Just an idea Check all default actions on arobat or reader, regarding what is supposed to happen when opening a file. Acrobat may do it's stuff then give you hand but too late it already did a refresh. Also check if there are any anotations in the page. Behavior of Acrobat refresh is very much...

Not exactly behavior I found, but very close. Adobe get a lot of stuff running in background to help jumpstart when opening PDF in a browser. This stuff can interfere with the "display" section of Acrobat. Use windows task manager to see which task start with Acro.. Like the infamous...

Don't know if this help, but There is a few library out there to read and rewrite PDF no really good freeware lib, you better thing about spending few bucks to avoid loosing them in lengthy process http://www.pdftron.com/index.html...

No they aren't /DeviceN is Level III only when the /Separation color model is allowed in level II A lot of others difference!! Specially in the way the color have to be defined there is a variation on the operator name and usage. Also a major diff, the impact it have on overprinting. /DeviceN...

Is there any serverdict or systemdict values containing this info or something that allow to get it ? Could be a prologue.ps modification of startup or even in distinit.ps something that would allow me to "catch" that name at run time. I need to put the exact name in the documents trough a...

I don't know but I find out that that distiller create intermediate file for PDF, just when it write "saving" for a long duration, looks like a phase where it optimize object positioning for sake of size. Then it create final PDF. Is it distiller or Acrobat who create it ? Use the end of path...

Thanks Alex (with delay) Without any other solutions I did implement PS parsing in prologue!! finaly FYI What I did and finding were; But I dislike this pre-processing as my customer sometime have file 2GB big. .... and I get the classical "OK it work but have you seen how fast it can be...

Stupid am I Just replace /assi by currentdict/assi get and it might work you need to sens a procs, not the value of it

Interesting, I suspect you cont 'i' after colorimage to say that it only called it once, isn't it ? What's value of i did you get ? What's error message if any I don't see what's wrong wth it my idea would be CTM make a that small image that procs isn't called enough simply because 1 pixels is...

Thanks But I unfortunately need to use Distiller. I do not intend to specially reconstruct separated PostScript but this would be a funny project anyway. For now I just need to register special page name and %%Platecolor name used within documents. Page name is more important (%%Platecolor...

I assume your images are individually OK under Photoshop. Anyway as text look also to be wrong, I thing image is not really the issue, it's distiller condition that need to be looked upon. As text is involved it could also come from a wrong display profile imbedded in the PDF. If you print from...

Thanks, I heard of somebody that did a pre-separated to Composite "re combiner" for distiller, This surely need to catch %%Platecolor: BEFORE sending it to distiller in order to allow a recombine changing color model from gray (for this layer) to a /Separation for the Platecolor string. How do...

Thanks Let's clarify myself. First I am used to write PS code for PS Rip like GS,Harlequin, or Jaws. As procset or pagefeature, or driver init procs. But distiller is a close but different beast, and I can't use it the way I need. As an example I need to track rather unusual comments values...

Pleasure

OK more clear now. I think that you found ou the answer with corrupted files. I don't see any reasons your ram is too small. Worst it take hours to open it. Check also available space on the disk containing Acrobat, and on disk containing "Documents and Settings" (generally the same and is C:)...
