8.2.8.4. OPI
This panel allows the user to create, view, or alter the OPI information for an image.
Upon confirmation, this information will update the appropriate OPI information
stored inside the PDF.
Figure 87. OPI Panel
Note: Editing images with OPI information is potentially an exercise in futility since the
purpose of OPI is to replace the image in the PDF with one on the OPI server at print time.
One possible reason for doing so would be to prepare a PDF for use on-screen with low
resolution, RGB images which would still print “correctly” to a high-end device if an OPI server
with high quality images is used.
“Use OPI Info” determines whether or not the selected image will use OPI comments.
OPI Version specifies whether you want to use OPI version 1.3 or 2.0 compliance for
the OPI comments.
The “Hi-res Image” box is designated for entry of the entire external high-resolution
file path name. If an external high-resolution file has not yet been included, the edit
box is empty. Otherwise the full path and file name appears here. The “Set” button,
which launches the standard system “Specify File” dialogue box, can be used to
specify the path and file name. The Image feature will attempt to verify the
existence of this file. If it finds it, nothing happens.
If it does not find it, a “caution” (yellow triangle with “!” in it) sign will appear at the
left of the file name. This may or may not indicate an error since prepress and
printing may occur at different sites that do not share the same network.
