Plotting a pdf to a specific pixel size

[Kat]

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if there was an easy way to create a specific size of a pdf.

 

For example, I need to create some pdfs for a website that are 900 X 695 (pixel ratio) which ends up being around 3" X 2.32" with a 300 DPI.

 

I am updating some floorplans on a website with a non-user friendly program and if I can just update the specific pdfs with the same size updates, it should go much more smoothly.

 

I hope this makes sense!

Why are you doing it in PDF? I would use printscreen and paste into my favorite pic editor. If you need PDF try setting some custom paper sizes.

I am printing to a a pdf because I think it will give me a higher quality resolution. I have tried some custom paper sizes, but they don't work very well. Any other ideas?

 

Thanks!

Can't you plot to JPG or PNG? Wouldn't that save a step?

Sorry for my delay in response! I looked into the JPG and PNG option. (Never used those options before!) They didn't have custom sizes as far as I can see. I think I will just have to pick a larger size, make a jpg and then resize it in an editor.

 

Thanks for your input!

Hi All again,

 

Thanks for the replies! I used a couple suggestions I found here for my problem. Turns out the website that I am uploading these floorplans to prefers *.jpgs, so I used the Publish to Web JPG and set it at a very high pixel resolution so I could resize it later. I had never used the jpg creator before, seeing as how most applications need pdfs or dwg files. I then used a picture editor to crop and resize to the right dimensions for the website. The resolution is very nice and crisp with *.jpgs so I think this will come in handy later.
