    Quark Xpress 2024 ver 20.02 font problem

    I am assuming that you and the publisher are using the same version of QXP? If so, are you both on the same platform (Mac? Windows?). It's been quite a while since I've had to use QuarkXPress so my memory is fuzzy. Could there be a Quark preference setting that is configured differently between...

    Detecting areas of fine detail

    Try the "Check for Complex Pages" action list. This...might...be what you're looking for? It doubt it will help with images but for vector content, it might. Best regards, pd

    CTP Plates ECO3 problem

    I agree with @maxon. If the problem were due to underexposure, you would be seeing the issue shown in the video in all non-image areas and not just on certain parts of the plate. Roller problem?

    Dealing With Canva Files and RGB vs. CMYK

    It's worth noting that Canva's 'flatten PDF' option converts the entire file (including text) into a single image.

    Why Mac?

    I use AppleScript quite a bit to automate desktop and InDesign tasks. Most, if not all of it, could probably be rebuilt in JavaScript or other language but I understand AppleScript way better than JavaScript.

    New Imposition Software Needed

    I also use Montax. It has a nice feature set (including hot folder capabilities) for under $600. One possible downside is that it is only available for Windows.

    Layout Software

    @abc - not everyone has a modern workflow which provides JDF/XML capabilities. For those who don't have such workflows, my idea doesn't add a step but rather speeds up the step of drawing layouts by hand. pd

    Layout Software

    I guess I am still not explaining well enough about what I am asking so again, I apologize for any confusion. What I am asking is NOT about how someone actually imposes a job using whatever software they have. My question is about how a job planner (or similar position) shows a prepress person...

    PDF/VT Random incomplete pages

    On those 13 pages, what didn't print correctly? Was the missing(?) content part of the static background or the variable part?

    Layout Software

    Hi SoggyWinter, My apologies for the confusion. What I am asking is, if you had an APP that you could open and with a few pieces of information, generate a layout that would show prepress how to impose the job you planned, what features would you want to see in it? Best regards, pd

    Layout Software

    Hi all, If software (used only by job planners) existed solely for the purpose of generating paper layouts (to show prepress folks how to impose a job), what features would you want to see? Be as detailed as possible. Thanks, pd
