preflight panel— non proportional type scaling on all my images

[Kat]

In my preflight panel I'm getting non proportional type scaling on all my images. Frames are 100% & image is 100%. Anybody know what causes this?

You can drill down in the Preflight panel and if you double-click on the individual page listing, it will jump directly to the problem. 

For example: in the Preflight panel, look for the TEXT listing (it will have a number next to it listing how many of those problems exist).

Expand the TEXT listing(s); Look for Non-proportional type scaling and expand that; double-click on the listings there and you will jump to them.

By the way, just because the Preflight panel flags a "problem" it does not mean the it is going to be a problem when printing.

For example, I have some PDFs that were output with crop and registration marks. When I placed them I cropped them out.

The Preflight panel still lists the registration color in the PDF, even though it is not actually in the final product.

David,

Pds uploaded to printer today. They have a problem I'll hear about it.

On preflighting: I preflighted using a specific Preflight profile in book panel and going thru each file individually. Idid find 2 client's translator image files using rich black—Hooray.

Curious that "non proportional type scaling" tags so many of my map ai image files. On the bight side no text.

The book panel preflight report using this same preflight profile didn't give me the info individual id files preflight panel did. All I got was red dots on idds.


Last week's printer problem was that I was told to add 1/8" bleed to 12 color covers. It took a week to explain that the ID flies already had 1/8" bleed—filtering up and down the corporate ladder took the week. But with the use of pdfs, screenshots and mathematical equasions I prevailed—sort of. And was told to reupload files with 1/8" bleed. So I reuploaded the same files.

I love this business—chuckle.

I edited my reply I posted a few minutes later, but I guess the email digest doesn't pick edits up.

I was wrong--placed AI files will trigger non-proportional type scaling. However, the rest of the post is correct: double-click it in the Preflight panel to locate it.

Also, it won't cause a problem in output anyway.

Not sure if I'm reading your post correctly, but generally, unless told otherwise, set your document page size to the trim size, then add the bleed using the bleed guides. To my knowledge, only very old workflows would require the page size to be the trim size PLUS the bleed.

David,

We got the printer profile year's ago and haven't been notified that anything has change.
Bleed is set in IDD.

This explains why not all maps and images, like the eps & psds weren't marked. A bug.
I love this stuff. Thanks, David.

As well as Preflighting IDDs. I've also run Flightcheck 6.9. It didn't help with my ongoing battle catching evil "shouldn't be there" color swatches. Flightcheck gives me lots of color warnings that minuscule amounts of colors are on lots of pages throughout the idds.

I've yet to find the colors.

I'm waiting, hoping thatsomeday Flightcheck will dramatically improve.
