Apparently a windows version of TNR (maybe a system font?)

There's an embed in here, does this not work? (Never used it myself)

were both jobs that were a problem opened on the other machine? Oh and you might want to make some pdf presets so everybody is exporting the same....just a thought.

Was the file originally CS3 (maybe opened and saved in CS4)?

I like it, for the most part....took awhile to find all the places they hide stuff you're not supposed to have to do (manipulate the layouts)...

Oh, and an update....that problem I talked about in the first post was indeed a bug....strangely, the support person on the phone actually said the word "bug" (thought they taught them back in support school to use other terms so as not to admit a problem)....   :shocked:

Think I've discovered a bug...just curious if anyone else has noticed anything like this....when creating a book, metrix picks the first imposition available. When we create a 12 pager and it applies the imposition, it shorts the height of pages 1 & 12 (also 2 & 11, duh). If I go and pick another layout and then re-apply the same 12 page layout (that shorted the pages), it comes back in fine. I have deleted the folding scheme and recreated it exactly and it still does the same thing. Getting ready to call the Metrix people, but was wondering if anybody has run across anything like this before.

what if you have a foil close to but not on top of printing?

depends how close...if I had to knock out behind the foil for any reason, I would trap around the edges...(as large a trap as I could safely do)

I would split the difference between the KO and the edge of the stamp.

yeah, what he said

Quote from: mattbeals on June 06, 2010, 04:48:28 PMEven having them side by side you won't see what Illustrator changed when it opened the generic PDF.

Here is a little tip that has saved my ass a countless times by picking up mistakes I would have otherwise missed by just viewing the PDF's side by side.

1. Duplicate PDF
2. Edit duplicated PDF in Illy - Page size HAS to stay the same!
3. Open the original and the edited PDF in acrobat.
4. Use your apple + tilda key to quickly cycle between the two PDF's repeatedly.
5. Play spot the difference.

This trick comes in especially handy (for me anyways) when doing last second fix-ups on a PDF and need to check that no fonts have defaulted, or other shit gone wrong, during the creation of the PDF.

After you have them open side by side, there is also the "compare documents" command under the advanced menu...It picks up and highlights differences between the two files...

Oops, sorry...in Acrobat 8 it's under Advanced, In 9, it's under "document"
