    CERTIFIED PDFs FROM INDESIGN

    What they probably want is it certified by a profile done through Enfocus apps ( http://www.certifiedpdf.net ). I use Pitstop to certify using 2005 Ghent 3 profiles ( http://www.gwg.org ). But like jmgalvin said, you will need to find out specificly what profiles they want you to conform to...

    Exported pdf not same quality as direct from InDesign

    My edumacated guess.. Pure K vs Rich K Acrobat is printing your black as you have made it. Pure 100%K isnt very black and its more noticeable with larger coverage areas. What your experiencing is InDesign has been deceiving you with its default settings. Displaying blacks incorrectly on...

    Placing Jpeg in AI for business card

    Don't forget the bleed! If your card has something running off the edge, dont have the image/graphics cut off right were the cut would be. You want 1/8" extra space around your card with your images/graphics bleeding past where the cut will be. and keep all your content and info which you dont...

    Metallic swatches Pantone color bridge

    My "edumacated" guess for whats going on when you output it that your rip doesnt like the squares in the name, like an invalid character. So it comes to a plate with a name that uses a character it cant read or use and it disregards it and then uses the alternative colour space for the pms...

    TouchUp Content image shifts in Pro 8

    I'v had the same thing happen doing image touchups from Acrobat 7. Funny thing is I dont remember it being a problem in older versions of acrobat. I dont need to do it very often but when I do need to edit them I write down the XY that Pitstop says the image its at before I edit it and then put...

    How do they do that? Large poster on buidlings??

    Like jconingham said, a photo is a photo. Though the photo is printed low res because your factoring viewing distance. The larger the ad and further the viewing distance the lower the resolution. Say for something thats small, like 6'w x 12'h id make the images around 100-125ppi. Uber huge...

    Creating Barcodes

    Exactly as Bert says. Example I had a client who ran these POS inserts with barcodes and they went cheap ass on them and must of had some secretary do this cut and paste job from old things that they done. I almost had tears when I saw what they used to make film from. Scotch tape over...

    Illy for logo but letterhead in Word

    Yeah, only within Office itself but its still funny to think. Hell has frozen over. It would technically possible (Not that I would do it) to export your logo to WMF/EMF and then you can edit it right in word and colour each object and tag it with your spot colours with that plug. Though WMF and...

    Illy for logo but letterhead in Word

    When output to PS and distilled on the Mac EPS retained the spot colour. WMF and EMF will convert to RGB. Placed PDFs appear to rasterize as Indexed RGB lol :P Word 2004 on the mac seemed to like EPSs with Tiff/Opaque previews. And to bastardize the topic even more… check this out. I almost...

    System Preferences quits

    Sometimes errors cant be fixed because your root drive is mounted and you dont have permission. Try this (just to be 100% sure) 1) Toss in your OSX install disk 2) Restart your box while holding the C key down 3) When your computer is fully booted from the Disk choose Disk Utility from the...

    How to select texts that aren't next to each other in Indesign CS2

    I think your SOL.. Quark has an xtension which lets you do discontiguous selections but thats not much help to you. Not sure if there is such a thing for InDesign? Maybe what your trying to do could be solved with styles? Knowing what your trying to achieve with your multiple selections might...

    forms created in professional 8

    Yep you got it, fancy form saving features of Acrobat 8 will only be useful with Reader 8. Think you got a few more weeks before its release. If your really desperate and they are using PC and dont mind using a pre-release for the time being...
