    Anyone using Pantone Extended Gamut?

    Yes you can edit the mixes and we did try that. Problem being we aren't very versed in color correcting using orange, violet and green lol. Our system (I assume all Esko systems) have what they call color strategies, which is where your Pantone LUT resides. I am sure you have used this sort of...

    Anyone using Pantone Extended Gamut?

    We tried it, but the software isn't smart enough to know when it can match the color closer with just process colors and always uses the extra colors, even when it gets closer when you turn it off. We have ran a 20,000 for awhile now, and I have yet to not match a PMS color with just process...

    Apple Automator Mavens?

    Automator doesn't work that way in my experience, you will have to have an applescript to filter the name conditions because automator is a workflow, there is no IF/THEN logic. It does look like it should work when viewing it in automator, but nope it's just a simple workflow handler. Step one...

    Apple Automator Mavens?

    I've found folder actions to be pretty unreliable. I can take a look at your scripts to see if I see an error but I had to stick with straight applescript and a program a friend wrote to monitor the folders.

    Running Acrobat XI and DC

    In the creative cloud if you look under previous versions, X and XI are listed. I have been running XI and DC together since it came out.

    Pantone 17-1463 Tangerine Tango

    We had a customer use this in a job in 2012. If I remember it is a fabric color and can't be accurately reproduced in printing. They were a little disappointed :p

    How do you prevent Acrobat X from compressing imagery?

    zip compression is lossless, but he doesn't want to discuss that ;) PDF, optimized is the only way to control what happens during a save as in acrobat, as far as I know. Leonardr I haven't tested this, but does doing a save as from acrobat perform only lossless compression? When I pick...

    How do you prevent Acrobat X from compressing imagery?

    In the save as dialogue box, select PDF, optimized, beside Format option, and then click the settings button to the right. This allows you to change the settings just like in Indesign. Once set it should retain the last settings every time you select PDF, optimized.

    Acrobat CC

    By the time the colors get to PDF, we have no idea about linked files or that things were converted :(. That can only be done in the original source file(s). Which is why to some of us the Separation preview pane is so important, and why we feel it needs to be able to remain static at all...

    Acrobat CC

    My post was a bit harsh towards leonard and I do apologize to you. it is too late to reword it politely now. I became a little annoyed when he told me the product wasn't meant for me, but a large group of random "professionals", and then proceeded to tell me I was using it incorrectly. With...

    Acrobat CC

    It isn't just for checking black only text. And your preflight solution doesn't seem to check for images that should be black only, but are indeed cmyk, or RGB. There might be preflight checks for this as well, but I (and many others) have found it is faster to view the separations than it is to...

    Acrobat CC

    Would be nice if it didn't close the palettes when one quits the program is what I meant. When re launching the app, one must reopen palettes they commonly use. Non of the other adobe apps do that.

    Acrobat CC

    If I could ask for anything, it would be to have the ability to have palettes remain static, where I left them last time I opened a PDF. For example sep preview always on my second monitor. I realize the other users of the product may not need this option, but printers do. For the coders, it...
