That is what I was afraid I would hear. I know that I can go in and put all of my tools up on the bar. I just don't like the look. It seems so strange to me that INDD and Photoshop have worked so hard to look professional. Then, Acrobat looks like "Paint" or something from 1998?

OK, I know I will be lambasted for this - but, we have not updated our Acrobat since 9.54. Why? Because to be quite honest, me and my team all think that 10 and 11 look like something that a child designed. IE, I really think that Adobe played to the "secretary has a copy of Acrobat" mentality...

I kept a bottle of champagne in my refrigerator for over four years. Why? To celebrate the day that Nexpress was taken out of our shop. We had one from 2005 to 2010 as I recall. Remember this - each blanket is $600. Each Cylinder was $1,200 I think? If you had jam that ruined the blankets and...

I hate to say this, but we went with Mac Minis. I bought eight in the past 120 days. A brand new Mac Mini with 16 gig and a SSD drive actually out performs my Mac Pros that are 2.5 years old - even with SSD drives in them. If you get a Mini, I would suggest paying OWC to put in a data doubler...

No. I will use the file to go to one location - my digital web press (CiPress 500)

So, let's assume that my GMC Inspire had an engine for PDF VT (1 or 2) Here is my question. I have a Device Link Profile that I need to run to my output. GMC does not have a function to allow that to happen on the fly. I end up with a PDF that is 100,000 pages (example) I need to apply a device...

I have a CiPress 500 Digital Web. I have completely given up on spots and transparency. In fact, I am now using all of my skills garnered between 1990 and 2007 (the advent of APPE) and am applying those long forgotten skills to "dummying" files to rip on a digital web.

We use GMC Inspire (Formerly PrintNetT) - costly, but if you are driving a digital web press at 500 FPM, you better have the right software to feed the beast.

GMC Inspire (Formerly Print Net T) is the industry standard (in my opinion) of software to drive a digital web press. I believe (mark my words) that we will design in GMC within 2-3 years. Currently, we have to take a PDF from INDD and "tear" it apart. Make one part into the static LITHO (done...

When this is imported into GMC Inspire, the ENTIRE font is now bad. Example - Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. *Times New Roman - Embedded. Comes into GMC PERFECT. Example - •Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. *Times New...

Leonard, I am downloading a trial of this. Please riddle me this until then though. I have discovered that a bullet (option 8) in any font automatically goes from embedded to embedded subset. Remove the bullet, VOILA - embedded. So, if I have a 300 page pdf is Times New Roman, if just ONE page...

We have a client that has submitted 300 single pdfs per month for years now. They have them setup with a nomenclature that flows through our PitStop and PitStop Server rather nicely. They are now asking us to accept ONE pdf with 300 layers. (Example - Common LITHO A - with 50 LASER XXX_A...

Dov - This is Screen Trueflow V 7.2 I believe. It is an APPE rip. I wonder if it is the trapping that is causing the issue? Obviously, if two vectors intersect, and require trapping, then the PDF must be opened and changed. That is probably what is happening? As to the "Crimes against...

Leonard, I was hoping I would get you to join this discussion. I am going to speak to Screen today. I gave it permission to print (hi-res was the option) The only thing I want to lock is the ability to manipulate the type via Pitstop. I just cannot believe that I am the first to ask this? I...

I have thought of that. However, the experts from Adobe will tell you that that is the WRONG thing to do. Screws up transparency, etc. Also, the I's get fat on the PDF. They don't really plate fat, but it freaks out customers. Been there. Done that.

That is not the point at all. Not an issue of Approve. We looked into that a LONG time ago. I want to be able to make PDFs and send them to my vendors. IE, I do not print envelopes at my facility. I want to make the PDF of the envelope, tell MY customer that it will look the same, and move on...

Am I missing something here? I want to be able to lock a pdf from edit (IE, Pitstop). However, of course, I also want the PDF to be able to RIP. I am using Trueflow 7. I get an error when I go to RIP. I assume that all rips have similar issues. Is there an easy way to insure that my PDF will...

We use GMC Inspire (Formerly PrintNetT). We have it loaded on Macs and PCs. I am pushing more of a Mac world as I am seeing our digital web press as more of an extension of prepress and dp together. Inspire is fantastic on fonts transferring from a Mac to a Pc. The issue is when I open a job...

This might be in the wrong forum. However, it truly is a prepress issue to me. I can easily get a Windows shared drive to show up on my mac (command K smb://10.1.2.XX) Easy What I want (need) is for that drive to be mapped as the R drive like it would be in the wonderful world of Windows. Any...
