Hi,

I've got approx 30 images to place into a Pagemaker file (guide book). Problem is the images have come to me as original size, not cropped as requested. They all have a 0.2mm butting line border that I want to remove, crop the images to size and then re-assign the 0.2mm butting line border.

Can anyone help please?

Also, is it possible to trick your Mac to think that there is a Postscript Printer installed to enable the creation of a PDF file for the completed guide book?

Thanks for reading.
Phil

Are you asking someone on the forum to do the editing in Photoshop? You've got to be kidding, right?

>>Also, is it possible to trick your Mac to think that there is a Postscript Printer installed to enable the creation of a PDF file for the completed guide book?<<

There are two steps to creating a PDF - (1) creation of a postscript file and (2) distilling the postscript to PDF. Installing a virtual printer such as the Adobe PS printer will allow you to make a postscript file. But it cannot make the PDF. You will need Distiller to do that. If you have a copy of Pagemaker, you also have a copy of Distiller (and also a virtual postscript printer, although perhaps not the latest version) right there on the same CD.
 
You can crop images and put aborder round them in PM.

Problem is the images have come to me as original size,
charge for cleaning up images and make sure your spec for accepting images is exactly what you require.



Iechyd da! John
