Hello Stephen, From the forums I saw, every one said VB Script was the way. I'll let you know what .BATman comes up with.

Hello Stephen, I found a link that might help you. https://serverfault.com/questions/776666/rename-files-to-add-date-modified-to-filename-with-windows-cmd-or-simple-txt Let me know if this is no good. I have a colleague who's good with BAT Files.

Ahhhh CS 5.5 .... such happy memories of a simpler time. Used to have this problem all the time. We buy CS2 then out comes CS3. We buy CS3 then out comes CS4 etc etc. We always used to have one copy of the latest version and then everyone else had what we could afford. -- So you only need...

Ahhhh - Gotcha. Just the kind of feature I like to avoid. Ok - so, off the top of my head, one could... Print to PDF with the default settings. Have that PDF written to a Automator Hot Folder. Have Automator pass the PDF through a PreFlight Droplet to amend the tick marks. Pass that amended...

Hello Urville, No. The HP Indigo uses an onboard Harlequin RIP. Do you use Fiery? Could you set up a custom spot colour on your DFE or RIP to convert "All" , "Registration" or "100/100/100/100" to 100% K ?

Hello Urville, We have an Indigo HP5600 and we don't get this problem. We have a Black Only RIP folder and a 4Color RIP folder and some other variations so the operator can control the jobs and avoid extra clicks if someone has been a bit lazy with their tick marks. We also use JLT files that...

We came very close to buying this. Sadly uncoated boards loose their texture after print is applied to them with the transfer material. It's a fabulous bit of kit. It looks like they are adding new features to it still. It might be overkill as just a proofer but if you are prototyping a wide...

Hello Stephen, It's a simple thing but you'll need to make sure you also have 6 identical anilox's. Printers don't always have full sets of everything. Now your 061 gear tooling is going to cost less than the 120 gear tooling but (please correct me if I am wrong) if your page is wider than it...

My concern would be how long will they be supported by HP. When is the end of life? Are they still developing the software. Is there a PC under the hood running Windows XP. A couple of them run Windows 7. When will Microsoft stop supporting those. Yesterday's technology tomorrow. Doesn't sound...

Thanks for your help Stephen, I'm away from my Mac right now so I can't share the result. Basically there are three guy's preparing these automated templates and they all use a slightly different method to set them up. As a result I need a combination of all of the above to cover all bases.

Hello Kdw75, So, you have the fold marks set up as templates already. So all you need to do is drop them on again and then run a preflight check for overlapping objects with a specific stroke width and registration as their stroke colour? Does that sound like your solution?

Hello Stephen, Thanks for having a go. I am relieved that it's not just me struggling with this one. The smaller object I can live with. How did you remove the large one? Can you upload or describe your Action List?

Hello Guys, I really need you help. I have some “form” objects in my PDFs that I just cannot remove in an Action List. Below are links to the before and after PDFs. You can see in Wireframe View how there are two empty boxes in the before.pdf that have been removed manually in the after.pdf...

We use NAS and connect with AFP. We only get missing folders when we move a lot of files about during the same day. It is almost as if it takes time for the directory to update. Also usingy bash script inside Apple script or automator can do the same. The folders show up in they end. When in...

Hello Magnus, A similar and free alternative can be found on this post. https://printplanet.com/forum/prepress-and-workflow/color-management/23160-color-atlas-illustrator-script Scroll down for the CMYK Surround postscript file. If that looks good to you the try the app version called CMYK...

Hello Magnus, I think this is still a very common problem. Erik is correct in saying that the customer does not want do deal with multiple colour values. They shouldn't have to. So the only answer is a single Lab target. So your challenge is to demystify Lab. Step one is to undermine the blind...

Hello, I'm away from my Mac right now, so I cannot test this for you, but yes. (Kinda) https://forums.adobe.com/message/5583061 As long as your illy doc has only one page .... Pitstop Pro would also sort this out for you.

Hello again William, I'm not sure such a plug in exists. I'm not sure how you could script this either. But Lch might be the way forward. The Lch colour space is much the same as Lab except the chroma is measured in 360 degrees. http://www.colourphil.co.uk/lab_lch_colour_space.shtml Now...

Glad you got it sorted. Hope it stays fixed.

Hello Qbot, You are on the right lines. Most companies I have dealt with accept a vector pdf file. No need to outline fonts, just stick to a system fonts unless you die cutting letterforms. Stylised is ok for a perforation as long as you specify the perforation spec (eg. 12 teeth per inch)...
