Symptoms |
Files created using Catalyst JumpGate 1.5 software will perform poorly in Prinergy. Catalyst JumpGate is a third-party application that takes RIPed and screened (i.e. copydot) images as input and produces PDF as output. The PDF output has specific problems when processed through Prinergy. Symptoms include: - Pages do not show correct color in Acrobat (a problem with Acrobat rather than the file format). - Some files contain erroneous PDF reference tables that can cause the Color Converter, Optimizer, or Register JTP to fail. - Pages are very slow to render in Adobe Acrobat. - Proofs and plates are very slow to render/output. - Loose page or imposed output may fail to RIP because of "limitcheck" errors. |

Solution |
The solution is to use the Copydot Toolkit to reformat the files as G4-compressed and tiled 2048 x 2048. Permanent fix: |
