    SoftProof

    Would anyone have a Pitstop action to use in a Nexus workflow that closely resembles the "Reduce File Size" that is built in Acrobat? The "Make UltraThin Proof" that Enfocus supplies is very rough compared to the "Reduce File Size" in Acrobat. Thanks in advance

    EPS ripping gray (not grayscale)-INDD

    Normally we save a layered .tif file as a EPS or PDF to preserve the vector data of text from photoshop. The placed HiRez looks gray, (not as a grayscale) when placed in INDD CS2, or CS3.
