ok. How do I even do that?

My Windows PC just asked me to restart to complete some updates and when I did, there were a bunch of changes to production house too. I always use the Layout tool so that is where I am seeing changes. 1. There is no more "grid" on the 96x48" layout preview. 2. Once I'm done laying out all my...

Yeah I guess if the client is willing to pay, then I'm all for it. I haven't had that experience. But then again, most of the designers who send us work aren't making mistakes. They send us a print ready PDF and we rename it and send it back to them for approval.

I guess I'm just used to working for bigger clients. Our clients have pretty top notch designers but they are continually sending us files in RGB, which we are continually fixing (for free-not that it takes a lot of time). Butthere comes a time when you need to educate. Designers need to learn...

A good designer designs for a purpose. And unless they are in a company that has its own prepress department (which is unlikely-besides designers who work for print houses), they should know how to set up their document for print - to a point (ensuring file is CMYK, proper blacks are being used...

There is a reason why most reputable print houses have a list of print ready art specs on their websites. If a designer can't follow the rules, perhaps they should be in another industry.

It kind of defeats the purpose of having a proofing process if you're fixing outside art. I understand making small, obvious changes if you see them, but to me, if a client approves their own work, that's how it should get printed.

Send it back to the client. We didn't edit outside art. When you get outside art in, you aren't being paid to make changes to it. So why waste your time. It would take the artist seconds to do it in their original file and send it back to you.

At my last job, all printready art was to be sent with fonts already converted to curves/outlines. Problem solved.

It's been like this for at least a month now for me. Im running Windows 7 Pro. Almost anything I click on will not load unless I click to a different Chrome tab and then back in. No other website does this.

Chrome had an update today. It seems to have sped some things up (I think) but for the most part, I'm still having to click into another tab and come back, for the page to load.

This is gonna probably make me sound like the ultimate newb, but I just heard of Sketchbook Pro this weekend and I'm wondering 2 things: if anyone knows what its all about? And also, I saw a video that appears to allow the user to use some kind of a radial duplication tool and I'm wondering if...

I have a few critiques but thatke them with a grain of salt... 1. On the front: Not that it will eventually matter, but if you are proofing this version, you might wanna change "compant name" to company name" and something about the word "today" doesn't seem to flow just right.... I think it...

Really dislike that we have to manually get rid of notifications. Also-I don't know if anything has been done about the issue with Chrome, but I haven't noticed any difference. I still need to click to a different tab and then back to PP for it to load.

Yeah having to delete notifications is annoying. Like any other website, it should just go away once it's been read/dealt with.

I hate to assume anything, but I'd venture a guess that probably 95% of the PDFs we receive were originated in Illustrator. Not many people use Corel anymore and IMHO, any other program is pretty substandard. We have pretty high up clients so I'd be surprised to learn that they're using anything...

OK well that I didn't know. I'm unsure of what an Action List is, but I will check out the videos for sure. But would you agree that it would just be easier to create the die like itself in Illustrator?? Sometimes they are crazy shapes...not just rectangles. (Not that I'd know how to make a...

My issue is that I'm almost always dealing with supplied art where I need to add a cut line (for wide format) that is a specific spot color with a specific name (Die Line) for outsourcing purposes. Now, I am sure there is a way to do this in PitStop, but I find it takes me all of 1 minute to...

Would I sound really stupid to say that I don't see it as editing a PDF, I see it as editing art. The PDF is just the vehicle the art comes in. BUt you're showing me that I guess I'm wrong.
