Dear swimmer35

I uploaded it to:

http://www.grassrootsweb.net/test1

Looks fine - but that thing on the web page is not a PDF. I was
interested in looking at the actual PDF document itself, not an image
of it - but of course if it is working fine now that’s what matters!

:slight_smile: Yep, I thought so. Freeway is happy to use PDFs for source images
too. So your PDF was turned into a graphic automatically. Normally
great! But for this one occasion…

Thanks for uploading the PDF. This looks quite acceptable. The images
are perhaps a bit soft still, but just a little - not enough to get
concerned with for this project. I trust making the table in Pages
was a relatively stress-free event?

It was… I was having trouble with the cell / table height. If I had -
fit cell around info I could not narrow it.
In addition my other issue was… that when I shrunk the table the info
did not shrink w it. and that is a feature I really like in fw.

if there are ways around this… please any input would be helpful.

the graphics… yes they are. To get rid of the background, I had to go
into photoshop and remove and save as a gif for web. other wise I was
getting the white background w the jpeg. I think that is why they are
soft.

Thank you for your interest and help

Both Pages and Freeway reflow text content in cells when the cells
change size. In Pages, this is a default option when you have the
table selected; go to the Format part of the Table pane in this
palette and make sure the Wrap Text in Cell checkbox is active. Is
this helpful?

Actually, that won’t be why they’re soft. The GIF format doesn’t
soften things - if anything, over-use of JPEG compression is more
likely to impose a kind of softening!

Do you realise that both GIF and JPEG are end-use formats that are
not good for use as original graphics when making page layouts? You
really shouldn’t use either of those formats for your page design
content. Instead, save as TIFF, native Photoshop (PSD), or PNG in
full-colour (24-bit/millions of colors) mode.

All three of those options will keep transparent backgrounds, and
they’ll do it much more cleanly than GIFs can.
