Were you opening from the CD?Did you try copying the file to the desktop?

What's the file size ?

What's the error when you try to open ?

I have a ArtPro file, 4 spots and CMYK.Need to export a  CMYK PDF from ArtPro or Nexus. (no postscript please)Any ideas.

We usually use 20%Cyan to represent White.(on screen/PDF etc.)If their are 2 Whites then we go to 20%Mag for the 2nd White

How about PrePress Engineer.....
you know....like Sanitation Engineer is really a garbageman.

Thanks for your time.

Got a puzzler.......anyone care to look at it.

1st time White Overprint Detector fooled me.

Quote from: hotmetal on December 02, 2008, 08:49:37 PMseems to me it's a design group and corporate enterprise thing.

Well, that's what were gonna try it for. We have our own Design Studio next door(about25people).
Then the files come to us for prep/preflight,then on to assembly(trap,etc).

Only thing Im worried about is fonts on everyones machines and dfferent OS's.(probably 40 or so macs involved)
Dont the apps we use look in your mac first?


To me fonts aren't really that hard if you understand how they work and how to use them.

Anyone using this ?
