Interesting, I didn’t realize they had done a webinar on this. Thanks Leslie! 🙂

Paul, this was most helpful and thanks for your thorough explanation! 🙂

Thanks for the tip Matthew! I’ll keep that in mind and will check out those websites. 🙂 

Wow, thanks for all the valuable information Chris! My question was a combo of both learning CDs for LA in general and using AutoCAD to generate CDs. I will check out my local municipalities and browse through the forums here. Thanks for addressing my second question too! Your response was very helpful! 🙂

Thanks Jordan! I saw that on Amazon, but I don’t have the budget to purchase them. I’ll check out my local library!

Thank you Tosh! I will def check out that German magazine. I know a friend who works for an Architecture company. I’ll ask him if they can give me a few copies of their CDs for learning purposes. I just checked out the website caddetails.com and I am really liking it! And thanks for also addressing my second question! 🙂

Thanks for the tip! 🙂

Ok, I will give this a try. Thank you for the tip!

Lol, thanks for the advice landplanner! 🙂

If possible, could you find out what their experience has been like so far? Thanks!

Landscape planner, I would like to know more about your Landscape Architecture job in China. I’ve noticed more job posts for entry level positions in China. What are your thoughts on the jobs out there and your experience? I graduated with a BA in LA, but I have not yet taken a job in this field since graduation. I have been thinking of applying…[Read more]

Hello Chris,
I’ve been away from Land8 for awhile as I have been busy with other things. I doubt it has to do with a link problem because it would state that when I open up the InDesign document. But regardless, is there a way to find out of a broken link?
Your second guess could be a likely problem. I will try to tinker around with the ppi to see…[Read more]

As you can see, it doesn’t make a different whether its low quality or maximum quality. I think the reason this is happening only when I convert it to an Interactive pdf is because it might have something to do with the fact that the original files are images. These are the original layers that I put together in Photoshop. I can’t remember what…[Read more]

Here’s what it looks like when I export it with a “Low” quality and keep the other settings the same.

Chris,
Honestly, I’d rather not get into too much detail and confuse the heck out of everyone. But I will keep it simply by saying that I exported the section from InDesign under “Automatic” compression at “72” ppi with a “Maximum” JPEG quality. Here’s what I got:

Chris, I tried different pdf export settings including exporting the image as jpeg, bmp and tif files and opening them up on InDesign and than exporting to pdf from there. None of the options worked. I tinkered with the compression options got the same results. Interactive=poor quality and pdf print=good quality. At this point, could I just create…[Read more]

Thank you Blair, but the problem is actually once I convert the InDesign to pdf print vs pdf interactive. It’s not blurry at all when I use “print overview.” It only gets that way as soon as it is converted to pdf. Thank you for your help though!

Thank you Jason! Sorry it took awhile to get back. I will give this a try!

Thank you Chris! Sorry it took awhile for me to get back, but this really helped!

Ok, I’ll give that a try and see what happens. Thanks!
