I am quite new to Illustrator and would like to create my new CV using Illustrator CC. Like in Word, I would like to have a border so that when my CV is printed, the text etc. is not to close to the edge of the paper. However, I don't know how to create a standard sized border in Illustrator CC for DIN A4. Can anyone help?
You can create a new document with papersize A4 and set the required border with the guides and place your content inside it.

Good day good people of Stackoerflow,
I encountered the following problem, I cannot resize textbox in Illustrator or Images.Example for image
example for text
I tried the Free Transform Tool it didn't help. I am using Illustrator CC 21.0.2 64-bits.
for image: -click on the image after look top tool bars your show a tool "transform" please look below image.
click this menu fix height and width and after that make a new template and copy paste to this image and export in .png format with 72 ppi resolution
The text box maybe set to 'automatic' in the Type>Area Type Options... Uncheck the option and it should fix the issue
I'm using iText with Java to create a PDF file. I'm trying to place a paragraph on left, and float an image on right (e.g. next to each other). Using the following code does insert the image, but it also makes the text fuzzy on the entire page (other pages are fine).
// add image
Image img = Image.getInstance(imgPath);
img.setAlignment(Image.RIGHT | Image.TEXTWRAP);
img.scaleToFit(1000, 72f); // 1" height
//img.setSpacingBefore(0f); // does not have any effect
document.add(img);
// add text
Paragraph par = new Paragraph("some text here", styleBody);
par.setSpacingBefore(20f);
document.add(par);
If I remove the image portion of the code, the text looks clean. This is my first attempt at adding an image next to text. Must be doing something obviously wrong. Any idea what could cause this?
I was able to solve this problem. The code above is perfectly fine. The problem was I was using a PNG image with transparency. When I removed the transparency (by re-exporting the image from Illustrator with transparency turned off), I was able to create PDFs with clear text.
I think the transparency forces the PDF page to be written in CMYK color scheme rather than RGB, which perhaps causes this issue.
Hope this helps someone else. I searched everywhere but couldn't find any leads talking about fuzzy text in iText.
I am trying to crop a region out of a PDF page programmatically. Specifically, my input is going to be a single page PDF and a bounding box on the page. Output is going to be a PDF that contains the characters, graphics paths and images from the original PDF, and it should look like the original PDF. In other words, I want a function that is similar to cropping a region out of an image, but with PDFs.
Three questions:
Is it at all possible to do? From my knowledge of PDFs, it seems possible. But I'm no expert, so I would like to know first if there are some things I'm missing here.
Is there any open source software for this?
Can PDFBox do this currently? I couldn't find such a functionality but I might have missed it. Does anybody know of any attempt of doing this?
1- Yes, this is called the crop box.
2- Yes, e.g. PDFBox.
3- Yes, just open a PDF, set a crop box, and save it:
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File(...));
PDPage page = doc.getPage(0);
page.setCropBox(new PDRectangle(20, 20, 200, 400));
doc.save(...);
doc.close();
The numbers in PDRectangle are user space units. 1 unit = 1/72 inches.
Note that the contents outside the cropbox are not gone, they are just hidden.
I received some new task and its completly new for me to create program which would loop through directory images and place them into photoshop At layout template. Around 10 pictures per a4 photoshop template so 5 rows and 2 columns. If the template is filled out then next a4 photoshop template will be created and again past 5x2 and again and agin till images are filled in. The problem is i have no idea how to achieve that. Can you advise me how to do that or give some samples?
Best regards,
coder
I have an A5 sized doc file that needs to be printed, yet the press needs them on A4 sized pages, centered, unscaled. When trying to export it from Office Word, you can adjust paper size, but only the left and top margins are kept and the content is spread in width to fill the paper (text size remains unchanged). I've tried PDF Architect / PDF Creator, but when it's about printing on A4 sized pages, the result is messed up fonts, messed up line wrapping and worse quality images.
Are there any tools that can preserve size, scale (in this case, centered and no scale), font, line wrapping and image quality as well or is it too much to ask from free tools? Proprietary tools are no option at the moment.
MS Word has poor options for exporting the PDF
I see some ways to resolve the issue:
Change size of paper in Word then manually recalculate and change size of margins (make like original page is in the center of bigger)
But best solution I see is to find appropriate options for printing device which should print the document (like "don't resize original doc pages, centered; output page size A4")
Try to emulate printing with http://www.dopdf.com/ (or similar) software. I'm pretty sure that it's possible to "print to pdf" with your requirements and then you got PDF which you can use for printing on real device
