  1. proofing

    And add to every proof. Too many times we've received an approval and after printing they didn't notice the phone # was wrong or they wanted double-sided etc.
  2. Powerpoint files... Can we use them?..Is there a way to use them?

    The U.S. military is notorious for PPT files. Why? Because, as a whole, they are not authorized any other design software. Only specialized agencies are authorized Adobe and/or CorelDRAW. We have to keep MS Office on all our workstations so it's just a matter of opening in PowerPoint then...
  3. Thoughts on new equipment installation and training

    When we travel I do most of the driving while the wife navigates. This is what I get. "your turn was back there" or she'll stair out the window and say "there it is, didn't you see the sign?"
  4. PDFs print but the image files are missing, only certain PDFs have this problem

    Please don't don't that. lol Always save as tif. Same result but better quality. Tif is "lossless" where as png is not.
  5. In need of a graphic designer/hair stylist?

    We once had an applicant stop by to inquire about a job posting were running at the time. The person was wearing slippers! And when asked to send in their resume per the reader board email address..., well couldn't do that.
  6. Banners Across Road

    We use the "can method" for wind slits but also hole punch the ends. All ballfield chain link fence banners get about 6 of these
  7. bus wrap design

    I've tried working with a 3rd party to design vehicles wraps such as this. None have really worked out. I couldn't get the information that was needed to complete anything. I start with straight on photos and a few key measurements, scale in the design program then create clipping...
  8. In need of someone/someplace to print static cling

    "Opened" the pdf? In acrobat or...? I don't ever trust measurements within any pdf viewer. I import to Corel or open in ai select the "cut" line and there's where you'll find the size.
  9. In need of someone/someplace to print static cling

    We use a white static cling so no need for white ink. Also recommend black to be R0G0B0. Not saying we'd take it on. Not my decision. Not sure the little ones would even plot though.
  10. Any lighting tips for weeding vinyl - especially white - I can not see cut lines

    The pounce bag is what I suggested soon after starting here (over 17yrs ago) and I had absolutely no weeding experience. Uh...nobody listened to me. Along with many other great ideas. We still squint and look from every angle 'til the light is just right. Glad to here it actually works.
  11. Software options

    Oops. For that I cannot recommend any as the software we use is over 30 years old and our sales staff, as well as our accountant, hate it. A couple of years ago we looked into and actually purchased Cyrious for sign pricing and tracking production. We were talking about moving to Quickbooks for...
  12. Software options

    Age old loaded question. Most will need several software programs as many clients have there own design to provide but it will be either ai, eps, or pdf. CorelDRAW/Photopaint (my choice) Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop Both require extensive learning. Corel I find to be easier to learn by doing...
  13. Educating clients in what is and isn't high quality artwork.

    To curb the frustration I'll try google advanced search to look for pdf's 9 times outta 10 the logo is in vector format on one of those pdf's Occasionally I've found svg logos on the company website that the company didn't even realize was vector. And then there's Brands of the World or...

    Update "Suzie M commented: Hi Myron, I just received word from the engineers, and they could identify a possible cause for the issue. While I don't have an ETA on when a fix for the issue will be pushed, we will deploy it as soon as one is available. Once we have more information, we’ll...
  15. Need a favor - download pdf template and return results

    Update, I tried creating the form thru the various free online form creators. Using mine as a template but replacing my acrobat checkboxes with ones generated from the particular online creator. I then download as a pdf to my pc them upload to trello. Same result, no checkbox fields show as...
  16. Need a favor - download pdf template and return results

    No good with edge either. Creating an image isn't ideal for the best workflow but we have resorted to that in the meantime. We may even implement using a tablet to "pencil" in the workorders and then save as pdf for upload to trello.
  17. Need a favor - download pdf template and return results

    Thanks for the test pdf. Just as I suspected it doesn't have anything to do with our antiquated software (Acrobat Pro 9.0.0) Your pdf produced the same undesired result. A little background. We use trello for tracking our jobs. When attaching these workorder pdf's to the cards they are...
  18. Need a favor - download pdf template and return results

    Yeah, I was afraid it would come across like that. Not phishing. I can fish but not phish. lol Just troubleshooting a problem in our workflow.
  19. Need a favor - download pdf template and return results

    I've created a fillable pdf workorder for our sign shop. Designed in CorelDRAW then saved as pdf. Opened pdf in Acrobat Pro 9 and used the create form option. Added various form fields. We've been using this form successfully for a couple of years now but now something flakey is happening. We're...
  20. Is it insulting to point out the desired way to set up 3rd party files?

    Now I'm insulted! :roflmao: Nothing wrong about our workflow. We print all our own stuff and have spent many years perfecting said workflow. I know what works and what works the fastest & most economical while utilizing the substrate to its fullest. If you can't follow my simple pdf...
