Can I import a PDF to Publisher 2000?
"Matt Beals" wrote in message ... Rather than ruining a perfectly good PDF by rasterizing it you can open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional (*not reader*) and save it as a EPS file. That way it can be placed into Publisher and Publisher can't mess with the colors or content. You can try placing the PDF into Adobe InDesign and save a EPS from there. If worse comes to worse you can open the PDF in Illustrator by placing it into Illustrator. Do not *open* it with Illustrator. And lastly as the previous poster said, you can always open it in PhotoShop. But that really should be a last ditch effort. Depending on how big the PDF is you can email it to me and I'll save it as a EPS for you. Thanks, but we used a corrected label over the print out from the pdf and faxed that. Now, I'm just trying to learn how to do this for any future need (Just to know) I don't have Adobe Professional. I thought about Illustrator, or some other program. I might have saved it as a text file to open in Word, too? (from the adobe reader page) It probably didn't have to be a pdf to print out and fax. If I could open it as text (to edit) then print that and fax it, it might have worked, too. I just like how nice a pdf prints and where my scanner/fax - via Win 98 isn't that great (I rarely use it) it needs to have the best quality printout possible. I'm always amazed when I send a fax and it goes through and they get it. We're waiting now to make sure it went through okay and could be read (LOL) ~ Carrie Matt Beals Consultant Enfocus Certified Trainer Apago, Calls, Gradual & Markzware Recognized Trainer (206) 618-2537 - Cell (720) 367-3869 - eFax Come visit me at: http://www.mattbeals.com http://www.actionlistexchange.net http://www.mattbeals.com/blog/ Friends don't let friends write HTML email On 11/19/06 7:46 AM, in article , "Rob Giordano (Crash)" wrote: Do you have Photoshop?

Can I import a PDF to Publisher 2000?
"JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ... There are scads of ways to edit a .pdf file with Publisher - and none of them will do as good a job as asking the file's originator for a copy of the file and then using the native program to edit it. Oh, we could have had the person send a corrected email to sign and fax. But this has to do with the closing on a house, which was supposed to be last Fri, but had to be postponed till Weds (and the people have a deadline to move out so need it all settled) We got the email Fri night the person sending it (in CA) was gone for the weekend till Monday morning (CA time we are on the East Coast) so would have had to wait till Monday noon (today) call and if he was in (or leave a message) ask him to redo it and send it via email again. We found someone in the office who said it should be fine to put the corrected address over it (it was only a form to sign for disclosure of a credit file, but it had "property address" for the house the mortgage will be on, incorrect) We're not waiting to hear back from the person it was faxed to, making sure he got it and it's all okay. When I realized I needed to change something on the pdf file, I wondered what was the best way to do it. I have Primo to save as pdf but don't have Acrobat professional to open them in. I assume the paperwork I changed and faxed is okay, but wanted to learn about doing this anyway. I keep finding out new things the programs I have will do, or ways to do them, I had no idea were there and possible. ~ Carrie -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Matt Beals" wrote in message ...

Can I import a PDF to Publisher 2000?
You are so right Matt
Others read this and look for things in SEARCH and it's good to put all ways. I know you can buy Acrobat and use it for saving and editing, but I really don't know anything about it (except it's expensive and I wouldn't use it enough) I'm one of those people who write "too much" to figuring it's good to know all the facts and aspects about it. Not so much on this group, but on other groups people have commented on this, like I have to write a saga or essay about everything. People like us, who offer to help and give all the info we can about something are REALLY into sharing. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, I think it's good. Going by some of the groups and newsgroups I've been on this one is very peaceful, kind and helpful. Though I have been jumped on a few times for something I've written. It's a wonder people on internet groups get along as well as they usually do. Thanks for sharing and for your offer. If I had to have it changed on the pdf directly, and had more time, I'd have taken you up on it. Just trying to get a closing on a house and moving in done as soon as possible. (if you've ever bought or sold a house you probably know what I mean (LOL) ~ Carrie "Matt Beals" wrote in message ... True, she did state that. Fortunately more than Carrie reads these posts. So in the interest of completeness, for her an everyone else, I included that as well as several other ways of working the PDF to get a usable EPS for Publisher. Also of note is my offer to make an EPS of the PDF for her if she still needs that done. I haven't seen anyone else here offer such a thing. Which is surprising to me. Most of the lists that I am a member of we treat a community as such, a community where people help each other how ever best they can. Including doing things like saving an EPS, RIPping a job, trapping, working a file by hand, etc as well as professional advice.

"Rob Giordano (Crash)" wrote in message ... Yep. BTW... Acrobat 8 Pro is awesome - I'll be depressed when my trial runs out :-( although I think I can qualify for the STE. I just don't know anytime I would be using it. I can use PRIMO to save in. Now I'm thinking I could have probably saved the pdf doc I got as text in Word, edited and printed it out. It was just going to be faxed, so didn't have to be pdf. I could have saved it in Word as text and then saved it back to pdf using the PRIMO which works with my printer?

"Mary Sauer" wrote in message ... You can always try this, Carrie. It is rather complicated but it does work Converting PDF Files So that they can be imported into Publisher http://ed.mvps.org/Static.aspx?=Publisher/convertpdf I love this stuff. I don't even know what to call it (playing around with Publisher, etc) (LOL) I love learning new things about it, even if I don't really need to know at the time, but just to know. After all that with changing (correcting) the address on the documents I had recieved as pdf, and faxing them back the person who got them (Mortgage co) said it didn't really matter as long as they were signed. They were just to release credit reports for the person getting the mortgage. But I sure have (and am) learning from it. And, I probably could have saved the pdf docs as text in WORD, made the corrections and printed them out (or faxed them right from Word) Now that I think of it. I love this newsgroup! Sometimes I stop reading here because when I do I don't get much else in my life done (LOL) Don't know what, if anything I'll ever do with what I learn but I do love doing it. I just used publisher 2000 to make a calendar with pictures (even though it makes the date part smaller because each page is on regular printer paper- well I used "cover stock" paper) I made a calender like that to see if I could then converted it to pdf using PRIMO and found out how to put it on a webpage as a download. When downloaded it will print right from acrobat (etc) the 12 pages. It's only the first attempt, to practice and learn, but I am psyched just by doing it. http://www.kingcon.com/starchild/calendar.html I guess it's not too professional going by what others do here- and those with actual jobs doing things like this, but it's the first time and I'm excited about it. I'm saving the directions for converting pdf in my tutorial files. I like to learn how to do things just to know how to do them. You know, people like to put down microsoft, but if it wasn't for them and Windows I probably wouldn't be doing what I am now (that I love to do) And these groups- which we can get at no cost, are the BEST.

Since it was going | to | | be faxed this seemed acceptable (the person getting it knew it was being | | done, we didn't want to wait while he corrected it and emailed it to me | | again) Just seemed like there might be an easier way that doesn't | involve | | buying Acrobat, which I can't afford and would rarely use. | | | | Thanks, | | Carrie | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Can I import a pdf to Publisher 2000?
Actually it was through a poorly written contract on Apples part that
Microsoft was able to further develop the GUI. If Apple had written the contract better then Windows wouldn't be as it is. Of course, Apple basically stole the idea of the GUI and the mouse from Xerox. So not only can we thank Xerox for Xerography (another way of photocopying) but we can also thank them for what is essentially modern computing through a graphical interface. If it wasn't for the GUI, we'd all be using a command line and strings of commands rather than a "drag this here, click twice there" world. So the ubiquitous computer wouldn't be so ubiquitous. Microsoft didn't do it first, they did it bigger. Credit does go to them no doubt, but not all of it Matt Beals Consultant Enfocus Certified Trainer Apago, Calls, Gradual & Markzware Recognized Trainer (206) 618-2537 - Cell (720) 367-3869 - eFax Come visit me at: http://www.mattbeals.com http://www.actionlistexchange.net http://www.mattbeals.com/blog/ Friends don't let friends write HTML email You know, people like to put down microsoft, but if it wasn't for them and Windows I probably wouldn't be doing what I am now (that I love to do) Thanks for all the time and patience ~ Carrie |
