Re: Can GC crop a multi-page pdf?

Maybe I finally have the answer to my problems.  I had checked the "override resolution if images ..." setting, and that messed things up.When I left that unchecked I got a much cleaner and smaller final document of only 6 Mb.Uugh.Steve

Re: Can GC crop a multi-page pdf?

<t>I'm back to things not working again, sigh.Maybe I'm doing your instructions wrongly.  All I could figure out was to use the Add/Remove Margins and take away a minus 4 inches on the right side.  This makes the file go from 3 Mb to 12 Mb, but the resolution seems to get worse.  Even the "good" pag...

Re: Can GC crop a multi-page pdf?

<t>I figured it out.  When I open the pdf in GC, the various pages open in wildly different zoom settings for some reason.  I have to manually set them each to "view at maximum size" before cropping or the text resolution gets ruined.So I got around it.  But I am really puzzled why the view resoluti...

Re: Can GC crop a multi-page pdf?

<t>Thanks for the tip.  I did it, and the pages are now the right size, but several of them have now been corrupted into very "bitty" text images.  It's like a font substitution gone awry. And the file size went from 3Mb to over 15 Mb.I don't see what went wrong.  Some of the pages are perfect, othe...

Can GC crop a multi-page pdf?

<t>I am building a 16-page concert program using Google Docs.  I could not find a way to set it up with the intended page size of 8.5 by 14 inches, folded as a booklet, so I faked it by making landscape-oriented 8.5 by 11 inch pages with page margins to get it down to what would fit on a 8.5 by 7 in...

Re: Multi-page pdf files getting "eaten", Preview opens them as blan

<t>I tried another experiment.  I emailed the 'bad' pdf file to myself and downloaded it on another Mac I have in the bedroom.  On that computer there are no missing pages when I open it and Preview works fine.On this computer there are missing pages and screwy things going on in Preview and in Chro...

Re: Multi-page pdf files getting "eaten", Preview opens them as blan

<t>I did a little more tinkering.  When I open one of the 'bad' pdfs I saved from Graphic Converter in Preview, then every pdf file I try to open after that in Preview is blank.  I can get Preview to work again if I quit it and launch it again.  Then it works right until I open one of those 'bad' pd...

Re: Multi-page pdf files getting "eaten", Preview opens them as blan

<t>I assume I'm using the "normal" version I directly downloaded from your server.  It says version 10.1.0 (2589).I tried both the ZIP and the JPEG compression filters.There is something really wrong with Preview.  Now it opens every single pdf file I try as blank, even ones that had nothing at all ...

Multi-page pdf files getting "eaten", Preview opens them as blank pa

<t>I'm a now-and-then user of Graphic Converter.  Up until two weeks ago I never had any issues.  Now I've been editing multi-page pdf files ( musical scores downloaded from IMSLP) and in the middle of work suddenly the pages go blank.The file looks OK in GC, then I save it as a pdf.  When I open it...
