There are a few issues here First, what do you mean by PDF 5/1.4. There is no such beast! We will assume PDF 1.4 which was the latest version of PDF supported by Acrobat 5. There is a tremendous difference between the Acrobat release number and the PDF version number. Similarly, there is no PDF...

It carefully analyzes the image and works exceptionally well. The code exists not only in PDF export/save from InDesign and Illustrator, but also in the Distiller in converting PostScript to PDF! - Dov

Whereas I would agree with you wrt/ how inexpensive disk space is and per my posting wrt/ resampling I would avoid cascading rounds of decompression, downsampling, recompression - especially with JPEG, JPEG compression at maximum quality is generally not a problem for photographic types of...

Really not a good idea! Better you should examine the PDF file in Acrobat Pro and if appropriate downsample the images if those really have excessive resolution. However, it makes very little sense and can actually be harmful to quality to do multiple rounds of image downsampling. Each time you...

Amen to that! :rolleyes: - Dov

You certainly should not place the PDF back into InDesign and use different PDF export settings. Re-export the original InDesign document! - Dov

Quite frankly, a print publishing workflow based on PDF 1.3 (typically used by PDF/X-1a) is close to a dozen years out of date. Modern PDF print publishing workflows are based on PDF/X-4 (itself based on PDF 1.6) using ICC color management with live transparency. ICC color-managed RGB is...

There are two different methods of licensing Acrobat. If you purchase a perpetual license (i.e., not a subscription), you currently get Acrobat 2017. If you purchase a subscription, you get Acrobat DC. With Acrobat 2017 or its predecessor Acrobat 2015, the features that are in the program when...

Sorry to hear that. I then assume you don't have the latest version of Fusion Pro either?!? I can't imagine that their product is not updated enough yet to work with either Acrobat Pro 2017 or Acrobat Pro DC. - Dov

What platform are you on? Windows or Mac? They do license Acrobat 2017, the replacement for Acrobat 2015, for both Windows and MacOS with perpetual license as well as Acrobat DC as subscription. It is highly unlikely that your copy of Fusion Pro would not work with Acrobat 2017 if it worked with...

Actually, to be legally correct, you never could “buy” Acrobat 11 itself, but rather, you could “license” Acrobat 11! ;) Adobe no longer licenses Acrobat 11; nor do any Authorized Adobe Resellers offer Acrobat 11 anymore! In fact, Acrobat 11 is no longer supported in any way by Adobe. With the...

Doesn't mean that it was “killed” unless you have an awfully strange definition of “killed” … - Dov

Hopefully you have reported this to Kodak. When you say “web font” what you are really saying in this context is TrueType fonts. It sounds like Prinergy may have problems with its proprietary trapping and the hinting in some TrueType fonts. - Dov

Assuming that the trapping irregularity appears only when you pass it through the Prinergy code (correct?), maybe the best thing to do is to contact Kodak Support as see what analysis they can do with this. The problem may be with the TrueType hinting in the font itself, the Prinergy software...

I'd be exceptionally cautious about the use of the GWG tests for this purpose, especially given that the GWG (Ghent Workgroup) tests are more about properly handling the PDF graphic elements per the PDF language specification as opposed to the quality / aesthetics of the color profiles and color...

Who told you that Adobe is “killing PostScript?” Adobe never announced an “end-of-life” for the Adobe PostScript 3” OEM printer products or support for PostScript and/or EPS as either input or output of its major products. And yes, many but not all production printers do offer a PostScript...

Please read my response to the same question earlier in this thread! - Dov

Yes, PDF 2.0 will be supported for both creation and placement as will PDF/X-6 (currently under development). Some applications will hopefully also support generation of PDF that is both PDF/X-6 and PDF/A-4 compliant (and so tagged)! A few points to note. The ISO TC171 group responsible for...

It would be prudent to assume that support for ISO 19593-1 in Illustrator and InDesign will be supplied solely via very specialized third party plug-ins for Illustrator and InDesign. - Dov

Yes, this is what does in fact work; I actually tried that before posting my response above. ;) You can modify it to allow printing as well as extraction. - Dov
