That's nothing, there's lots of greasy things you consider good enough for you.   

 

Wait, did I just read that right? Printing from a screenshot?

Quote from: Joe on August 07, 2018, 03:53:50 PMWell I've never tried flattening a PDF with comments...what does it do to them? Sure I could add some comments and flatten one to find out myself but I'm tired (and lazy).

This is why I wanted to see a sample of the file - the comments I add in Acrobat 10.1.16 are either little yellow sticky notes, or little blue things depending on how you add them - alternatively, I can use Content tool to add a text box but that prints without flattening. 

screen grabs attached.

Well I couldn't resist.

^ well we know who didn't read the rest of the thread.   

Quote from: AaronH on August 06, 2018, 01:12:38 PMHey everyone, I've got a strange one. The customer somehow did most of their text in a PDF for a Remit Envelope as comments. I didn't realize it until they looked at the proof and said, "Hey there is text missing!" Is there a way to turn them into actual artwork or do I have to typeset it?

Thanks!

Are you able to post a sample of the PDF? I'm intrigued by this and want to look at it..

Grammar makes a good impression.

ESL...

For my original post - I'm looking more for digital presses that can mimic (as close as possible) offset printing with regards to photo quality... as well as if there were any "tricks of the trade" to "enhance" the photo image in photoshop (possibly even by a script) that could be implemented into a workflow prior to shipping files off to the printer.

I will say that my boss hasn't brought this back up, but it's only a matter of time before she does.

I'm less worried about the software to do the variable image merging... I know there are viable options already available.

Our VPs and up, have been less than impressed with the photo quality of current digital printing presses.  (i.e.. everything looks grainy compared to offset)

I mean, I "get it" in theory to protect the "artist's rights"... but clearly none of the people in the EU voting on it have ever stepped foot into the internet. My guess is a shit ton of site owners such as yourself - pull together to peacefully protest until a players association signs off on a collective bargaining agreement.

Just a wild hunch.. 


Also - there is no new or unique thought left.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

Quote from: Joe on June 22, 2018, 12:57:13 PMWe have members here from the EU so if me, as a website owner, doesn't comply I can be fined.

Article 13 though is even worse as I would have to have filters in place to check every post against an online copyright database and if it came back with a copyright match the post would never get posted. So any post you make would not show up until it passed the test. Which theoretically could take hours.

I see.  Well that's just absolutely terrible.

Quote from: Joe on June 22, 2018, 12:10:22 PMThat is what they said about the EU GDPR that just went into effect May 25. I considered taking the forum down then but decided to ignore it and take my chances.

We're 'merican! How would the EU have say-so over anything we do? Are you using european servers for this site? 

No way that will ever pass.... 



Until it does.

Quote from: metlife on June 19, 2018, 03:41:22 AMunfortunately we have not been able to get any answer. I did not receive files from the settings that I asked for, nor did I get a project file for the PReS Connect application so that I could play with the output settings of the PDF files myself. From what we were able to find out, the Client has some support from Germany who is trying to help Them in the matter of these PDF files. Just wait until all of Europe is involved in helping this Client 

Shit in, shit out. It's all the new rage...  AND it's no longer just the American way.
