Trying to order Moo Business Cards

MomaZunk

I have created a front for my business card using the moo psd template in photoshop elements 9 and I saved the file in pdf format.

When I upload the file to moo it gives me an error:
"You have used a font in your pdf file that has abnormal size values. Turn your text into outlines and try again. "

Anyone else had this error? How do I turn my text into outlines? I have not found anything in PSE help or forum as yet.

Questions #2: I am assuming the watermarks will not show up on the images I chose from my smugmug site. Is this correct?

Thanks,

So this is strange. I just uploaded a similar pdf for the minicards and had no issues. Granted, the font sizes are smaller.

Hi. Sorry I can't help about the fonts but you are right; the watermarks won't show. Let us know how you make out.

Dee, I just tried to like your Facebook page but do you know that anyone with a secure connection can't? You might want to look at your Facebook settings.

Kathie,
Could you tell me where I would check? I am very new to facebook and your help is appreciated.

It might be the app you used to create the Welcome tab I think. I've liked your page now and can get to your wall ok but if I go back and view your Welcome tab I still get that secure browser message. So any text you have on that page isn't visible.

Ok, Thanks.
That gives me a place to start.
I created the app to get the favicon on the side.
I will have to chase that this evening after work.

OK, here is what I found out...text in PSE 9.0 is in bitmap format, and you need the full PS to convert the bitmap text to a "shape" which is a vector drawing. The vector shape is then maintained when you save as a pdf.

Moo will accept .pdf bitmap text only to a certain point where it might go fuzzy/jacked.

I used a friend's computer/CS5 and converted my text on 2 files in 10 minutes, and uploaded with no problem.
