PDF Import

[Jacob Schäffer (Grafikhuset)]

Hi Arnis,

Is it really true that FM makes an internal PDF-> EPS conversion?

If "true" that’s very interesting. As to my knowledge Adobe unceasingly
discourage the use of EPS when PDF is available because the PostScript
imaging model can't render a quite substantial amount of PDF objects
correctly :-)

Brad,

FM converts (on the fly) PDFs to EPS internally, so if you have a lot of
them (I'm assuming one of your PatternStream catalogues) and you don't have
your TEMP area on a big fast SSD, it's going to spend a lot of time writing
out and reading back in temp files.

All I can suggest (though you don't want to hear it) is to create an Acrobat
actionscript to batch convert the PDFs to EPS first and then try those in
your automation. Perhaps do a small batch as a test to see if the throughput
is improved.

Regards,

Arnis
