    NEW Adobe Terms of Use eBlast

    On a tangent, our Adobe Customer Success Manager keeps emailing us to try to get us to start a 'free' year of stock photos on the anniversary of our CC subscription. The recent email even said "I am sure you must have reviewed my last email." I guess there was tracking on the previous emails. We...

    Spooler / Print Server options

    I remember looking at this years ago. Seems to be a lot of potential here to combine a bunch of separate processes under one hood. And more flexible than the FreeFlow system. Thanks.

    Spooler / Print Server options

    I've been searching the internets and can't seem to find what used to be somewhat common. We are a mostly digital shop that uses both Postscript and PDF for printing to a number of devices. Most of these are Xerox B&W or colour presses with previous generations of UNIX FreeFlow. We recently got...

    Looking for crisp text printing less than 1pt

    When we used to do cheque printing (Canadian version of check, btw) the signature line was done as Microprint. Proofreading was fun. This used to be trademarked, but that seems to be no longer the case. Possibly using the MP on the line requires licensing now; not sure from who. This Wikipedia...

    I've cut the cord

    Canada has been all digital for a while. It didn't seem to be as big of news, because we changed a few years after the US. So, all the new TVs had tuners in them already previous to the change.

    I've cut the cord

    Almost everywhere people live in Canada, CBC can be picked up by antenna. You just need a TV with a digital tuner. We put up our Antenna in Toronto and get 15-20 channels, weather permitting. That and an Apple TV, Netflix and chrome extensions like Hola gives us access to almost everything we...

    Newbie Color Managment Question

    On our iGen and Colorpress printers we find truer reproduction when the Pantone colours are left as spots in the application or PDFs. Inside the RIP, the colours get reproduced using the lookup table for that printer. This uses the wider gamut available than the standard CMYK mixes, and can be a...

    It appears that someone has moved my PANTONE® 7405 C cheese.

    Glad PP is working. Terrorist took down Godaddy and all my websites and services!

    Just got an apology email from Go Daddy: We owe you a big apology for the intermittent service outages we experienced on September 10 that may have impacted your website, your email and other Go Daddy services. We let you down and we know it. We take our responsibilities – and the trust you...

    Glad PP is working. Terrorist took down Godaddy and all my websites and services!

    Can't we just judge this based on the public "face" of the two esteemed organizations: Random guys (usually) wearing Guy Fawkes masks or Go Daddy's latest Spokeperson (aka Go Daddy Girl)

    Glad PP is working. Terrorist took down Godaddy and all my websites and services!

    WSJ is reporting that GoDaddy caused the problem. Not hackers. GoDaddy: Service Outage Was Our Fault, Not Hacking - Digits - WSJ Possibly we can start blaming Anonymous any time something comes off a press and a typo is discovered.

    Universal Type Server

    So far so good... Testing continues So far so good... Testing continues We've loaded over 12,000 fonts between the Mac side and the Windows side, and so far only about 5 fonts pulled up lame. And they were Postscript fonts, anyway. So, no problems with Truetypes yet. There is a definite lack...

    Universal Type Server

    We just went into testing mode as suggested. We have a collection of fonts that dates back over ten years but we use for production every day. So, if UTS suddenly declares some fonts corrupt, we won't be able to use them. That's what I'm worried about. I'll report back what happens during...

    Universal Type Server

    About to start using UTS About to start using UTS I tried to scour the interwebs to get reasonable good information about Universal Type Server and was a bit distressed how little there was. But I did find a bit. Nowhere anyone mentioned not being able to load Truetype fonts. Just to be clear...

    Acrobat X Pro

    (5 != X and 10 != X) = Y (5 != X and 10 != X) = Y You'll have to keep waiting. According to our Adobe Sales Rep, Acrobat X will be bundled with CS6. So, if you want it before that, it's an additional upgrade even if you buy CS5 today. :confused: The Enfocus site still has no info on Acrobat...

    Font Agent setup problem

    I'm curious why you didn't just migrate from the old iBook to the new one. One of the remaining superior advantages of the Mac OS over Windows is how well the migration function works. In Windows you don't get your apps - on the Mac you do, along with all the settings. I even did it over the...

    Saw blade teeth around the perimeter of my image

    this thread seems to suggest problems with CS4 PDFs and Acrobat 8. What version are you using. Also, have you tried getting a version of the PDF with the fonts embedded, instead of outlined?
