How do I turn a PowerPoint slide into a PDF so that it can be printed big at printing and mailing.?
On a mac (OS X): In PowerPoint go to print, and then click on the "Save as PDF" button on the bottom of the menu. Very simple. Now have them insert a blank cd, drag the PDF to the CD and eject it to burn it.
On a PC (with a scanner build): For the PC version of this it is ideal that they use one of the three scanner PCs. In PowerPoint there is a little acrobat button in the upper left corner of the screen. Click on it and it will export the current slide as a PDF. Save it, insert a blank CD, drag file to cd, and then click "write files to CD" in upper left hand menu.
Also, Printing and mailing services can print ppt posters directly from PC.
Does the printer just say “ready,” or is there an error message? If there is an error message, is it a 49.4CO2 service error or a "Perform Printer Maintenance" error? Is it out of, or low on, toner, paper? If it is a different type of hardware error message, try to fix it and if you cannot, please place an out of order sign on the printer, turn it off, and HEAT it.
If it is not a hardware problem and the file won’t print, make sure you have saved the document. Make sure you are logged in. If too many people are trying to print at once, a lot of jobs get sent to the print queue at roughly the same time and it can get blocked up. Picture viewer programs often have printing problems. Sometimes a file is too big for a printer’s memory. Images headed to a black and white printer should not be larger than 6.5 MB, and images headed to the color printer should not be larger than 15 MBs. This size problem happens most often with Acrobat (.pdf) files, which are huge. Trying printing the file one page at a time. TIFF files are also generally too big to print because TIFF is an uncompressed format. 150 ppi should be the maximum resolution for any image. Most should print at 75-120. Perhaps Acrobat is printing a pdf not created in its program. Try printing the pdf another way. Check the Ethernet cables. Restart the computer or printer if you need to plug in an Ethernet cable. Try moving to a different computer with a different OS. If none of these solutions fix the problem, there is probably something wrong with the file. If you can copy the contents to a new file, try that. Floppies get damaged very easily, so files on floppies often become corrupted and will not print.
Converting Word files to PDF
If you are on a PC, and your Microsoft Word document is under a page, one easy solution is to open your Word document in Adobe Illustrator, and then save the Illustrator file with your Word document in it as a PDF file. For longer documents, it becomes more difficult, but one solution is to copy and paste your Word document page by page, by using InDesign? in Illustrator (which allows you to set the number of pages in your Illustrator document).
If you're on a Mac, an even easier solution exists. Go to File -> Print... Then on the bottom of the Print window select "Save as PDF..."
Why won't AdobeAcrobat open my eReserves?
Currently some of the computers, specifically in the libe, aren't set to automatically open the eReserves with Acrobat, instead it may try to use OmniPage, which will not work. So, in order to open the files you should selct "open with" and then you will have to browse the program files to find AdobeAcrobat to open the file.
