How to merge colour-separated PostScript into full-colour PDF?

Hi there
I have a PostScript file that consists of four pages, one for each of the CMYK colour separations. I’d like to merge these pages into a single full-colour page. Any ideas on how to do this?
Creating a new PDF in Acrobat or with Distiller creates the four-page PDF. I’m sure I could figure out how to do it with PhotoShop, but I don’t want to rasterise it and I’d like to work out how to do it efficiently, as I’ll need to do this to a whole lot of other files as well.
I’d appreciate any advice or pointers to other resources. I’ve haven’t found much at all in my searching.

There is no direct way to do this with any Adobe products. You are effectively trying to undo the separation process that created the pages you have. To do this other than via rasterization with Photoshop would require software that could analyze each of the objects on each of the separations and combine matching text, vector, and raster objects back into single objects with the color values taken from the separations.
Conceivably you could make each page into a layer and turn on overprint for absolutely all objects in each layer, although this would yield a rather awkward PDF file that might not give you the results you are looking for.

  • How to merge two movies documents into 1 in  iTunes?

    Can anyone tell me how to merge two movies documents into one in iTunes? Sorry maybe this is an easy and dumb question for you, but I have totally no idea. I download some movies in Windows and use Kigo Video Coverter to converte them into mp4 format. So I can watch it through new Apple TV in my big screen TV. Now I am thinking maybe I can upgrade my experience a bit more. Because some movies are downloaded into 2 or 3 separated document and I have to choose and click them while seeing. Is there any software can merge those separated documents into one single in mp4 format? I wish you could give me several to choose . Freeware is better. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. I've tried simplemovies application but it seems too much complicated for me. I read some passages online and bought Quicktime Pro ($30) and finally link 2 mp4 documents together. So easy. Only issue is I have to pay $ 30 .

  • HT204414 how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

    Can anyone tell me how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

    How many did you trash at one go? iPhoto will baulk and possibly corrupt if you try trash too many at one go. Expereinced users recommend getting rid of them in batches of about 100 or so.
    What's your plan for the remaining images in the iPhoto Library (the 2k photos and 4 videos)?

  • How to merge iPhoto v2 libraries into one iPhoto v11 library

    Hi,
    I just are going through a major upgrade from my iBook dual USB (500 MHz Power PC G3, OS 10.4.11) to my brand-new MacBook Pro (2.3 GHz core I5, OS 10.6.8).
    As my old iBook was running so slow, I had splitted my libraries into two using IPhoto Library Manager some years ago running with iPhoto 2. Now I need to merge these two libraries into one and then transfer it to my new computer and let iPhoto 11 upgrade the library at once.
    Based on very helpful earlier threats, I intend to follow the process below:
    Merge libraries using iPhoto Library Manager (registered version) to get one library (on my old computer)
    Copy this library into the Pictures folder of my new computer
    Open iPhoto (shift key will give me the option to select if needed) and it will automatically upgrade my library.
    So far so good - but I experience one issue I did not manage to solve. I use iPhoto Library Manager version 3.5.2 on my old computer, but after starting the merging process it tells me I need iPhoto version 4 at least; but I have version 2 only. I guess I cannot use iPhoto version 11 on my new computer as I first need to merge the libraries as old versions, as the iPhoto version 11 cannot work with the not yet upgraded libraries, can it? I have the IPhoto Library Manager registered version 3.6.8 installed on my new machine.
    Before I make a major mistake to my pictures (> 20 GB): is it possible to upgrade both old libraries separately in iPhoto v11 and then merge them in iPhoto v11?
    Many thanks for your advice!
    Best regards,
    Markus

    Rename the second iPhoto 2 library to something other that iPhoto Library and put it in the Pixtures folder next to the other library on your new MBP.  Then open it with iPhoto11 to convert.
    Once both are converted to the same version you can use iPLM to merge them into a new library.
    HOWEVER if you don't care about any metadata you might have in your last iPhoto 2 library you can use    SyncPhotos
    to import the photos in your iPhoto 2 library into your iPhoto 11 library.
    Here's how it works: 
    1 - it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B. 
    2 - the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.  
    3 - it then does the same for B. 
    4 - metadata is not copied. 
    It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library.

  • How to merge two storage drives into one partition-help

    THis is on an iPad-Please excuse for any typos
    I Am working on a project of restoring a macbook pro from old parts that I found. It works!!! But the HDD that i salvadged is ancient and gets about .15 MBPS. Not good. Its an apple certified and apple branded toshiba HDD-500G at 5400RPM. Yeah. *****
    I am considering buying a new hard drive as a 480GB SSD, and using OWC's Data doubler, adding a second HDD, for all the photos and vids i will be collecting through my work in video and photo. I am considering getting an SSHD (SSD+HDD in an SSD form factor) and using this as the second drive. its not much more expensive (like 10$ more) and itgetsme semi-SSD like performance on a mass scale of storage.
    HOw can I combine these two drives into ONE partition? 480GB will take awhile to fill up, but this is a future proof wall to use.
    I Will eventually invest in an external storage option (2-3 HDDS in one caddy for backups and storing 1080p video all under one roof. depends if the board im using actually has thunderbolt or usb that is fast enough-because of the crappy hdd i cant get it to boot into an OS or go through usb recovery without it freezing. I ahve tried re-applying thermal paste, still doesnt help)
    HOw can i easily partition these two drives into one?
    also, my friend needs a new HDD because bootup times in his macbook pro are at like 2 mins+ and hes running Core 2 Duo, with 8 G ram and 10.9 (Mav) should i recommend an SSHD or an ssd. (He doesnt want an HDD, hes had bad 'voodoo' with em'. Thanks!

  • Stepper motor 8SMC1-USBhF and power meter PM100D: how to merge the two VIs into one and make a XY graph of the current position and the power

    Hi there,
    I have a stepper motor (8SMC1-USBhF) and a power meter (PM100D). I want to measure the power while the stepper motor is moving, and obtain an XY graph with the current position on x axis and the power on y axis. So I just merged the two VIs together by copying and pasting, and created local variables for current position and readout value, and changed them to read, and then linked them to the XY graph, but apparently it doesnt work.
    So could you please instruct me how to merge them and obtain an XY graph appropriately?
    Attached are the two VIs.
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    The XY graph requires that each datapoint on the X axis corresponds to a datapoint on the Y axis.  To create XY data you will need to creat two arrays of X data and Y data with the same amount of elements then cluster the two arrays together to wire into the XY graph.  As an example take a look at the VI snippet below.  Is there a specific error being thrown?

  • How to merge serveral layout files into one output file?

    Hi there!
    For my report, I need to get a datasheet with all the customer data from the database and I have to attach a second document - so I've created 2 files (rtf templates) within the layout section.
    But how can I now run my report and these files are merged to one?
    Thank you!
    BR
    Lena

    Hi Lena,
    Have you tried to combine the RTF templates into one template?
    You could use subtemplates or define the contents/logic from your second template into the main template by creating the template like:
    <?template:Template2?>
    your second template logic here
    <?end Template2?>
    And within the main template, you call this <?call@inlines:Template2?>
    Hope this helps.

  • How to merge different comp track into one comp track?

    Hi
    I use logic studio 9
    I have recorded two different comp tracks for lead singing of project
    And now I have two different tracks with a lot of takes to choose from in each one of them
    I would like to merge the two into one comp track with all the takes so it will be easier to edit
    Is there any way to do that?
    By the way, there is no reason why I made 2 tracks for the same singing part. Now it seems to be a mistake...
    Thank you very much

    Hi
    Basically, you need to unpack one (or both) sets of Take Folders, and then merge the two together:
    Working on the basic assumption (for discussion purposes) that you have two tracks, each with Take Folders on them.
    Method 1:
    Select each Take Folder on track 2 and click-hold on the arrow top right of the folder. Choose Upack to new tracks. Carefully select the new regions and drag/drop them onto the Take Folders on Track 1.
    Method 2
    Unpack ALL Take  folders on both tracks, Select all the regions and use the Region:Folder:Pack Take Folder function to re-pack into a new Take.

  • How to merge iPhoto 09 Lib into an iPhoto 08 Lib?

    Hi there,
    I recently went on vacation and took my MBP (10.6.4) in which iPhoto 09 is installed. All the vacation photos were stored in the MBP and now I would like to transfer them to my G4 MDD (10.4.11) with iPhoto 08 installed.
    Is there an article that explains the method(s) if at all possible? I took both, RAW and JPEGs.
    Thank you very much for any feedback that you may provide,
    Jacobo

    If you want to include the metadata select Kind=JPEG, JPEG Quality=Maximum, Size=Full Size and check the two boxes for the metadata.
    To retain the Events you'll have to export Event by Event, each going into it's own folder on the Desktop.

  • How to merge three SQL packages into one package?

    Dear Folks, I have three sql pacakges (1d.pks, 1d.pkb , 2d.pks, 2d.pkb, 3d.pks, and 3d.pkb). Each package has slight different code in their body but I need to combine all them into one single package. I can do this manually by comparing each line of code and keep making changes but I was wondering if there is an easier way to do it. Kindly let me know if you need more information. Thanks in advance.

    If you have three pieces of code in any language that do similar things, you would want to refactor them, pulling out common elements into reusable components. It is no different with PL/SQL. Most of the effort in refactoring code goes into figuring out what those reusable components are and figuring out the appropriate interface for those components. Any reasonable IDE will provide you tools that automate the tedious bits of refactoring-- renaming variables, breaking a section of code out as a separate procedure, etc. But since 90% of the work is identifying what and how to refactor the code not in the mechanical task of implementing the actual refactoring, the benefit of using an IDE are not huge-- it's often just as easy to cut and paste in your favorite text editor.

    It actually depends on your requirement(a standard answer from any SAP guy).
    Coming back to the question at hand:
    a) Can we merge these files ? My question to you :
    i) Are you downloading these to your presentation server from application server using WS_DOWNLOAD(I am using 4.5B) or CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD ?
    ii) What holds you back ?
    b) How do we parse multiple files contained in a single file ?
    Keep a delimiter which is unique only for file endings. That should do the trick.
