Update: I figured out using preflight that the images at the back are all the same ppi and different to those at the front, so I was able to select them all using a rule in preflight and delete them in one pass. Next issue will be trying to reduce file size and sharpen up the text

So I've managed to get the top layer defined as a layer by using the fixup "Put transparent objects as layers", but I've not yet figured out how to quickly get rid of the image behind it, which is not defined as a layer.

Example below, thanks. https://ia801609.us.archive.org/34/items/laconfrenceint00inteuoft/laconfrenceint00inteuoft.pdf

So I have a pdf which is a scan of an old book. It does not use layers, but instead each page contains two images, one atop the other. The lowest is the background image of the page, and the highest is the scanned image of the text. If I have several books scanned in this way and I want to...

I'm in the same field and encounter this oh so often. Things which usually work for me: - re process it in distiller - convert all pages to CMYK image in acrobat preflight fixups - print it as a new pdf using "Microsoft Print to PDF" driver In my experience the issues with these types of...

Hi all, This feels like a really dumb question.. I need to print ten copies of a document, and I've been given a separate pdf with ten different personalised cover pages in it. I want to quickly print the documents with the cover pages in front of them, but I can't figure out how to automate...

Did a round of reboots yesterday, still not working, arrived this morning, all working fine Thanks all!

Very helpful thank you

Thanks. I'll give those a try. I've also just noticed that total flow prep thinks it's offline as well

Scratching my head a bit here E-47 fiery on a Ricoh c5310. No issues reported on the machine or in command workstation. Can use it completely as normal via command workstation on a windows 10 PC. The fiery printer driver on the same machine though reports that the machine has a door open and...

Thanks! Very helpful. No white toner here.

We've got some equipment and we'd like to put some corporate logo stickers onto them to make them easily identifiable as being our property. Probably 2x2cm in size, and probably on some kind of hard-wearing transparent substrate. I immediately thought I'll just contract it out to a sticker...

It may be a bit harsh, but is it unfair? Not sure. End of the day it's pretty shit they ended the contract early, but we're only talking four months early. I guess you had hoped to renew it?

Did EFI ever fix their printer drivers for Windows 11? Iirc a windows update broke them back in December 2022

Yea - but it's not like you can just build your own fiery is it?

Not meaning to be a dick but many of your posts on here are about problems with your equipment etc. It sounds like you need to find a better supplier and get a newer machine on a full service contract, and then focus on growth and business development instead of learning to service an obsolete...

It's not about evermap, the same issue applies if splitting via acrobat pro. The issue is that the document has hundreds of different documents combined together by someone with loads of different fonts used, and then when you need to split it, it is then trying to embed all of the fonts used...

I used evermap, which is absolutely awesome btw. Maybe there are other settings to avoid needing to outline fonts? This particular task probably gets done once or twice a year

Update - I just used preflight to convert fonts to outlines and then split it again. It split the entire file in about 10 seconds versus over 40 minutes.

I have a task where I need to split some large pdf's into separate files. Think 500 page document split into 300 files. I am splitting them based on bookmarks, but this is taking absolutely ages to process in acrobat pro on a beast of a PC, and I suspect it is due to document overhead and the...
