Unfortunately you cannot edit PDFs within InDesign, only place them as links. There is a 3rd party solution called PDFMarkz from Markzware that will make PDFs into editable InDesign files. I have not used it personally, but I did use another one of their products, QXPMarkz, to convert...

This was my favorite ad of that time period. H.A.L. Y2K Macintosh commercial

Output Preview in Acrobat Pro can cause some wonky stuff. I've noticed that is you have a PDF that is a fillable form, it flashes like a strobe light upon first opening the file.

The company I recently worked for used Cyrious. I was in prepress at the time, not a project manager, but they seemed to like it.

Greetings all. I just started a job where PressWise is heavily utilized. My last exposure to PW was about 6 years ago. My question is... After a component is batched, is there a way to have that Batch # appear on the job ticket? I would like it to appear in the appropriate component and also be...

Being an owner or management does NOT automatically make you a Leader.

With Chevy Chase in the video!

Over the years I have had 3 different double-sided proofing systems. 1) Our first was a SpinJet 1000. It was an accessory for the HP DesignJet 1000 series from TechSage that would automate flipping the sheet. It used a single printer. The first side would print from a roll, while printing the...

At my last shop we were running an app called "Prepress Interface", albeit a very old edition. You could define curves and apply them to the outgoing CIP3 files. You could even send to different presses independently with their own curve set..

I'm not sure if this is still true but years ago the rumor was the the Saphira plates were manufactured by Agfa.

I bought and used one of these for about 10 years. Great machine as long as you keep up on your maintenance, which isn't that bad.

Acrobat Reader allows you to turn overprint simulation on, but it must be done in the application preferences.

I am honestly surprised it is only at 5,000 units. Xitron has been around for eons as well at the Navigator system. In my travels I have seen at least a dozen different installs.

I have actually printed on golf balls in the past. The company LogoJet makes devices that are designed for printing on 3D substrates. I have used these in the past, albeit was several generations older than this. At the time the print engine used was an EPSON.

This is true, but the OP states that the PDF was amalgamated. Probably PDFs from several sources. That would explain why they are embedded on some pages and not on others.

PocketPal is a good resource but it is really more of a basic introduction to concepts. IE: it may describe what an imposition is but it won't instruct you on how to achieve it.

IMHO, 300 is too course of an anilox for the details required. It looks like "dot-dipping".

I don not think any reasonable prepress professional would argue this point. BUT... a lot of times we are given files that represent an '86 Yugo and the expectation from the client is that we produce a Pebble Beach Concourse level Mercedes 300 SL. We all know the excuses we receive when asking...

I really don't think it will affect them much. There is (and has been) so much re-branding in the printing industry. Scanners, imagesetters, platesetters, processors. Back in 1989 we purchased 2 Nikon LS-3500 film scanners and they were re-packaged under at least 5 different brands. I don't...

Sad, but not surprising. The Great Falls Tribune and the Missoulian (both in Montana) are printed in Helena Montana. What is really interesting is that while the Independence Record (Helena) and the Missoulian are both publications of Lee Enterprises, The Great Falls Tribune is owned by Gannett.
