    transparent image backgrounds

    The JPEG clipping path works only a) created by PhS b) applied in PM (and hopefully in PhS) JPEG standards don´t define clippinging paths, it´s a special "application", embedded by PhS. Should be avoided, a nonsensical concept. Clipping paths by TIFF or EPS are always OK. Best...

    imported tiff much darker! why?

    Roman, you may look here: http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/colorman12032002.pdf CMYKs cannot be shown correctly without PM´s Color Management. Note: PM doesn´t modify the source files, it´s just the preview. Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

    PDF to Pagemaker?? Possible?

    viol8ion, you are right, but the original poster had only a problem like mine: recover a file. No, editing is not possible, but you can add text, and cover old parts by white areas and write new text. I wanted only to show, that it works in a case of emergency. Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann...

    resizing graphics

    PM doesn´t resize raster images. Because PM is a DTP program, it enables the user to MAP any graphics file (size defined by pixels) to a size on the paper, defined by inches or centimeters. PM transfers in a PostScript workflow the original file to the printer or imagesetter, accompanied by...

    PDF to Pagemaker?? Possible?

    viol8ion: This time I disagree. Of course it´s possible to use a PDF as a source for a new PM document. Tested by PM65.2 plus + Acrobat Distiller 5.0 . Make a new empty document with the same page size and the necessary number of pages (layout, add pages). Place PDF page by page. Then Export...

    creatinging halftones for PM7

    Louie, it´s for me not clear, whether you mean by halftone a "photo" or already an 1-bit B/W bitmap with raster cells, like newspaper print. Do you mean by "screened image" the 1-bit bimap ? Then it´s essential to use "MagicStretch" in PM. a) Select in document...

    "Export *.PDF" function in PageMaker 6.5(+)

    viol8ion, thanks for the test. I had a fast look at wuli.com. Works here flawless and is interesting for me, because my wife is painting too. When I have more time I will view the paintings in large size. Anyway, pretty good work. Based on this general appreciation, may I comment the...

    "Export *.PDF" function in PageMaker 6.5(+)

    Viol8ion, thanks again. I am really annoyed, that my URL cannot be found. People may think I am stupid ... Please test again: http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/colordog.pdf This is Wulli Wedel My main page is http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann The PDFs are in "Documents" I have...

    Exporting to pdf

    Viol8ion, thanks for the reply. My link is here OK. Perhaps you believe me without the link, that I don´t have any problems with direct Export to PDF. The reason may be: Only reliable sources: txt, tiff, bmp, eps, pdf. Never doc or wmf from clipboard or other WindowBill sources. Only...

    Exporting to pdf

    vio8ion: Perhaps YOU can explain me this mystery: ALL the PDFs here were made by direct Export to PDF: http://fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/howww41a.html Direct Export to PDF preserves the links. WHERE IS THE PROBLEM ? Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

    trim marks

    Stephen: Let me add some informations: The document size should not be enlarged for bleeds. Crop- or registration marks should use the registration mark color, then they appear on all separations. Sometimes the automatic crop marks are too thick. Then one should use manually made marks...

    help adding accents to letters

    You may use the standard ASCII table by ALT+3digits. Works for "normal" fonts at least for the accents. http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/ascii.pdf Special characters by Truetype Symbol: http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/symbol.pdf Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann Errors in URL...

    hexidecimal color inconsistency

    If the graphic is a JPEG, then it can be expected, that the actual IMAGE background is slightly different after compression. Make a 16x16 pixel background JPEG and use this upscaled by HTML as page background. 16 bit color mode (instead of 24/32bit) is in most cases sufficient for photos, but...

    Importing tiffs without a background

    Ocampo: Transparency can be handled in PM only for TIFF or EPS with clipping paths. Sometimes it´s necessary to rotate 0.01° , otherwise transparency is shown as white (a bug). Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

    Publication is too large. Help!

    Sago: PM files cannot be flattened. A PM file is not a rastered page, it´s a sequence of commands how to build a page. Empty paper consumes very little space, let´s say 30kbytes for infrastructure. a) Link all images, don´t embed. b) Save better=smaller instead of faster (default). This deletes...
