History of PDF

Image
A Short History of PDF Adobe Systems made the PDF specification available free of charge in 1993. In the early years PDF was popular mainly in desktop publishing workflows and the first PDF Export was created for PageMaker 5 by Mapsoft . PDF competed with a variety of formats such as DjVu, Envoy, Common Ground Digital Paper, Farallon Replica and even Adobe's own PostScript format. Released as an ISO standard PDF was a proprietary format controlled by Adobe until it was released as an open standard on July 1, 2008, and published by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO 32000-1:2008,[5][6] at which time control of the specification passed to an ISO Committee of volunteer industry experts. In 2008, Adobe published a Public Patent License to ISO 32000-1 granting royalty-free rights for all patents owned by Adobe that are necessary to make, use, sell, and distribute PDF-compliant implementations.[7] PDF 1.7, the sixth edition of the PDF specification and the version

Illustrator Scripts for changing colors

Image
  Illustrator Scripts for changing colors These are two scripts that are almost identical but one uses RGB colours and the other CMYK. For these to work correctly the Illustrator document needs to be put into the correct color mode (RGB or CMYK) from the File menu/Document Color Mode. The parts of the scripts that you would need to change are at the top of the scripts. So for example in the CMYK variant of the script you would need to change one or more of the four values for the original color (the color that you are searching for) and the new color that you are replacing it with. Be aware that this code is searching for paths and not images or text. For it to work with text it should have been converted to outlines before the code is run. The code could be enhanced to add this additional functionality. It would also be possible to add a CEP (HTML and JavaScript) user interface so that users could change the colors that way rather than directly in the script. You will also see two fla

Considerations for PDF Creation

Image
Mastering PDF Creation: Ensuring Quality and Efficiency There are several things to consider when creating PDF files from various sources to ensure that the final product is of high quality and suitable for its intended use. To begin, consider the source of the content that will be included in the PDF. If the content is scanned from a physical document, make sure the scanner is of high quality and that the document is properly aligned and lit before scanning. If the content is created electronically, it is critical to ensure that the layout and formatting are consistent, and that any images or graphics included are of high resolution especially if the pdf is going to be printed. Following that, it is critical to consider the PDF's intended use. If the PDF will be printed, it is critical that it is properly formatted for print and that any images or graphics included are of high resolution (see the adobe help system on print production tools ). If the PDF will be primarily used for
