Thanks Joe, now I just need to convince the MD to part with the cash.

Thanks Joe, would you know if I was to upgrade to Prinergy 5.1 could I still keep using Preps 5?

My prinergy 5.0.3.2.1 is still handling this one wrong. Don't know if 5.1 (or later) fixed anything like this.

Layers are supposed to move by Holding the OPTION (alt) Key down when dragging them in Acrobat's Layer panel. I'm not having any success with this if the Document wasn't created with layers and they are created by Pitstop (following JonasY's instructions). I've read somewhere that Acrobat...

I can confirm it behaves the same on my set up. I've got Acrobat 9 (intel-imac 10.5), and 8 and 7 (on a PPC 10.4). I'm running Prinergy 5.0.3.2.1 It views differently in Acrobat 9, (probably how its intended to look) both before and after refining. I tried outputting a cyan plate and that...

I've got Acrobat 9 (intel-imac 10.5), and 8 and 7 (on a PPC 10.4). I'm running Prinergy 5.0.3.2.1 I've seen one or two PDFs that display differently, but only one where the VPS matched the incorrect Acrobat 7 and 8. I never got around to trying to output that one to plate what happens to yours...

Export to .idml will open in CS5 and CS4 (according to posters on the InDesign Forum) also you can install both versions on the same machine.

I never quite got to the bottom of it but I was getting really weird cmyk splits as an alternative colour space to a Photoshop Duotone EPS (with two PANTONES) placed into quark8.1 and either Exported via JAWS or Print Postscript then Distill. There seemed to be some heavy duty unwanted color...

Pitstop sometimes reports the Alternate color space percentages. Typically from Quark you see conflicting definitions for the same DeviceN on an object by object basis. Often quark objects have Alternate space Lab and placed EPS have Alternate space cmyk.

Get your customers who don't have Acrobat Pro to turn on Overprint Preview in Acrobat Reader's preferences. This should them allow then to see the file correctly.

With placed images, different image formats split at different points (seems to be based on total number of pixels (trying to remember...if this is only when flattening?... I think EPS splits at smaller total pixel number then TIFF then PSD)) when Illustrator writes the PDF part of the file...

Given a choice between an early2009 27" iMac i7 with the 512MB graphics card or a late2009 27" iMac i5 with the 1GB graphics card. Which would you go for?

Quark introduced a checkbox in the print menu to include PDF Trimbox data with 8.1, is it the same on both macs? Prior to that, Distiller probably needed help with a Prinergy startup file, is it possible that one of your Acrobat 9 didn't get that installed during the Workshop installation.

A specific example would be for interlocking cartons, each individual carton would have different offsets and PDF Boxes due to inconsistent artworking in Illustrator. Each InDesign bounding box would be consistent but may have extra bleed on one edge. If you have say ten cartons and Sheet1 uses...

can InDesign copy the image from one picture bounding box into another and hold the x y offsets yet? Couldn't manage this with CS2 or CS3

Count me in, in needing this feature. Foil die makers tend to need really simple files, definitely no transparency or layers, even Overprint preview can be a problem. Additionally it gets really complicated when the cmyk knocks out to form the shape of a foil separation.

InDesign (CS2 and later I think) can convert DCS 2 to composite PDF, not sure about DCS 1. It may be that these are copydot, can you open them in Photoshop?

Its best to not get worked up about it and just burn it all to disc. Obviously if its a lot of hours you could charge an unarchive cost. If the customer genuinely is making corrections and coming back then its going to be a lot easier dealing with correct files than fixing junk again. If you...

I've got my own thread about collation marks on the GUA forum not working when Heads are in different directions on different sections. I still can't get it to work with Preps 5.3.3 However with Preps 5 if you want more than one section on one sheet you used to only be able to choose it at...

Quite often transparent TIF coloured as a spot will be flattened by InDesign into the PDF as Overprinting White. If its changed to cmyk the overprint no longer works on underlying cmyk, it needs a RIP to be set to simulate the overprints. If you go back to InDesign and change the spot colour to...
