    Acrobat changing colors unexpectedly

    Yes - "that page is added to a PDF" I am using the Acrobat 'Insert Page' Say a booklet is a reprint. All the customer wants to change is the spot color of the duotone cover (i.e. from Reflex Blue & K to PANTONE Green & K). So I might use the Acrobat 'Replace Page' to insert the new cover page...

    Acrobat changing colors unexpectedly

    Leonard, You seem very knowledgeable about the workings of Adobe Acrobat and it sounds like my nomenclature is not correct. The issue at hand is spot color objects on individual pdf pages failing to appear when that page is added to a pdf not previously containing that specific spot color. I...

    Security restrictions on Mac OS10.6+

    My employees are all incarcerated. My shop is inside a prison. They have lots of time on their hands (many of them are serving life sentences) and as the influx of work waxes and wanes, they look for ways to occupy themselves. Games are not my biggest concern. I am more concerned about files...

    Security restrictions on Mac OS10.6+

    I went that route and I can use parental controls to restrict a user from installing apps and using installed apps, but I can't restrict them from writing to the local hdd or mounting a network volume.

    Security restrictions on Mac OS10.6+

    I am looking for 3rd party software to restrict a users ability to save to the local harddrive and mount new volumes among other things. I am trying to stop users from hiding file they should not have like games. Any suggestions??

    Acrobat changing colors unexpectedly

    I have seen that same issue. I have a lot of experience with spot color work dating back to day before Acrobat 6. Acrobat has done always done that - at least since Acrobat 6. Acrobat will not render the Spot colors used in pages added to a CMYK pdf (or any pdf without that spot color already in...

    Cs6?

    I spoke with an Abode Rep about the same issue and I was assured that Adobe's policy is to reward those who upgrade as the upgrades become available. I was told that the least costly path to upgrade will always be upgrade as the upgrades become available. We have CS5. To simplify, I asked the...

    Agfa Chemical Free Plates

    I worked at a shop that opted to adopt the Agfa Azura plate shortly after it was released. We switched from the Agfa Violet plate and chemical development to the Agfa Azura and a G&J Clean-out unit in mid 2008. Right after the changeover we had trouble matching previously printed pieces. I chalk...

    Kodak struggles - it's not getting better

    I saw some months ago that Kodak was raising cash by selling off the many Patents it owns. Some were sold to Microsoft (EasyShare), some to Motorola, etc. to the tune of over 8 figures, but they seem to be hemorrhaging cash. This shop WAS a Kodak shop. I was never thrilled with the Kodak EVO...

    Considering Oris Works

    Not sure... When Heidelberg was doing our initial color calibration during the setup of our workflow, our first press sheet measures 2.2dE. We eventually got it down to 1.8dE. We print our 4C on a two color press in two passes. With that drawback in mind, we were very pleased with 1.8dE. To my...

    Considering Oris Works

    Mike, Thank you for your reply. Please take no offense, but your 2.5dE seems quite far from 1.5dE as required to meet G7 specs. Do you think your iGen4 is capable of 1.5dE??
