In this article you will learn
- which requirements must be met to carry out this Fixup and
- how to apply the Fixup.
1. Introduction
The Fixup Remove BX and EX Entries is available in the Workflow. The aim of this Fixup is to remove these entries. Page operators that are bracketed by BX and EX can be ignored by a PDF display program if it is not supported.
2. General
The Fixup Remove BX and EX Entries can be used to remove just such entries. If programs want to embed operators in a PostScript code that are not part of the current specification, this can be done using the BX and EX operator. The incompatible operators must be located within the BX and EX operator. Everything within BX and EX will be read and executed by the interpreter, but recognizing an unknown operator will not lead to a PostScript error.
Find the Fixup in the Data Preparation tab of an Article, Order or Production Job by
- entering the name of the Fixup in the Filter area,
- activating the option Page Content in the Category area,
- activating the option Delete in the Action area,
3. Description
This Fixup can be used to remove BX and EX entries in the page description. This only removes entries in the PDF that are suppressed during rendering. For some PDF files, this could eliminate non-existent Spot Color entries. You can therefore use this Fixup without restrictions, as eliminating does not delete any content that is required for printing.
