Distiller 8 & OPI

Posted: 11-04-2008, 05:49 PM
Anyone know of a way to have Acrobat Distiller 8 use OPI to see and replace the images within a postscript file?

In other words, I print from Quark 6.5 a "thin" postscript file, where I leave OPI active. Then when I drop the postscript onto distiller, it will recognize the OPI comments and know to swap out the image place holders and insert the actual images.

We're having trouble in our shop with a customer who built his files in Quark 6 using DCS EPS images, and I remember back when I was in a Prinergy environment, this was the solution. But, there Prinergy was handing the OPI and making the PDFs, not Distiller. The shop I'm at now does not use Prinergy.

The customer has a spot color in the DCS files that will eventually be a spot varnish. If we try moving the Quark file up to a newer version (like 7.3), there is a type re-wrap problem. It would also involve re-saving all the DCS files as PSD and re-linking in Quark, so we are trying not to go that route.
