THE QUALITY OF THE IMAGE GETS WORSE THOUGH BY DOING IT
@thompinho759810 ай бұрын
You're right. There's only so many pixels to go around. See, the folks this is meant for are coming from powerpoint originally. The quality was never going to be truly 300dpi (or anywhere near that) to start. (Powerpoint doesn't play like that.) And these instructions are to help users making posters for a class assignment that's going to be viewed from at least a few feet away. Anything more than 150dpi at that point is just wasteful. But for your case, I'm assuming you're trying to be helpful in the comments and are a power user of all things design related... so you understand the "garbage in/garbage out" principle holds true- and if you paid proper attention to your PDF compression settings on the first go around- then there'd be no problem right? Plus, I'm sure you're expert enough of a user to keep things in vector format and stayed away from bitmapped fonts - so scaling is a non-issue for you!

@@thefvguy5648 Unfortunately you’re kinda gonna be stuck with the pixels you’ve got. Depending on the comic print type, you might have some luck with a higher resolution scan, but, likely, you’re just going to have to deal with the character of a low res print at large scale- or redraw the items in vector format. Other software could help, (illustrator, Inkscape, etc) but not Acrobat. Good luck! Enjoy your project!

This was such a huge help... I spent *hours* posting on forums, searching instructions... everything... this is the only place I could find a real explanation on how to resize a PDF. I tried resizing the PDF at first by exporting the PDF pages then opening them in Photoshop... but Photoshop would then rasterize the image which converted the image into pixels and ruined the quality... spent all day trying to figure this out and your 2 minute and 20 second video was the explanation I needed all along. Thank you!!!

Thank you SO much for the clear, succinct explanation - I was going around in circles online on people's blogs trying to get me to use their tools, but I was thinking surely, surely it can't be that complicated to resize a PDF! I simply need my PDF to be certain dimensions and couldn't believe how hard it was to find the answer to this seemingly simple basic task. Thank you so much!
@user-uy3eq5hg1s Жыл бұрын
Same here! I was going nuts... spent all day trying to figure this out. Have a graphic novel project that I'm working on but needed to resize the pages to match a trim size required by the printer. At first I tried exporting the pages of the graphic novel as individual PDFs, then opening each page in Photoshop, resizing each page and then resaving as PDFs... big mistake! As it turns out, Photoshop rasterized the PDFs in other words turned them from vector graphics into pixel graphics which completely messed up the quality of the images and text. I spent hours doing it this way with Photoshop before realizing what was happening. Went to Photoshop forums... no one answered. Looked all around the internet... no explanations. Then I found this 2 minute and 20 second video from someone who sounds like they work at a school (by the way he said Acrobat Pro is available in the library) and it was the exact method I needed! Just crazy... I swear sometimes it feels like Adobe makes their software purposely convoluted so you have to pay an expert to help.

Thank goodness this is an early try at reducing this. My page contains both crop marks and bleed marks, so the page did reduce to 11.125" wide, but that dimension was measured to the very tips of the bleed crop marks, not the actual trim size. I am having no luck reducing this via the acrobat Preflight...as there is no option to reduce pages... as shown on the webpage (that was mac set of instructions. I am using a PC.) Any ideas?

Agreed... it's bizarre that you have to go to the PRINT menu in order to resize a PDF file... what are they thinking? Why can't they just have this in the Tools section or even the "Save As" menu? I never would have thought so many important options are tucked away in the Print menu of the program.
