    PDF Letterhead

    Re: PDF Letterhead Yeah, but I mean printing to a PDF file.

    Acrobat 8 UI

    Re: Acrobat 8 UI I was just noticing something about this. A while back when we were talking about this, Leonard from Adobe piped in and said that it was due to a requirement by Apple, but that shouldn't really matter because, for some things, one click works. For example: the separation...

    PDF Letterhead

    Does anyone here know if there is a way to set up a pdf printer that will print a document and include a letterhead? I would think that someone has already made a ppd that will include a letterhead, but google is not turning up anything.

    Internet Office Abuse

    Re: Internet Office Abuse No music! Oh man, I could never work at a place that had a policy like that. We have an open office and if I did not stick in my headphones, I would get absolutely nothing done. I have not been blessed with the ability to tune out other people's conversations. Music...

    Why does Illustrator CS3 delay for a long time before opening files?

    Re: Why does Illustrator CS3 delay for a long time before opening files? Well, you need to update your OS for one thing unless you forgot to type an extra "1". You should be on os 10.4.11. Also, make sure Illy is fully updated. If you are good on updates, I would create a new user on your...

    PC jpeg's change size on Mac

    Re: PC jpeg's change size on Mac It is just saying that the jpeg filter for Quark was not programmed very well and Quark doesn't feel like fixing it. Probably because most people don't import jpegs into Quark. Just use tiff or png. Jpeg is really only useful for the web, but even then png is...

    PC jpeg's change size on Mac

    Re: PC jpeg's change size on Mac Well, if you read my reply again you will see that I was responding to OP who said that the proportions were correct. He said the picture, once saved, is coming back into Quark a different size. If Photoshop is just reading centimeters and he doesn't change the...

    PC jpeg's change size on Mac

    Re: PC jpeg's change size on Mac I am pretty terrible at math, but I don't think that works out right. 35.333" x 34" at 72 PPI should equal 20.4" x 15.3" at 160 PPI. If you are getting 8 x 6, then something crazy is going on. That is interesting, however, because I have noticed that if I...

    The lounge

    This is just a thought. I think that the "the lounge" forum should be on the main page. I go to the main page daily to check the latest posts and then click on my favorite categories to see if I missed anything, but I always forget about the lounge. Once every three months I remember and check...

    pdf from Quark 6.5

    Re: pdf from Quark 6.5 If you have Acrobat 7 or 8, you should already have a postscript printer. I believe that Quark uses the PPD of whatever printer is set to default in order to make the PDF so you might just be able to change your default printer to "Adobe PDF 7 or 8" or any other...

    Color management frustration

    Re: Color management frustration Rich, I think I have it figured out. I believe if you use the convert colors action and choose "de-calibrate cmyk" that that will get rid of the profile. I had my droplet doing that and removing output intent, but I guess the output intent part is not...

    Color management frustration

    Re: Color management frustration Thanks Leonard, That is how I understood Acrobat to handle rendering as well, but one of the first things that I do to a PDF is drop it on my preflight droplet which converts spot and RGB to cmyk and removes profiles (I hope it does anyway. The action I use...

    Color management frustration

    I am either missing something here or Adobe color management fails. I get different color in Acrobat 8 than I do in any other CS3 app. For example, if I take a PDF that I am sure has no icc profile associated with it and open it in PS, Illy and Acrobat, I get the same color in PS and Illy, but...

    photoshop droplets

    Re: photoshop droplets I have the test droplet working and now I just have to change the folder locations to server locations, make a new droplet and we should be up and running. Thank you for your suggestions Colorblind. I might have not thought it was possible otherwise. Next on my list will...

    photoshop droplets

    Re: photoshop droplets No, you didn't miss anything. I just wasn't clear on the intent. Really I just want to make sure common mistakes are not made, the proper files are saved in the proper place and an original copy is not "lost." Basically it would go like this. Open image Save a copy in...

    photoshop droplets

    Re: photoshop droplets Yes, that is a possibility, but every picture needs attention so I wouldn't need finder to do any sorting, but you have given me an interesting thought. You suggested having Photoshop display a dialog box to ask the user if the pic needs attention, but what if I had...

    photoshop droplets

    I was hoping someone here could either encourage or discourage something I am trying to do. I attempted make photoshop droplets on our server to automate some of the repetitive tasks of toning photos. The only problem is that there must be stops to allow users to do things that require...

    No luck distilling Quark 6.5 Postscript files

    Re: No luck distilling Quark 6.5 Postscript files There were some initial problems with the adobe PDF 8 driver on some machines here when CS3 first came out. Make sure Acrobat 8 is updated and repair acrobat installation has been run (it is under the help menu in Acrobat 8). Also, older Adobe...
