Good Day!
I work for a major newspaper publishing company, and we receive a large
percentage of our ads as camera-ready PDFs, usually distilled with Distiller
settings we have provided for our customers. 90% of these ads arrive and run
fine, but we've been experiencing a truly random problem with type failing
to knock out consistently. For example, we'll receive an ad with yellow or
red type, with a black drop shadow - but the drop shadow overprints the
colored type. The PDF, in most cases, will look fine on screen, but will
proof incorrectly, and consequently separate to film incorrectly. These
files usually come from Quark, but not consistently. We will also find this
problem on only some type within an given PDF, or even within words (at
character level.
Anyone else heard of this, in this seemingly random fashion? Any
solutions?
