Pagemaker application technology question and answer (1-11)

1. Q: Is it a transparent background in PS and then stored in Tif format? Why do I import PM with white edges?

A: When printing Photoshop images or placing them in other applications, you may only want to display part of the image. For example, you may want to print or display foreground objects and exclude their rectangular background. The image clipping path allows you to separate the foreground objects and make the outer area of ​​the objects transparent when you print the image or place the image in other applications. This allows you to place the image in other files without dimming the background of other files. To store a path as an image clipping path: 1 Draw and save a path or convert an existing selection into a path. (That is, you can only use the path tool to map it. Remember to name the path after it has been drawn. Otherwise, you cannot use Clipping Path.) 2 Choose Clip Path from the Path palette menu. 3 For Path, choose the path you want to store. 4 For best results with most images, leave the flatness value blank to print the image using the printer's default values. If you encounter a printing error, enter the new flatness value. The value can range from 0.2 to 100. In general, it is recommended to set the flatness value from 8 to 10 for high resolution printing (1200 dpi to 2400 dpi) and 1 to 3 for low resolution printing (300 dpi to 600 dpi). The Postscript interpreter creates curve segments by linking a series of straight line segments. The flatness setting of the clipping path determines how close the line segment is to the curve. The lower the flatness value, the more the number of straight lines used to draw the curve and the more accurate the curve. 5 Click OK. 6. Store your TIF image on it.

2, Q: How to insert a table in pagemaker6.5

A: Generally use the built-in TABLE 3.0 to tell the whole copy of the form. At the same time, press CTRL and E to paste it and then put it into it to see if it can. If the PM's own form software cannot be used, the stupid approach is to use the hand in the PM. painting. In addition can also be used for cd die (after exporting 300dpi then put into PM can be done) Remember cd format do not delete, in case you need to change!

3. Q: If you can't do gradients and shadows in the PM, what methods can be used to make gradients and shadows faster and better?

A: The current PM version (6.5) does not have these features, but it is not certain that the advanced version will be. In fact, we can do these effects in PS, save it into TIF and then put it into PM, of course, can also be in the CD Doing well, but in the gradient of the production of vector graphics software, there will be a ladder in the printing of the status quo, only as a picture can solve this problem, PM restrictions too much, adobe indesign can solve these problems!

4, Q: How to open the MAC machine PAGEMAKER 6.5 Traditional Chinese version of the file on the PC open.

A: First use TRANSMAC to turn an Apple file into a PC file, and then I don't need to say it.

5, Q: I put the EPS diagram of AI8's output into PM6.5, display and print are all mosaics. How can I use an ordinary printer (my Epson Photo1270) to properly print the EPS image placed in the PM?

A: The first point to explain is that the mosaic phenomenon does not affect future printing, and ordinary printers do not have the ability to interpret POSTscript. So the printed EPS is a mosaic. PM should print EPS graphics on general printers (non-PS printers), only print them as PDFs, and then print the PDF files with ACROBAT.

6, Q: In the PM placed in the EPS graphics, the color seems to change after the education (color cast)? Such as Y100M100 red feel a little red and purple, and in the PM to draw a graphic fill Y100M100 feels very red. In addition, the pictures (photos) in the EPS graphics are also light after being printed, and the images directly placed in the PM are printed well. I feel that the EPS file is a problem. How does the color printing be accurate?

A: This is the PM's bug. The PM can confirm the colors of the PM. The image colors of other formats are all displayed as an impression. You can observe carefully. The TIFF format picture is placed in the PM, and the displayed color will also be displayed. Incorrect, but there is one thing you can rest assured that does not affect the output, the reason is very simple, PM in the output is the need to connect the file, so the output is directly to the output of the connection file, but not in the PM image Output as an object

7, Q: PM has a lot of color library, in the premise of distinguishing between spot colors and RGB, CYMK, whether it is free to use the colors in each color library, the output does not specifically require the use of a color library color.

A: Generally try to use CMYK, unless you need special colors.

Q: I actually clicked on the picture in the PM and actually came out with the hero picture viewer. How can I use the PS to edit the picture after double-clicking the picture?
A: This is a file association problem. That is to say, the original association has been replaced by a hero-viewing program. The solution is to reset it in the folder option in the explorer. It is to find this type of file and then put it. File association changed to PS on OK! ! ! Hold down ALT on the PC and double-click it. Hold OPTION in the MAC.

8, Q: In the pagemaker, A4 size of the file, why must put 20M, 3400 * 2500 pictures appear to be clear, and placed 200K, 1860 * 1200 pictures mosaic? The latter is very clear on the screen? Is it related to resolution or something? A: You create a new A4 (210mmX297mm) 300DPI file in PS and then drag that 200k guy into it. In fact, the graphics in PM are all typesetting. Simple and fuzzy way to show, in order to speed up the speed. You do not look at that thought not.

9. Q: Why can't I type text in the PM and I can't wrap it automatically, that is, no matter how many words I play, I'm in a line. I zoom in and see that the words I played all overlap. That is why ah? Please expert help me.
A: As long as you double text toolbar tool, the dialog box will pop up text specifications, do not tick the ticks.

10. Q: How does the compound font in PM work?

11, Q: pagemake file (.p65), open with pm, I want to export the page into a jpg picture how lead? And the exported picture should be able to see the small words inside.

Please elaborate as much as possible, to specify the specific menus and buttons, because PM I use it for the first time, because the only electronic document the customer can provide is this, and I need to use the entire page inside to do the webpage.

A: There are two ways

First, copy the screen directly, copy the content of the PM into the PS paste, can be spliced ​​up and down, but if there are pictures in the inside please use high-precision display.

Second, set the printer to Adobe Distiller, print the file to the EPS, and then open the EPS in the PS, choose to open the resolution of 72dpi, and then merge the layers, save as jpg on it.
