Several types of pdf export (high quality, prepress, smaller size, etc.) in a single process indd file?

Hello world

For many of the projects I'm working on that I need to provide customers with a high resolution, low resolution and ready to print their documents. It is not a huge deal to run the export of Indesign 3 times, but I wonder if there is a batch process that can do at once? For the moment, I'm archiving work and it's a major pain to do this for each file!

I have been a script, perhaps a droplet of acrobat or action, Distiller affecting thinking, or perhaps a third-party app?

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I looked for something like this for a while, but the only thing I found is out factory of Zervik - I'm not yet sure he does several types of indd. But surely there are free tools or some intelligent workflows that I have not yet stumbled...

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much

Manny

  • Festival Video export HD QUALITY but small in size

    First of all, I don't know how you can make suggestions, but ADOBE, I'd there Festival or Presets movie screen that allows high-quality HD on large theatre screens, but also different sizes of file. Or at least explanation invites that I know what it does to my movie when I slide the Max Bitrate slider!

    That being said, I'm looking to export my movie for a festival in Germany. They have all of the different specifications. Request:

    • a file size under 1 GB (it's a short 8 minute)
    • MP4
    • 0 decibels (where can I define in the export settings?)
    • 24 fps or 25 fps progressive (my movie is 23.976, is this a problem?)
    • AAC sound quality

    (PS: this isn't for a DCP.) The file will be transferred via Dropbox)

    When I put in the H.264 FORMAT, and set it to PRESET HD 1080 23.976 or 25 progressive, he is already over 1 800 MB.

    Basically... WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    The decibel level '0' is a setting for audio... loudness pic... and you need to set that while working the file in PrPro. Using the audio controls.

  • Automation of several scanned page PDF export to Excel

    We have MANY PDF files scanned at work (about 8 400) that we need to export to Excel. There are a few tricky parts to what I'm trying to find out if there is a way to automate this. These are all individual PDF files, but I know that I could convert them all to a multipage PDF, if I need to, that shouldn't be a problem. The major problem being that we want only a small part of all files PDF, the upper left corner that has some basic information (name and address) to be exported to an Excel worksheet. The rest of the PDF file is not required. If that helps anything on the automation of formatting are simple page PDF. Anyone know if this is possible?

    I asked this in the PDF forum, but someone suggested to ask in the forum of java script instead.

    It can be done, most likely, but it would be a custom script to extract the text from the desired coordinates and then export it to a format that can be read using Excel (for example, a text file delimited by tabs). This is not a simple task, however.

  • Several groups in PDF export

    I posted a similar question in the past and it has been sorted (ending with export groups but in JPG format). However, I would like to export them to PDF, now that I know it's possible and have a rough idea of how to do this through some members of this forum.

    Although I only got an extreme like the code below. It resizes the page but it looks like the right size - and the Group meets in pasteboard somewhere.

    Would be very happy if someone could remember where I've gone wrong!

    var doc=app.activeDocument;  
    var links=doc.links.everyItem().getElements();  
    var fd=new Folder(doc.fullName.parent+'/PDF');  
    if(!fd.exists){
      fd.create();
    }
    var f;  
    for (var i=0;i<links.length; i++){
      if ((links[i].status==LinkStatus.NORMAL||links[i].status==LinkStatus.LINK_EMBEDDED)&&  
      links[i].parent instanceof EPS &&
      links[i].parent.parent.parent instanceof Group){
    
    
        //create new document
        app.documents.add();
    
    
        //duplicate group to new document
        links[i].parent.parent.parent.duplicate(document.pages.item(0));
    
    
        //set bounds of page to bounds of group
        var pg = app.activeDocument.pages.item(0);
        var gBounds = links[i].parent.parent.parent.geometricBounds;
        pg.reframe(CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, [[gBounds[1], gBounds[0]], [gBounds[3], gBounds[2]]]);
    
    
        //export as PDF
        f=File(fd.fullName+'/'+links[i].name.replace(/.[^.]+$/,'')+'.pdf');  
        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, f)
    
    
        //exit without saving
        app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.NO);
    
    
      }
    }
    

    Adam

    Adam,

    It seems simpler to create the new document to the appropriate size so that no resizing is required. Something like this:

    group = links[i].parent.parent.parent;
    gb = group.geometricBounds;
    app.documents.add ({documentPreferences: {pageWidth: gb[3]-gb[1], pageHeight:gb[2]-gb[0]}});
    duped = group.duplicate(app.documents[0].pages.item(0));
    duped.move([0,0]);

  • Export, high quality MPEG-2 settings

    CS3:

    I'm burning a 15 minute film. Quality is the most important. It's NTSC, 29.97, 16:9

    About the settings, I did a few test makes but I have a few questions:

    Multiplexing, DVD or not? As I understand it, it has to do with a separate audio track. Is there a reason to go with the DVD?

    Audio, PCM or MPEG? I did a test render with PCM (a default value), seemed OK... A reason to go with MPEG?

    Order of fields, I used no, progressive. A reason to go with higher or lower?

    Encoding Bitrate - I used the CBR. I got much better results. Do mount Mbit/s for most large number (9) improve quality?

    Parameters of GOP, the choices are 3-8, is the highest quality the best number? The default value is 3.

    N frames, 9, 12, 15, 16 choice, what is the best quality? The default value is 15.

    Multiplexing, DVD or not? As I understand it, it has to do with a separate audio track. Is there a reason to go with the DVD?

    None. The result is two files, video, audio, still she likes better than multiplexes. Import the video as a timeline and audio as an asset. Drag the audio to the audio track below the timeline and it snaps in place.

    Audio, PCM or MPEG? I did a test render with PCM (a default value), seemed OK... A reason to go with MPEG?

    None, PCM is good, Dolby AC3 it's even better because it leaves more space for the video.

    Order of fields, I used no, progressive. A reason to go with higher or lower?

    If you shot interlaced, keep it lower. If you use progressive on interlaced material, you lose half the vertical resolution.

    Encoding Bitrate - I used the CBR. I got much better results. Do mount Mbit/s for most large number (9) improve quality?

    Yes, but do not exceed 8 for compatibility resons.

    Parameters of GOP, the choices are 3-8, is the highest quality the best number? The default value is 3.

    N frames, 9, 12, 15, 16 choice, what is the best quality? The default value is 15.

    Leave default.

  • When exporting photos to a smaller size, they become very blurry

    Since I updated to version export newest was interrupted. I normally export the photo full size, then use other software to harvest, and watermark. The enlarged picture is crisp and clear just that I edited, but as soon as I change the size (be it in LR or other software), it becomes extremely blurred. Suggestions?

    I exported just an image, the original had 4288 pixels on the long side. I exported specifying 800 pixels on the long side. I chose JPEG, 70% of quality. JPEG format that results has been equally strong and colorful than the original raw file. I saw similar to your reports, but personally have not been able to reproduce the problem. Can you post a screenshot of your export settings?

  • Video 'share' - more high quality, for importation in ProTools?

    I have problems with the function 'share' on my Mac: I am trying to export high-quality video/audio off ss12 to continue work in ProTools.  The format, in that I work is directly from my camera the rx100 Sony (see screenshot which shows the format during playback in QuickTime 10).  If I choose 'get info' Codec appears as H.264, AAC, size 1920 x 1080.

    As part of 'Share' I chose "Export for display on the computers files" - I guess that it is the highest quality.

    Formats to 'Share' I tried:

    1 AVCHD - but this file could not be opened by my Mac.

    2 MPEG - opens in Quicktime 10, but in QuickTime 7, there is no sound.  When I imported it in ProTools 10, there is no audio data.

    3 QuickTime - ok imported into ProTools, but the aspect ratio is now 4:3 with a mailbox at the top / bottom.  I want my full-quality 1920, who came out of the camera.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    We start by

    3 QuickTime - ok imported into ProTools, but the aspect ratio is now 4:3 with a mailbox at the top / bottom.  I want my full-quality 1920, who came out of the camera.

    If your video specifications source are HD 1440 x 1080 anamorphic 16:9, then the project or you set the project preset for

    NTSC

    AVCHD

    HD1080i30

    When you export the Timeline with the source, then

    Publish + share

    Computer

    QuickTime

    with Presets = NTSC DV 16:9

    Click the Advanced button, and then go to the 'Video' tab in the export settings dialog box that appears.

    NEC the H.264 video codec and then put the rest of the fields as shown in the screenshot. The goal is H.264.mov file (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second).

    Included, I put a check mark next to limit data rate to 12000 Kbps (kilobits per second). You can adjust this value if you try to compromise between the bitrate (flow), the file size and quality.

    Make sure that you delete any channel icon in the box to the right of the width and height fields so that you can type in not 1440 x 1080, 1920 x 1080. Note also the other parameters I put in place.

    Be sure to have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere elements 12.

    Your first task should be to define what sustains this ProTools program and then we decide if Premiere Elements offers a such export. I'll leave the ProTools part up to you.

    Looking forward to your follow up if you're looking for additional export opportunities for your exports of Premiere Elements. For any questions, or need clarification, please do not forget to ask.

    Thank you.

  • Issue PDF export with transparency in RGB

    Hello

    I was not able to find a similar problem already on the forum/Google. I create an indesign document using the RGB colors I want to export for use on the screen. On some pages, there are shapes with shadows on other pages, there is no shadow.

    When initially, I tried to export to PDF, I noticed by looking at the PDF the same gray color text would be different on the pages of these pages without shadows shadows.

    I read on the 'transparency cutting space' to change from CMYK to RGB so I tried this. I put the documents 'transparency cutting space' at the ROYAL Botanic Gardens and tried to export again. This time, gray seems to be consistent on all pages, but the text on pages with shadows seems to be looking more pale or thinner than the text on the pages without shadows (shadows are applied to the shapes on the page, not to the text itself).

    When you export to PDF, I use the following...

    Adobe PDF preset: high quality printing

    Output: Conversion of color: no color Conversion

    Please could someone suggest what I do wrong?

    Best regards

    Ian

    Software version: Indesign CS3 - Mac

    Ive cracked Ian,

    what you need to do Ian is

    1. put your pictures on a layer and the text on another.

    2. then order your layers so that the text is on the top.

    3. create a new layer of a large white box covering everything and put that on the bottom of the order layers

  • Bad display quality PDF - export to AutoCAD

    My goal is to effectively publish my drawings of the multi of AutoCAD Map to a single PDF file for e-mailing to my clients who do not have AutoCAD and want to open a PDF file on their device of choice.

    The file should look like it will print seen on the screen of the client with any what Viewer PDF (web or desktop) and it must have a sufficient resolution for printing on paper 11 x 17, without loss of quality.

    The problem I have is with my Appendix at the end of my output document pages.

    The appendix is made from the material data sheets (files to PDF in AutoCAD) and framed by my title block, and some PDF files appear badly on the screen. (Some of them display wrong but fine print, but is not a acceptable deliverable to my customer).

    Seems a perfectly good Source PDF for the last page of the manufacturer: http://Unirac.com/wp-content/uploads/BSK-PDF-Manager/6_SM-2703-CERTIFICATION_6.PDF

    If you zoom in you can see, it is a raster image, but there must be something not-so-good happening results to look so bad when the source is perfectly readable.

    Drawing attention to the last page where the problem lies:

    Here is a screenshot of the last page of this file read through the PDF of Google Drive Viewer: http://screencast.com/t/VeMOFeNNYjB

    This file was printed in the format PDF by using the command post of AutoCAD LT 2015 on my mac with the latest OS: El Capitan 10.11.4

    https://files.Acrobat.com/a/preview/9cd47e59-ded0-470A-ADAC-6aed8cc10338

    This file was printed in the format PDF by using the command post from 2014 AutoCAD on my PC for Windows 10

    https://files.Acrobat.com/a/preview/c2ad141b-E1BC-4C18-A52A-fbe09537df38

    This file is 1/5th the size of that produced by my mac but still as bad the last page displays.

    To summarize:

    Question 1) 5 x greater PDF export from the Mac version of AutoCAD

    Question 2) terribly screen display of some PDF files when PDF raster sources are set in the AutoCAD file.

    I won't pretend to know if this is a bug with AutoDesk product or Adobe, so I reported the problem to the two companies.

    Adobe: Let me know if there is anything more I can give you to help you determine and solve this problem.

    I have downloaded and open the files that you pointed to.

    Observations.

    (1) none of the questions here are associated with Adobe products. With any component Acrobat PDF files were not created.

    (2) the file created from AutoCAD on Mac OS is entirely to 600 dpi color raster Imaging by using ZIP compression, on the other hand, the file created from AutoCAD under Windows uses text and vector where possible with compressed lossy JPEG raster images. This explains the huge difference in size (and ironically quality - the smaller file is better)!

    (3) the pages of http://unirac.com/wp-content/uploads/bsk-pdf-manager/6_SM-2703-CERTIFICATION_6.pdf are in fact images JPEG2000 compressed at 150 dpi with no text and no vector. Even if Adobe desktop and mobile software PDF has no problem with raster JPEG2000 images, various third-party viewers are not so robust. The artifacts you see via http://screencast.com/t/VeMOFeNNYjB are likely due to a weak implementation of JPEG2000. JPEG high quality or compression ZIP (Flate) would have eliminated this particular problem!

  • Quality PDF export from InDesign and Photoshop problems

    Hello.

    I have problems exporting my InDesign files to PDF and keeping the Res. And it's not only images (I understand on the CIO) is the guy over there too.

    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?

    At the time of high resolution when I export jpeg or eps but not PDF.

    I also noticed the same problem when I export to PDF from Photoshop.

    I really need to create interactive and high quality print PDF of my InDesign files.

    Please can you advise.

    Thank you

    Sounds like it might be that the setting resolution in Acrobat is not corresponding to the screen.

    Click on the Advanced button in the print dialog box and make sure that "Print to a file" is not checked.

    I am producing a book and by inserting the digitised photographs.  The problem is that a lot of photos are pixelated as long as I can see them in "normal" mode.  Most, but not all are clear when I go to the 'presentation' view, but some come to ok, then a few seconds later, they become very grainy.   Here are my questions:

    1. all print ok regardless of the view?

    2. What is the best protocol to import?   I'm currently scanning at 1200 dpi, import in Lightroom where I edit, then export as tiff or jpeg with a resolution of 400 pixels per inch.

    How is quality, if you click with the right mouse click on an image and change the display quality.

    If you print, you should not print directly from InDesign, export to PDF and print from Acrobat.

    Important in InDesign is the effective resolution, normally of high quality, it comes to 300ppi, images are used in RGB with color profile, if transparency is included use psd, otherwise use a jpg with quality.
