Does anyone happen to have the original Creo Image Control Strip EPS files that they could send me? I'm specifically looking for the conventionally-screened horizontal version - ICS2.0AConH.eps. Thanks! joe

To expand on my earlier post, our experience with OPS [nearly a year] has been nothing short of horrible. The software is garbage, and the support is even worse. We've had several dozen serious failures of the core systems, and twice that many lesser concerns. We have support requests for...

STEER CLEAR of OPS. PM sent.

You're right - I think it would have to be ArtBox, which seems to be available for just this sort of application. But how to set it in InDesign, rather than in Acrobat?

Hey gang, Does anyone have information regarding setting the "other" PDF boxes [CropBox, ArtBox] in InDesign? What we're trying to do is export a single PDF with dual page sizes: one defined by Document Setup in ID as usual [TrimBox] for normal workflow, and a second, smaller, user-defined...

Brilliant! -joe

Content Aware Content Aware I was very happy the other day to be able to use Content Aware fill to bleed out an image that was clipped at the trim. It worked brilliantly. joe

Isn't there a way for ID to automatically generate new pages/text boxes as needed, or am I thinking of Quark?

I can certainly see both points of view: Al's right, from a geometric standpoint, it doesn't make any sense to have the Y value increase as the element moves down the page. But from a utility standpoint, I'm much more interested in the element's dimensional relationship to the top of the page...

We're on the verge of drawing up diagrams of different types of inline press configurations for use by prepress, so they [we] can follow the web through turnbars, inline imaging, inline finishing, etc, and by so doing determine during the layout phase which side should be top/bottom, whether...

HOO BOY! I knew it was only a matter of time until someone's fangs came out. :D

Can you be more specific on what you're trying to do? Just drawing a box, or tracing an existing element? Are your Illustrator [preferences] and document [document setup] Units both set to the same thing - inches, millimeters, etc?

The marks have got to be PDF for Metrix, with attending PNGs for preview. I wasn't real excited about migrating the entire library either, but in the end it turned out to be a good opportunity for some housecleaning. You need to tell Metrix the exact dimension of each mark, so wherever...

I don't know that it's possible to use old Preps layouts in Metrix. I know that marks won't translate, as the systems and file formats are different. It may be possible to export from Preps to something that Metrix can import, but what we found when we moved from Preps [Upfront] to Metrix was...

Perspective from the prepress side: We run an XL105 and Speedmasters. I assume you are talking only about perfecting jobs? We have a layout rule in place which dictates that every perfecting job for either of these presses must have at least three 0.25 clear zones for slowdown wheels, two of...

Thanks all for your responses. In a hurry, I neglected to mention that the problem shows up prior to rip, so what we've got is more of a Quark problem than a rip problem. We're aware of the layering "solutions" - I was hoping there might be a PDF setting, though it seems that upgrading to 8.1...

Geniuses- Does anyone have problems with Quark "fattening" copy that is adjacent to an image or drop shadow? We've had this issue for quite some time - we'll have copy set next to an object with a runaround, and when we export a PDF for Prinergy, the copy will appear bolder than copy in the...

Metrix Metrix Lithotechnics' Metrix will both "gang" different sized products and "optimize" layouts for different quantities of similar products; all you need to do is feed it the product list, press and sheet size. And though our shop hasn't yet been able to take advantage of it yet, yes it...

Imposed PDFs Imposed PDFs I'm probably not the best one to answer this, since we use Metrix to output JDFs to Prinergy, but Metrix will do what you described. You can create a product, assign a content file to it, impose the product to a press sheet, add marks, and dump the whole shootin'...
