I get a lot of RGB images from clients and have noticed that Photoshop seems to do the best job of converting them but that means opening each image one at a time, is there a global way in Pitstop to implement the conversion that Photoshop uses?

Ok, here is a poser that I need help with. I have a 2 page flyer which is 4C on one side and 5C on the other. I use Prinergy EVO 5.1.6 and refine to single pages. Everything works fine through our regular workflow but there is an issue when we try to create combined pdfs to send to clients. I...

Does anyone have a solution to print a pdf document in reverse order? It used to be so simple but now the printer have changed in the latest Mac OS X's and the function doesn't work anymore. I need to create a ps file or pdf that has the pages in reverse order for a flip book. Any help would...

I am looking into a new RIP solution and am asking for opinions on which is best. I have been using Prinergy EVO 3.1.6.6 for years and it is outdated and now I have approval to look into newer solutions. I have gotten a demo on RAMpage and like some of it but am also considering just upgrading...

I am looking for the best method for archiving files. I have been using DVD's but have had a couple go bad, and added Hard drives as extra back-up but recently had 2 different drives go bad as well. Both were WD drives set up to mirror in order to ensure safety of data and one of them failed...

I have grayscale images that come out 4 color gray out of InDesign. I am using Snow Leopard, CS5, etc. I have checked the image and it is a Photoshop grayscale eps on top of a spot color screen area. I am running it as a 2 color job, the spot and black, but InDesign is converting it to 4 color...

I am seeking suggestions on what are the choices available for taking customers files to plate and which is considered the best solution. We are currently using Prinergy Evo, but it is an older version (3.1.6.6) and we need to upgrade. The real question is do we upgrade to Prinergy 6 or do we...

I seem to have some issues when pasting objects from one pdf to another. When I try to position the item I run into a situation where it won't let me move the item into place, kind of like a stay away is preventing it from going where I want it. It will jump way out of position. If I use an...

I have been working with some pdfs provided by clients and noticed that the pages can change by themselves. I have taken the files and exported as ps to RIP with Prinergy and have had lines of type disappear on the fly. I have had similar results by just saving the pdf with a new name. I think...

I am using Preps 5.3.1 with Prinergy EVO 3.1.6.6 and it has developed a problem with pdf's that have been corrected. It used to work fine but lately, if a page is corrected using Acrobat or PitStop, it won't allow me to replace the corrected page, it rejects it saying that it can't read the new...

Has anyone experienced Acrobat 9 being incredibly slow to open files? I opened the same pdf in Acrobat 8 and 9 and in Vs. 8 it opened in 3.3 seconds while in Vs. 9 it took over 3 minutes and wasn't completely previewing when it was done. Any theories would really be appreciated. Meanwhile I...

Does anybody know how to output colors from a Framemaker file? I have a customer that is using Framemaker 7 and they want to output a 2 color job. I have Framemaker 8 and I have tried to get it to work but what I get is a 5 color output. I do get a spot color on Illustrator images placed in the...

What is the best way to save a pdf to insure that it looks the same on all systems? I have to send pdf proofs to clients of files Ripped on a Prinergy EVO system, then combined through Acrobat into a small-as-possible pdf to send to the client. But sometimes the pdf previews incorrectly and the...

I have to set up a Dual monitor system for proofing files and the Mac I have to use is an older Power Mac G4 with 2 monitor ports - a DVI port, which is fine, and an ADC port, which is a problem. I will be using 2 22" or 24" LCD displays, side by side and they will most likely be DVI and VGA...

I have a 36 page file where the first 2 and last 2 pages are the cover. I typically pull those pages out and create a separate file for the cover to incorporate the spine. The remaining pages are saved as the text file. But I discovered that when I remove the first 2 pages, elements throughout...

I hope someone can explain this problem to me. I have been using Pitstop Pro Vs. 7.5 with Acrobat 8.1.1 for quite some time now and it has been pretty reliable for the most part. But now I can't seem to get the items to move smoothly, they tend to jump all over the place when I nudge them as if...

I am looking for a document scanner to process hard copy pages in preparation for printing. We use a Prinergy EVO workflow with Preps and occasionally receive lasers from our clients and need a way to convert them to pdf's for layout. Can anyone recommend a good scanner to fit our needs, usually...

Ever since I installed CS3 on my Intel Mac, OS10.4.1, I have been having problems opening files in Illustrator. They tend to take an enormous amount of time to open, if they open at all. I can take the same file and open it on my older Mac with CS2 but on my Intel Mac this problem persists. Any...

I have a pdf file that I have placed into an InDesign Cover template, which I have done a thousand times in the past. But when I create a ps file and RIP it, either thru Preview, Distiller or Prinergy, I get some areas where the fonts get all blown out of proportion, either they get bigger and...
