PDFs and OPI

[John George]

Hi,

not sure if this helps but we had OPI in my last place and we used creator as well -- it drove us nuts!

When exporting as eps, there are some opi options and when printing choose multi-ad creator options and there should be options to send opi, substitute opi or omit postscript. We noticed that using the 'omit postscript for bitmap' option makes creator embed the entire TIF lo-res which has opi comments embedded in it. So when the file hits the opi queue, it knows what to do. We were using Helios so it's references started with %%HEL and %%ALD within the proxy image.

We always make sure to have that turned on, I double checked and it is.
