Tailor for Mac OS can be used in conjunction with OPEN, the Luminous workflow solution, to automatically clean up and streamline PostScript files in batch.
PostScript files processed by Tailor :
• contain conforming DSC 3.0 comments
=> trapping or impositioning solutions need these comments to operate correctly
• contain clean, streamlined PostScript
=> in many cases, trapping time is substantially reduced
Files in this "Tailor 2.0.8 OPEN-aware" kit
The distribution kit contains two folders: 'With embedded script' and 'With external script'.
To install Tailor as OPEN-aware application, use the 'With embedded scripts' folder and refer to the section 'Installing the Tailor OPEN-aware kit'. To modify the behaviour of Tailor in the OPEN pipeline (using AppleScript), use the files in the 'With external script' folder and refer to the section 'Adjusting Tailor's OPEN-aware AppleScript'.
