Hey prepressdork. Unfortunately I cannot because its a time sensitive financial report with private information from a banking institution. I think I may have a solution utilizing Acrobat's preflight panel: Convert to PDF/X-4 (Coated FOGRA39) Analyze and fix. I'll try it out this Friday. I was...

Printing from the driver

We are having issues with PDFs not ripping at our OCE presses. When checking properties (Windows machine) I've noticed the creator is Aspose. Did a little research and found out it's an online PDF creator. To some success I've used Pitstops Scrubber v2 to rip out some garbage and metadata and...

Unfortunately the issues persists after trying these suggestions. I guess a re-install is next.

Well we have quite a few. Going the Acrobat > File > Script route. These scripts direct the open PDF to various Pitstop server hot folders while coping files over to a repository library for future reprints. We use another one to add geometry to cover spreads and it adds metadata to the impo...

Yeah I'm thinking the phone home thing may be the culprit too.

Thanks prepressdork. I've done pretty much what you've mentioned and I'm thinking you maybe on the right path as far as scripts are concerned. We've added custom made scripts. Java and Sequences, picked up from an older version of Acrobat. So my next thing is to remove them and see what happens...

I have the latest Adobe Acrobat 2022.003.20281 and the latest Pitstop Pro 22 update1 installed on at least 9 users computers running Mac OS 11.7.1. Can't upgrade the OS because of other legacy apps. Most have experienced loosing their toolbar set after restarting both the application and/or...

We have an account on a PC and the files they send over never have embedded fonts and a few other issues. Although I'm not sure but most of the files are PDf's created out of Word or Excel. We postscript every job that way. Usually 20 pages or less financial reports and then distill them. Clears...

I appreciate this work around/fix. I'll give it a shot. Thanks mrserge.

Thank you abc. I'll give this a test later on today. As always I appreciate your help

Acrobat & Quite a Box of Tricks Color Settings on a PC We are a Mac shop (Digital Presses) with the exception of one major account and its on a PC. We use the latest version of Acrobat and Pitstop with an Acrobat plug-in called Quite a Box of Tricks. All the work comes in as RGB, usually...

We create files with a Media size of 8.75 x 11.25. Green Lines Trim size is 8.5 x 11 with a .125 Bleed all around. (8.75 x 11.25) Blue Lines We set the Art box .25 smaller than Trim Box for our “text safety” area. Red Lines Is there an action or check to see if there is any text falling in the...

I thought from only 2021 but I will check with the IT dept if they plan to do an install. I'm out today so I'll check back with them tomorrow. Thank you abc.

Thanks all for the help. I got an email from our programming guru and he came up with a Javascript to accomplish what the prepress team needed. I'll check into to it later.

I'm not sure how to get the PDF page count identified by half. I see where you are going with the multiple hot folders but I'm missing how to split it in half. Thank you for your input.

We get high page count PDFs (2400 pages as an example) that we have to save out as two PDFs, First PDF would contain pages 1-1200 and a second PDF containing pages 1201 -2400. I know there is an Acrobat tool under Organize Pages > Split that allows you to do this but you must enter an actual...

Thanks Joe. That seemed to do the trick. I must have used another method of rotation because the rotation was always incorrect but this worked. I appreciate your help.

Thanks John. Yes we use this action all the time and works as advertised. A customer sending in a couple hundred books, calendar style, has added pages that are v2's and they didn't realize that those pages, rotated, aren't honored by our RIPs and a few pages "flipped" while printing. They don't...

I didn't correctly state what I am looking to do. I want my pages in the document to be set as some landscaped and some portrait but with the rotation ket as 0 degrees. I can do this in Pitstop but I see no way to have the document with all pages being set as 0 degrees. Someone suggested saving...
