    Pitstop V21 (update 1)

    I have installed that update on several Macs running either Mojave, Catalina, or Big Sur and never experienced that on any of them. Are you on a Mac or Windows.

    If the underline is a stroke you can tell it to change black strokes only. (I think)

    PDF Export Question for InDesign - Acrobat 10 & Later

    You would probably be surprised how many services have popped up in the last few years that promise to fix designers "output" problems because when printing a PDF to their 20 year old postscript laser printer with live transparency it doesn't produce correctly. All they do is take a perfectly...

    Some fonts are clear and some small fonts are broken.

    Looks like the text is an image, 300 dpi or lower, instead of vector that should output at the highest resolution of the output device.

    Kodak Insite

    You may need to stop and restart the IIS 6.0 SMTP Virtual Server after making the ICU changes. Or to make it easier just reboot the Insite Server and try again.

    Kodak Insite

    Are the generated emails getting to the mailroot\Badmailfolder? On our system that is at: J:\inetpub\mailroot\Badmail. If they are in there you can open them in a text editor to see the error message as to why they didn't send which might give you a clue as to why they are not sending. Also...

    Acrobat image compression

    It is NOT a "our workflow" problem. Trust me they (customers) have all been told. I can't go to their location and tie their hands behind their back. As far as Adobe...had they never let Photoshop have the ability to open or save a PDF life would be better.

    Acrobat image compression

    Welcome to printing. Almost all images in the work we have are "ridiculously cropped / magnified and then artificially up-rezzed". Almost all print customers receive perfectly fine PDF ads and proceed to open them in Photoshop at 72 dpi, RGB, and save them as jpeg with max compression because...

    Acrobat image compression

    But if it is a photographic image it will use JPEG compression, correct. Not cool Adobe...not cool at all. And don't get me started on "text content in raster format". Ugh.

    Acrobat image compression

    In my test I had a PDF with an image in it that was not compressed. I used the PDF optimized setting for Compression: Retain Existing and I saved that PDF out of Acrobat DC to a new PDF. The uncompressed image came out still uncompressed. As far as Indesign I believe if you place a PDF into...

    Acrobat image compression

    There are uncompressed tiff files and there are tiff files that use LZW compression. The only thing we use tiff files for nowadays are one-bit tiff files using LZW compression for making plates.

    Acrobat image compression

    Yes change your setting to Compression: Retain Existing. At least that worked on the test file I tried it on. FYI your image above is not a screen shot of the Acrobat PDF Optimizer settings. Those are your PDF export settings. The PDF Optimizer settings don't even have a Compression: None...

    Acrobat image compression

    I think the only way is to create an optimized PDF setting and change image compression to 'use existing', in your case none, and then turn off all other optimization options. Then Save as Optimized PDF using the settings you created.

    How to explain "overprint" to dumb clients?

    There is a link to the action list to apply this strip to a PDF but it does not work. Is there a new action list that works with the latest version of Pitstop Pro?
