That worked. Thanks Bens!

We get this job every election cycle, with multiple versions, and it takes way too long to convert to spot color. The pdf contains three basic colors, and none of them are specified as spot. There's CMYK and RGB, plus Index versions of these colors, and many have slight variation in values. I'm tryi...

I was removing no fill or stroke, but earlier in the process. I designed the workflow years ago, so I am simply adding functionality. I try to compartmentalize these sub-routines, so to not gum-up the works. Adding it right before applying the flexo distortion will now touch every job, but I don't s...

This is still vexing me! I built a very simple file, using text boxes only. I read somewhere (I think it was you @freddyp) that you could eliminate the Forms by using Acrobat Transparency Flattener. It took me a while to figure out how to automate this, until I used Esko AE's Export to PDF as an X-3...

Unfortunately, I can't find a way to automate this.

Flattening as a separate step looks like it will work for @drcpub, to send dielines to a vendor.

Is there a way to automate this? I am unable to Select Content That is Visible, and then Resize Crop Box to Selection because the Forms are getting in the way.

Using the Object Browser you will see that there is a white background That was it. To see the hidden problem, I used Select Object while in Wireframe mode, and it didn't give me any values. Object Browser is new to me, and I can see how that tool will become very useful in the future. Thank you. I...

The object in question appears to be the bounding box of the PDF we placed in InDesign. It has four nodes, and no properties other than size and position. A wireframe screenshot is at the end of this post We will take client submitted PDFs, preflight them with Pitstop, run them through Esko Automati...
