Known bugs and limitations in 3.50
- To have PDF layers recognized when imported by Import PDF, Esko PDFs must be created with Automation Engine 16 and above
If values are set for Dot Calibration and Bump, both values will get applied, even though only one value is selected. You must set the unused value to 0 to prevent it from being applied.
PDFs containing Text objects tagged with Object Screening fail to Refine in Prinergy. If the text object is converted to outlines before applying Object Screening, the file will refine without an issue.
