Hello kaiserwilhelm, Do you have PitStop too? How about "Reorder Pages" using the Reverse pages setting and then select pages 1 & 2 ?

Hello , The main alternative would be Enfocus PitStop Pro. It's a plug in for Adobe Acrobat. Beyond that, it really depends on what features you are wanting.

Hello MacTwidget, We run flexo and sheet fed. We've just started sending PDF proofs that include trap and overprint (as it involves less steps for us) but it opens up the door to a world of pain. Here is a fairly recent post that touches on these issues...

How about changing supplier to someone who can do what you need? We seem to move our business every 18 months to get a better deal.

Yes - very true - it is an extra step but if there is no other way, that would work. It might even help pick up the objects that are sitting in the wrong layer too. I think the issue is the artwork is brought into InDD as a linked object in a picture box. when SmartStream outputs the imposed...

Thats a good point. At present we are imposing Illustrator Default PDF files. The SmartStream output is PDF/VT (so that PDF/X-4 ) When I get a moment, I'll try some other formats to see if layers are preserved.

Hello cdk95570, Well ...NO and YES. These AppleScripts are Mac only. They are written in what is like the Apple version of Microsoft Visual Basic. But! Adobe products often speak JavaScript too. So you might want to look at "renderSwatchLegend" for Illustrator - attached. This is by the...

That's me sold! I did the trial some years ago and liked it. Thanks Pressdork.

Hello Folks, For many years I have used the InDesign SmartStream plug in to do occasional impositions. The system usually handless all that but there are one off jobs and samples than still need sorting. My problem with SmartStream is my output PDF will have all layers merged together. I need...

Hello folks, I've been using packzview for some time. I love it and I strongly recommend it to internal users where Acrobat Pro is not an option. However, please be aware that you only get five licenses for each email domain name root so if you want a sixth user in your business then you will...

Hello Jonasukulore, You can create an app with Automator on your Mac to do this. I've attached an image of the workflow for you to copy. ------- We used to have a Client where we needed to work the same way as this. Hundreds of artworks uploaded each month but all usually containing the...

Hello Gregg, Have you approached Markzware themselves. They provide a conversion service in addition to the plug in. If they are unable to help you, they might be able to recommend someone. I've found them to be super helpful in the past. Alternatively you could try the QuarkXPress user group...

Yes, it can be done if you prep the numbers in excel first but believe me, you really, really don't want to bother with that.

I know what you mean but my colleague uses GMC Inspire Designer too and he had exactly the same issue. I dunno if GMC won't let you centre content or if the option is hidden away. Either way GMC users have to be specific with their bleed. I'm guessing the artwork being imported is variable...

Well there is ... https://specctr.com/cloud/home For PS, AI and InDD. Sadly I think it now a subsrciption ($79 a year). It's worth a free trial to see if it do what you need.

Yep . Team viewer .. I can access RIPs, presses, file servers all from anywhere with a good Internet connection. You can even transfer files to and from your computer. Works on PCs and Macs (including my old 2009 Mac book that runs a few apple scripts in the background.

Very true... And yet somehow we are still able to get an orchestra to play in tune. Music is no more real than colour . ​​​I do not believe we can achieve absolutely perfect colour consistency; Just as the strings in a piano are not perfectly in tune But it should be possible to achieve some...

Is there nothing in the knowledge zone on Print OS

I stock Semi Gloss and Matt papers for proofing with custom profiles for each. Is Matt paper an option for you? ​​

Haha . Me too My guess is that it must be similar to MarkzWears PDF2ID. You might get a mixture of objects. Centralised text becomes left aligned but with ragged edges to make it look centralised. I have a copy of Quark 2017 at the office. I might install it and have a look. That said we work...
