    We get this message on saving our AI files...

    You will get that message if the original Illustrator PDF has actually been modified outside of ILLY ... such as changes made with PitStop or perhaps changes made inside a PDF workflow or changes made with Acrobat itself. This can be very dangerous. If you ignore changes made in PitStop - etc -...

    Prinect vs. Prinergy

    I agree about Signa. I was on Preps for 6 years and now on various versions of Signa for 7 years. Signa is just more intuitive - nice visual previews and quick. I just set up Signa on 2 workstations and a server (I would not go the server route - just install on a powerful workstation (event...

    new MINI server - Fusion Drive?

    I see my mistake about the RAID - obviously there would not be RAID with 1 volume. I , now, doubt I would see any advantage with a Fusion setup on a PrePress working situation. Maybe faster reads and writes from the client machines - but not ridiculous. Looks like the SSD to run the machine and...

    Interarchy

    All of a sudden Interarchy will not complete downloading files larger than 2MB. (3 days now) Nothing has changed on any of our systems or network. The only new thing is installing CS6 - but that shouldn't effect Interarchy? It will begin a download - then after 1MB - it will stall and the timer...

    Beta Testing for Photoshop CS6 available .. opinions on IU?

    Just beware sometimes Adobe makes it a real "Pain in the arse to get rid of the Beta to install the "real" version when it comes out. Somehow, they supply an uninstall that kills the beta and lets the upgrade to the new version continue. I was in the Beta program for InDy 4 or 5 and it sucked...

    You are probably saving the "Illustrator" file inside of the PDF. - When one saves a PDF file, the current (i.e. 12) and recent versions of Illustrator do save Illustrator documents inside a PDF file, BUT in fact, the Illustrator editable information is saved as private data in the PDF file. In...

    Pantone Pantone You mean like this one? __ Later on ... - I see - this is not what you mean You would need to go through it with PitStop and assign all the PMS callouts. I don't know if many RIPs would handle 900 "Spot" colors. MSD

    Saving large .ai files as PDFs?

    For 1 - you need to turn OFF -- "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" or you get the .ai file saved inside the PDF. For 2 - you would want to turn off "Create Layers". Than just save as Screen Quality or create your own low rez custom setting. Making it RGB would be smaller - as well. MSD
