Hi Arnis, Is it really true that FM makes an internal PDF-> EPS conversion?
If "true" thats very interesting. As to my knowledge Adobe unceasingly discourage the use of EPS when PDF is available because the PostScript imaging model can't render a quite substantial amount of PDF objects correctly :-) Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Jacob Schäffer | Chief Developer Grafikhuset (House of Graphics) Paradis Allé 22, Ramløse DK-3200 Helsinge, Denmark Moblie: +45 2021 1958 Phone: +45 4848 0096 Email: [email protected] Web: http://design.grafikhuset.dk -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Arnis Gubins Sent: 16. april 2013 20:02 To: [email protected]; Brad Anderson Subject: Re: PDF Import Brad, FM converts (on the fly) PDFs to EPS internally, so if you have a lot of them (I'm assuming one of your PatternStream catalogues) and you don't have your TEMP area on a big fast SSD, it's going to spend a lot of time writing out and reading back in temp files. All I can suggest (though you don't want to hear it) is to create an Acrobat actionscript to batch convert the PDFs to EPS first and then try those in your automation. Perhaps do a small batch as a test to see if the throughput is improved. Regards, Arnis _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected].
