    VDP directly out of InDesign with no plugins? How?

    Hi all. Well, pcmodem, I didn't see a process window and was allowed to close the InDesign doc. HOWEVER, I went into the folder today and the PDF I tried to create last week was entirely populated. Now I'm seeing if it will print as an imposition. If so, problem solved. I am, though, in the...

    VDP directly out of InDesign with no plugins? How?

    Thank you, Stephen. I was wondering if I should consider putting the graphics on a master page and only putting the variable data on the non-static pages. Another good thing to try. Thanks for your work in helping me get this going. I need to figure it out before Dec. 18 as I'm having spine...

    Erik, I didn't see a place for exporting to PDF in the merge box, but will look again. Stephen, I'll try a few pages and see what happens. In any case, it'll be next week as I'm about to get outta here for the long weekend. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Cathie

    VDP directly out of InDesign with no plugins? How?

    Hi Stephen. I'll try those two things. I'm not sure where distiller is on my machine, but I know I can import a .ps, so maybe that's the way to go. As for PDF, I really don't know why I can't export the doc. It gives me no error message, but when it's done (and it goes incredibly fast for such...

    VDP directly out of InDesign with no plugins? How?

    Hi there. I've got InDesign CS6 and have learned to do a mail merge of about 700 names. I've got a 7wx5h postcard, full bleeds and obviously the names, addresses, etc. go on one side. I've been able to import the data (700) and now have a 1400 page document. How can I get this into my Creo to...

    Service options for Konica Minolta C8000

    We use a dealer and are very, very happy with them - my rep even came by last week and brought me a Starbucks Frappaccino. As for the KMs...please sit down before you read the rest...I haven't had to call for service for almost three months now and September was the busiest time of the year...

    It's Just Business

    YES!!! *pumping fist up and down* Tell you what, Gordo, you send me your strips after a few glasses of wine and I'll proofread them after a few glasses of gin and tonics. Together we could create a beautiful mess. :p

    Not to pick nits, here, but please see post #10. You quoted me then started your thread with the word "Sir". I thought you were speaking to me.

    Mailguru, excellent point and well taken. Perhaps that's why I haven't talked to anyone about a different price for a different page size - I was waiting for someone to tell me it was ridiculous. After all, it's ultimately up to me what size paper I print anything on. I suppose it all comes out...

    That's what I thought at first, but usually Gordo capitalizes his emphasis. But hey, maybe he was just having a wild and crazy day. :-)

    New Manager to In-Plant Print Shop...help with quotiing jobs

    We have a KM C6501 color digital press that we leased last year and own a KM 1050 black only digital press. On the C6501, we charge $.06 for each color impression (up from $.04 for the previous old machine we replaced) and $.02 for black only impression on both presses. I got them to up the...

    Actually, I'm only replying because I find this interesting. I thought most in-house copy centers were really cost centers, and the center pays for the paper to keep in stock and only charges a certain amount per click to each department, or whatever code is given to the center. I didn't know...
