Hi all, I am looking for software (free is preferable) that will create a VERTICAL page flip animation of a PDF (like a 12 month wall calendar). So far, everything I have found can only do horizontal page flipping. Any help is appreciated! TIA, pd :-)

What sorts of data are you looking to extract?

I am using Blackmagic from Serendipity Software. No complaints. pd

I don't know a lot about Affinity. Is Affinity Publisher also a PDF native format?

Gordo, my comment was based on my customers providing native files in lieu of PDF files.

While I have no interest in switching from Adobe to Affinity, I will install Affinity apps if we start receiving Affinity files from our customers and try to incorporate them into our workflow. pd

Hi Kaiser, Try this: Select All Select First Page Cut objects to clipboard Page 1 Split Action List Select Last Page Paste objects from clipboard Page 1 Select First Page Remove Page Does this work? pd

Hi Rande, You mentioned that you use Pitstop. Do you have the 2021 version? If so, Pitstop can do simple printer spread impositions complete with crop marks, color bar, etc.. In your Action List Editor window, type "Impo" in the search field at the top. Hope this helps, pd

I have one already (it has Big Sur on it though) and so far, Adobe-wise, things seem to be running well (we only use InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat). We typically don't design anything. We just take our customer's files and prep them for printing. Best regards, pd

I probably could. The reason I would like to purchase is because the (Intel-based) iMac's I have now are all 7 years old. pd

Hi Chris, I have heard that Apple has continued to improve their System Integrity Protection feature which as you said really locks things down. While I don't necessarily fault them for doing so, I wonder if this will complicate the process of cloning one Mac to another. In the past, I've...

Hi DYP, No on the Studio. Will be purchasing iMac's. Best regards, pd

Hi all, Has anyone installed an M1 Mac with Monterey in their prepress environment? If so, have you had any issues? I have one M1 Mac with Big Sur but I will be purchasing several new Mac's but I have no experience with Monterey. Any information would be appreciated! Thank you so much! pd :)

Are the lines in a repeating pattern?

Ah ok. Unfortunately, I don't know of any preflight (or other) software that can warn if an image "looks" low-res even when the document resolution is 300. I've had to explain to my customers many times that increasing the resolution of a low-res photo will not improve the look of it.

FlightCheck is pretty much the defacto standard for what you're looking to do. Out of curiosity, why not use FlightCheck? pd

Glad it got resolved! pd
