I work for a large printer/publisher. We currently use a 'PDF Workflow' out in the field for alot of our Independent Distributors. We currently use 'Prepare' with a Creo Launchpad in Quark 6 to generate a PDF. Prepare preflights the pdf to specific Directives then the ID's upload the approved PDF's to Insite.
The bad thing is that Kodak doesn't have an update to 'Prepare' to work with Quark 7 or Leopard. So, we're testing Instant PDF. But, we are running into some issues & can't figure out if it's Quark 7, Instant PDF, or Prinergy.
When in Quark 7, a pdf is created with Instant PDF. Output Styles have been created for Quark 7 which are in the Instant PDF Queue. Instant PDF is set to perform a 'Direct Export'. Instant PDF creates the PDF & preflights it from the Directives that are selected. But, when the PDF goes thru are 'Prinergy' setup the 'Trim Box' size is not being held - Only Media Box size shows in Prinergy. PostScript to Distiller from Instant PDF creates the same problem.
Media Box causes all the Crop marks to shift on the page. Which means the file is not correct for printing.
Has anyone else run into this? Does it sound like Quark 7? Solutions? Does anyone know if Pitstop can create an action that would maintain the Trim Box setup so the PDF would work properly thru Prinergy.
