    Is linear plates more important that backward compatibility with TVI curves?

    Some will understand where the question comes from, but wanted to ask the community as a whole. When targeting ISO or eg FOGRA 39 do you have linear CTP plates? Is it important? Are you able to hit the target TVI curves on paper? If you are having problems to get the TVI for FOGRA 39, would be...

    Acrobat Preflight 9 vs X

    The ink manager has a shortcoming (ink manager is the same in convert colours, or if you click on the ink bottle to get directly to it or approach it from the output preview or the advanced print dialogue) that the colours are not previewed as swatches. But the ink manager was designed so that...

    Acrobat X Output Preview not accurate

    Seems like a colour management policy problem. Are you assuming a "safe" CMYK and then in some stage of your workflow invoking colour management? Leonard can correct me if I'm wrong but if you do not use a PDFx then the device profile is assumed to be the profile in the color management...

    Transparency Flatterner Preset

    It could also be overprinting issues. I don't know how corel handles this but we do have one or two who are experienced in corel… maybe this needs not be in Adobe fourum? (I hope corel users still dare visit it )

    View in Illustrator

    20% screen of what colour? You say the setup is the same… have you tried removing calibration settings? You say the settings are the same but what settings are they?

    Are you using Adobe Illustrator to print?

    There used to be a utility called PPD editor, in which you could lock printer specific features. It would mean one PPD per set up. I know for you it appears as a bug even if it is a hand over from application to printer that you are finding problematic. The question is how much of a printers...

    Are you using Adobe Illustrator to print?

    Have you filed a bug/feature request? I think you can save a printer configuration, and then use that setting for illustrator the problem is it is not an application issue rather a workflow issue, involving the application, the OS and the printer driver… which makes it hard to know up which...

    Are you using Adobe Illustrator to print?

    I think most workflows are PDF based, and it is normal to export the AI (save as) PDFx4 for automatic preflight and imposition.

    Some times designing or automating means spending alot of time understanding the customer and their workflow. What is the date they are interested in an how do I find it in the database. It is not always that the road is straight. Looking at your list it seems like something that is seeded in a...

    Actually was able to tweak that a litte (it was counting new line as white space halving the number of lines) (^.*)(\<\S+)$ this expression looks for begining of word ( \< ) instead of a white space. So first bracket is any number of characters at the beginning of a paragraph, folowed by a...

    GREP help

    Could your request be resaid in that you want to keep the last word in each paragraph or is there more to it? I'm a little confused by "keyword" in your descriptions? The last word can be selected by finding any consecutive wordcharacters preceded by a period positioned at the end of a...

    convert rgb to cmyk in illustrator cs5

    One more thing… are you sure that the PDF is 100% RGB? PDF can handle mix of colour profiles and colour spaces. You can have an RGB PDF with device RGB and ICC based RGB colours… you may want to do your colour conversions in PDF before opening in Photoshop and/or Illustrator. Also (and this...

    convert rgb to cmyk in illustrator cs5

    If you look at the colour settings there are subtle differences between applications. Now if I could see your settings then it would be less abstract to discuss what and why. For one Illustrator has "preserve numbers" as a CMYK option, which does not appear in Photoshop. Why? Well lets look at...

    :) This is why I love this forum sharpening my skills. Also worth to note that this means that one image may be rendered correctly when placed in one image and incorrectly in another… and it is very hard to trouble shoot.

    convert rgb to cmyk in illustrator cs5

    Why have synchronised settings? Also you can have them warn you even if they are synchronised. Either way that they are synchronised does not mean the settings are good, just that they are the same (where possible)

    How to resize a PDF?

    there is an export but it's called "save as…" and look at more options. But don't know why you would want to… normally this kind of thing is done in imposition software.

    Is it impossible? Are you saying you are looking for "keyword" that may or may not be followed by "2" ? that shouldn't be a problem. If you don't want to post the actual keyword explicitly you may PM me or skype me and we can try work it out.

    Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud

    Almost true. It is the first art that is placed with a named colour that defines that colour (which is only apparent when you view with overprint preview). If you add the named colour before any artwork with that colour exists, you can define it any way you want (though Lab would be a good...
