Type Editing in Pitstop

[Joe]

Nick,

With due respect: from your statement quoted above, I believe you have not understood the concept of a template in Preps and have been using the application improperly all along. Your problem, in my opinion is at the concept level for templates and text variables.

You should be able to do all of your work from one job cycle to another with just a few templates. The fundamental idea behind a template based imposition application is that "page units" of a particular job are automatically inserted into place holder pages by the imposition application using a pre established layout or "template". Ditto for the concept of text variables.

The idea of needing to write a few new ones [templates] every week violates the basic concepts of an application such as Preps. Forgive me if I am way off base, but my comments are based on what you have written.

I have to admit I've been thoroughly confused by this thread.

Nick,

I was not able to repeat the problem. With neither Helvetica nor Arial loaded, I was able to edit the text and add characters without any errors. The "Enfocus Inspector" window in your screen-shot appears different from mine, which probably means you have a different Pitstop version. Attached is a screen-shot of my window.

I used Pitstop 7.52 in Acrobat 7.1.0 & OS 10.5.4 Intel. You can download 7.52 from this page:

Enfocus - Where can I download the installers for older versions of Enfocus Products.

If you're using Pitstop 6, you can also download 6.53 from the same page, which was the latest subversion.

Kyle, my apologies...

I have attached the file...one thing tho, someone already did the type for the sig...

I did try to just type in a few characters and got the same thing about the ArialMT...

Thanks in advance...

hi Nick,

This looks like an Acrobat warning. Are you using the Enfocus Text editing tool? If you do, follow Kyle's suggestion by updating your software...

cheers,
Bert
