Short story: I have a set of PDFs with an INSANE amount of vector objects in them & they're failing at XMF. Badly. I haven't installed the latest Pitstop with the "Remove Unnecessary Objects" or whatever. Can somebody run these through & bounce me back some clean PDFs to try? There's 4 files, they're small enough to email or I can Dropbox 'em too.

Only other option is to rasterize them all, and that's just SO wrong. Gracias!

I'll be glad to give them a whirl but I won't be to work for another hour and a half. If no one has helped by then I will give it a try. Joe at b4print dot com.

I've got Pitstop Pro 13.2 and I don't see the action/global you're referring to, otherwise I'd help.

Maybe I'm thinking of the "PDF Geomapper technology" but I guess that only removes objects totally unnecessary to RIP. May be boned here.

Well bless that designers little heart for creating those 999 trillion vector lines! >:(

An action list has been processing for a while now. Will it get done today?

I'm thinking - not. It's a right bastard. I'm pulling them apart & rasterizing just the "wave" parts as best I can just in case.

Yeah it eventually locked up Acrobat. I was just going to suggest exactly what you are doing. Later this evening I am going to try putting them straight through Prinergy. I have to wait until everyone else is gone though since it will probably bring Prinergy down too.
