Hi, as Matt mentioned: "Newer" versions of Acrobat Reader should automatically turn on overprint preview means Acrobat 9 and newer. For that reason I have quite a number of customer (Europe) that are rendering the PDF pages (simulating overprinting) to something like 144ppi images as...

Another thing you may want to consider: doing an ICC conversion of text from DeviceCMYK 0/0/0/100 to Grayscale does not result in 0% Gray (aka black). An ICC based conversion is more likely to result in 5% Gray (depending on the combination source/destination ICC profile). If you have the need...

mazengh, how much percent did you have to compensate the ctp lineraisation/calibration curve until you hit the G7 target? Cheers Peter

I support ajr's thoughts. In a CS Workflow I can only encourage everyone to NOT USE EPS anymore. Saving as EPS has a lot of disadvantages. Flattening of Transparency is one of it. If a RIP can handle live transparency, the let the RIP handle it. PDF 1.5 is out since some years by now. The...

Hello Nicolas, There can be various problems with the font. Did you check the PDF against any PDF/X specifications? Tomorrow we have a meeting at the Ghent PDF Workgroup where we discuss futher specifications. Would be possible to get hold of the PDF? mail to pkleinheider [at] me [dot] com...

yespress, I very much recommend to use APPE. This technology renders the PDF directly instead of going via Postscript (what CPSI technology was doing). Advantages: -) almost no problems processing PDFs with live transparency - the transparency gets rendered in HighRes and output as...

Good morning, I do not want to start a discussion about the (non)sense of ICCbasedCMYK in print ready PDF files. The issue here is the presence of such CMYK profiles and the intention, that the CMYK values should be used for output as such, without any alteration. The correct way to do is...

Good evening Larry, what is the size of the PDFs? I'd try to make a setting for you to use with callas pdfToolbox 4 (Demo) to give it a try. Regards, Peter

To make a long answer short: Legacy files should be delivered to PDF/X-1a standard (no matter if 2001 or 2003) - best follow the GWG guidelines to be found at Ghent PDF Workgroup | Home | Free Tools For Print & Production Workflows Built For You If you have up to date equipment including a...

Good morning printonline, I do not know if you have yet found a solution for your request, but let me point out that a lot of german Web2Print portals are using our technology (www.callassoftware.com). It is easily to be integrated via a CLI, available for OS X, Windows, Linux and Solaris. We...

Quark is still back-converting to PS. This you see when you place a PDF with live transparency - they are all flattened (resolution depending on your flattening setup of the used PDF export settings). Only transparencies created in the layout document itself are preserved (assuming you use the...

CNewcomb DeviceN allow you to only define the colorants that are needed. E.g. if you have a tinted image in just yellow and black, you can have a monochrome image in a PDF that is just defined in DeviceN - Yellow and Black. On the other hand if you'd define a graph to be printed in...

Gregg, What you did is perfect. But it still depend on the used flattening mechanism, if still the complete text gets outlined. If you do the flattening during the PDF export and Flattener Preview showed tho whole text to be outlined, than the result is as you designed and wanted it Yes...

Bill, could Matt solve the issue? I would also be interested in the file. In Acrobat 9 you already find Preflight Profiles according the just released GWG 1v4 specification. I'd like to run your file against this profile. If you are interested, please send file to p.kleinheider @...

Good morning ecarbone, please also have a look at pdfToolbox 4 from callas software (www.callassoftware com). We did quite some research until we cam out with a font embedding feature. It took us some time. This had to do with the fact that we wanted to make sure a user does not run into...

Daniel, MadeToprint from axaio (www.axaio.com) should be able to process as you requested. I only know the InDesign Version that is capable to process all documents of a given folder. For this you do not need the Auto-Version, that is also available but out of your budget range as I judge from...

Re: Acrobat 8.1.2 (Mac) Preflight Bill, can you send the preflight profile. peter [at] callassoftware.com Regards Peter

Re: Flight Check Pro vs. Pit Stop? Jeremy, Acrobat professional comes with a complete PDF Preflight tool. This mean for preflighting PDF's, you do not necessarily need any other products. Since Pitstop and Flightcheck (which is the only stand alone program to check native file formats) are...

Re: Transparency Print Issues Michael, a lot has already been advised. Let me tell you how some of our customer handle transparency when going via a CPSI-Rip (converting PDF back to PS to render the bitmaps) 1) keep the transparency live in delivered PDF's 2) advice the PDF creator to place...

Re: Quark 7 Color Management Issue Barry, looks like the setting you have gotten performs a CMYK to CMYK conversion. If you designed everything in CMYK, "As is" is the option you want to use. Regards, Peter
