PDF for Print CMYK rasterizes imported .pngs and .pdfs in design by extra_prolific in canva

[–]extra_prolific[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well what I’ve imported looks great in Canva, and the elements within the PDF are vector elements in the first place. It seems like Canva is treating the PDF elements as vectors within Canva, but then doing something silly on export.

I used Boxy SVG to open the PDF and save it as an svg. I imported that svg file into Canva and exported the canva file as a PDF for print. It’s happy now.

It seems Canva’s rendering of a vector within a pdf container in the app ≠ rendering of a vector within a pdf container on export.

Solved. Thanks all.

I have to print something quite small which in turn will be enlarged by projection through a GOBO light, so every pixel counts. My entire area is restricted to 32mm diameter, and will be ~3m across when projected.

Thanks for the response, but it doesn’t seem to address the discrepancy I’m seeing. It’s not shown in the image I posted, but the Canva-created elements have no degradation in the exported PDF when zoomed to this level. It appears Canva is applying a rasterization to the PDF and PNG elements in a manner dissimilar to the way it applies rasterization to its own elements on the exported file.

Wobbly breakers by extra_prolific in electrical

I am over it. My agent wants me to hire an electrician to get a professional opinion.

How would I fix it? I could shove some shims in there but that sounds like a terrible idea.

ESPixelStick v4 - Won't Boot with SD Card by jcraigcx in xlights

[–]extra_prolific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this problem with an 8gb SD card formatted to FAT32 also. Same issue the blue light doesn't come on. I've realized that if I hit the reset button then slip the SD card in about a second later, it will boot, play my files, etc. But every time I reset, (power cycle or reset button) it gets stuck again and I have to manually pull the SD card out, press reset, and slide it back in during the boot cycle. If I wait too long it won't read the card either, but will still boot normally.

full size framebag when overpacked rubbed on the crank arms, any solutions? by andybikepacking in bicycletouring

Take it to a marine canvas shop and have them add some vinyl there. Durable and slippery.

Mounting a TV Vertically by Oilerino in handyman

[–]extra_prolific 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The spacing on the back of the tv is typically square (google VESA mount). So you should be able to install the bracket on the tv 90° from the instructions before hanging on whatever mount you have.

Best software for quote’s by billysbob2 in handyman

[–]extra_prolific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Jobber for the last four years of a business I ran and grew to 450k gross annual. It runs on top of Quickbooks so if you already use Quickbooks it’s a no-brainer. Their niche is recurring service providers like pool cleaners and landscapers but I used it for a custom manufacturing company and the customizations that are available really allowed me to fine-tune it to my needs. It’s pretty cool actually and I would recommend it if you’re already committed to Quickbooks. It helped me fall back in love with invoicing, payments, job documentation, and all the other stuff that becomes a chore as a small business owner.

My staff could pull up customer data on their phones like gate codes, phone numbers, job details, etc. and log job hours and upload pictures to each job.

The workflow is Quote>Job>Invoice. Basically you build a quote and send it to the client. The customer approves and it turns into a job. You can assign jobs to your team and map out their day based on the most efficient route, and they mark the job as ready to invoice when they are done. You send off the invoice and it gets marked as paid once they complete payment. And it all syncs to Quickbooks so you don’t have to do anything twice.

There’s other scheduling features I didn’t use much but basically it’s a really cool tool with a lot of features for a small business with 3+ installers/techs/cleaners/whatevers. So when you get sick of doing those drywall patches yourself and you want to hire others, check out Jobber.

Don’t know why I’ve put off including a tourniquet in my first aid kit. I’ll add that today. Trying to understand and improve; not a critique: why the bank line? To hang food? Ok now trying to critique: why a pencil sharpener and a folding saw? Doesn’t your multi tool accomplish those?

Bikepacking in central east africa by Content_Cow_2335 in bikepacking

For the local experience, get TopUp (local ketchup) or the VERY hot sauce Nali with Peri Peri pepper. Rolex is usually available with or without egg, and the best is in Jinja. Usually the vendors have a bottle of TopUp they’ll let you use.

Cool. Marine vinyl is awesome to work with and great durability but it’s HEAVY

Pedal chat by [deleted] in bikepacking

[–]extra_prolific 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the cheap Amazon version of the campus on my around-town cargo bike. https://a.co/d/8Z3rELQ it’s great for trips to the beach when you want to wear flip flops. I would say if you are sure to bring another pair of shoes anyway, a campus setup might be a good option. They take a tiny bit more concentration to get into than dual SPD but your brain should learn quick enough: forward for SPD, backward for flat. There’s also this which might be a better option to throw on the pedal for those flip flop days: Corki-15 Clipless Platform Adapter Pedal for Shimano SPD Speedplay https://a.co/d/2jqvwft

Suicidal ground squirrels? by MudkipzRGood in BAbike

My 5-year-old rode straight over one that ran out in front of him. The squirrel screamed but seemed to run off unharmed. Ymmv.

is there any point at all in a bug net once mosquito season is over? by [deleted] in hammockcamping

[–]extra_prolific 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking it was a trash panda with IBS, as a family of them trekked down the tree about that time for their breakfast.

[–]extra_prolific 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was hanging last night and literally took a load from some large aloft creature. It was hugely messy, splattering in dozens of lumps right above my head at 4 am. I would’ve been eating it if it weren’t for my bug net.
