I have this PDF file that is 8.5x14 and i need to get it into a 8.5x11 Pagemaker file.
Anyone deal with this in the past? Any tips.
I resized it and saved it as tiff and as PSD in PS then tried to place it into PM as such. The words come out blurred.
I tried exporting as eps and placing in PM. No good.
Ahhhrggg! Help please!

No Illy at the office.
Someone in the building is working on a Pagemaker file and needs the text and layout from this PDF in there.
Yes, Pagemaker does suck ass, but state agencies never were to up to date..

Anyone?

Pagemaker can't take a placed pdf? InDesign can, so I thought maybe PM could. You may have to extract the pages if it's a multiple page document.

if you need me to and it's not a whole lot, i can extract them for you.

Thank you, mayo.
I just got back in and got your post.
The PDF is only 6 pages. What format would you extract them to? I have tried opening it in PS and saving as different sh*ts to place into Pagemaker.
What formats does Pagemaker place well? Is there another way to import the data into Pagemaker?

I haven't used Pagemaker for about 5 years and that wasn't the latest version out there (yay internships!), so i don't know how it places pdfs.
Try this. Open the Pdf in Acrobat (real Acrobat, not Reader).
Document>Pages>ExtractThis extracts each page (you have to do each) as it's own pdf (You can't place a multipage pdf on a single page of a layout program). Place each pdf on its own page and it should work.
If you need me to extract the pages, I will. Or I can place them in InDesign and make them eps for you. How well the quality, remains to be seen but I'll do it if you want.

you can place a PDF in Pagemaker. Go File> Place - and you should get a pop up - and make sure to set the resolution to 300+
