Can't recommend this enough, cost per month is less than a...

    Amazing! Downloaded the serif trial, not really expecting that to work (no offence) :-) - But absolutely amazed that works! Took a little while to figure out how to export just the images, but thats really intuitive - Serif has come a long way!! Made my week, thanks a bunch. Tim

    Any ideas? (extract images from PDF, run image enhancements, then replace back into PDF)

    Thats a great idea! Unfortunately, can't select the image, using that tool in Acrobat Pro, the image is under a mask. Got me thinking though, I wonder if there is a way to lock a layer in acrobat, to allow the layer underneath to be selected? Thanks regardless, i'll have a play, see whats...

    Magnetic Material on Nexpress

    Hi All. Years ago, I used to run sheets on a Nexpress, it had a magnetic backing that was 'magnetised' after printing. I used to run a little roller up and down the back of the sheet.
