    I found a video where the operator created several Saddle Stitch "Parts" in which he DID NOT assign any plates. He then created a last part WITH a Plate assigned to it. He then dragged over the folding schemes from Parts 1 and Part 2 into the plate Layout in Part 3. It worked in my job. FYI...

    Working with client supplied files and white ink

    If the fonts are not embedded in the pdf or contains only a subset of the font, you won't be able to make some corrections in Illustrator. The fonts will be missing. With Pitstop, you can do magic. I use it everyday. Worth its weight in gold.

    Fuji XMF Workflow

    We've been using XMF for a few months. If you make a new pdf for a few pages, how do you re-proof the signatures that are affected. All the pdf proofs to the Epson 9900 or HP Spjinjet are sent. You can't just send say 1F, 2B, 3F.
