mjkennedy replied on September 04, 2009 21:13 to the question "How can I change the name of the Publisher?" in MagCloud:

Changing your name in your account settings should change the Publisher Name displayed with your magazine. Be sure to include characters in both the first and last name fields on your account settings.

Since it appears on the site that your first and last name are still set up to be your personal name, please try changing it one more time while logged into the MagCloud site. If this still doesn't work, please submit a support request via our Help page immediately following so that we can look into our site log and determine why this request is not taking affect.

The 60# stock we use on magazines of 64 to 100 pages is the same brightness and quality as our standard 80# stock, only not as thick. Photos unfortunately don't capture this as well as the real thing, so the best way to get an idea of it's look and feel is by ordering a proof once your PDF is completed. During our Beta, proofs are printed for free - all you pay for is the shipping.

mjkennedy replied on September 04, 2009 20:59 to the question "Horizontal wall calendar possible?" in MagCloud:

Since MagCloud can print any 8.5 x 11" multipage PDF, it doesn't matter what the orientation will be after it's printed. Just design your calendar in portrait mode with a page count between 4 and 100 that is a multiple of 4, and be sure to account for the bleed settings (0.125" top and bottom, 0.25" outside edge).

For more information about designing your PDF for MagCloud, please see our recently updated Help pages (http://magcloud.com/help). For an example of a MagCloud-made calendar check out: http://magcloud.com/browse/Issue/4266

Probably the easiest way to do this within Photoshop is to use Image > Canvas Size to crop your 17" x 11" page to 8.5" x 11" from the left side, and Save As a new PDF file. Then reopen the 17" x 11" original and use Image > Canvas Size again to crop to 8.5" x 11" from the right side, and Save As another new PDF.

Once you have all your pages saved as single-page PDFs, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat (or a similar PDF program) to combine those single-page files into a multi-page PDF file. In Acrobat, this is done using Document > Insert Pages.
