Hi

We have a current workflow where we produce Hi Res PDF's with crops and bleed for print purposes. We also need to create a low res pdf without crops and bleed (crop to trim) hopefully without having to go back into InDesign and re-producing the PDF.

Can anyone tell me how to produce a FixUp to accommodate this.

I know you can crop the document to the Trim Size from the 'Document' menu and selecting 'Crop Pages'.

Is there anyway of incorporating this into a FixUp or Preflight profile along with reducing the file size and saving to an assigned folder different to the source folder?

Thanks

Mark

You can use a batch sequence to do all of the steps you want to do.

You can run preflight Fixups and run custom optimizer settings and you can specify an output folder to save the files to as well as either choose the files to process or run the batch sequence on a selected folder.

You can find the batch sequence option by going to Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing...I use batch sequences quite a bit and they are great as almost anything can be done using them.

Is there any way you put all of the batch processing and preflight into one Droplet that can sit on numerous desktops?

Plus I have ran a batch process and it has converted all the original hi res files to low res as well as saving a copy to the output folder. Is there anyway of retaining the original file?

Thanks

As far as I know there isn't a way to make droplet for batch sequences just preflight items.

I don't know of a way to make it so the original file remains unprocessed. I usually make a copy when I want to keep the original untouched.

There is a setting in the batch processing dialog called Don't Save Changes in the 3. Select Output Location... option. But I'm not sure what the purpose of that option is for when is selected and used.
