Copying one page

[Joy]

Is there any way to copy just one page (i.e. the front page) of a newletter
in Publisher into Word, so that I can send it by e-mail attachment to
others? The ways I've tried, it doesn't format right.

Convert to PDF instead - there's a free converter at www.primopdf.com

 

[Joy]

Thanks, Ed. I had downloaded primopdf a while back for something else. So
once it's in pdf, are you saying I can copy from there into Word, or rather
that I should attach the pdf file to e-mals?

Word, or rather that I should attach the pdf file to e-mals?

Attach the PDF. It's much more compatible, less prone to viruses, and
generally more polite than using Word files.

 

[Joy]

So you are saying "more polite" because anyone can open it? Can they print
from a pdf? Because we are suggesting that they print copies of it (It's a
notice about an upcoming meeting) and give them out to other people.
If so, then I guess I don't know how to print from there.

 

[Ed Bennett]

So you are saying "more polite" because anyone can open it?

Not just because of that.

Can they print from a pdf?

Yes, there is a Print button in Adobe Reader. On the toolbar. Or you can
go to File > Print. Just like any other application.

 

[Joy]

Getting back to my original question - OK - I'll put it into PDF, but is
there any way to copy JUST the first page only?

 

[Ed Bennett]

Getting back to my original question - OK - I'll put it into PDF, but
is there any way to copy JUST the first page only?

When you're creating your PDF, print Pages 1 to 1. I thought that would be
obvious, sorry.

 

[Joy]

I'm sorry, too, I should have realized (or found) that.
Sometimes I can be dense. <S>

Now I have another question. I realize this isn't a Publisher question per
se, but it ties in with my "quest". I've created (instead of that first
page in Publisher) a document in Word and if I want to send it as a pdf
instead, as you are suggesting - (BTW what are the other reasons that it is
more polite?) I have been trying to put it into pdf and not sure how to save
it, what to select, etc., and more important, how to FIND it afterwards to
attach it to an e-mail? Seems like a LONG path to it.

Thanks for your patience!

You can turn just about anything into a .pdf file. One of the biggest
reasons to use .pdf files is that you don't have to be concerned with who
has what software and which version, who has Windows, who has a Mac, and the
files are often smaller.

When you create the .pdf file you can put it where you want it. I tend to
name my .pdf files the same thing as the original file. If my Word doc is
named seminar2006report.doc, the .pdf is seminar2006report.pdf. And I keep
them in the same directory.

If you have trouble finding files, then it sounds like you need to tweak
your filing system. It's YOUR system - make it work for YOU. You could run
into problems if you share a computer with someone else but even that's
doable. Just create your own folders.

(BTW what
are the other reasons that it is more polite?)

PDF files are generally smaller (if you select the correct options)
Word documents are known carriers of viruses due to their scripting
capabilities.
PDF files by default have the fonts embedded so that what you see on your
screen is what the recipient will see on his/her screen.
The pagination in PDF files does not change at random.

put it into pdf and not sure how to save it, what to select, etc.,
and more important, how to FIND it afterwards to attach it to an

File > Print
Select PrimoPDF from the dropdown
Choose your page range
OK

You'll get a file browser window that will let you select the location in
which to save it, and the filename to use.
Look in the location you chose to save it to find it later.

 

[Joy]

Ed, thanks, but I have more questions below. I'll insert them into your
reply where they "fit".

File > Print

OK

I don't even know what these are (well, part of them), nor do I know which
to select. THEN, since I didn't get a file browser window, all I did get
(with no drop-down menu) was a Save As with C\Program Files\Active PDF\Primo
PDF\Microsoft Word - (name of file). Kinda long, and I don't know how to
change it.

 

[Ed Bennett]

Ed, I got this far just fine, but I did not get a file browser
window at this point. What I got gave me these choices: PDF
settings: Screen Print Ebook Prepress

which to select. THEN, since I didn't get a file browser window, all
I did get (with no drop-down menu) was a Save As with C\Program

My bad. I was thinking of Adobe Acrobat rather than PrimoPDF.

Clicking the "..." button next to a file path will normally let you choose
your target file/folder. Doing so in PrimoPDF will give you a folder
browser.

 

[Joy]

JoAnn, Thanks for the "reason" for using .pdf files. Makes sense.

I see that rather than "Save As", one goes to Print. I still don't see any
way to put the file where I want it; I haven't found any place to make that
choice. It puts itself here: C\Program Files\Active PDF\Primo
PDF\Microsoft Word-(file name). So when I attach it to an e-mail (which is
my goal) I don't see any choice other than following that path. Maybe I'm
missing something.

When you select Print and choose a .pdf driver, you can select where you
want the resulting .pdf file. I'm not sure where it defaults to because I've
changed most of mine to suit my needs.

And as for attaching it to the email, the steps you are taking are correct.

I'm trying not to be dense here. When I select Print, I don't see anywhere
to "choose a .pdf driver" on the Print window that pops up, unless you are
saying when I select (in my case) PrimoPDF, that is what you mean by
choosing a "driver". This time when I tried it, on that same Print window
I saw a little box I hadn't notice before "Print to File", so I put a check
mark in it, and then I did get the Print to File window where I could choose
Save In (My Documents); Save as Type (All Files? Is that correct?); and File
Name (same name as Word document, only .pdf instead of .doc). I thought I
had it solved! It filed itselr then, in My Documents (where I wanted it).
I went to the file there and tried to open it and got an error message!
(Acrobat Reader could not open [file name] because it is either not a
supported file type or because the file has been corrupted [for example, it
was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded] ) So what am I
doing wrong? (This was not attached to an e-mail, I just tried to file a
document as a test).

BTW, when I did NOT have the check mark in the Print to File box in the
Print window (and therefore it was not checked), that was when it put itself
in the path I told you about before, ending up in PrimoPDF.

[Joy]

David,

Thanks for your input. I'll insert some questions (prefaced with ???) in
with your directions where I'm having problems.

Joy,

Right now PrimoPDF is putting your file in the default location, just as
you
wrote it: C\Program Files\Active PDF\PrimoPDF\

To change the location, after you choose PrimoPDF as your printer,

??? On that "choosing page" there are two boxes: Print to File and Manual
Duplex. Should I put a check in either one of them? Or neither?

you will

get the dialogue window

??? I only get that dialogue window if I do NOT put a check in the above
mentioned boxes, right?

that has the PDF settings (screen, print, ebook

etc),

??? How do I know which of those setting to choose?

and below that Save As: with the default location.
To the left of that

is a little box with three dots, click on it,

??? On that window, I do NOT have a box with three dots. So I'm lost at
that point.

and a new Save As dialogue

window comes up, where you can browse to where you want to save the file
(Save in and change the file name.

??? I only get a Save As dialogue if I DO put a check in the File to Print
box at the beginning. And if I do that, I do NOT get the PrimoPDF settings
window.

Choose a location on your hard drive,

such as your desktop where you can find the file when you want to attach
it
to your email.

??? However, when I took that Route (that took me to a Save As dialogue
page), I tried saving it to My Documents, with a .pdf extension. It saved
there (in My Documents) just fine, but when I tried to open it, I got this
error message:
(Acrobat Reader could not open [file name] because it is either not a
supported file type or because the file has been corrupted [for example, it
was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded] ) So what am I
doing wrong? (This was not attached to an e-mail, I just tried to file a
document as a test).

I would suggest that you take a few minutes and go back to the PrimoPDF
site, and download and read the user's manual. It is brief and straight
forward, and will also explain when and how to change the different
settings. You will save yourself a lot of time if you invest this time:
http://www.primopdf.com/free-pdf-userguide.asp

??? I hadn't downloaded this user guide, but I did look at it, and all it
did was show pictures of the various dialogue boxes, etc., that we've been
discussing, without telling me, for instance (if there was a choice), which
one to choose, or how to decide which one to choose. (I had looked under
Creating PDFs.) I didn't see any "when and how".
Thanks for your help with this.

first page in Publisher) a document in Word and if I want to send it
as a
pdf instead, as you are suggesting - (BTW what are the other reasons that
it is more polite?) I have been trying to put it into pdf and not sure
how to save it, what to select, etc., and more important, how to FIND it
afterwards to attach it to an e-mail? Seems like a LONG path to it.

Thanks for your patience!


Joy <[email protected]_SPAM> was very recently heard to utter:
Getting back to my original question - OK - I'll put it into PDF,
but
is there any way to copy JUST the first page only?

When you're creating your PDF, print Pages 1 to 1. I thought that would
be obvious, sorry.
