Adobe Illustrator software
Prinergy 5.2 and later support Illustrator CS3, CS4, and CS5 for use with the
PDF File Editor.
Adobe Acrobat software
Prinergy supports Acrobat software versions 8, 9, and X. It is your
responsibility to acquire and install the number of Acrobat licenses needed
for client workstations. Install the Acrobat software on each Mac or
Windows workstation before installing Workshop, to ensure that the Kodak
plug-ins for Adobe Acrobat software are in the correct folders.
Note: The Kodak Prinergy Powerpack software is bundled with one Acrobat
software license.
Prinergy includes several Kodak plug-ins for Acrobat, as well as Adobe
Distiller job options. These plug-ins and job options are automatically
installed when you install Prinergy Workshop. Kodak plug-ins for earlier
versions of Acrobat are not removed during a Prinergy Workshop upgrade,
but they will not be updated or supported in the future.
Note: The Floating License Manager (FLIM), which allows a particular
number of users to share the same license, controls the number of
concurrent users. Some plug-ins do not require a license.
Take these precautions
Ensure that the version of the RIP used to proof and approve content is
the same version that is used to make final output.
Proofs and plates—When upgrading to a version of Prinergy where the
RIP components have been upgraded, be careful when plating jobs that
were proofed with the old RIP. Because the RIPs are different, an
interpretation difference may occur between proof and plate. Ideally,
jobs should be plated with the same version of Prinergy that was used
to generate the proofs. Hub and spoke configurations should
coordinate when performing upgrades to ensure that they are using the
same RIP.
Reprints—To reprint jobs that were printed using an older RIP, rerun
proofs using the new RIP. This ensures that there are no unforeseen
differences between the original press run and the reprint.
Adobe PDF Print Engine—Prinergy includes Adobe PDF Print Engine,
the PDF RIP from Adobe Systems Inc.
