    Adobe is auto-refreshing a page (causing it to load twice)...why?

    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...

    Acrobat holding files open after it is closed

    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...

    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...

    How to get pathname of currentfile with distiller

    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...

    My Documents\Adobe folder

    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...

    me again - on procedures as image datasources

    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...

    How to catch %%Page: with Acrobat distiller ?

    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...

    Washed Out Colour on pdf's

    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...

    How to catch %%Page: with Acrobat distiller ?

    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...

    How to catch %%Page: with Acrobat distiller ?

    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...

    What is lost by converting a PDF 7.0 file to a 5.0 file

    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:)...

    How to catch %%Page: with Acrobat distiller ?

    How can I track %%Page: I mean, how can I execute a predefined section of PS code I would put in prologue.PS, and get the data section of the comments, (from : to <cr>), during a distiller interpretation phase ? %comments line , including DSC comments, are not operator that can be 'replaced'...

    How-to scale a graphic in easiest way in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro?

    I don't laugh, it's not an easy one!! Acrobat was called Acrobat Exchange and PDF is an exchange format so you need an 'application' in order to do that. Either as a plug-in to Acrobat or a standalone. I would use probably use my pitstop from Enfocus because I have it, but it's probably note a...

    What is lost by converting a PDF 7.0 file to a 5.0 file

    Looks like a corrupted data in a Jpeg section of the file. But I am completely mixed up here. Are you printing one of your original big file ? or is it a 'converted' file ? Is Original big file in Acrobat 5 PDF ? Is the one you print here in 5.0 or 7.0 ? Are you printing to a Acrobat...

    Sorry to be a joy killer but it could most probably not be fixed. PDF search in order of the drawing sequence as send by the apps which generate it, but at any time during drawing the display can be anywhere on the page. for exmple the end of a drawing sequence (called a "content stream" in PDF...

    What is lost by converting a PDF 7.0 file to a 5.0 file

    If you are using 7.0, Once installed, there could be 2 printer created (on my machine) depending upon option during install "Adobe PDF" and "Adobe Distiller" In fact what's behind the scene is exactly the same Adobe PDF engine, BUT the way you can setup or edit setting are very different...
