of determined the reason for an error, which could lead to product improvement for example a firmware fix.  All I can do, if I want to move on this this, and potentially help Canon fix their product, is to spend additional time and money sending the camera to a service size.
    There is definitely room for improvement! 

  • My computer crashed and I need to now copy from my iPod to my Library

    My computer crashed and I bought a new one. As a result, everything I have on my iPod is not in my Library. How can I get them there? HELP!!

    Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
