Because Adobe PDF Print Engine is a PDF RIP, files remain in PDF
throughout processing. The RIP does not consume PostScript objects,
and it does not flatten PDF files to PostScript before processing, like
CPSI RIP does.
Adobe PDF Print Engine provides the following advantages over CPSI
RIP:
●
Adobe PDF Print Engine accurately handles files with native
transparency without flattening. If a file exposes a problem in the
flattener or in CPSI RIP, Adobe PDF Print Engine can handle the file
correctly.
●
Adobe PDF Print Engine’s rendering of fonts is more like Adobe
Acrobat’s rendering of fonts.
●
Adobe PDF Print Engine correctly renders text that is located below
transparent images. Occasionally, when low-resolution proofs are
rendered by CPSI RIP, the text appears fatter due to the flattening
that occurs in CPSI. Because Adobe PDF Print Engine does not
flatten, it does not have this problem.
Adobe PDF Print Engine has the following disadvantages:
●
Adobe PDF Print Engine cannot process PDF files containing
embedded PostScript objects, including pages that were processed
with PostScript bypass or with OPI bypass features of Prinergy.
●
In some cases, Adobe PDF Print Engine processes copydot data and
separated pages more slowly than CPSI RIP.

Pinging a remote Prinergy server
If Workshop cannot connect to the primary server even after you enter
the IP address manually, use the ping utility to determine whether the
IP address is accessible.
When you log in, in the Connect to Prinergy Server dialog box, in the
Primary host box, you may need to manually enter the IP address of the
primary server. The network broadcast that Workshop normally uses
