And I noticed the pineapple in their logo, did you try "anything" else?

I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about 

My god that looks delicious. I'm 75 hours through a 100 hour fast. Somehow cooking and seeing and smelling food helps me get through it. I think my brain is being tricked into thinking I'm eating...it's not too smart.

Talk about winning the lottery, today the California Beer Distributor's Association held an event for all State workers. Show them your badge to get admission.

Free tacos, beer and chips and salsa.

Yup. You heard that right - free tacos and beer! I had 4 tacos... one steak, one chicken, one BBQ pork and one vegetarian. They had onions and cilantro and guacamole and salsa and a variety of hot sauces. Catered by Chando's Tacos. I had a Brewery X Citra Loves Nelson IPA.

For reference, Chando competed on Food Network's Chopped show, so we're talking serious quality eats.

You know you're right!

The first thing I would do on your way home is to stop and buy some lottery tickets. It is your day!

I would never trust the Acrobat Edit PDF function. Never trusted it.

I know your pain. When I was at Dome and used Prinergy, Prinergy NEVER saw any corrections done with the Edit PDF features, but Prinergy DID see corrections done with PitStop. However, at PIP (and here) we don't have a true RIP per se (CWS at PIP, Prisma here), so it does see the corrections.

Oddly, you can mess with page geometry on a PDF here and if you print directly to PrismaSync it will be fine, but if you impose it through PrismaPrepare, then the page geometry of the PDF comes into play; Sync ignores page geometry.

The file was supplied as a PDF and it was 5.44" x 7.62" with no bleeds, and the client wanted it 8.5" x 11" with bleeds. I was able to enlarge it and fix the page geometry and add a bleed through PDF fixups (it was all vector art, solid color blocks and text - nothing raster) and stretch out certain pages with the edit PDF tool, but the masks were throwing me; you can't adjust the mask without PitStop in Acrobat.

I originally realized that I could cut and paste the color blocks and then send-to-back, but that would have required me doing that a few hundred times, as would have editing the item in Illustrator, so I was looking for a quick fix. I know I could have made a few Parent pages in InDesign and then done a multipage import of the PDF, but again, there were several hundred pages with different colors (left and right) that would have had to have been matched up (and some of them had a white knockout in different places to create pseudo tabs).

Eventually I realized the fix I employed, and it worked. I used the compare tool in Acrobat to check the text and make sure nothing moved or got mislayered. It checked out good, so I'm done.
