    XMF - Flatten PDF for Digital KM1 inkjet press

    - a little bit late i suppose - konica file specs for KM1 were, and might still be x1a, so vistasecured should flat files before rip. If not, he may run into problems.

    Signa to shooter ''workflow''

    To be honest, i'd be very surprised if the built in help and heidi's pdf files provides proper guidance for an operator on how to set up the hot folders.

    Greek character encoding for heidelberg toolbox vdp editor

    Checking out the dropbox link, i see that the problem lies in the excel export.... I think this must be the same problem for all non latin characters encoding ( Kyrilic etc ) so if any user has an idea how to deal with it, i'm all ears!
