Not really smart to own up to that when you have your company name (if it's correct) in your print planet profile. I guess there is also a Eula attached to the demo version, might be worth a read?

If you are looking to centralize and automate your imposition and also potentially integrate your bindery as well, then I'll throw Ultimate Impostrip into the ring as well. While I don't know your actual needs, if you are looking at investing in a new solution it makes sense to look at all...

All things are possible. Easiest for the white objects is the 'Change Overprint' Global Change. Double click it to access the options, you probably only want the 'Set White objects to Knockout' part.

Bigger, stronger, better, faster! normally....

Well I'm the Head of Product Management at Ultimate, so.... :)

Can confirm that Impostrip will do variable barcoding (and a lot, lot more) :)

You can't manipulate that fixed variable (unless something changed in the last two years). If you have Switch you would be better off using the variable sets in PitStop and taking the values from Switch.

Typically an Action List in PitStop is for a specific task. A preflight profile would be a better choice for file checking, you can modify an existing one if you don't want all the checks. The GWG ones provide a good reference if you have doubts, the Digital Print ones would be worth checking out.

You are supply the cutter file, so it's a essentially just a path, a vector based graphic. That's a very simplistic thing. To import that into Illustrator and combine it with an existing illustrator design is not dangerous and not a problem. What can be problematic is to import a PDF of a...

What preflight software do you have? Acrobat, PitStop, Callas or something else?

So let's talk about how to resolve the errors you raised. - scanned document contains errors in the OCR - often in a foreign language, especially Cyrillic. What's the solution, just strip out the OCR as you want to just print the image, so do you need to retain the OCR text? If so what are the...

Layers (or Optional Content Groups) are becoming more and more important. I really don't understand why some rips have issues with them as they've been around since PDF 1.5. Guess it depends how old the rip is.

You just needed to flatten it in Acrobat, that would have done it.

Layers in Illustrator and Layers (Optional Content Groups) in PDF are not the same thing, you need to use the right tool for the job. As stated many times before, Illustrator is not a PDF Editor.

Flattening should work, as there won't be any layers afterwards.

I always thought that the 'not printing' option in Acrobat was related to printing direct from Acrobat, not related to the layer behavior when ripped. Maybe Dov can confirm/deny?

But if the (not needed) layer is not on in Acrobat, and you don't need any other layers that maybe present, you can flatten the layers and that should give you the correct visual result? Acrobat will let you do that

'but at the same time it can be used if you know the risks and what to look for.' Until that fateful day when...

What happens if you open it in Acrobat, do you see the layers there (hidden or otherwise)?

That's really the only (safeish) option I think, out of interest what resolution do you use?
