And also here are the simplify results.

First off thank you everyone for your help thus far. Unfortunately, as you may have guessed, due to InfoSec/customer file retention policies I can not share this file. See the attached result from Pitstop:

To answer some questions, a single page file. Number of nodes in a path greater than 1000 = 95

So I have been unable to flatten, it crashes my Macbook Pro. I have also tried to open the file back up in AI and save out as a PDFX1, same issue. It is almost like there is a conflict with one transperancy layer that when either the APPE or Adobe goes to flatten that layer it locks up. I'm...

I have a customer provided PDFX4 with over 1200 vectors and a few hundred transparancy layers - don't ask. It is choking my APPE and it is running out of memory while trying to RIP it. In Caldera I can change the flattening behavior of the APPE to allow this thing to RIP however it is not...

Wonder if everyone is feeling the same as they did almost a year ago.

I just left one of the largest commercial printers in the world and my primary focus was supporting the production of dye-sublimated soft signage. The demand for this was coming mostly from the retail industry or clients with 500, 1000, 2000+ locations which needed quarterly signage shipped to...

Prepress is not my strongest suit but I have a question and I'm hoping someone can help me with. I need to create a simple droplet that will analyze the file for spot colors and if a spot color is present append the file name with _SPOT. Is that possible? I see the spot color check, and the...

PDF/VT is the universal format that I see taking the industry forward from here on out. I would stick with it. MailGuru might have some good insight on this.

Do you clearly define what you are giving them and do you select your vendors while considering their color management workflow? I would say that a print provider should only output what you give them, but it should be clear what you are providing. You and your print provider should have an...

No, this is not an option in Acrobat, someone might know if a trick through a fix-up or something but there isn't a simple curve adjustment. Can this happen at the RIP instead of in the file if everyone doesn't have access to pitstop?

Usually this can be corrected with a 2nd bias transfer voltage adjustment. Sorry it has been a little time since I was around one and forget how to get to the setting to adjust.

This sounds like a dangerous business decision for a not-so great printer. This is just a Ricoh, not a Heidelberg. Ricoh is a fine printer but I wouldn't expect someone to twist their business plan for one. What can a Ricoh do that a Xerox, Canon, KM can't that wouldn't require you to have to...

I would buy an Oregon Trail on 5.25 or SimCity on 3.5.

May I suggest this? Has 120 color channels so....pretty advanced.

The one that is on sale at Staples.

Nothing was more satisfying than the clicking noise of the 5.25 going into an Apple external drive.

Because when I suggested a $5,000-$7,000 solution to stitch, fold, trim your books you said that was way out of your budget. I didn't have a reference point as to what your budget is so I offered the cheapest solution which can be had for under $50.

I missed that, where did you say that? https://paperpro.com/inreach-25-long-reach-stapler-silver-black.html

Instead of having us guess why don't you tell us your budget? A $5,000-$7,000 booklet maker is pretty inexpensive. You can also buy a long reach stapler for $10.00 USD.
