    Quite Imposing: De-Imposing a booklet?

    I don't even know where to begin how tedious that would be... unless you are volunteering. we have a few files in our archive LOL

    "Reverse Pages" reverses all of the pages, you can not select a range.

    Even after reboot... it doesn't crash immediately, but when I try to save the new PDF file it crashes 😓

    Quite Imposing: De-Imposing a booklet?

    no worries... I thought the same thing when I started going down this rabbit hole. considering we have hundreds of documents that are in our archive already in printer spreads, not including the documents we get new like this nearly every day... we really need a one size fits all solution. I...

    Quite Imposing: De-Imposing a booklet?

    as already stated, to use "shuffle pages" would require creating a program for ever possible combinations of pages, from 4 pages to 100 pages, would require 25 different programs.

    Quite Imposing: De-Imposing a booklet?

    that only works with reader spreads edit... correction, it would almost work except the 2nd half of the document the pages would be in the reverse order

    Quite Imposing: De-Imposing a booklet?

    OK, I did get it to work by creating an Action under "Action Wizard"... when I run it, it works, then immediately crashes Acrobat **sigh**

    Quite Imposing: De-Imposing a booklet?

    I've actually never used Javascript in Acrobat... and I've been using Acrobat Pro for decades at this point LOL I have Javascript enabled now, and I've even tried restarting the application, but nothing happens when I paste it into the console and try to run it... nothing... not even a...

    Quite Imposing: De-Imposing a booklet?

    in this particular case, a 15-20yo PDF from our archives. most other cases the file is supplied to us as an imposed/printer-spread file... even worse, often Canva files. Our customers are about as dumb as rocks and going back to them for single pages is often an exercise in futility. Edit...

    Quite Imposing: De-Imposing a booklet?

    I've done the InDesign thing numerous times as well, and YES, tedious... LOL! good tip on saving the file and just re-linking a new file! it just seems like there should be some way to do it in Quite, I just can't put my finger on what I'm missing...

    Quite Imposing: De-Imposing a booklet?

    This one is bugging me, I can see the pattern, but I can't seem to de-construct a traditional saddle stitch booklet using a single Quite Imposing automation. a 100 page booklet, in printer spreads: 100-1, 2-99, 98-3, 4-97.... "Tile" the pages 2x1... then "manually" de-shuffle the pages? I can...

    PrePress software recommendations

    We are kind of partial toward the application Canon (originally Oce) Prisma Prepare, it comes as part of purchase/lease of any Canon device that uses a Prisma Sync controller. Prepare is a WYSIWYG interface originally designed to work with Prisma Sync controllers on Oce digital presses...

    scanner for prepress artwork

    Most of the time we get away with using our office MFP, capable of scanning/copying up to 12x18 off the glass. I've only used our 14x20 flatbed once in the last 4-5 years.

    B/W printer recommendations plz

    I love our Canon VP140. Though I don't know if it can maintain a registration of 1/64th of an inch, .015625in, or .4mm? I don't personally know of a machine that says it can hold registration tighter than 1mm or .04in. Some claim that with "active" this or that they can maintain .5mm, but I...

    CMYK Colour Confusion - Adobe Output Preview

    Adobe made changes to Acrobat Pro some time early in the DC lifespan. Which causes color shifts in output, specifically output of vector artwork not matching input vector artwork. The ONLY solution we have found to date is to turn off Adobe ICM. Specifically when printing to a Postscript...

    Easiest way to fix broken/corrupt/weird PDFs?

    I think I've used that "word"/"term" ever since the creation of "autodetection" of devices in Windows 95? LOL

    Hand-Held Scoring Device

    I've done this before as a home/hobby project, when I used to make paper models using cover stock.... a straightedge and a butter knife ;)

    Easiest way to fix broken/corrupt/weird PDFs?

    late to the party... I've had good luck with fixing "broken" or improperly created PDFs by running them through Ghostscript (a free opensource utility). As long at the basic structure is there and you can at the very least open the file. gswin64 -dBATCH -dNOPAUS -o "outputfilename.pdf"...
