(and the refrying is sometimes the only one method to image a crappy Publisher-PDFcreator PDF, or to image an exported PDF with a PostScript RIP)ĭov, your advices are judicious in the pure theorie, but there is a big difference between the heaven of Adobe's theories, an heaven where everybody has the latest softwares, where all the printers have the latest RIP, where DTP is only made by skillful users with the appropriate Adobe's software, and where PDFs are always perfectly generated, only by experienced users and only with Adobe's recommanded methods. and again, compared to rasterization and shitty pixels-text printing, the simple loss of live transparency and color management issues are only little details making the refrying not such a bad solution!!! but refrying a PDF is also one of the solutions to image a recalcitrant PDF, being often THE last solution just before the rasterization in Photoshop. and if you compare with objectivity, in fact, imposing PDF with InDesign is not such a bad method!!!)Ĭlick to expand.Again, you're right. or more worst, rasterize the PDF in Photoshop. and in these cases the easiest way to finally cope with that kind of PDFs is to import all the pages in an InDesign template and image from InDesign. (althought the output preview of Acrobat and the preview of the RIP both showed a CMJN black, PitStop "affirmed" that it was a N=100 black and, of course, refused to convert it!!!) for example, on a serie of 5 PDFs, all exported from Publisher by the same client, ImposerPro returned an error and Quite Imposing made a strange conversion of the black from N=100 in the original PDF to CMJN black in the imposed PDF, with absolutely no way to retransform the CMJN black in N=100. and Quite Imposing, even being highly functional and highly reliable has often problems with such crappy PDFs. ImposerPro (ex ALAP, then Quark, and now stopped) often doesn't succeed to built the imposed PDF, returning an "Invalid operand: something missing" error

but sometimes InDesign is the best (or the less worst) last solution.: I often receive "dirty" PDFs made from office softwares (Publisher, Word, OpenOffice) either directly exported from these softs, or "distilled" by some crappy free PDF-izer (like PDFcreator) and I often have problem to impose these PDF in Acrobat 8: and especially about the excessive cost of Adobe's softwares for the too short time that they can be used!!!Ĭlick to expand.You're right. and that's why we "moan about the cost of software". and in many cases we earn more money by spending some more time to deal with work-arounds and old sofwares and old RIPs, that by using new adapted softwares/RIPs.Īnd that's not amazing: simply open your eyes and look at the real world, you'll see that it's only a sad consequence of Adobe's economical choices: actually, Adobe and all that stuff needed with Adobe's softs for DTP are simply ruining the little printers!!! but your softwares are so expensive, so quickly obsolete and your scientific organization of the incompatibility to oblige the users to always buy your newest softwares is so efficient that some little companies (like mine) are obliged to buy new softwares before having finished to pay the previous stuff (or before having earn money with the previous versions)!!!
They forget the value of their own time and the cost of having to redo work.Ĭlick to expand.Let me explain something to you: when we (printers) buy presses or some other kind of hardwares, we know that we will be able to use it enough long time to pay it and we know that we will earn some money with it before being obliged to replace it.

Amazing how many print professionals drool over expensive presses and other "hardware" but continually bitch and moan about the cost of software, but will spend many hours of their time avoiding software maintenance or purchase of professional products that will readily solve their problems. The emphasis on "cheap" in this thread is highly disturbing to me. (For the record, I am not paid or otherwise compensated to endorse their software!) Yes, they are not "cheap" but then again, it isn't amateur hour software either.

You might want to take a look at Quite Software's Quite Imposing and Quite Imposing Plus plug-ins for Acrobat.
If you don't have imposition software as an integral part of your PDF workflow / RIP system, a better place to do imposition is in Acrobat itself. It is not an imposition program and can be lossy for some detailed aspects of placed PDF (especially PDF/X output rendering intents and transparency flattening color spaces). Quite frankly, InDesign is not the place to do PDF imposition.
