OPI Workflow & PDF's

[y2b]

How do you save out a PDF using OPI and still have Rampage link to the hi-res images?

Same way as an eps, just change the option in the FPO dialog box. You may need RAMPage version 10 to do this tho.

no...from what I understand it's not possible and Rampage is not working on it

the only way to take advantage of OPI is still in the EPS workflow

It's definitely possible, as I do it all day long here. Complete PDF workflow including PDF FPO's.

I don't think you're grasping what I mean...I use FPO's too, to place in Preps...after the single pages have been ripped

Well you never said a word about using Preps. I don't use preps I do all my Impo in InDesign and use PDF's with FPO for OPI. I don't make the PDF's using OPI, I make an FPO of the PDF's as a PDF and place those into Indy then use OPI to replace those with the hires versions.

wow...that's gotta hurt

not much different than using Quark to do Imposition, which I've done for near a decade now. When most your work is single page n-up there's not a lot to justify expensive imposition software. I do miss it when we get high page count book work though.

I'm not sure I understand your original question. Are you trying to use PDF wrapped FPOs, or are you trying to use OPI inside of a PDF page?

[almaink]

Doesn't hurt at all. I have templates set up in Indy for everything we do. All I have ta do is relink a new PDF FPO to the template. Couldn't be any easier.
