Title: "Processed with 'GPC'"? - What is this?
Post by: AaronH on February 04, 2019, 11:30:56 AM
Hey everyone! I don't know what I did, but lately when I open a PDF for the first time, this pops up in my Enfocus Navigator.

Has anyone run into this before? I'm not sure what is causing this to happen.

It looks like a preflight set to go off on startup, (I'm sure you figured that part out)!
That's weird!

Preflight profile named 'GPC'?

The really weird thing is that I ran a search for the name of the preflight profile and can't find one. I'm starting to wonder if these are from the same client and something might be embedded sort of with their PDFs. I'll have to pay attention to what PDFs cause it.

Sounds like some new kind of food preservative.

If it's anything like MSG, it may cause headaches...

Ugh, I can't get the file to do it now. I've tried everything, quitting acrobat even. I'll send you a PM when I find another file doing it.

I had the Action List open when I opened the file the first time it happened. I ran a search for GPC in all the tabs, but couldn't find an action called that.

Catalog with black only changes between the 3 versions. Files have 4 color changes everywhere.

We just had a job go through that it was claimed at some point was going to be black only plate changes, but guess what? Brown type is not black only so full plate changes all around! :banana:

It boggles my mind that people using InDesign don't know to put all the 4 color in one InDesign file and then put each black version type changes in its own layer in that document. Output a PDF for each version with the base layer and only the black changes layer for that version turned on. Abracadabra....perfection. So easy a monkey could do it.

Yeah, but I bet they can use effects layers in Photoshop. That's what counts, right?  :sarcasm:

yeah except even then... we do apparel catalogs that are done that way, should be perfect, but they always find a way to add a challenge. Last year it was to move a 1" version of the logo around a bit, could have been 100% blk logo and would still be ok, but they are experts and the logo was rich black. HA! touché! got us again! :ohno:

btw, we caught it at press and did some creative hone-offs rather than make all plates but still - grrrr

Indeed. The more idiot proof we make it the better (or worse if you prefer) idiots they create.

There's even a script for outputting versions of a base layer!!
