If you have PitStop Server icw Switch, you can use Enfocus PitStop Server PDF2Image.
If not, you can use Execute command icw ImageMagick.
But a better approach may be to reduce the number of nodes in the paths without changing the appearance.
PitStop offers a “Simplify line art” action for this purpose.
Also useful with cut lines.

Tryd that already but with no result. Customer design everything in illustrator. File is not that heavy but for the rip its to much. So we making a Tiff file from the PDF and then drop it in the rip. That works.

Hi Robbie, we are also using Caldera for our LFP-production. Could you send a example file so I can try it out and maybe suggest a solution?
