I am hoping someone can help answer a question for me. I have a VDP job that I am trying to print using Fiery Command Workstation 5. Here is my problem:
When I take the pdf, import it into the Fiery and go to >Job Properties, >VDP, I select "Create FreeForm Master". This is the common background pdf file the job uses, spot colors, transparency, etc. For this very reason, we want to uses the "Adobe Print Engine Prefferred" setting in the top left of the Job Properties window. In effect, the Adobe setting RIP's the job with much better color consistency and visual output.
The problem, is that if I select the Adobe setting and click print to make the FreeForm Master, it processes, goes into the "Printed" que, and when I right-click on it, and go back to Job Properties, the Adobe setting box is unchecked. It is as if it will simply not create a FreeForm Master using the Adobe RIP settings. In fact, even if I take the VDP PDF file, using the FreeForm master, and select the Adobe RIP setting, it will print it using the Fiery RIP settings, and do the exact same thing.
Has anyone had a similar issue where the Adobe RIP setting is checked when you go to print a VDP file, and between clicking print, the file printing, and the job going into the printed que it by it's own accord unchecks the Adobe RIP and prints and rips the file using the Fiery RIP?
