I submitted just one page just so you all could see what was happening. The error occurs when you change the full document, which is about 35 Mb. I have since converted the document using various standard profiles, and they all produced the same result except for Eurostandard Uncoated which...

For conversion I use our own ICC-profile for uncoated stock, set to relative.

I have received a pdf made in Quark 9.3.It is to be printed on uncoated paper so I have to take down the total ink coverage to acceptable levels. I do this using Color Convert in Acrobat (10.1.9), it is an operation I do several times per day and has been doing for years without problems, but of...

I was not involved in the creation of this job. All I got was a pdf. This is actually very typical of the type of jobs we get. With PitStop you can, sort of, replay the (mis)steps leading up to the mess I get to try to sort out. This should of course be printed as 100% black but since it was...

I guess your Swedish might not be quite up to date so here´s a crude translation of at least the main sections: Filled pathway: Picture: Colorspace: Indexed Device RGB Picture attributes: Size, bits/pixel, filter Overprint: False OPM and the same for next picture.

I should say this is Acrobat X and PitStop Pro 10, update 2

Actually the text is made in Illustrator and converted to objects. So this is what it looks like with the Inspector part of the screen shoot

I have attached a screenshot showing what happens. I guess it has something to do with "Simulation Profile" (direct translation from the Swedish menu) but I´d like to get an objective reading. What values do the objects in the picture hav?. Which one should I trust?

If I measure the color values in a picture I get results that differ if I measure in Acrobat or in PitStop. This must have been discussed before but I couldn´t find it so... Which one to trust and I´d like an explanation of what´s happening as well

The document contains a Pantone colour, an RGB picture and the shadow and text in CMYK. That seems like a fairly toxic brew to me. We separate RGB files to CMYK before we put it in XMF and when I did that the drop shadow came out as it should, smooth and nice. But when I used your unmodified...

By snappier I meant that the programme is responding quicker than before. And no crashes as of yet. Also we´ve printed a couple of magazines that are littered with drop shadows without any of the problems you describe. There are new versions of of the Adobe RIP (APPE 2.0 patch 7), PitStop...

We got it a few days ago and it definitely is a good upgrade. Even on my old G5 it feels appreciably snappier. We don´t use the 3D proofer so it´s not a big thing for us, but the improvments in the imposition module are very good. You can tick a box and XMF won´t expose plates that doesn´t...

Which machines are you using? We´ve just installed on some G5s and some IntelMacs and we have crashes, maybe once a day, with the G5s. IntelMacs haven´t crashed yet.

XMF and "known problem" XMF and "known problem" I spoke to a techrep who says they had huge problems with client crashing unexpectedly with version 1.5. Local distributor would not even install XMF during the fall untill this was fixed. Which it reportedly is in version 2, we will soon...

This is en excerpt from an abstract on a study done here in Sweden about outsourcing IT: Many corporations turn to IT-outsourcing to focus more on their core competence or to cut the IT-budget. There is one caveat, the costs presented at a first glance does not always present the entire truth...

Yes, please start an XMF forum Yes, please start an XMF forum We also start using XMF in a couple of weeks so we´d be very much interrested in get a forum running. What seems to be particularly interresting about XMF is that it attracts operations which did not previously belong in the...
