Clients email us word documents and expect wonders. Is there a way forward here? Also, we create PDF's (on MACs) by first creating an EPS, and then Distilling as a PDF using the "Newspaper Job Options". We get clients sending advertising material created using various software packages, eg Corel; Quark; FreeHand, etc. When we receive PDF's from these clients, we open them up in Acrobat and export them back to EPS format (our workflow-open quark document). With the "box of tricks" plugin we are able to pick-up (upon exporting) RGB or LAB colours used in a particular job and fix to CMYK. However this does not always work. Could it be the way our clients are generating their PDF's or what. I know of 1 client that uses Corel draw and publishes to PDF. When exporting his PDF as an EPS, the warning box does not pop-up, hence his full colour job previews full colour on screen, but prints black & white in the newspaper. regards Selvan Ponnusamy Advertising Production Nightshift Supervisor Independent Newspapers KZN (South Africa) +27-31 2621670 Daytime (Home) +27-31 3082544 after 3.30pm (Work) CELL: 082 8722 301 To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfbasics.html
