Anyone know of a way to locate all italics in a PDF? We have a large number of legacy files we're converting to digital by OCR, save as .rtf, place into Indesign and format. Works well but all formatting has to re-applied to prep them for importing into our system and the most time consuming...

What about carbon arc plate burners? Along with tray developing, linotype and kluge, Miehle...

Just curious, not in the digital world yet, how often do the drums and fuser belt have to be changed? You pay for those parts or are they in the service agreements? Thanks

Anyone know of where we could recycle our old film negatives these days? Thanks

In addition to all the responses above, after going thru many phases of color management and curves for presswork, keep this in mind: The coverage on each individual sheet will affect TVI. The coverage varies a little, sometimes a lot, from run to run, so you will find it necessary to adjust...

It's working fine here also, I would add however that we have on more than one machine minor issues if we just updated the OS, but if we went back and wiped it and did a clean re-install those issues went away. Also, have to revert to an older version of Java I think helped with Indesign CS6...

Not so much cynical as just the way it is. I wouldn't have so much of a problem with art or craft IF some ability was demonstrated to solve problems, instead of just requesting me to adjust curves to make it work for them continually! Otherwise it's just asked how do we know which is right, the...

Just out of curiosity, are you measuring with the same instrument all the time, or different ones at different consoles? Did you check your instrument?

Bret, how often do you find it necessary to update that profile? And how often do you change your house stock? Our pressroom uses a lot of different papers, all 100# gloss text, but from different companies just randomly and if things don't match so well they want me to adjust the curves for...

So I suppose you have custom curves for every brand\supplier of 80# gloss cover you run? And silk\dull? Same data (curves) I'm assuming is what you're referring to, on same type of paper, gloss, dull, etc. is usually the norm is it not? We use several different paper suppliers and we do get...

We are having trouble reprinting a job that we've successfully printed in 2009 and reprinted in 2014. We used lightfast inks and are printing on our half-size Heidelberg. These are photos of 8x10, 11x14 and 16x20. Original 2009 printing was regular 175lpi screening, 2014 reprint was FM screening...

Yes, see the edit I added at the top of my post, thanks.

OK, nevermind, just got it fixed, required Java 6 instead of 8 apparently. Ok, just upgraded Preps to v7.5 so I can upgrade my desktop to El Capitan now but when I start Preps I get a message saying, "To use the “java” command-line tool you need to install a JDK." and click in there for...

Yes, and they will have to, because TVI varies according to the amount of varying ink coverage that happens to be in line with the tint patch of the color bar of each process color, on any given job. One job may have 0% in line with a 50% C patch and the next 95%, the TVI will not be the...

Yes, I know, we should have just rebuilt the files in Indesign before we started down the translation process but we're pretty far down that road now. Our designers built the files in Photoshop with all kinds of special effects applied like inner and outer glows, faux bold, drop shadows...

We have 15 files that are being printed in up to 50 languages. The translations come to us in Word. Is there any way to copy that Word text and paste it into Photoshop AND retain the formatting already applied in Photoshop? If not, is there a work around to achieve the same thing? Without...

We've had the same problem for several years. Our IT has never found a solution that fixes it yet. Best I could narrow it down was Finder, used a Finder replacement for a while and didn't have those issues, need to go back to that I guess. Just now, trying to copy files from one network...

Why silently? My Optimizing presets are gone now...should it not have kept those if it's going to delete my previous version?

That is what I was hoping but some of these pages do have stray elements, like the ones I was doing yesterday, most of them have a black line running vertically down the image between the edge of the page and the type, from the scanner, so not sure what I'd do with those.

Yes, that's what I did. I had downloaded the new DC version and was checking it out and found that. I went in settings and turned off almost everything except deskew and that did good job on what I've seen so far. Only did a few files though, found a page or two that needed a little more...
