TROUBLESHOOTING

For best results, do not scale the images at print time, or your image quality may be substantially degraded.

Why is it that when I insert a PostScript file into DSM, it 

converts to an Adobe PDF file?

RDO documents do not directly support PostScript files. 

Only TIFF, JPEG, and Adobe PDF files are directly 

supported in DSM.

How can I get an Adobe PDF file into an RDO in DSM?

Insert it! This version of DigiPath supports inserting an 

Adobe PDF. You can convert it to a TIFF using Acrobat, or 

insert a native Adobe PDF file into an RDO. 

Why can I open an RDO in Document Scan and 

Makeready, but I am unable to edit it?

When opening an RDO, clear the Open as read only 

check box in the Open dialog box.

What is the best way to apply tabs to certain pages of an 

existing RDO?

Refer to the section on tabs earlier in this Quick Reference 

Guide. 

What is the best way to create a NEW signature RDO in 

which the paper size of the originals I scan will be the 

same as the paper size of the finished signature? 

(Example: I have 8.5 x 11 originals, and I need to create a 

signature document that will be printed on 8.5 x 11 paper 

stock. So the images must be scaled to 5.5 x 8.5.)

In DSM, create a new RDO using the Signature wizard. 

Mark the Auto-Fit check box in the Signature wizard to 

automatically scale the images to the correct page size.

What is the best way to create a signature RDO using 

existing electronic files?

1.

In DSM, create a new RDO using the Signature wiz-
ard.

2.

Insert the desired files (TIFF, JPEG, PostScript, or 

Adobe PDF). 

3.

Select the book icon in the Document Structure 

window.

4.

Scale all the images in the RDO at one time, by 

selecting [Graphics: Scale]. Define the page frame 

size of your RDO.
