Re: Quark ruined my Friday Yeah, I did that a while ago. I noticed something else strange about the PDF's. They all have the dimensions 705.6004x (nothing). There is no vertical value. I think I might need to reinstall. Also, one of the machines that made the pages was still on 6.1 and this...

Ok, there were two Quark documents. The first and second half of a publication. I received both of them to make PDF's out of. I was printing these PDF's out of Quark 6.5 using Adobe PDF 8.0 print driver. Here is the problem: I went to check out the page I had just made in Acrobat and...

Re: Request for specifications > {quote:title=ar17 wrote:}{quote} > you can adopt the new isocoated_V2 profile, set the ink limits to 300 and your sheetfed will be able to print with good result... Unfortunately, I have no profile editor...

Re: Request for specifications > {quote:title=William Campbell wrote:}{quote} > > Now, on to your question of tonal value limits, 2-3% is fine at the low end, but I find it odd to speak of 90% unless you're referring to a grayscale (K only) image. When speaking CMYK we talk total ink...

Re: down sample images when merging pdf's with acrobat 7 Put all the files into one page maker document, print that to .ps and send it through Distiller. Just make sure Distiller is not down-sampling.

Re: Request for specifications I do know that and I did ask them what profile they recommend. They acted like I was the first person to ask that question. The exact question I asked was "what profile do you recommend for converting to cmyk?" It does not get much more straightforward than that...

I can't seem to get a clear answer from the printer so I thought someone here might be able to help. We have a job being printed on a Heidelberg CD 74 F format and I am looking for an estimation of maximum shadow density and lowest printable highlight value. Also, would US Sheetfed coated v2 be...

Re: Editing Images Do you have an older acrobat that does not support 16 bits per channel. Open it in Photoshop and see what color space ad bit depth it is nin. Dan R.

Re: Odd bug -- type in PDF appears on screen but disappears on the RIP Is this only on a PC? I don't see any options at all for the PDF print driver(Adobe PDF 8.0) on my mac (Intel Macbook Pro, OS10.4.11) or do I just not know where to look? Well, There are a few options in the os print dialog...

Re: Word Background Won't Show Up in PDF what print driver is printing the PDF?

Re: JPEGs OK as Final Art in InDesign CS3? Yes, but this is situational. If you are in a situation where a photograph has the potential to be opened and resaved again and again, it will be compressed again every time. It won't take much to end up with visible artifacts. Also, if, as is the case...

Re: EPS ripping gray (not grayscale)-INDD You must be doing very large format printing if your file is that large. That may be the case, you did not say. If you are not, well, I don't know what to tell you then. My first guess just by looking at the problems in the clip of your PDF, even if I...

Re: EPS ripping gray (not grayscale)-INDD You are right. I did not know that. However, I made a PDF from a PSD that I had that had many layers including two text layers. One of the text layers stayed vector and the other did not. So, there appears to be an exception. The text layer that became...

Re: EPS ripping gray (not grayscale)-INDD 248MB? Why so large? If you are going right to a RIP, why do you need to keep the text vector? You should keep a master file with your layers and vectors, but copy the file and flatten it for final print. It seems you are making it way more complicated...

Re: Illustrator 10 pallets I have seen a bad prefs file affect other apps before. It only happened one time, but I would try and trash the prefs for every app you have on the system and run some maintenance scripts (like Onyx or something). If that doesn't work, it looks like it is time to...

Re: Photoshop Clipping path trouble-help! Yeah, I can't replicate your problem either. Can anyone still using CS2 replicate this?

Re: JPEGs OK as Final Art in InDesign CS3? If you do not need to do anything to the pictures, keep them as jpeg. Opening them and saving them as a tiff will not do anything to the picture at all as you cannot add any quality to an image. In other words tiff doesn't make your image any better...

Re: Adobe CS3 upgrade and activation woes I had quite a few problems with installation. This problem sounds much more serious though. Before rebuilding the machine, have you tried running some maintenance scripts on the machine and then trashing all the user prefs? Just out of curiosity, what...

Re: PSD Files, InDesign and PDF Export So, that layered (floating above) look in Photoshop just can't be maintained, huh?

Re: rgb cmyk luminosity shifts It might help to use your proof setup when retouching. Got to view-proof setup-custom and choose your eventual cmyk profile. Now you can at least see what you will get when you eventually convert. For me, I never use dodge and burn for print photos. I find you...
