Odystar and Instant PDF

[CNewcomb]

Is anyone using Instant PDF to create certified PDFs to run in their Odystar system? Any problems using Instant PDF with Quark 6.5? I'm having many problems with Quark and Instant PDF working together. Any suggestions for a different way to create print ready "certified" PDFs for use in our workflow? I've all but given up on the way I do it now...

Thanks!

hey crystal,

Can you elaborate a little about the issues you have with Instant PDF? Can you give an example? Is it related to page boxes? Color? Fonts?

Cheers,

We print to postscript and use Distiller to create the pdf. We distill everything to PDFX-1/A Standards. We're not using Odystar though. We're using Nexus.

Hello--the problems I have I think are Quark related. Instant PDF "works" for me it just isn't consistent. The most common problems I'm having is Instant PDF having Quark temp files stuck in the in progress box and jobs failing in the quark export step. It isn't file specific either. Random.
