    Pitstop 11 add marks to trim box issue

    abc please can you add this as a feature request. I needed 5mm bleed which pitstop does, but needed the marks offset 5mm rather than the standard 2 and a bit, I found this thread so am sorted now with Jonasukulore's .eals . I'd ideally like to be able to set the bleed and offsets in the Clean...

    GUA forums down

    I had a Kodak support calI a couple of weeks ago about a font which wouldn't 1st refine in Prinergy 8.3 but would with 8.4. When I asked about being unable to find the GUA forums, the Kodak engineer in the UK thought that the GUA forum links had never worked from Europe. Let me know when they...

    Sheet Imposition Formula

    "folded panels being slightly unequal" I would think is referring to a 6pp roll fold finished size A4 would be typically set up as a spread with panel sizes 209-210-210 or 208-210-210 whereas a concertina or Z fold would typically be set up with equal panel sizes 210-210-210 If you have a throw...

    Sheet Imposition Formula

    At Stage 1 take off the Gripper Margin(s) and Colour bar (Height may also include a white margin top and bottom) from your sheet size. as an example this could be 12mmGrip + 6mm Colour Bar +1mm +1mm (White Margins) = 20mm off your 720mm sheet. or as a 2nd example for a Perfecting Press 10mm...

    Line&Strokes as PDF 5/1.4 from Latest Illustrator, become PathsWithFill

    As I understand it, later versions (including CS6) of Illustrator allow you to place the stroke inside or outside the vector (Align Stroke) as well as the default central to the vector, when you save Illy as PDF the mechanism isn't there so it converts to filled paths, the Illy half of the PDF...

    .pdf flattening

    wondering if by "flattened" they are seeing colour shifts due to converting/not-converting spot colour to cmyk rather than actually anything to do with transparency flattening. possible solution for matching results would be to print the Oris Postscript to file and refine the .ps in Prinergy.

    Affinity Publisher Beta is Released!

    I rely a lot on customers making changes and producing pdfs the same way they did the first time, e.g. colour settings and geometry and offsets, I am replacing the pdfs in Prinergy or switching in Acrobat. If i'm making changes I'm using Pitstop and not changing anything I shouldn't. The danger...

    Affinity Publisher Beta is Released!

    had a play 1. getting bleed to come out in a pdf (Export) is also an extra step. 2. switching on page information (slug) when Exporting a pdf you end up with a bigger gap at the top of the pdf than the bottom, so the Trim box is off centre to the media box. 3. placed a spot colour pdf and...

    Preps for perfect bound book, no bleed on the inside

    you want your standard 6mm gutter between pages, normally this is 3mm of bleed from from both pages. Your finisher has requested that area to be be white so change the bleed on the LH and RH pages to 0mm in Preps as described by Joe. You do not normally compensate for opening the book and...

    Opening a PDF with Illustrator - Epic Fail

    :oActually I don't think I'm half right, I'm completely wrong, I have mis-read or mis interpreted the meaning of the words, though I think that the words could be clearer, I shouldn't have used my poor attempt at humour in my post, I'd just like to apologise to Dov, and anyone on the forum if I...

    Re: Changing Signature Job Number in Prinergy

    Easiest way is to include the variable mark for your Prinergy job name to your preps imposition, you don't then need to change the name of the signature. if you need to change the name of the signature, as Joe says you can import, go to Job folder>System>Impositions>Preps> ....jdf or .pjtf Or if...

    Manual imposition numbering in Preps

    You can usually number fairly quickly using 1458... auto progression, you just have to flip from left to right (front to back) skipping every other card, suggest you do a mental check at the end of each row or column, and reset and repeat where necessary.:cool: I think the biggest number I've...

    creative cloud subscription a ripoff

    I'm actually astonished that Adobe still let you backsave down to idml. Would be interested to hear what happened to the archival version idea that Leonard R mentioned.

    creative cloud subscription a ripoff

    Subscription Model is better for Pro users. At Work they subscribe, I appreciate always having the up-to-date version, I no longer have major issues trying to match Application Versions, OS and Fonts (except for Typekit !), 95% of the time it just works. The Cost is about the same as upgrading 4...
