    Pitstop acrobat layers

    Concept is to be able to make a die for say 26 vendors. Put the litho art into this. Customer makes a 27 layer file. Vendor_C receives the file. Vendor_C removes all layers but Litho and Vendor_C I have actually made this work now with Pitstop using color names vs layers. I would still love for...

    Scripting Acrobat

    Imagine a PDF with 27 layers. Common LITHO layer one XXX_A layer 2 XXX_B layer 3, etc to _Z PAINFUL to go into each PDF and tell each of the 25 layers that I do not want to "not print", etc. Can I script Acrobat to turn off all but _J for example? Going to post into Pitstop forum as well

    Acrobat (latest) and large number page PDFs

    I thought it was my machine. (2 year old Mac Pro Cylinder with 32 gig ram). So, I wiped a partition and did a brand new install of El Capitan and the entire CC Suite (2015) If I open a 150,000 page PDF by double clicking (or dragging onto an already open Acrobat) it absolutely FREEZES over and...

    Illustrator CC 2015

    Automating prepress workflow

    I have had Switch for 9 years now. One of the early adopters back before it was owned by Enfocus. GREAT product. However, as powerful as YOU make it. You can do some rudimentary things with the incredible workflow GUI. However, to truly get the power, I would get Pitstop Server as well. Also...

    El Capitan / Adobe / Fonts

    We have used Universal Type Server (or Font Reserve before that) for over a decade now. I have always downloaded the Best Practices PDF and deleted out fonts (Helvetica / Helvetica Neue / Courier / etc) prior to Adobe installation. For El Capitan, I did this and it caused major issues. So, I...

    El Capitan and Adobe - can we finally get a definitive statement?

    I guess my question is really this. WHEN is Adobe going to make a statement that El Capitan and CC are compatible? If they have, can I get a link?

    El Capitan and Adobe - can we finally get a definitive statement?

    Maybe I have been out of the loop? Is Adobe CC (the latest, greatest, download) completely kosher with El Capitan? I mean, we are only about 100 days out of launch....

    Adobe INDD CC 2015 vs idml - strange issues

    We have noticed something over the past three months. For some reason it has gone from a trickle to a deluge in the past two weeks. We own CC 2015 Sometimes our customers work in CC 2014 or possibly even CS6 They send in an INDD and also a IDML If I open the INDD in CC 2015, it shows that all...

    Pittop 13 - change font

    I am upgrading form 13 to 13.1 as we speak, but I do not think that will change this question. I have a font (true type zapf dingbats) It ALWAYS subsets, and even if you tell it to embed all fonts, it remains subset. I want to select this font by EAL. I have both fonts turned on on my machine -...

    Acrobat DC - guides - anyone else having this problem?

    OK. I appreciate the feedback. I had to recently do a complete re-install due to 10.10.5 causing major network issues. Went to 10.10.3 and it all got better. I might start over.

    Acrobat DC - guides - anyone else having this problem?

    If I hit "command R" on my Mac and bring up the ruler. Then, I try to drag a guide onto a PDF...I get the annoying spinning lollipop. VERY consistently. Anybody else have this? I am on the latest DC running on 10.10.3

    Interesting Adobe change

    Why, Joe, it would seem that you and I should get a beer and commiserate over our shared experiences with Adobe! Let me start.....I have gone round and round about fonts going to hieroglyphics sometimes when the font has a ligature used. I take it to my friends at Extensis - who ask for a...

    Interesting Adobe change

    About four years ago, we noticed that putting a bullet (•) into a line of text would cause the entire line of text to subset when it went to PDF. Even if we had the subsetting set to zero. Take the bullet out - voila, a complete font set. We use that font set in the next set of software that...

    Acrobat DC update today...

    ^^^ Because secretaries, the true people Adobe is programming for, like to see pretty pictures and notes when they open up files. Had Adobe bothered to ask the professionals that have bought their products for a quarter of a century, we would have resoundingly said, "HELL NO"!
