    New document/tab building software needed

    What I was getting at with contacting efi was whether they can create a workflow to convert the docs from the Xerox format and add the tabs.. I sometimes use jobmaster myself and someone from efi did once say if I had job flow it would be possible to have a complete hot folder automation based...

    New document/tab building software needed

    So I think in tf prep you can save the tab settings and carry across to an updated or different document, it's just not something I've ever done as it's not my workflow. It's actually a major source of frustration with it for me as tf prep has presets and hot folder functionality plus v good...

    New document/tab building software needed

    Total flow prep is an option for tabs seeing as you are with Ricoh but I am deeply dissatisfied with their ongoing product support and development. I've been using it since the beginning of 2021 and I don't think they've introduced a single new feature nor solved any of the frustrating...

    Looking to setup a print press in the UK

    Purchase/lease price is only one part of the equation and you need compare it alongside the cost of maintaining and operating the machine. If you don't know what you are doing but want a used machine you should only be considering used machines offered by the manufacturer or a competent...

    Thermal bind book cooling rack?

    Folks I have a powis parker fastback 20 which has a two compartment cooling rack for the books coming out of it. When we have a big run to bind this is less than ideal. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a larger capacity cooling rack separate to the machine, where the books lie...

    Ricoh B/W Digital Presses

    I had a very quick demo of a Ricoh 83xx?? in 2020 and it was inserting pre printed tabs which was all then being in-line punched by a GBC stream punch. It was extremely fast with almost no delays inserting them. I want to say that I also tested it with them printing in line but I can't find a...

    Acrobat SO SLOW...

    Yeah I also hate that and constantly click on "return to old layout" or whatever it's called. Most infuriating is the part where you go to schedule a collection and it gives you three options to schedule one which requires you to login again to get to the scheduling page. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

    Understanding Color Calibration Process - I feel stupid - what am I missing?

    I can't help you but just wanted to say I appreciate this post.. as someone who regularly posts a disclaimer before many of my queries on here that I don't really know what I am doing when it comes to colour and prepress and am self taught, it's refreshing to see a post like this.

    Acrobat SO SLOW...

    I've had so many problems with people at work who unreasonably block attempts to change and modernise. I could almost write a book on it. Increasingly, however I find myself becoming frustrated by dramatic changes to OS and software layouts which take time to relearn the shortcuts and rapid use...

    Acrobat SO SLOW...

    In connection with the original query.. I often work with documents several thousand pages long. I have acrobat pro 2020 which is 32bit. Am I right in understanding that to get the 64bit acrobat I need to sign up for DC? I can't seem to find a 64bit download for 2020. Otherwise - I have a...

    One sided image crop - acrobat pro

    I'm trying to do some quick and dirty image cropping in Acrobat Pro 2020. When I crop one side of an image using the little grab handle in the middle of a side of the image, it is then also cropping the perpendicular side of the image which I do not want it to do. If I wanted that I'd crop...

    Are Riso ComColor worth it?

    Nonsense. The only options are not riso, cheap HP laser or high end Canon/OCE lasers. Have a look at some refurbished black and white production printers

    Nobody will give me a service contract for my Versant 180 despite low use & being immaculate.

    Oh yeah this is the guy in the UK with a printer in his living room who can't get his printer to print consistent margins or something despite ignoring all of the advice from everyone on here repeatedly telling him what to do. Lol

    Microsoft Print to PDF driver and difficult documents

    No - they're mostly documents which have been scanned. Paperwork, statements , expert reports, legal authorities, evidence etc. OCR will have been applied but often contains errors - things like scanned artefacts being incorrectly detected as text.. OCR on scanned foreign languages and paper...

    Microsoft Print to PDF driver and difficult documents

    I'd love to send you some files but they're all super confidential evidence so I'm unable to. Optimise or PDF X don't fix it either. I was just wondering if there is a belt and braces - nuke it all option where I could layer steps together to get a similar outcome to reprinting the pdf P.s. -...

    Microsoft Print to PDF driver and difficult documents

    We receive a lot of documents to print which cause errors in Fiery and Total Flow Prep and they refuse to print. Nearly always, reprinting the PDFs using Microsoft Print to PDF gives us a document which we are able to print. So I'm wondering what is happening here and whether/how I can build a...

    How to add a binding margin in Acrobat Pro?

    Can anyone explain to me how I can add a binding margin to a document using preflight in Acrobat Pro? At present I get my make ready software to do this but I wanted to see if I could already do it in Acrobat Pro. Current workflow is: - Multiple documents of various sizes combined into single...
