It's worth noting that Canva's 'flatten PDF' option converts the entire file (including text) into a single image.

I use AppleScript quite a bit to automate desktop and InDesign tasks. Most, if not all of it, could probably be rebuilt in JavaScript or other language but I understand AppleScript way better than JavaScript.

I also use Montax. It has a nice feature set (including hot folder capabilities) for under $600. One possible downside is that it is only available for Windows.

Oh well I guess. It was a thought.

@abc - not everyone has a modern workflow which provides JDF/XML capabilities. For those who don't have such workflows, my idea doesn't add a step but rather speeds up the step of drawing layouts by hand. pd

Would you be able to upload a couple of the faulty pages (please remove any confidential info of course)? I'd like to try them here and see what I get.

I guess I am still not explaining well enough about what I am asking so again, I apologize for any confusion. What I am asking is NOT about how someone actually imposes a job using whatever software they have. My question is about how a job planner (or similar position) shows a prepress person...

On those 13 pages, what didn't print correctly? Was the missing(?) content part of the static background or the variable part?

So the composed file looks correct on screen (including the 13 pages that printed incorrectly)?

Hi SoggyWinter, My apologies for the confusion. What I am asking is, if you had an APP that you could open and with a few pieces of information, generate a layout that would show prepress how to impose the job you planned, what features would you want to see in it? Best regards, pd

Hi all, If software (used only by job planners) existed solely for the purpose of generating paper layouts (to show prepress folks how to impose a job), what features would you want to see? Be as detailed as possible. Thanks, pd

You might find some information here: https://eco3.com/products/n95-vcf?tab=specifications Anything beyond that, you may need to contact ECO3 support.

Is that plate cleaner compatible with the Eclipse plate (according to ECO3)? We use Antura plate cleaner.

Did you recently install a new batch of plates? It...could...be a bad batch? Did your pressroom recently change anything like fountain solution or fountain solution dosage? Did they turn down their water on press? Blanket/packing material issue? Pressure/vacuum? Do you have another press you...

So the company I mentioned charges a crazy amount? I'm only asking because I haven't used them in over a decade so not familiar with their current service offerings/prices.

This company might be able to help: Konica Minolta Copier | Wide Format Copy Machines | Canton Ohio | GEI Best regards, pd

I have no experience with OKI printers but the vertical lines seem like they should not be there. Since you've basically replaced everything else, I would try the fuser. If the lines persist, the only other thing I can think of is to try a different stock? I assume you have tried contacting OKI...

What printer is this? Best regards, pd

Was there a time when the printer did not print the vertical lines? Best regards, pd

Hi all, Has anyone ever worked with .afp files (let alone heard of them?)? I found a site that converts afp to pdf but for the file my sales rep gave me, what I get after conversion is a low-res image of text that looks like a postcard format. Any help is greatly appreciated! Best regards, pd
