Lnk files to PDF Workflow??

[mur]

We have Nexus 8.5

I have Links and Pages which were output from one of our Raster Worflows. (tlw, tct)
I was hopping to create a Hi-RES Print Worthy PDF from the link files, however
I can't seem to create a proper workflow for this, seems simple enough, however my workflow building skills are a bit rusty

Just want to drop the links on the Hotfolder, export out Hi-Res PDF

It's easier to use Nexus Processor to create PDF's straight from the original ArtPro files.

Creating PDF's from LinkFiles makes huge files as you have to export them at 2400dpi (or your own output resolution). If you create them at 300dpi all vector work would also be at this resolution which is not suitable.

Unfortunately these files were already created thru the Raster workflow.
I have no issues outputting at 2400, I know they will be large, I just need to get a Hi-Res PDF
from the Link/Pages

i have a wf that takes a psti and makes a pdf, but the pdf is junk, really. its huge, and broken into squares, completely rasterized, obviously. here is a screen shot. this wf is set up to take a psti to pdf, then to webway.

you can just make it end at the copy file.
you can email me, i'll email you the wf if you want.

We have an older version of Nexus and when we need to make HiRes PDFs we grap the .ps file from the RIP/PS_Files/"Yourworkflow" folder and drop them into Distiller. Set your Distiller params for whatever you like. It's not the best solution but it'll do in a pinch.
