resizing pages? - 2008/07/13 07:13 I need to resize my pages to 7x10.5 inches and make them 300dpi (i figured that part out) and save it in tif with Lzw turned on. I know how to save the file in 300dpi and save it as a tif file but what does "lzw" mean and how can i make the page 7x10.5 ?

Re:resizing pages? - 2008/09/02 16:38 Hi BattleBoy,

You can change the page size by going to File then Page Format.

You then change the Custom Size (in points) to as follows:
Width - 504
Height - 756

Because:
7 inch = 504 (computer)
10.5 inch = 756 point (computer)

Margins:
Generally, leave as default: if need to change for certain reason, use the conversion URL below.

You can do your own conversion's here using this conversion tool at this URL: http://www.unitconversion.org/unit_converter/ typography.html

As for LZW compression, that is described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged_Image_File_Format

"The TIFF offers the option of using LZW compression, a lossless data-compression technique for reducing a file's size"

I believe this is used when exporting TIFF files.

Hope this helps.
