Post Rip Pdf Question
Hi,
I'm new here, but I joined the forum because I have a small question about making post rip pdfs out of rampage. As I have come to understand it, post rip pdfs are pretty much just glorified jpgs that have a .pdf tacked onto the end of them, and they are not TRUE pdfs.
just to clarify, i am talking about sending it through the "proofing" tab in rampage. I've got it set up so it makes pdfs out of there.
We have several clients who simply won't accept post-ripped pdfs out of rampage because of how low resolution they look. If I pump up the anti-alias or the quality of the pdf out of rampage, it looks better, but something that is 356K now becomes a 10 mb file. This, naturally, is unacceptable for a proof, because while it looks great, a client isn't going to want a 52 page pdf out of rampage in which each page is 10mb!
So, on to my question. Is there any way to make a pdf out of rampage and have it still look good and be relatively small?
We are running rampage 10.4 and I have acrobat 8 equipped with the newest version of pitstop professional. I have run a test file through pitstop's "resample image" action, and it took the image size down considerably, but the type became unreadable.
We are also using mac computers, but rampage is running on a pc in the back.
my fears are that there is no good way to do this, but I want to have some solid proof of this to take back to my supervisors, so i figured i'd ask some other people who use this system all day long.
any help would be very much appreciated, and i thank you in advance.
