Hi - My specialty is print, not web - so forgive me for what could be stupid questions! Here's what I'm trying to do: I have 48 press-ready pdf files that I have had printed. The pages are seperate files b/c thats how my vendor liked to get them - but they are all one book. I want to add the...

Got it - you guys are really helping me out here :) I have noticed that some adjustment layers are discarded when flattening to go to CMYK. Actually when I convert to CMYK, the image is flattened anyway, I can't get around that. The layer I lose is the Curves Adjustment layer and i wind up...

Thanks for the reply. That is how I used to work too. But I've heard that you can just click proof colors on under the view menu (PS 7.0, btw) and set to CMYK. Sounds too good to be true... In the meantime, I'll continue converting to CMYK then making adjustments to be safe. Knowledge...

Hiya - Lots of times I get RGB scans of photos, etc that I need to make into ads suitable for CMYK printing. I do as much editing as possible in RGB if the image came to me in RGB. I turn on CMYK proof colors as well. I'm confused about converting to CMYK. Many people tell me not to...

Hiya - Is there a way that data entered into a pdf form can be exported into specific places in another program (specifically Excel and/or ACT?) More specifically - I've made a pdf form with fields for names and addresses, etc. I want to know if I can populate an Excel database or an ACT...

Thanks jimoblak - All of these are good reasons why I saw this error - I also found another one in my trial-and-errors today tracking it down. When saving a file, it asks if you want to embed the fonts - if the fonts are outlined - turn this option off. If it's on - it seems to want to embed...

I've got 16 pages of AI files with all fonts outlined. When I take it to another machine and load them - it asks me for the missing fonts. Why would it do this? Outlining should negate font issues, right? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, nate Knowledge enormous makes a God...

I have a completed 40 page 4C magazine. Lots of great pictures (tiffs), artwork (eps) and mucho text. The file size is 440 megs! Is this right? This is my first huge qxd project - and I really feel like this is just too big of a file and my printer will curse my name when he gets this! Are...

Is it a good idea to convert a page of 8 point text to outlines to avoid font issues at press? I am inclined to think its NOT a good idea b/c when creating outlines - It seems that the fonts tend to bloat a bit and get messy. Especailly when they are so small. Any advice? Thanks - nate...

My monitor grossly mispresents colors from screen to print. I input PMS colors all over the spectrum and complare the colors on screen to my color book. they aren't even close! Anyone know of a utility out there that can make the monitor at least close to the actual colors to print? Or do I...

Why do you have to flatten an image? Does anyone here know why exactly it is necessary? I know it makes a smaller file size - but I think images look much better printed w/o flattening - so I usually ignore the flatten warning. Anyone know what this flatteing thing is really all about and why...

Heeelo! Alright - I just got a nice new samsung 17" flat screen. Its really nice lookin. But it sucks at providing a color representation that is even close to my Pantone swatches! I'm creating all these great pages on teh screen using - the go to print and they are not only off...

Sorry for the double post - this is in the PS forum too... Hi there - long time no talk! Anyhow - I'm gonna design a banner for my magazine. I want to use PS b/c I can make something very cool. But am scared that b/c I'll need to render my text and images to apply filters to.. by the time...

Hey there - I'm gonna post this in a couple different spots here - so ignore the cross-posting... Does anyone know of a good font management solution for XP-home edition? I am used to suitcase (which rocks) and ATM lite. Of course suitcase wont go PC and I cant get ATM lite to install...

I have Illustrator 9.0 and I cant do this. Weird oversight if you ask me... There are 2 ways around it - - If you have MSWord - you can open a blank document there and preview the fonts quickly and just alt-tab b/w the 2 windows.... or.. you could DL adobe type manager for free from...

I've heard of several people having this problem.... Anyone here have a suggestion?? Knowledge enormous makes a God of me.

Very Good! thanks! I was getting all caught up in sections and all sorts of mess. I want to keep this first attempt nice and simple.. and I like your idea as being both simple for me and my printer. Knowledge enormous makes a God of me.

Total newbie here! But a big project: I'm going to attempt to create a simple magazine. It'll be 40 pages including covers. 1) Should I make a facing page master document to be the front and back covers - or 2 single master pages? What should I do about the matter that will be the inside...
