Hi, everyone A customer recently asked us if it was possible to remove all of the variable frames in their FusionPro PDF template in a simple manner (as opposed to selecting each frame and deleting it). They were doing hybrid printing on shells and wanted to have the static background PDF sent off to a different workflow for conventional printing. Since they had made some changes to the PDF background in their FusionPro template, they needed to use this exact background PDF file (rather than the original file) for the shell printing. There's a great feature in Adobe Acrobat 7 that allows you to remove all FusionPro frames from a PDF (there may be a similar feature in Acro 5 and 6). To remove the FusionPro frames in Acrobat 7, first backup your PDF. Then, select "Advanced->PDF Optimizer" from Acrobat. There are a number of settings in the PDF Optimizer that you can run on your PDF that are worth a look at including image downsampling, transparency flattening, "Audit Space Usage", and font embedding settings. For removing the frames, go to the "Discard Objects" section and select the "Discard all comments and form widgets" option (should be the very first selection). Press the OK button and viola - no more FusionPro frames! Please Note: Be careful on the settings in the "Images" area. The default is to downsample images about a certain resolution so you want to change those settings to what is appropriate to your workflow. Hope this option is useful to other users.
