1. Is it possible to add my own Color Bar to documents, rather than using the one built into ARTS PDF Crackerjack?

Yes, to do this, create a PDF page that contains your color bar design, positioned where you want to place it on the page. In the ARTS PDF Crackerjack 'Options' Panel (File > ARTS PDF Crackerjack > ARTS PDF Crackerjack > Options), select 'Use PDF Background' and browse to select your Color Bar PDF file.

2. Can the ARTS PDF Crackerjack printing process be automated?

ARTS PDF Crackerjack Pilot is a 'hot folders' approach to automation. First you set up a ARTS PDF Crackerjack settings file and a group of associated folders, one for initial input, one as a destination for successfully processed jobs, another as a repository for unsuccessful jobs, and finally a destination for 'Save to File' output. After everything is set up, make sure that Acrobat^® has been launched, then simply drop the documents that you want processed in the appropriate pilot folder.

3. How do I color separate RGB to CMYK with ARTS PDF Crackerjack?

ARTS PDF Crackerjack's default settings will automatically take care of converting RGB to CMYK, including mapping RGB black to the process black (K) plate. To adjust these default settings, double-click on the 'Edit RGB conversion' button found on the ARTS PDF Crackerjack 'Color' panel (File > ARTS PDF Crackerjack > ARTS PDF Crackerjack > Color).

4. Is it possible to verify if all fonts are correctly embedded prior to printing?

If the preference for checking non-embedded fonts is enabled (Edit > Preferences > ARTS PDF Crackerjack), ARTS PDF Crackerjack will verify that all fonts in the current document are embedded before printing. If ARTS PDF Crackerjack finds that a font is not embedded, but that it exists on the current system, it will print normally by including the system font in the output. If the non-embedded font cannot be found on the system, ARTS PDF Crackerjack will interrupt output to allow you to make a decision on what to do.

5. What does the 'Auto-size Media' feature do and what is it used for?

When the 'Auto-size Media' feature (File > ARTS PDF Crackerjack > ARTS PDF Crackerjack > Media) is checked, ARTS PDF Crackerjack will automatically set a media size which matches the current PDF page size plus any extra amounts specified by the 'Border' parameter. Checking this box causes the list of media sizes in the Media box to become disabled. If a multi-page PDF document contains different page sizes and/or orientations, ARTS PDF Crackerjack will adjust the media size for each page during output. This feature is particularly useful when ARTS PDF Crackerjack Pilot is used, since you need not create multiple pilot folders to accommodate different media sizes.
