    Need help - CDR to PDF

    I don't have Corel Draw, but I have a Corel Draw file (CDR) as a logo I need to use. Is there an easy way to convert the file to PDF or some other format without having to buy the software?

    grayscale photos print on all four plates

    We routinely convert photos to grayscale for our newspaper's grayscale pages, but on the rare occasion we use a grayscale photo on a process color page, we get the image on all four plates: CMY&K. In the end, the photo looks "gray" if the registration is perfect, but it would be even sharper if...

    Grayscale as K only

    Oh yes, lots and lots of options and settings. I'll post this at the Acrobat forum -- maybe they'll have some suggestions. Thanks! Joe

    Grayscale as K only

    We don't use Distiller -- we print to Adobe PDF using Acrobat Professional.

    Grayscale as K only

    Well, maybe it's not a photoshop problem then. The problem is this: When grayscale photos in process color pages are sent from Acrobat to the imagesetter, we get images on all four plates: CMY&K. In the end they look gray, but they are actually a combination of all four colors. If we had...

    Grayscale as K only

    When I convert a color photo to grayscale in Photoshop, it turns it into a CMYK combination that looks like gray, but actually is comprised of four colors. Is there a way to convert it to a single color (K "black" only) image?

    how to change page orientation

    Couldn't you just select all the art on the page and rotate it 90 degrees?

    need help making a good EPS from InDesign

    I've given this a try -- it looks good when I open it in Photoshop and it looks good when I place it in InDesign. I'd like to test it further by placing it in Illustrator, but I don't have that program on the home computer I'm using. I've sent it to the t-shirt people -- hopefully it will work...

    need help making a good EPS from InDesign

    I need some help. I'm using InDesign 2.0 on a PC. We're getting some t-shirts made and the t-shirt maker can only take the art as an EPS file. So I exported the file to EPS from InDesign, but the art looks totally wrong on the t-shirt maker's software. One font was changed to Times and the...

    Thanks a million, jmgalvin! This is a great tip and will save me a LOT of time down the road! Best regards, Joe

    Any way to change "checkerboard" background?

    Is there a way to change the gray and white checkerboard "trasparent" backgroud to white, instead of the checkerboard? I often knock the background out of images but it's really hard to see those little missed specks and smudges against the "checkerboard" I usually have to place the photo in...

    Edge of photo showing up on dark background

    Printing to Adobe PDF via Acrobat seems to work best for us, as well. We are using 2.0, but I've heard the export to PDF function on InDesign CS works much better than the export in versions 1 and 2. We found the "export" to PDF function in version 2 to be problematic, which was why we decided...

    black line through text

    Are these web site addresses? URLs in a placed Word document often come into InDesign with odd boxes around them.

    Changing spot color to a different color

    jmgalvin, Thanks for the great advice! I finally got a chance to try that and it worked great! I never noticed you could save an EPS out of Acrobat. It works just as well opening the PDF in Illustrator and then saving as an EPS from Illustrator. I really appreciate the advice! Tony, I'd love...

    Printing Resolution Limitations

    Thanks for the tips. I don't know much about distiller -- we just "Adobe PDF" from InDesign using Acrobat, without opening distiller or generating a postscript file. This is the way we were taught to do it. This approach has worked great so far, but it's nice to pick up a little knowledge about...
