Editable PDFs new feature

Hello
That blog post is for craft professionals who use printable images to make things for sell or for friends and family. It will be extremely helpful for people who make personal tags, key chains, magnets, buttons, glass pendants and other things with graphics and text.

You probably could see on Etsy or somewhere else Editable PDFs for sell. What is Editable PDFs? Please take a look at the image below I found on Etsy.


There is some description provided by seller how to use that file.

‘You  type in any name you want. All you have to do is open up the PDF, you'll see the boxes that are editable..Type in the letter or name and PRINT! That's it.

Seller also provide EDITABLE PDF FACTS:
"1. These PDF's will NOT save the names! Once you put in the names you want you must print it because they will go back to the original names every time you open your PDF.
2. You cannot save as a JPEG and take it to a photo lab to print. You must be able to print from home.
3. You can’t change the font style, font color, and font size."

The seller was right.  You were not able to add text to a PDF file in Adobe Reader. You were not able to change text size, text color and text style. You were limited by seller creativity not yours. You even couldn’t save your work. It is not good. It WAS not good… until Yesterday. New version of Adobe Reader released and now you can type the text in Adobe Reader by yourself, you can also change the font color, font style, and font size. And the most important  thing is you can save your work as new PDF file.

It's very easy to add text in Adobe Reader.
First, download Adobe Reader XI http://www.adobe.com/ca/products/reader.html The Adobe reader is free tool.

Open Adobe Reader XI. Open your sheet you want to modify/add text into.

And Please read the small simple instruction ‘How to add Text in Adobe Reader XI’

1.      To add text in PDF file, click on ‘Comment’. See the right up page corner.

If this option is not available in your Adobe Reader menus then it is possible that your Adobe Acrobat version is lower than XI or the PDF has not been prepared properly.



This opens a task panel and, below that, a list of available functions.
 
2. Click the ‘Add Text Comment’ icon on the Comment tool bar.
 



3. Click on the image where you want your text to appear and simple start typing.

 
4.  As soon as you start typing your text you will see new window ‘add Text Comment’.  Point mouse cursor on every button in that pop-up window to see button's function. You can change the text color, style, size, the line spacing.
 
 
5. To change font style, for example, click somewhere on the text you want to modify and then open drop down font style list.  Select one. You will see your text is changed.

 
6. After you have committed the text, you can move the new text around to get it exactly where you would like.
Click the icon ‘Highlight text’ in Comment window. Point the mouse cursor over the text you want to move. The thin blue rectangle will appear around the text. Move mouse on the rectangle’s border. You will see your mouse pointer changes its’ shape to a small cross. It means you are ready to move the text. Click mouse button, hold, and move the text.


 
7. Do you want to add another name? Start again from the step 2. Save your sheet as new PDF file. Do not rewrite original one.  Believe me you will need that original sheet without text in the future.
One more thing! The PDF will save all your changes you made!
 
Need more ideas how you can use new Adobe Reader feature and even make money? It just now came to my mind. I will post that idea tomorrow.
 
Enjoy!

More than 140 new images.


I am glad to tell you that I uploaded more than 140 images for you to use in your projects. All images are free for download.

Here's the breakdown on this series of downloads:

  • 90 new designs 1x2 inch images that could be resized up to 3x6 inch without losing quality.
  • 44 new designs 1x1 inch images that could be resized up to 3x3 inch without losing quality.
  • Resolution 300 dpi.
  • You can resize images online to any size that fit your crafts projects by using online service ‘Make collage sheet’.
  • Use for glass photo pendants, buttons, magnets, tags, key chains, and much more.
  • Commercial Use OK. Please see  Terms of Use for more info.


I have very important news for crafters who make tags with name on them or who use Editable PDFs for adding own text on the images.


As you know you couldn’t add the text on PDF files with Adobe Reader. You have to use the Adobe Writer program that is not free. Or you have to buy ready editable PDF sheet with premade text on it which you can change by using Adobe Reader. But there were many limitations for you as for creative person: you couldn’t change the text color, size, and style. You had to follow to the seller designs that mostly don’t fit to your craft’s needs.
Now it’s over. With new edition of Adobe Reader you can add text by yourself. You don’t need Editable PDFs anymore. All you need is to download Adobe Reader XI from here Download Adobe Reader XI 
 
It’s soooo easy to add text in Adobe reader! If you have many sheet in JPG format you want to add text on I would like to give you one advice. You can convert your jpeg sheets to PDF sheets and add text on images in Adobe Reader XI. It's much easier to add text in Adobe Reader than in GIMP or Photoshop.
 
I will explain how to add text in Adobe Reader in my next post.
 
If you can’t wait for the instruction ’How to add text in Adobe Reader’ I will give you start point: open Adobe reader, open the sheet, click the button ‘Comment’.


Enjoy!

18 new PNG Photo Templates with White Backgrounds

News from Digital Photo Templates by BestPeople.ca

Hello.
I have been asked several times in the last two weeks about digital photo templates on white backgrounds.  I wondered why many of you asked me about the same – templates on white or transparent background. Therefore when one more person asked me again I could not help to ask: “Why you need that kind of templates?” The answer was simple. Amazon.com! You can sell your products on Amazon.com. You just have to follow the Amazon.com rules about product images:


- All product images must be on a transparent or white background. This does not include a white backdrop such as a wall or curtain.

- Images should be 1000 pixels or larger in either height or width, as this will enable zoom function on the website (zoom has proven to enhance sales). The smallest your file should be is 500 pixels on the longest side.


That’s why I added today 18 new templates for scrabble tile pendant, glass square pendant, key chain, bracelet, bezel round and square pendants. All these templates have white backgrounds and fit perfectly to Amzon.com rules.

 I also added these templates to the section 'Use templates Online'  - Simple convenient online tool to make product image just in seconds. Many of you like to use that service instead of buying templates. It's easy, and you don't have to have any graphic knowleges or graphic tool installed on your computer. Just download your graphics, select template, and save ready image of your product on your computer.


 
 




Enloy!

PS. I will be on vacation until March 16 with very limited access to Internet.

Thank you for being my customers and friends.

Alexandra
