Imposition/VDP Imposition/VDP I couldn't speak to the VDP options, though it seems like I've seen some software utilities related to that on the boxes. As for imposition, the Spire handles that out of the box. It can even do booklets. After the Professional dongle was added to one of ours...

Our CX242 Our CX242 We have two Docucolor 240s, each with a Creo CX250 RIP, and a Docucolor 242 with a CX242 RIP (the newer model of the three). All three came as a bustled hardware set that hung from the back of the printer with no monitor, keyboard or mouse. We upgraded each to the Control...

I noticed that all traffic on all of these forums dropped off significantly following the move to website-only access. Once the ability to track and respond to the forums in one's email inbox was removed, all the forums I subscribed to came to a screeching halt.

Re: Kerning and Outlining fonts I fully appreciate the statements made against PDF workflows by those involved primarily in packaging. But they must also realize that the other 98% of us out here working with books, posters, advertising, magazines, and countless other types of printed...

Re: Differences in Postscript files from different OS I don't really have any experience with RIPS and such. But I know of no reason that you couldn't drop the postscript files directly from the Tiger Macs. The only thing I can even think of that might make anyone think they couldn't is...

Re: Inner bleed I'm curious. For spiral-bound books, Inner Bleed is a given. But how often is this done for perfect-bound books? Under what circumstances? This subject came up with a recent project. Prior to that project, we had composed literally hundreds of perfect bound books consisting...

Re: missing white text My guess? It's somehow set to overprint. Your Acrobat is set to overprint preview, so it disappears there. Your LaserJet can't overprint, so it shows there. The newspaper's RIP honors the overprint, so it disappears again there. It will be interesting to see what...

Re: Corner Effects There's a corner effects script on the Adobe Studio Exchange that will ask you for the type of effect, radius, and which corners. When applied, it can round two corners and square two corners. Works great. David Wolfe

Re: Illustrator and DCS 2.0 trouble. Though I have great respect for Leonard and he IS at Adobe, I'm curious what others might have to say about this statement. I think it was Claudia McCue that first taught us that only a Photoshop PDF will result in vector data being maintained in an...

Re: Adobe certification questions I'm curious, why wouldn't you go for it? It only costs $150 and only takes a few hours, including study time, if your knowledge is already good. Besides Adobe's "stamp" on your knowledge, you get a confidence boost which, in my experience, gives you an edge in...

Re: Leopard Font Management We're using FontAgent Pro with FontAgent Pro Server. It seems to work just fine with Leopard.

Re: Pitstop 7 actions Pitstop Professional is not Applescriptable. Or JavaScriptable. Or anything scriptable. That's why Pitstop Server is needed for high(er) volume, automated PDF processing. If all you need is preflight, then Acrobat can serve your needs.
