Why can't anyone understand how to make a pdf with NO PREPRESS MARKS, NO CROP MARKS, and NO BLEEDS and all fonts converted? If it's just text on a white sign blank you must include the sign blank or I will not know what size you're after.

and when you get an eps that's just a scan of a paper copy saved as an eps. Or an eps from a design that uses gradients.

Please don't use photoshop for the layout. Absolutely no reason the file should be over 1GB! 250MB max. That's not what photoshop is for. Use a vector program (illy, corel, flexi, signlab, etc)

Ditto. They always see the error in their ways.

Agreed. I'd keep all photos at their respective dpi. In corel I'd lay it out at scale. No problem, do it all day long.

I've gotten many "sign specs" from companies where the math doesn't add up and no font specified. 0r calls for 4" LH Helvetica which becomes way too long to fit within "the specs" now what? "Can't you just squish it!"

Bigger question would be why you can't get it to load? Was the font purchased?

Ouch! lol. Not the case here.

Colleges only teach Adobe. And they don't teach about file types and such. They expect to make top dollar right from graduation.

Before the military I bailed hay, picked peppers before I was legal enough to work a real job. 1 summer I worked at a craft/hobby store. McDonalds fired me because my mom's car broke down the day I was supposed to work so I called and told tem I couldn't make it in. As soon as the car was fixed...

We don't have a need for a large number of brown reflective .080 alum so we're having a hard time finding a supplier who will cut from 4 x 8 sheets. We can make our own cuts but it's a pia.

Less seams = good. Yes, more work and justifiably pricier but the customer will be happy. On this vehicle you will inevitably end up with a seam somewhere though.

We get a lot of customers come to us to fix their wraps that was done elsewhere because it looks like crap. Hmmm horizontal seams. What the....

In Dallas? $20/hr min or consider hiring another. How will the guy take a vacation?

You're misunderstanding. I'm not blaming Adobe, blaming untrained Adobe users. Or they don't care to learn the errors of their ways.

I receive pdf's all the time that I can instantly tell are from Adobe. Sometimes I can successfully open them in illustrator and save them out again for use in Corel other times I'm forced to open in photoshop and export as a tiff.

Adobe using don't understand how to make a file cross compatible. They assume everyone uses Adobe. DO NOT MAKE AN EPS FILE IF "GRADIENTS ARE USED" The most cross compatible file to use is pdf. From illy it has to be done a certain way though and not many care to learn the proper way because...
