Argh! Photoshop is going to be the death of me!

Recommended Posts

If anyone has any spare time on their hands, I could sure use some help. I'm working on a brochure for our home building business. I have to get a main floor plan, 2nd floor insert and elevation all on one sheet of paper. Since I'm not good at Photoshop, I tried cutting them out and pasting them all on 1 sheet and scanning it in as a TIF file. It's ok, but it doesn't look as good as when printed straight from the PDF file.

I need to work straight off the PDF files and resize and layer in Photoshop. It's frustrating me because I've never tried doing that before. Can anyone with Acrobat and Photoshop help me? Pleeeaaasseee!

If you have a current copy of PhotoShop, you should be able to open the artwork in the .pdf files directly in that without having to go through the print and scan step you're doing.

Oh yeah, I can open it up just fine. I'm just having trouble figuring out how to resize and layer 2 of the inserts onto the big page.

I couldn't figure it either...(Layers)
This is my solution...
Edit 2; To use my solution you will first have to change pdf to file type MS Paint will read (jpeg,bitmap, tif, etc).
Create temp folder in My Documents
Once you have the files, open them in Paint
First open 'paint'; drag lower rh corner to full screen,
Then open file (using 'paste from' under 'edit') drag file (click in center) to where you want it, click outside of it (once you do this you can't move it ). Then repeat for each file. The file will always open in upper left hand corner, so the file you want in upper lh corner should be opened last. Save file in folder in 'my documents'. You can then open it in PS to use print preview so you can adjust for printing.
edit: correction; I Size file first (before opening in paint)
Primative, but it works for me. Love to know solution
you end up using!
Hope it helps-Lu7k,
