Pagemaker application technology Q&A (12-17)

12, Q: I use the English version of the PM6.5 row, found a problem: 1, these English words will not automatically wrap, all squeezed into one. 2, in the PM paragraph is always missing, for example: paragraph at the beginning to be empty two grid, but sometimes there are always two empty grid, not more or less, but in different views even different proportions, at 60% It's just two spaces, 80% of time and space are more than one, but it's wrong to print it out or not. (Is it because I modified the font size and line spacing?)

A: The problem of English words being squeezed into one piece (very few of them, related to your English, you may change the font, may be good), not to prevent forced breaks. The paragraph can be set in the first paragraph of the custom, the space is very natural, do not modify the word spacing to force alignment ~~~ font can be set into a composite font, which can be added in the plug-in utility, Chinese editing with Chinese fonts, English word editing with English fonts, remember!

13, Q: Export English is no problem, but Chinese is always garbled. How to solve! There are also export pdf format software in addition to pagemaker what? I know that the world is OK, but my world is not. What are the reasons?

A: PM export PDF requires Distiller support, when installing Acrobat, be sure to install the plug-in support for Chinese fonts. In addition, "embed all fonts" is also a method.

14, Q: Can 72DPI's online pictures be printed? If so, how clear is it? Is it very vague and I wonder if the friend has been printed? Its own dpi is 72. If you adjust it to 300, its quality will not deteriorate?

A: 72dpi or other values ​​cannot explain whether it can be printed. Generally equal-sized images (the size of your manuscript is the same as the size of the print). For example, do a brochure. This way you can use 300. Generally, we can combine the size, resolution, and the printing media and printing methods to define whether it can be printed. For example, inkjet printing can be used. The size is large, and the resolution is not necessarily high, sometimes 30, 50, 70. Do not let go of the fact that if you zoom in more than 1.5 times on the original basis, it will affect the screen! The "reset image pixel" option is ticked off, and there is no loss of image conversion, but the image pixel is increased but the actual size of the image is reduced.

15, Q: What is the format of TIFF format, what are its characteristics, and can be common with those software, its advantages and disadvantages?

A: TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms. TIFF is a flexible bitmap image format that is supported by almost all drawing, image editing, and page layout applications. Moreover, almost all desktop scanners can generate TIFF images. The TIFF format supports CMYK, RGB, Lab, indexed color and grayscale images with alpha channels and bitmap mode images without alpha channels. Photoshop can store layers in TIFF files; however, if you open this file in another application, only the flattened image is visible. Photoshop can also store annotations, transparency, and multi-resolution pyramid data in TIFF format.

16. Q: It is necessary to create a CD cover. What is the size of the back cover of the CD cover? Does the cover and back cover seem to be inconsistent? Q: It is currently necessary to make a CD cover. What is the size of the back cover of the CD cover? Does the cover and back cover seem to be inconsistent?

Answer: The paper size of the conventional CD box: The main cover is on the left. Dimensions: The width is 12.5CM. On the left there is 3MM of bleeding, and the height is 12.6. There are 3MM bleeding from top to bottom. The secondary seal (the right side of the main cover): The width and height are the same as the left, but the bleeding is on the right. Bottom paper size (excluding two folds): Width 13.8CM without bleeding, high 12.4CM, up and down each with 3MM Bleeding Bottom size: Effective size is 7MM + 3MM wide Bleeding (note one on the left One in the right), the height is 12.4CM, with 3MM bleeding from top to bottom. It is best to confirm the size of the CD box first. Some CDs will have to be enveloped. If there is a little mistake, the consequences will be very bad! (Can't insert in) The front page of the CD is the cover that you said, in fact, the final product. 12*12 is also possible without pre-bleeding 12.3*12.6.

17, Q: The difference between MAC and PC

In the past, because the graphics and display devices used by the Mac were better, they also caused display effects to be eliminated, so designers were more liked. Now that Apple has not produced a monitor, the graphics card is also an ordinary ATI Radeon 7500 series, and the monitor is Sony Terri. This advantage will not show up.

In the past, the CPU of the Mac was higher than that of the CPU used by the PC, and the overall performance was better, which was about twice that of the ordinary PC with the same grade. Now Intel's CPU performance has exceeded the Mac's CPU, and this advantage is not significant.

In the past, the Macs used SICS hard drives, which were 10,000 rpm and twice the rotational speed of the IDE interface hard disk (5400 rpm). The read speed was more than that of ordinary PCs. However, the current hard drives for PCs are basically 7200-rpm hard drives and can also be replaced with SICS hard drives.
The performance is good or bad should be known from it? Relatively speaking, Macs and PCs have relatively stable face-to-face talks, with low crash rates and low rates of infection. This is one of the reasons why Mac computers are popular. As for graphics processing and typesetting, there is not much difference with PCs. They are basically the same, printing industry. The biggest reason for using the Mac is that the publishing center is basically based on the Mac distribution. I think the development trend of the next printing industry will be closer to the PC. After all, the PC is more used now. . After understanding the history of APPLE, it is correct to evaluate Apple Computer.

In the PC industry, APPLE was once a strong opponent of IBM. In the early days of PC development, APPLE was much stronger than IBM, and APPLE's launch of each new model had a very good sales performance. Apple Computer was divided into: POWER PC, iMAC, POWER BOOK and other series are not only the POWER PC (which is the Apple computer we normally design). In Europe, America, Japan, iMAC sales are very high, mainly for home, company, IBM (International Business Machines) ) Companies, DELL, COMPAQ and other strong opponents, and the largest company in the use of UNIX systems (MACINTOSHI is based on UNIX) PC is APPLE, IBM, DELL, COMPAQ are all using the MICROSOFE WINDOWS system, so APPLE system advantages It is also a market advantage. (MACINTOSHI system is more stable, simpler and easier to operate, and hackers are more interested in WINDOWS, while MACINTOSHI is less vulnerable)

So, taking advantage of the hardware and software advantages of APPLE, we can see that the series of PCs like POWER PC and iMAC are more stable than the compatible PCs we use and some brands of PCs. This is very important for our design work. Commercial applications also require a stable computer to avoid significant maintenance and maintenance costs and wasted time due to machine failures and system failures.

Comment on APPLE, but also pay attention to marketing and market. In fact, in addition to the operating system, Apple does not have much advantage. The problem with Bill Gates was that he wanted to do everything for the people, so he made the operating system too big. In fact, there is another problem to make clear, that is, the MAC is an image workstation, if only this compared with the so-called personal computer is not a grade. The PC also has machines such as image workstations. EDLL, Lenovo, etc. can also use UNIX systems. If at the same price PC graphics workstation performance is much better. Of course, professional image workstations such as SGI, DIGITOR, MACRO are also less expensive than MAC
