Hello Tia, Whenever you are composing to any postscript based output such as VPS, you ALWAYS want to ensure that your artwork of your piece, i.e. graphics, logos, are flattened prior to creating the PDF to eliminate any rasterization or downsampling of these elements. Check your PDF presets to ensure that they are set optimally. This issue appears to be a problem in "How" the pdf was created. The Indesign PDF presets should have settings with emphasis in Transparency Flattening, No Downsampling, High Quality. If you are composing to a PDF output, then this would not be an issue.
However, when composing to the ppml or any other postscript based format, we need to ensure that the pdf generated from the design program have these settings applied prior to export with FusionPro. Having said that, have the user select in Indesign the following options: File>>PDF Export Presets>>Define. Compression: Automatic Set the "Color Images" to "No Downsampling", Quality set to "High" Under enable "Transparency Flattening". This should correct the problem. You can also choose to use the "PDF Optimizer" tool in Acrobat(Professional) which will allow them to specify these settings as well using Adobe Distiller. These settings can also be applied to Quark's export settings. Hope this information helps. regards, Alex -----Original Message----- From: Commercial Printing & Office Supply, Inc.

The only issue I have not solved is when we are dealing with transparencies in the pdf file. When FP creates the multi-file vps it turns the static graphics into eps files which can't handle the transparencies. Have you, or anyone else on this listserve, found a workaround for this issue?
