Why doesn't Acrobat 9 understand that when I say any object of any color space, I also mean Spot colors?

I have a sort of general question. Our company typically publishes on newsprint. However, we have two monthly pubs that we are taking glossy. Both have a small pressrun of around 6,000 and are roughly 40 to 50 pages a month. We have only had previous glossy work printed on sheet-fed printers...

I am sick of PDF's opening at sizes other than the actual size. I can't find anything in preferences that will allow you to open PDF's at the actual size by default. I check the restore view settings so I don't have to do it everytime, but I want all new docs to open at 100%. I was thinking I...

My company is finally making the switch to InDesign, which is fantastic to say the least. However, there is one thing about InD that is driving me nuts and I have not heard anyone else raise this issue, which is making me think that I am missing something here. When I want to put my cursor on a...

I have a question for the publishers out there. What dummying system do you use? Currently we dummy ads manually. I know there are software solutions that streamline the process and will generate Quark or InDesign pages with the ads already on them. I am curious what other publishers are using...

Does anyone here know if there is a way to set up a pdf printer that will print a document and include a letterhead? I would think that someone has already made a ppd that will include a letterhead, but google is not turning up anything.

This is just a thought. I think that the "the lounge" forum should be on the main page. I go to the main page daily to check the latest posts and then click on my favorite categories to see if I missed anything, but I always forget about the lounge. Once every three months I remember and check...

I am either missing something here or Adobe color management fails. I get different color in Acrobat 8 than I do in any other CS3 app. For example, if I take a PDF that I am sure has no icc profile associated with it and open it in PS, Illy and Acrobat, I get the same color in PS and Illy, but...

I was hoping someone here could either encourage or discourage something I am trying to do. I attempted make photoshop droplets on our server to automate some of the repetitive tasks of toning photos. The only problem is that there must be stops to allow users to do things that require...

Ok, it seems I have been getting quite a few PDF's lately that are about a half an inch too small. I can scale the artwork in Acrobat, but, as far as I know there is no way to change the size of the bounding box. So, my usual procedure is to open the PDF in Ai and resize. However, when I don't...

Anyone use the stumbleupon plug-in for firefox? I selected desktop publishing, graphic design, photography and mac os as my interests. I found some really cool sites by using it. Dan R.

Ok, there were two Quark documents. The first and second half of a publication. I received both of them to make PDF's out of. I was printing these PDF's out of Quark 6.5 using Adobe PDF 8.0 print driver. Here is the problem: I went to check out the page I had just made in Acrobat and...

I can't seem to get a clear answer from the printer so I thought someone here might be able to help. We have a job being printed on a Heidelberg CD 74 F format and I am looking for an estimation of maximum shadow density and lowest printable highlight value. Also, would US Sheetfed coated v2 be...

I was just wondering what everyone here thought about the best time to convert to cmyk in photoshop. Do you guys, when working with an original RGB image, correct for color and tone first (using view proof colors) then convert or convert and then correct for color and tone? Also, do you prefer...

I have [read|http://www.colorwiki.com/wiki/Color_Management_Myths_21-25] (myth # 23) that changing your color settings in Photoshop (edit>color settings>custom cmyk) is not recommended because photoshop is not an icc profile editor. Can anyone tell me what is happening when you make...

I cannot figure out why this happenss. If someone submits a logo that is made up of a 4 color black, I take it into photoshop, assign a new profile that converts it to a solid black and save it as an EPS (profile embedded). If I distill the EPS it becomes a 4 color black. Distiler is set to...
