I have had so many conversations in my head of what I would say.  ;D

I think I will say something but I'm going to wait till after this job
It's the salesman that cannot say no to this customer.

One of the conversations was asking for a raise for this.
seriously the stuff I do is worth more $$$

Thanks! Not really what I wanted to hear ;D , but good to know what others do.

Yeah it's not even a really big one, 150 but this customer is a bit out of control
with their demands/hot jobs.

Joe is so lucky

The Rest... / Bad Data Files
Today at 12:37:14 PM
I'm starting to get upset over the Bad data files they allow to come in
I feel like the customer needs to send good files or at least
files that don't need extensive fixing.
just wondering what others do, as I really don't want the intensity of this type of work.

today I had one that had paragraph returns, I fixed it but then they had another file
same company, for badges, the template that was created for the badges
has this big ol fat type for the Names and titles etc.. but the Title and company names are really long.
I have a feeling they are going to have me split the Titles/Names up.
this is so tedious, and it gives me a headache.

If others are doing this, I will suck it up, but I have a feeling most people
kick this sort of thing back.

so the advanced search in acro isn't good enough?
Know it's a lot of work but you can find what pages search names are on.
#7
what are the sizes of the files?
for us it happens to 18x12 (Landscape)
and not to the 12x18 (Portrait)
maybe make a log of the sizes/orientation that it's happening to
and you might find a pattern

In our fiery when dragged in, It is using pdf print engine
when printing to it, it is post script
might want to check that out.
but easy fix is to create a workflow that flips the page when needed
#9
Yeah that happens to me too when I Print to the que an 18x12
when dragged into the que it's correct somehow the Printing to que 12x18 is fine.
I think Digi was referring to that
But I'm not working with an indigo

that's a lot of math, the different quantities makes it harder, you may have to round up to make it work.
what I do when I have different quantities of something
Lets say I have something for 100, 200, 300
I need 1 of 100, 2 of 200 and 3 of 300
this is an easy example but I don't think there is an easy answer
if so that would be interesting,
with the different quantities head explosion is understandable  ;D
I actually agree with Scott!

I was using google chrome remote when I was working from home
the visual was not very good, so I do the work on my home computer
and was just using the remote to transfer files and emails etc..
