My suggestion why that silent conversion takes place is because PDF/X-4 standard disables the Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities option and produces a pdf file with tagged source profiles + output intent profile i.e. that assumes in the end you will have CMYK image converted to the...

There is one thing that is pretty obvious with the whole that 'new stuff'. They (Adobe) will collect more money. That is the main goal.

I am pretty sure it is an Adobe bug and bug exactly, it was introduced with CS and it was that release that took many general changes in the engine, open Illustrator 10 and see how different the Print dialog screen looks like, and what makes me believe Adobe has to do with that is the fact that...

Print Presets dont work either. The same problem. I have filled a bug request in Adobe site but I dont want to wait for 2 versions as was the case with CS and CS2 for Adobe to make a fix for it, that's why I am ringing the bell, I can live perfectly with CS5, but very soon I will start to...

Thank you tomcatinc for the response, but this is not a good solution because I will end up with dozens of printers for each combination of paper types, trays and sizes. Plus I am not looking for a workaround, the best one is to not use Illustrator at all, I want to rise some attention to the...

I don't understand something here, why do you need to print to a postscript if your goal is to shrink/enlarge the size (proportionally), cant you print to a predefined size in AdobePDF printer with scale to fit option?

It saves the settings that you make in the Illustrator dialog, but I am talking about the ones you make in the driver menu after you press the Setup button in the lower left corner. CS5 does not have that problem, it appeared with CS and was present in CS2 but was fixed in CS3, and now appears...

Hi Stephen, have you checked for the issue on your own system? I think all people have that problem but never understand it exists simply because never use the Illustrator the way I do. I have tried it on Windows XP, Vista, 7 (all of them both x32 and x64) and 2000 with various printer drivers...

The reason I am asking for that is because I installed the new Illustrator CS6 and to my bad surprise it has the same stupid bug as CS and CS2 being unable to save the printer specific driver settings (such as paper type, tray and so on, the settings that are in the driver UI dialog) after...

Is there anyone else out there that uses Illustrator for some touch up, editing and prepress work then print directly to a digital press printer via windows printer driver, or I am indeed the only one?

Multiplying is identical to overprinting the top color but the inks used must not be opaque. Same as setting 100 Cyan multiplied or overprinted over 100 Magenta - it will make 100 Blue and you can preview it in Illustrator. You have to consult with your printer if the colors you wish to mix are...

JoshB use acrobat and its preflight/optimize function or even better if you have a third party plugin like PitStop, avoid making complex object/image areas especially with transparencies in it that take a lot of processing to flatten, use no more than 300ppi for images, and btw CMYK image in 1...

I don't know what theory says, but when I rasterize text at 600 ppi no AA the result with my HP 5000 inkjet continuous tone equals that of printing vector text at 600 dpi print res (not that I am actually doing that in practice, due to the size of the image produced I rarely go beyond 150 ppi...

If you buy the iGen (or any other disguised Xerox DocuColor machine) there will sooner or later be a time when you will regret for your decision.

The funniest thing with the new Windows 7 to me is the full support of the WinXP (and why not Vista) via the so colled Windows 7 XP mode - that's it, you are invited in the Windows Upgrade Advisor at the very begining of the installation to "take advantage" of their "new" computer virtualization...
