Esko Artpro+ does it really well (maybe too much!)

Suppose you have some hairlines and you have to fix them: everything is fine since you can do it quickly in Acrobat too. Suppose those hairlines aren't lines but tiny rectangles (such as 'expanded' strokes): how do you preflight them? Can you? Suppose you have tiny vector objects - such as an...

that seemd a good solution! by the way, same story here! :( Anyway... I think is a matter of 'educating the client' but most of us - read it as: most of our sales guys - don't wanna bother clients by the risk of loosing them for such "sillinesses" as redoing the same prepress job many times.

A nice help from you fellow guys could be helping building a list of features Acrobat does better than other PDF Viewers - something like "Acrobat does it better!!" ...and Adobe should pay us for this! EG: - overprint preview: YES - transparency processing: YES - color handling: YES - ... Hints?

It's mostly for professionals, not for (dumb) clients: It works ALMOST well but it's too much for a client who cannot install Acrobat; see here: https://twitter.com/prepressstress/status/950751119717871617

Yeah, you're right. "Affordable" in the meaning of boss' language, which means "I want it free!" ;) Anyway, I started a thread about it some times ago: https://printplanet.com/forum/prepress-and-workflow/esko/272829-esko-webcenter-alternative Jokes apart, I personally was looking for a less...

Good software - sorry it's not what I call 'affordable' :(

I think you are surely right!!

I think I'm gonna follow this and attach a JPG with every PDF I send. This said, I'd like to put my thoughts into words about all the software houses which have not yet think about a solution to some common problems raised by many printer & repro houses (eg: overprint preview feature). Since...

What's the point of this statement? I'm sure you must be kidding. Am I suppose to give back to client the same file they provided me? If so, the same assertion could be made about color accuracy! FACTS ARE if clients are prepared enough to give us perfect ready-to-print files THEN there will be...

I know, i know... I'm sorry to say that our workflow doesn't output HQ raster PDFs - 'HQ' in my opinion - so I prefer to rely on vector PDF from native software and to not think about color accuracy. They are not meant for color proofing.

I'm glad you to be a believer ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mYBSayCsH0

Your suggestion is welcome! I'm sorry our workflow output PDFs not from raster TIFs, so we usually produce only unflattened PDF proofs.

Hi all, I'm having some issues with clients who don't use updated Acrobat to see our PDFs. They stick to Osx Preview, Foxit Reader, older Acrobats, and so on - but those software FIRSTLY lack of overprint preview. I've tried to force them, using passwords, watermarks, and so on... But they...

the one from which you pulled out those pics.

Could you kindly mention the source of that docs?

I found this too: https://www.graphicrepublik.com/en-GB/products/maxpro/maxcolor/

I did some tests and it seems to do a nice work removing CMYK channels on some kind of images (see CMYK sample: test.jpg.zip ) I'm gonna print something by sheet-fed offset to check the actual outcome. I sent a request to GMG asking how I can test a trial without a trial color server, but they...

Are you talking about this? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Voppi_YBHL8

Muchísimas gracias Ferran!
