PDF/VT Suddenly not Working in CW...

[kdw75]

All of a sudden we can't print out our PDF/VT files from Command Workstation.

Here is our process:

1. Create VD postcards in Acrobat XI using FusionPro.
2. Drop them into Command Workstation and use it to impose them 8 up on a 13x19 sheet.
3. Print them to our Xerox Versant 2100.

We have done that without problems, until a few days ago. Now when we try to do it we get the 8 up postcards cropped to 8.5x11 on our 13x19 sheets. If we export to a PDF instead, then it works fine.

Any thoughts on what might cause this? I don't know if it is a printer problem, a RIP problem, or a software problem with Acrobat or FusionPRO.

I wanted to add that the problem shows up when I preview it in CW, so that rules out the printer itself.

We've had some weird PDF/VT issues as well with Fusion Pro and CW. We switched to Single File VPS and all is well again. The only thing that sucks is transparencies in the files. Although the last trans. error FP gave us ripped fine. We don't impose VDP in CW, we let FP do that.

Well, I took the time to do some troubleshooting. The same exact file works just fine when run to our C75 with the external Fiery. So I am thinking it is a problem with the Versant RIP.
