Import and update PDF Export Preset

Hey there again!

I'm now trying to define a "Preset" for the PDF export process... it is based on the "high quality Print" (preset from the Adobe PDF list), and then I want to change the settings of "one or two".

Changing one or two parameters is easy, I've done it already, but given that most of them is already defined by the "high quality Print" Preset, my idea was:

  1. Load the Preset 'high quality '.
  2. And after that, change the required parameters
  3. And then export to PDF, of course!

How is that possible?

Thank you very much!!

Best regards.

Hello

There are basically two location of pdfExportPresets:

app folder - "/ c/ProgramData/Adobe/Adobe%20PDF/Settings/presetName.joboptions".

user folder - "~ / AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe%20PDF/Settings/presetName.joboptions".

You are able to change those 2nd or duplication with those of 1st (copy of the app folder goes to the folder of the user).

So step 1 is to reproduce some app preset at user folder (say, change your name)

and call this copy one be changed by the script.

To duplicate it using:

currPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("[High Quality Print]").duplicate();
currPreset.name = "myHResPreset";

After this, you can change the 1st line of your script:

myPDFExportPreset=app.pdfExportPresets.item("myHResPreset");

and run your code

  • PDF export presets

    Hello guys,.

    to add an export pdf presets on the indesign server file must be placed in a directory like

  • My mind is wiped out. I'll put up pages in Photoshop 9.0 to be then placed in InDesign 4.0 for professional printing. Can you help me configure the proper color settings, and what PDF preset to use. And output parameters, etc. Thanx.

    My mind is wiped out. I'll implement the color pages in Photoshop 9.0 to be then placed in InDesign 4.0 for commercial printing in book form. Can you help me with the settings of color in Photoshop, that is to incorporate the color profile; convert in space work, Adobe RGB, etc. and which PDF preset to use, i.e. printing, PDF / X - 1 or 3, etc. Also, what I have to select the output settings such as the conversion of colors with the Destination or the printer deals with that. I know I asked a lot, so thanks in advance for any input or advice.

    Best regards, ScottyB34

    What are the settings of your printer wants? Some may deal with sRGB some want Adobe RGB Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-k in Photoshop, then choose North Amercian prepress 2

    He'll take care of the tags for you, or if sRGB is important, Norh American General Purpose 2.

    Here is a summary of the settings PDF and their meaning:

    When you are ready to create a PDF file from an application such as Illustrator or InDesign Adobe, we give you a list of the predefined PDF settings from which to choose. Well how do you decide which is the right choice? Well, let me explain what they do.

    Let's start with the smallest file size and the name of the type of the story. It is compatible with Acrobat 6, which means that anyone who has Reader or Acrobat 6 or above will be able to open the file. Now it converts everything in sRGB color which is a common space for color monitor.

    All RGB is truncated to sRGB, CMYK and spot colors also. So that means if you have a job to print, you can see some color shifts in this outgoing PDF. You must decide whether it is acceptable. He can't stand live transparency, not flattened. It downsize image content to 100 pixels per inch and this is part of how she made a reduced file size. It also uses aggressive JPEG compression of poor quality on the content of the image. So, you can see some of these rectangular JPEG artifacts.

    But it is how it gives you a reduced file size, and results are appropriate to be posted online or attached to an email.

    High quality printing has compatibility with Acrobat 5 and above. There is no color conversion. RGB RGB stays, rest spot, stays of CMYK CMYK spot and it supports live, not flattened transparency. It does not perform some downsampling to 300 pixels per inch. So, for example, if you placed an image which was 300 ppi and then set to scale up to 50 percent there actually a res then 600 pixels per inch.

    Well, this process would take half out these pixels. Therefore, it can create larger files but that makes it suitable for in the House of printing or sending Let's say a remote office if they want to print we tell cells leaves, or brochures, or something like. It's beautiful out on an internal printer.

    Print quality and high quality printing have similar names, so this may be a bit confusing, but print quality has compatibility with Acrobat 5 or higher. It converts the content of RGB to CMYK destination values according to what you specify as the destination.

    It is usually SWOP, S-W-O-p. It supports live, not flattened transparency. It performs the subsampling bicubic to 300 pixels per inch and because that it keeps at least 300 pixels per inch, which means that it can create some large files, but it is suitable for professional printing.

    Then we start to get into the presets named 'X '. 'X' is now for Exchange. They agree on specifications and the idea is to have a set of specifications if a PDF file is compliant to these specifications, we know it's going to be printable.

    We know that imaging devices are going to treat them properly. So this goes back to 2001, and which can seem a bit old, but bear with me. PDF/X-1 has a compatibility with Acrobat 4. I know, it sounds old. It converts RGB to CMYK content, it keeps the content of good tones. It flattens transparency. Downsize it at 300 pixels per inch. It can large enough crat files if you have large size images in your project and that it is suitable for professional printing.

    The idea behind X-1 is if you send a PDF file to an unknown printer, you do not know what are their capabilities, you send abroad, it will be able to be photographed on any device. No matter the age, it is, they can print. Over the years, the concepts of Exchange became more sophisticated the workflow and devices become more sophisticated.

    SP PDF / X-3: 2002, remains compatible with Acrobat 4 and that means that it flattens transparency, but it does not perform any color conversion.

    This means that it maintains RGB content, place remains in place, rest of CMYK CMYK. He still performed bicubic downsampling at 300 pixels per inch, and therefore, it can create large files. But this is suitable for commercial printing, if the printer signals you that it is present RGB content is correct.

    PDF / X-4: 2008 is compatible with Acrobat 7 and later. See, we're getting more modern. No color conversion. RGB RGB stays, stays CMYK CMYK, spot rest spot and it supports live, not flattened transparency.

    He still performs bicubic downsampling. Therefore, it can create large files because it maintains the pieces of the image to 300 pixels per inch or higher and it is suitable for commercial printing, as long as the printer tells you that RGB content is not serious and dynamic transparency is acceptable. Some older workflow does not support dynamic transparency, or they treat well, and that's why always ask. It is a special case in Illustrator, something called default Illustrator. Its compatibility is Acrobat 6 or higher.

    It does not perform the color conversion, everything continues like this. It supports transparency live, not flattened, and it also contains the original, editable Illustrator file in the PDF file. It preserves layers and it may be return, can be reopened safely in Illustrator and it's really the only PDF format you can do with safely. But it can create larger files, because you sort of two files for the price of one, they sometimes get huge.

    So what predefined PDF is Right For You? Well, if you want to send for printing, the first thing you should do is to ask your printer how they want the created PDF.

    They should be able to give you the plug for the creation of the PDF file. They may be able to give you job options files you can simply import and use as your preset target. But if it's a stranger the printer or the printer for some reason any said, well, I don't know, just make a PDF and this happens, well, choose the lowest common denominator to the PDF/X-1 test. Anyone can image that. If it is a more modern printer and up to date, especially if you send it to someone who uses digital presses, PDF/X-4 should be safe.

    I always go back to point one, ask the printer. If you send it as an attachment or you're going to post online, well, smaller size of file is a pretty clear choice. But remember this, you can start with one of these predefined parameters, and you can always edit it to customize your specific needs. So get to know the presets, understand the destiny of the PDF you create, and then make the best PDF that you can.

  • Export from InDesign to PDF and the PDF file last updated is greater than one month and not easily print on letter paper is PDF presets?

    Hello

    I export from InDesign to PDF page is larger in the PDF file, and others I exported. This is because of the present PDF? One of the project managers is not able to print on 8.5 "x 11", but the InDesign document presets are the same as before. I wish I could download PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is greater than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF file and the newly updated PDF file is almost un.5 inch wider with the export presets even. Any thoughts?

    I suspect the project manager has his copy of Reader/Acrobat simply set to print full size, rather than "Worthy" (assuming that the size of InDesign pages is truly 8.5 x 11).

    .. the newly updated PDF file is almost un.5 inch wider with the same export presets.

    This has nothing to do with export presets. How did determine you this difference of half inch?

  • Bad import and export of quality. CS6

    When I import a video or a photo (it's HD) it seems pixelated and shit when in full screen and when I export. Help pleaseeee.

    The link is private, so I couldn't see him.

    However, looking at your capture sequence settings, Yes, this sequence is wide by 480 height 720. You can't develop as the monitor of a computer without the need to have the program "extrapolate" a large NUMBER of pixels, as you can probably see on a 1920 x 1080 or something similar. It will be very pixelated. Period.

    Was exported to say DVDs using DVD mpeg2 presets more a sound channel, try using Adobe Encore DVD authoring or another program creation, it will maybe look ok perform on a DVD player to a TV. That's what DVD are, after all.

    It will never look in case of export like the mp4 or something to play on a computer screen 1920 x 1080 or more.

  • Change of color in the PDF export and brochure printing

    InDesign CS5 Windows 7 64 bit

    I need to provide a client with both a composite PDF of a manual to use on their website and a PDF of a composite booklet even content to go to print (managed by their printers separations).

    The document is strictly two colors: black and pure Cyan - no other colors involved. Only imports are EPS of CorelDraw format diagrams which also use that same two simple colours.

    When I export to PDF, no problem: Blacks are 100% black, cyans are 100% cyan. When I export this manual, Blacks are still very well but the cyans becomes C:69%, M:14%. 100% Cyan color applied in CorelDraw and applied in InDesign itself all come out them with the same results.

    I tried to change a lot of output and management settings of colors in the print booklet application but still get the same result despite the use of the same what is CMYK color profile used for the right PDF export.

    There are no complications of PhotoShop imports or conversions from RGB image, so I can't understand what is going wrong here.

    Any thoughts?

    I would check the default settings for the PDF printer. Looks like a profile mismatch.

  • Quality PDF export from InDesign and Photoshop problems

    Hello.

    I exported as preset high quality printing - this is false. Are there other settings to make sure the PDF export retains the quality of high resolution and clarity?

  • Import/Export presets list is empty

    I use the latest version of photoshop CC, 14.2 64-bit in Windows 7, I was to optimize the menus/shortcuts/areas of work/tools for my needs and I wanted to make a backup of my settings/presets on a flash drive to take on the go. When I go into Edition-> Presets-> Import/Export of Presets, the list will appear empty and I am unable to do this.

    So in summary:

    14.2 x under Win7 64 PS

    Change multiple settings and presets

    Export list empty presets

    I checked my settings in PS in Program Files folder, (thus, at least of the actions and brushes) are appearing in the form of files unique, but somehow are not covered by "export presets.

    No, I've upgraded to 2015 CC on the new PC. But I think I've found the bug.

    On my old photoshop, under the folder presets, there is no stored presets. All the files are empty, but I have a lot of custom actions, shapes, brushes and other things in photoshop.

    C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Presets

    I think the reason for this is that you can drag-and-drop action, shape or the brush directly in photoshop when executing to install these components. None of my friends, I created in Photoshop, including never got saved in these folders.

    I have since saved manually, moved and installed the stuff I needed (Urgh! What a pain) to the new PC. This time I put them in the subfolder preset instead of letting it fall on the app. Now the predefined in the new PC list is filled. In my opinion, the program should not penalize users for taking the easy road to simply drop 3 presets on the app. I hope it's just a bug.
