I have seen many post regarding printing from PDF. Here is a suggestion: if
you are using a RIP with hot folders, instead of printing from Acrobat, do
this instead: save the PDF file from whatever application you are using
(Photoshop, Indesign, Quark, etc) directly into the hot folder and let it
RIP from there.
In Postscript Level 3 RIPS, PDF is the native language, and is much more
efficient and accurate.
When you print from Acrobat, you convert the PDF back into postscript, send
it to the RIP, where the normalizer converts it back to PDF again. Kind of
like translating from English to Chinese, then Chinese back to English
again.
Using hot folders with PDF's directly I much more reliable.
