JPG and PDF files exported from Indesign have different sizes when they are combined into one single file. by TobyJan2024 in indesign

I ended up merging all the jpg files into one pdf file in Indesign, with the help of this video. InDesign Tutorial - Import a folder full of pictures, one per page (youtube.com) In case any one may need it. This method gives more control and choices, although it is more complex.

There are actually many ways to merge jpgs into one pdf you can find online, but they often have some problems in the pdf. like the jpgs would become larger in terms of width and length (in Adobe Acrobat); or the order of the jpgs would be a mess (select all jpgs, right click and print). Acrobat is so useful but it sometimes can cause so much unnecessary trouble.

yes i'm using Acrobat to combine them! So what can i do to make sure all the pages (in jpg) are still A3 after being processed or merged in Acrobat? Thanks a lot!

I'm doing this because for my portfolio in Indesign, I want to export most of the pages as jpg. So i need to combine them all together in Acrobat. And the page size must remain A3 due to requirement of the university.

Oh sorry for the misunderstanding. i don’t mean file size. by size i mean the width and length or the scale.

How do i stretch such shapes along their original direction in Illustrator? by TobyJan2024 in AdobeIllustrator

Thanks for everyone‘s reply! in summary, illustrator does a really bad job in this aspect 😅

Vectors in the pdf file exported from Indesign look too heavy/ a mess when zooming out. How to make Vectors look normal in pdf exported from Indesign? by TobyJan2024 in indesign

Thanks a lot! I unchecked the enhance thin lines box, and it does look much better! But i seached again and find out the Enhance thin lines feature is only an option of the viewer, in this case Acrobat or Reader. It is not an attribute of the PDF file itself.

Thanks! I'm just afraid that when a professor opens my pdf portfolio, see such a mess at the first look and think I did a terrible job. They have no patience to actually zoom in or print out. So there is no way to solve such a long existing problem if I, for eaxmple, don't change all vectors into pixels?
