Will PDF-Robot work with our Agfa Apogee CTP Workflow?

Hi, I work in a pre-press studio which runs a pdf workflow. We use an Agfa CTP system (Apogee Series 3) where we postscript straight from Quark into a Apogee Normaliser which flightchecks the postscript files, adds any actions (we have programmed some master actions ie.-knockout white etc,) and creates the pdf's for us to impose etc. This system works ok but it struggles with DCS2.0 files, we are not able to send composite files down which in turn would create a composite pdf, so we have to create separated pdf's which visually only show the last plate (no good for proofing to the customer) and also it creates images on any blank colour spaces.

I have also updated to OSX Panther and running Quark 6.5 and any spot colour vignette in quark converts to CMYK through our current system. Could we create hi-res pdf's to use in our current Agfa workflow using PDF-X-Robot, and would PDF-X-Robot solve the problems I have mentioned above? Do you know of . . .

How to check, repair acrobat pdf files, PMS spot colors?

Even though my pdf files made with PDF-Robot are great, I have so much clean up on the files others are sending me. I am getting so many PDF files in as supplied ads that are poorly prepared. Everyone wants to send PDF files now but nobody knows how to send a good one.

Is there a way to repair the PMS spot colors that are used in an advertisers pdf file. We are regularly getting acrobat pdf files from ad agencies that have too many pms spot colors or should be all CMYK. I am looking for different ways to globally convert spot colors in an adobe acrobat pdf file to CMYK without using enfocus pitstop. Is there a way to do this without enfocus pitstop?

PDF Viewer with pluPDF Viewer with plugin support (other than adobe acrobat)

PDF Viewer with plugin support (other than adobe acrobat)

Hi, I am looking for some pdf viewer which supports customized plug-ins (to extract metadata from PDF doc) other than acrobat. I have modified the text annotation by changing the sub-type name from 'text' to my custom name.

In the title of this annotation I store my metadata (e.g. the row id of some table in oracle). I have written a plugin to handle this custom annotation, to extract this metadata and pass it to the calling application (actually, acrobat is embedded in this calling application).

I need a PDF viewer which can support my plug-in. also, let me know if there are available viewers which can provide plug-ins to do a similar work.

Font Types and Why So Many, dFonts, OpenType, TrueType

I would like to see Adobe embrace the dFont format. i am so weary of all these font types with OS X, and it's getting worse by the day. Why does Adobe have to try and screw up font management again. First they came up with that damn type 1 font that required two separate font components IN SAME FOLDER. Did they ever consider engineering that to be a single file? No, they created a monster for us to deal with for years and years.

For years Adobe was making sure that Mac OS True Type fonts were not going to work right in Adobe Rips. True Type was always a better model for sure in that it DID NOT require two separate font components to work (Like screen AND printer font). Now we are over ten years down the road and every modern font model DOES NOT require two font components like Adobe's type 1 fonts do. Wht can't they just sell their damn fonts under dFont and make our lives easier. . . Like we all need ANOTHER font format out here to deal with.

Acrobat - Great product, support! Need help with font problem

Great product, support! Need help with font problem. .

I've been using PDF Robot for our magazines since january '03 and I think it's fantastic. And I certainly can't forget about the technical support. They've been able to guide me through the subtle nuances of the software. Now everything pretty much runs like clockwork.

However, I've been experiencing one recurring problem after our company switched print vendors several months ago. It has to do with fonts.

We'll create PDFs and print them without issue but when the PDFs reach our vendor they will encounter a font that either doesn't display correctly, won't print correctly, or the letters in a line of type are crowded or overlapped. We've tried to solve the problem by sharing our fonts with our vendor as well as adjusting tracking and kearning in the original Quark document. We had some success but we still continue to experience the same problem from time to time. Would anyone have any suggestions as to a permanent, effective solution? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
