Problems with ripping fogra files

[hyuma]

i have a digital ctp test form and a processor test form. i can not rip it. whenever i try to rip it it gives me error "out of memory". i have a 3ghz xenon processor quad core, 3gb ram and it is on a IBM server. i can not figure out why thease files are not ripping. can any one help. i have the latest R5 with flex rip t4. i am giving a tiff output with g4.

Is the file a 1.3 pdf or a postcript your trying to rip?
If so, could be that the original file was a file with alot of transparanties that has been flattend, this can result in verry complex files.

i have tried both the postscript and the pdf 1.3 but still it is giving me the same problem.

Yes that is what i was saying B4:=)
What did you resieve?

[hyuma]

but thease files are from fogra and on a CD. then how do they get corrupt. what is the solution to rip them successfully

[DavidMa]

are you able to open up the original file in Acrobat?
maybe try a "save as" then try to normalize that.

assuming that these test files are bitmap, make sure the CopyDot recognition is turned ON. and that the placed files are not rotated or distorted in anyway.

have you read the manual?

[digi-digi]

7.11 of your flexrip user manual . i dont have the lastest version, but i would say it hasnt changed much.

hey digidigi

the copydot was not turned on. i did turn it on and try to rip it but with the same message. secondly i also increased the difference settings to upto 200 but with the same result. what more could be wrong.

Are you trying to rip these directly off the CD, it is probably best to copy off to a local folder first then check the file properties and make sure to remove "read-only" in the attributes.

I have had this happen in the past with many different apps.

good luck
