Here's another ground-breaking Apple product (one instance of mild profanity): Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

Printing to the printer "Adobe PDF..." uses the same process as Distiller (I tested this once and got two files that were exactly identical except for the time created field). Exporting, however, makes use of Postscript and non-Postscript, "native" PDF language elements (transparency being the...

Are you referring to trapping of rasterized text, or vector-based clipping text? Our RIP uses Adobe's APPE, and I am unable to trap clipping text edges. Since the clipping text is not really the edge of anything but instead a mask that reveals an image, I wouldn't expect any trapping process to...

Add a spot channel for the shadows. Just be sure to not name it "Black" or "Process Black," because Indesign interprets these as being process black instead of a spot ink (useful for duotones), and won't place the file. The special names are case-sensitive, so you could name the ink "black."...

Use GCR with maximum black generation. That should make your default black black-ink-only. You probably wouldn't want to use such a profile for converting photographic images.

Text from Photoshop saved as a PDF isn't exactly vector. Without any effects, it is encoded as an image as large as necessary to fill the text area with all of the pixels the color of the text, then that image is clipped by a text clipping frame. As far as sharpness goes, it's just as good as...

You can't really set a monitor to have an L value. Paper can have an L value because you can measure how much light it reflects (with 100 being perfect reflection). A monitor is emitting light, and L values of particular colors are relative to its maximum "white," which is always 100, regardless...

If they have an accurate color profile for their monitor assigned/loaded, then they should see fairly accurate results if what you are sending is assigned an accurate output profile (e.g., by assigning an output intent to a PDF). If they do not have an accurate profile, they should either get...

Try copying all of the files to a local directory, then point your client there and see if it works. This obviously isn't how you want to get things done, but it would divide the problem.

If the problematic services are registered with Windows, you should see them in the services list when you run "services.msc" from Start>Run. If they're in there, you can edit their parameters. In the recovery tab, you can tell Windows to automatically restart them if they fail. This wouldn't...

Try rotating the image 90 degrees in different places, like in the PDF document supplied to the RIP, then in the RIP, etc. to see when the axis that shrinks changes. Could is simply be the paper shrinking from the heat of the machine? Try printing the same thing on a light stock then a heavy...

If your client program is accessing the share by a more direct means than using the OS mounted volume, I would expect that you would see multiple sessions active on the server - although I can't think of any software that does this so I haven't actually seen that behavior. There are security...

If you can access everything okay with Finder, it sounds like the client software may be establishing a connection using its own means independent of your local file system. If you can point the client to a local directory instead of a remote server with an IP address, try using /Volumes/<share...

Based on "string index out of range," I would check if there's something about the name of the share or server it doesn't like (length of the name, unconventional characters, space at the end, etc.). What operating system and subversion/service pack no. is running on the machine serving the...

The only way to preserve the borders AND the cross-overs AND not adjust the relative position of different elements on the page (by moving images within their clipping frames and moving objects closer to each other) is to disproportionally reduce the pages from spread center in the X axis only...

If you open the problematic PDF's with a text editor, you'll likely find the string "map_reserved_ink_name" in them. If so, you should be able to test the effect of different parameters without having to RIP the files.

You can't translate a color temperature into lab because lab values are relative to the illuminant. The reference illuminant is 100/0/0 in lab. Color temperature is also an extreme simplification of a color. You can have completely different colors translate to the same color temperature with...

By default, when you create the merged document, it should use all records. You can select a subset of the records, however, in the dialog that appears. If it works, you will get a 145,985 page document. You may have to break that up into smaller groups. Try putting everything except for the...

You should have a 15 page document set up for a single record, with the name and address fields inserted multiple times (once each on the first 14 pages). When you create the merged document, you should get a document that is [total records] X 15 pages. If you are asking about having landscape...

map_reserved_ink_name is a Postscript function that is saved in EPS files by Illustrator (it may occur in other files also). It sounds like the RIP's CPSI (Postscript interpreter) is being asked to call a function that has not been defined yet. Have you changed any parameters on the RIP...
