When the .rmf key file appeared, I decided to take a look at it in BBEdit. Much to my surprise, the .rmf is a text only file which contains urls for hosting the pdf and keyfiles, passwords and other information. Could this type of information be used to hack into ebook servers? Or could it be used to change or/disable the security settings allowing one to view the downloaded ebook on other machines? I'm not a hacker, but this looks like it could cause trouble. david -- David Doonan ddoonan1@nycap.rr.com david_doonan@wordman.com http://www.MohillDesign.com http://home.nycap.rr.com/dadoonans Greenwich, New York . . . .. . . the best small town in the world! ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2-Jan-2000 2:17:05-GMT,3059;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA22461 for ; Sat, 1 Jan 2000 19:17:04 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA16907; Sat, 1 Jan 2000 20:04:56 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sat, 1 Jan 2000 20:00:34 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA16641; Sat, 1 Jan 2000 20:00:28 -0600 Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 18:00:02 -0800 (PST) From: Tom Mornini Message-Id: <200001020200.SAA13422@sun630mp.infomania.com> To: pdf-l@emrg.com, tmornini@sun630mp.infomania.com Subject: [PDF] ANNOUNCE - PDF in Prepress mailing list!

PDF has a proven track record and appears to be here for a long time yet.

Can the same claims be made of the other technologies you mention?

Also keep in mind that whatever advantages other technologies have over PDF, may not be advantages for very long given the impressive rate of PDF development, a giant corporate backbone like Adobe, and the astounding rate of growth PDF has.

I feel you should be considering more than just the strengths of each technology since their weaknesses can often times be the real killer.

As for which will be the winner, I think both will, in their respective markets, PDF and XML although can share some functionality, they are hardly designed to be competing technologies. The need for document creation, data management and delivery is far too big to be satisfied by one technology alone.

As for being too expensive...that all depends on your budget.

The current Acrobat Capture engine, both for the standalone Acrobat Capture 2.01 product and the Capture plug-in to Acrobat 4.05 do not allow zoning prior to OCR processing. Other products, such as Scansoft's TextBridge, Paravision's PageGenie, and PrimeRecognition support both pre-OCR zoning and PDF output.

Last week, "Alice" created a PDF file from a 27kb Word document; the PDF file was 175kb. She asked me for help. I created a PDF from the same file by unticking most of the options (there are no links, bookmarks, headings, hrefs) and selecting screen optimize (I think for 4.0, but I'm not sure); my PDF file was 9 kb. The word document is a table, about 1/3 of a page, with some text and some underline characters and a single graphic. Today, Alice added two lengths of underline characters. To create the PDF, she did what I said I did, and her PDF file was 164 kb. I tried to repeat what I did last week (and Alice says the options I selected are the same as what she selected). My options were still unticked from last week. My PDF file today is 137kb. Every time I have tried to recreate the PDF today, it's been 137kb (I tried screen optimize, and screen optimize 4.0). The picture is much fuzzier than in the 9kb file from last week. What could have happened to make the file sizes different with the same options selected on two different machines, and with the same options on two different days? What would make the PDF file so much larger than the Word document? How can I get back to creating a 9kb document?

I had been running with Average downsampling at 72dpi for colour and grayscale bitmap images, medium quality, imbed fonts not ticked, convert colours to RGB, preserve transfer functions (whatever that is), and some of the advanced options ticked. I left my page width at 612. I had also been running with the Screen Optimized, but I tried to follow your instructions exactly (except for page width and since mine was smaller, I thought that should be ok). I wasn't able to save my own options in the original file (looks like the same applies to you), and had to tell it to save the .ps file and open it in Distiller to get it to use the new option file, since it doesn't show that in PDFMaker in Word. The PDF file it created in with its own print optimized settings (created while I was getting a .ps file to use with the new setting) was 164kb. In the meantime, I sent the file to Adobe's Create a PDF online; their file was 141 kb. And their picture looked worst of all the versions. My 9kb file from last week still is the best looking. * ^ * ^ * Wendy Cutler Project Co-ordinator, Application Devl & Support ITB, Ministry of Social Development and Economic Security * mailto:Wendy.Cutler@gems2.gov.bc.ca *(604) 660-1591 Fax: (604)775-0846 -----Original Message----- From: Jason Belec [mailto:pdfworkflows@home.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 4, 2000 2:34 PM To: Cutler, Wendy SDES:EX Subject: Re: [PDF] Word=>PDF results in different file sizes, larger than Word doc Try the settings for Distiller in the images I've attached, and let me know what size you get.

We believe we're seeing a trend in how business environments work and function. In the old days, business environments existed with one major model in place (e.g., COBOL, MVS, IMS, AT&T 'pulse' dialing; to name a few), and that model changed every few years (that good old fashioned 'paradigm shift' we all knew and loved ); everyone got used to the new model and things settled down until it was time to shift again. The time between shifts got progressively shorter, though. Today we're seeing a business environment where multiple models co-exist. Companies no longer have the luxury of only going with one model; they are driven (usually by client demand) to implement multiple models at the same time (see, for example, the article "Co-opting Customer Competence" in the Jan.-Feb. issue of the Harvard Business Review). Look at examples including TelCo usage, host vs. C/S architectures, employee types (i.e., perm vs. consultant), EBPP models and... especially in the Internet age... how people can access and use the Internet. What we are recommending to our customers for them to be able to compete in today's and tomorrow's markets (especially over the Internet) is the ability to be flexible and provide multiple models to your customers - because they're going to demand multiple models, and if you don't provide it, they will go to someone else who will - i.e., your competition. We’re seeing this especially in very highly competitive markets such as banking, securities and brokerages (i.e., the classic ‘financial’ markets) and moving into other markets such as TelCos, insurance, and utilities (largely driven in these markets, we believe, by deregulation). Your technical issues about PDF vs. XML are perfectly correct. I generally agree with all of them. I believe XML will become more accepted as more Browsers support it (just as, for example, Flate compression in PDF became more acceptable as people moved from Viewer 2.0 to 3.0). Which will win? In my opinion, neither... they both have technical advantages and disadvantages over the other, and I can make up compelling business cases for each... but I believe in the long term you will have to deliver both (and HTML, OFX, CSV... and XYZ format that we don't know about yet [but check with the W3C at www.w3.org for a preview]) in order to attract new customers, reduce existing customer churn, and in general survive in the market. Is this a challenge? Absolutely. How to deliver all this without going broke, and with a short staff while recruiting is tighter than I've seen it in two decades... that's the challenge facing our customers today. And the challenge facing us as a vendor - is how to deliver products to our customers that provide these multiple model solutions. Part of my job as CTO is to research, architect, develop, and offer products that allow our customers to implement multiple models simultaneously without breaking them financially. It's part of the fun and excitement of working with early adopters in a 'bleeding edge' environment, which is largely where PDF has been the past few years (and continues to be with PDF 1.3) and where XML is now. I’d be happy to further discuss this with you offline... I'm pleased to provide technical and business opinions in this venue (also known as "IMHO") but prefer to leave the sales part to our sales people.

Autocad -> DXF -> EPS -> PDF This way you will maintain the vector information in the Acad file the whole way to PDF. For DXF->EPS conversion I believe you can use Illustrator or Freehand.

Under options for export, you should find them. The best quality images usually result from the use of postscript files. When you plot or "print to file" you might be able to get one from acad. As for easy, it's pretty easy except I don't know if there is a way for you to output the file from autoCAD in a batch in order to increase speed and efficiency. Once you have created your .ps or .plt files, you can drop them in Distiller in batch, of course.

For keeping data (records, etc.), the Information Industry invented DataBase. But for many years, documents such as your letters (probably in *.doc), presentation files, etc. have been kept in proprietary formats and causing major problems for IT to manage and integrate. XML is our best hope to finally unite the standard for documents. Soon we will see all (most) office application embracing XML. (e.g. Envision your Office Suite applications share the same XML format.) XML is the biggest thing since SQL/RDBMS for corporate IT integration and expansion. We are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately because it is so new, XML is not very well understood by most IT professionals. XML is way more then a format. It is a vision, movement, and direction all IT should move into sooner than later. You cannot say this about PDF (which is an extremely powerful format for printability but certainly NOT capable of many advantages XML could bring.) Again, XML and PDF are two formats hence two different environments and serving different purposes. For PDF, you pretty much are in the hands of Adobe and have limited use of your documents for your future needs. XML gives you the freedom for the future but the environment is far from complete, so you need to grow with the environment (application tools). Go to any major vendor site (IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, etc....) and search for XML. You will have a good feeling of the tremendous momentum behind the XML initiative.

I used the movie tool to insert the QuickTime video in the pdf program and have stored all the video in a separate folder within the program. I've burned a CD of the file that I created and it plays back fine on my Win98 system and another Win98 system in my office but the video will not play on a Win95 or Mac system. I receive an error that says that the "video file cannot be found, and do I want to browse for a replacement?" To view the video on these systems I have to browse for the video file in the folder on the CD and then it will play back. On a Win95 laptop that has acrobat 3.0 sometimes the video will play but then there is no audio, or the other way around, and some files receive the "video file cannot be found" error. I created the pdf in Acrobat 4.0 and my system has the latest version of QuickTime (Win95). There is no problem viewing the text pages or hearing the WAV sounds that are also in the files. Any ideas? I've called Adobe three times and I am supposed to receive a call back from their "level 2" support people, but still no call back or answers to my question. Any suggestions? ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6-Jan-2000 6:13:11-GMT,6395;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA22617 for ; Wed, 5 Jan 2000 23:13:10 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id XAA13628; Wed, 5 Jan 2000 23:55:52 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 5 Jan 2000 23:52:12 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA13408; Wed, 5 Jan 2000 23:52:10 -0600 X-Sender: prodok@pop.eunet.ch Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <6031CF804B89D111B9F00020AFD0D9A60FF4A9@PARAV_SERVER> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 06:37:09 +0100 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Max Wyss Subject: Re: [PDF] PDF or XML/XSL: for different purposes Cc: Vincent Huang Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Vincent, sorry to spit in your soup, but most of that message is essentially vendor hype. XML is essentially a lightweitght subset of SGML. SGML is so powerful and universal that it has been beyond the normal vendor's and IT peopole's capabilities. Implementing SGML requires a lot of preliminary analysis and thinking, which makes it rather expensive. This analysis and thinking has been done for a rather generic environment, and its result is now named XML. ...which does not say that XML is useless ... not at all. BUT XML still requires the user to think when creating documents. There is no way the application can add structure to a document when the user does not already do it. Imagine someone using only the "standard" style in MessyWord, and manually modify it. There is no information about the function of a specific paragraph in the document, therefore, even the smartest software can not reliably say what the actual function is... So, it is a big illusion to believe that all the problems were solved with XML output. When the user is not doing his job, the software can maybe produce something which conforms formally to the XML specification, which in other words looks right, but is essentially useless. Yes, with databases it is a bit different, as there is already some structure available, because the database had to be set up in some way, and some structure had to be given to the data. Right now, PDF and XML look as they have two different orientations (PDF is document-oriented, XML is structure oriented). However, the PDF 1.3 specifications contain structure information, and I would not be surprised, if the structure part of the PDF would somehow follow the XML specifications. As for the practical differences between the formats, the most important one is that on the document level, PDF can ensure the _contents_ integrity of the document (the presentational integrity, meaning the appearance, is just a side effect of the contents integrity. When something happens to the document, it becomes noticeable (for example by error messages or by errors validating the creators signature, etc.). XML does not care at all about the document's contents integrity, as long as the structure remains as is, and the tags are properly set. XML is a great thing, but it has a very good chance to become one of the most misunderstood concepts around.

Same sort of bug. Well, who could have predicted the year 2000 would arrive so soon?? There is a fix for the Unix versions of Distiller, but no other - or rather, the fix is 4.0. Acrobat 4.05 will apparently display the corrected date (it is possible to work out what was intended and allow for it).

To reply first to your note, Jason, I just distilled with JPEG - pdf file was 268kb! from the 30kb Word document. Picture was nice and clear, though. Just to be clear - the 16 kb PDF is fine; I'm not trying to improve on that. I've been trying to reproduce it, so that if we have to add a line to the form, we can get a new PDF of it. I wish you could tell me more about this broken up image. We haven't changed it in the Word document from the time Alice created the large pdf, I created the tidy pdf, and now we're creating the large one. Where is it getting broken up and what can we do about it in Word or Acrobat? I don't want to get into the PhotoShop option; that wasn't required before, and I just want to do whatever it was that worked that one time. BUT - you did get me on the right path. I removed the picture: pdf was 5 kb. Whew! I copied the picture into Paint Shop Pro, saved it as a new (4kb)jpg, replaced the picture in the Word document: pdf is 16 kb. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I still think adding a 4 kb picture to a 5 kb pdf should result in the 9 kb I got the first time, not 16 kb, but I can work on that. * ^ * ^ * Wendy Cutler Project Co-ordinator, Application Devl & Support ITB, Ministry of Social Development and Economic Security * mailto:Wendy.Cutler@gems2.gov.bc.ca *(604) 660-1591 Fax: (604)775-0846 (I'm including these previous messages, since they were not posted on the list) -----Original Message----- From: Jason Belec [mailto:pdfworkflows@home.com] Sent: Thursday, January 6, 2000 4:23 AM To: Cutler, Wendy SDES:EX Subject: Re: [PDF] Word=>PDF results in different file sizes, larger than Word doc Well, just to scare you... The file you just sent does not have the broken up image of the tree! It is also an impressive 16K, you can only get a files actual size from the closed file using GetInfo on the Mac, or Right click for Properties on PC (I think.. I'm rusty). Note that you may have been mistaken or viewed the wrong data for the 9k, just a guess. However 16k is great. As for the RGB colour popping up, Microsoft doen't know a thing about colour. What they tell you, you are looking at and what it really is are two totally different worlds. Don't worry that's what Pitstop/Photoshop or Box of Tricks are for, fixing these terrible oversites. I'll play around some more and let you know if I can better the 16K.

(And why does Adobe, maker of PDF, not issue all these tips in PDF? Does Adobe not realise that here in Europe we pay (very high) telecoms charges by the minute in addition to ISP charges. It costs us money to download HTML page and images page by page - or print each page to PS, then distill and merge in Exchange/Acrobat off-line... downloading one PDF to read off-line is so much more cost effective.) Now the PDF point, all PDFs created by web capture in Acrobat 4.0 give the following text in a yellow box after the Adobe menu header... "To view these pages properly, and to shop in our store, your browser needs to support JavaScript. This may mean that you need to upgrade to Netscape Communicator 4.0 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. Also, in your browser Preferences, enable JavaScript. Please see our error page for more information." I left this message as feedback on the Adobe site some time ago, but with no response so far. (And I'm using Netscape 4.51 with JavaScript enabled). Is this something that is fixed in Acrobat 4.05? which I'm also waiting for. Does anybody else experience this 'Javascript' error? And can someone in Adobe *please* tell the web folks there to demand PDF versions of the tips for us in Europe, you can still keep the HTML pages for the cheap communications in the USA. best regards Ian -- ipblythe@ieee.org Consultant, Technical Writer, UK expat in France ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6-Jan-2000 21:38:05-GMT,3292;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA11992 for ; Thu, 6 Jan 2000 14:38:04 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id PAA14812; Thu, 6 Jan 2000 15:24:44 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 6 Jan 2000 15:22:48 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id PAA14658; Thu, 6 Jan 2000 15:22:47 -0600 From: "Aandi Inston" To: Subject: RE: [PDF] Web capture on Adobe Site with Acrobat 4.0 Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2000 21:16:09 -0000 Message-ID: <000101bf588b$4158cba0$510b83c1@gateway.quite.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 In-Reply-To: <3.0.6.32.20000106210800.00877ba0@aix.pacwan.net> Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ > Now the PDF point, all PDFs created by web capture in Acrobat 4.0 > give the following text in a yellow box after the Adobe menu header... > > "To view these pages properly, and to shop in our store, > your browser needs to support JavaScript.

It is the browser in this sense. It doesn't support the JavaScript from web pages, and realistically may never be able to, because JavaScript in a web page can change the whole appearance of the page; something that you can't do with a PDF. In this case, much of the site seems to be visible, so you are in luck. The subject of whether Adobe should have adopted these technologies for their web site, locking out certain users, is an interesting one. It is not clear cut, because after all it is a live demonstration of the abilities of another Adobe product (GoLive). Perhaps we'd better not get started on that subject, it is sadly off topic.

This is an interesting problem. Post-it Notes are a type of annotation. In Acrobat 4.0 all annotations have "appearance streams". This is important. When Acrobat shows a page, it tries to show you all the annotations on the page. To do that, it first checks if there is a plug-in ready to display the annotation. This, in fact, happens most of the time. But if the plug-in is NOT there, the appearance stream is used so you can still see what the annotation looks like. It will be "dead" - just a picture with no interaction, but you'll still see it. And finally, if there is no appearance stream, you see a little question mark icon. Also: appearance streams are used when a PDF file is printed. The exact details of this are kind of fuzzy as that part never made it to the documentation. Consider Acrobat 3.0. It knew all about appearance streams, but didn't make any itself (except for form fields, which needed to print). Now, in Acrobat 4.0, appearance streams are made for everything. These work in 3.0. Hence: a cute little icon prints for each post-it note on the page. Unlike 4.0, there is no way to suppress this. (In 4.0, too, you cannot suppress appearance streams in the Export PS plug-in, which is unfortunate). It may seem strange that, through the whole time a team was sitting down and coding cute little icons for these post it notes, testing them, and seeing that they printed OK; that it didn't occur to anyone that there is almost no reason why anyone would ever want to print one of the things, and that they are nothing but a nuisance. But that's the way it sometimes is in large software development teams. Bad ideas have just as much momentum as good ones.

The contents per se is not that important (in fact, it does not really matter what is between those tags; that's why SGML and XML is suitable for a contents database).

Thus the problem I had is not a "minor" bug, it's rather a serious design mistake and I guess one cannot expect it would be fixed in 4.05. For my current documents, it's not a problem to copy a few dozens of post-it from 4.0 to 3.0, but I wonder how to behave in the future: either you don't take advantage of new features 4.0, or you give dirty documents to 3.0 users. Dirty in two ways : you cannot avoid printing all notes, and in addition notes are moved or disfigured while printing (like the note "stamp" I have just tested). A question more, Aandi : do you think the hidden_form_field_4 problem is also a problem of appearance stream ? I think such mistakes are serious about PDF credibility. A strength of PDF should be to ensure long term continuity to users. I have had a nightmare: president Gates and vice-president Warnock have ordered that "users who don't upgrade to new software versions within two weeks after official delivery are sentenced to death" ...

Occasionally I need to replace one of the pages in the PDF file. Sometimes (frequently, but not always) the replacement page has characters missing. None of the Adobe documents I have read which refer to this seem to provide a fix that works for me. It happens mainly with one font - Arial Black (Truetype), which is defined as "download as soft font" and "do not substitute" in Distiller assistant. What is odd is the the single page generated from the Word doc appears OK as a PDF, but when it is used to replace the original page in the main doc the problem appears, and sometimes when I re-open the single page doc, the problem now shows there too! I am sure it is something to do with Truetype fonts, as if I substitute it with a printer font, the problem disappears. I have tried changing the embedding and subsetting parameters in Distiller, with no effect. Incidentally other Truetype fonts also have the problem, but only very rarely. This is driving me CRAZY! Anyone who can come to my rescue will have my undying gratitude.

It shouldn't be. There is a forms plug-in in 3.0, so for screen display the appearance stream is not used. Only for printing. It may be a 3.0 bug - perhaps 4.0 does something correct (according to the rules of 3.0) but support for which is broken. This is the most difficult area to ensure compatibility. Programmers don't like being held back by old specifications; still less do they like being held back by old bugs. Always assuming the bugs are even known about.

Heres how you do it (in a nutshell). I just finished a project that runs Reader from CD and launches a particular file when the CD is inserted. I dug around and found a very useful PDF on the topic by a fellow named Mark Anderson, which I will paraphrase from here: In notepad, create a .inf file with the following three lines: [autorun] open=\Acrobat 4.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe mypdf.pdf defaulticon=\Acrobat 4.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe,1 (In other words, open= then the path to program.exe and the file name you want to open. The defaulticon= line determines the icon a user will see instead of the CD drive icon in Explorer and Windows folders) Save this file with the name autorun.inf and place it in the root (top level) directory of your CD when you burn. This config will launch Reader, then open mypdf.pdf. Obviously, you can substitute your own file name and folder hierarchy. It took me two weeks to hammer out the bugs, but I hope this helps.

If you want a Distiller alternative, there is always Ghostscript and PStill (sorry, writing this offline and don't have URL's handy) which are available for most major platforms. On the Mac, there is a new PDFWriter "clone" called PrintToPDF that might interest you.

In the early days of HTML, many people probably sneered at the idea that HTML would revolutionize the world. XML has a very decent chance of making it happen. Time would tell. 2. Granted XML is NOT a "single" format (every company/industry could create many different "XML" for themselves same way companies created different DataBase structures) and may even create a lot of confusion among IT systems (similar to the way RDBMS created this huge burden of "interconnect" among different DBMS systems (some estimated as high as 40% of IT budget is spent on solving the mess of this problem) but it will form the foundation of future IT designs (hopefully this is not a dream.) 3. PDF spec is controlled by Adobe! Whether Adobe will listen to outside suggestions is a separate issue. 4. Obviously PDF has many good things that XML is unsuitable for (no argue here.) 5. Glad to know we are in agreement that: "All IT should move into XML (at least plan to) sooner than later." Vincent Huang http://www.pagegenie.com ========================== > XML is about liberalization of your documents for the future. > Interesting way of looking at it...but a bit too grandiose IMHO. XML is about providing a framework for structured data. You are REALLY dreaming if you think that XML is going to bring document file format standards...It MIGHT help in conversion issues, since perhaps you could go from one XML flavor to another more easier (perhaps even as easily as via an XSL-T (transformation) document), BUT it's not going to be the panacea of file formats. > XML is way more then a format. It is a vision, movement, and direction all > IT should move into sooner than later. > Now THAT I agree with! > For PDF, you pretty much are in the hands of Adobe and have limited use of > your documents for your future needs. > Bull! PDF is a fully open standard and there are many companies out there that have their own tools for working with PDF files, so that Adobe is completely out of the picture. ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8-Jan-2000 3:13:40-GMT,2606;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA23198 for ; Fri, 7 Jan 2000 20:13:39 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA11617; Fri, 7 Jan 2000 20:58:00 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 7 Jan 2000 20:53:27 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA11293; Fri, 7 Jan 2000 20:53:26 -0600 Message-ID: <38755B35.FD60A769@worldnet.att.net> Date: Thu, 06 Jan 2000 21:19:17 -0600 From: George Hunter X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (Win95; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: Re: [PDF] PDF or XML/XSL: for different purposes References: <6031CF804B89D111B9F00020AFD0D9A60FF4A9@PARAV_SERVER> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Standards (XML/XSL) and de facto standards (PDF) have a way of adapting to change. It's called the market. Adobe won't sit by and let their flagship product die of old age.

Both Gif and Jpeg in the same file should not be a problem. You must consider that PDF does not use Gif. If there are Gif images in your original publication they will be converted to the PDF image format, and if your Gif is a contone image, then it may end up having Jpeg compression applied to it if your compression settings are not properly configured. The Acrobat online guide contains all you need to know about configuring compression settings.

It did raise some questions though. If I'm starting with a document with a gif, isn't the gif already compressed as much as I'd need? In this case, it's a 4kb gif. Why would I want Acrobat to do anything with it? And I suppose I have my answer - when I keep Acrobat from doing anything, the result is seven times better than when I have any compression options.

Both Gif and Jpeg in the same file should not be a problem. You must consider that PDF does not use Gif. If there are Gif images in your original publication they will be converted to the PDF image format, and if your Gif is a contone image, then it may end up having Jpeg compression applied to it if your compression settings are not properly configured. The Acrobat online guide contains all you need to know about configuring compression settings.

Different compression schemes offer differing amounts of compression depending on the content of the graphic. Gif better compresses images with a lot of flat colors. Jpeg deals better with contone images. "Con" "tone" stands for continuous tone. A typical photographic image is a contone image, so are images with a lot of organic content and those with a lot of gradients. > It did raise some questions though.

Gif only has one compression setting and it can't be controlled by the user. > In this case, it's a 4kb gif. Why > would I want Acrobat to do anything with it? Acrobat does not support the Gif format. PDF has it's own special image format that it uses for all images. Any Gif image you convert to PDF will get converted to the "PDF image format" and the Gif compression will be lost. That is why you need to involve yourself with compression settings, because Gif images will need to be re-compressed. If you turn off compression then the image will be much larger in your PDF file than in your original document. Acrobat has a special feature that automatically tries to determine what the best form of compression is for a graphic. It works well most of the time and most users need not concern themselves with making this choice. But in some cases it does select the wrong type of compression for your image. It's a complex issue so I won't drag you through it. Suffice it to say that in some cases you may need to manually configure the compression options to obtain the desired results. Your situation appears to be the opposite. You were applying the wrong compression scheme and it turned out Acrobat knew how to do it right on it's own. (-: And don't forget that with very small files (like 20 to 30 kb), their PDF counterparts will often be a bit larger because of the extra elements needed to make a functional PDF file. But as files get bigger and bigger in size, then PDF really shines and leaves everything else in the dust. In this day and age + or - 10 kb is rarely a consideration anymore.

When I replaced the image just now with the gif (same gif picture, but just to be SURE it was indeed the gif) and I did the conversion with the default screen optimized, or with no compression, or with compression using bicubic and zip (to stay away from the jpg), in all cases, the file size is back to 134kb or higher. So it must have been the jpg image that was in the file that on Friday I was able to get down to 15kb, but today using the same default settings, I got to 9kb. I agree that the difference between the 9kb, 15kb or 20kb was immaterial, except that the 9 and 15 used the same settings, so shouldn't it be more consistent than that!? Unfortunately, I'm back to where I was: wondering how to ever use a gif image in a Word document to be converted to pdf, wondering why I can get a pdf file size of 9kb when another user got 131kb on the same file with the same default options, and wondering if Word can manage to be screwing this up somehow. When this all started, I got the 9kb result on the same file on which she had gotten a 131 kb result. How did the image change from gif to jpg then? We don't even have the original image and she wasn't at work after she turned the problem over to me. I used the file from the same LAN location as she had been using. And then after I got the 9kb result, we both got 131kb+ results. We weren't messing with the image. But some times it's broken up into many smaller images and other times it isn't. And I think my starting file today WAS the one with the gif. You may have missed my first postings under a different topic line, but I had Adobe do the compile using its online service, and its pdf file was about 140kb and was very fuzzy. There seems to be something funny happening with pictures, either with Word or Acrobat.

Acrobat does not support the Gif format. PDF has it's own special image format that it uses for all images. Any Gif image you convert to PDF will get converted to the "PDF image format" and the Gif compression will be lost. That is why you need to involve yourself with compression settings, because Gif images will need to be re-compressed. If you turn off compression then the image will be much larger in your PDF file than in your original document. Acrobat has a special feature that automatically tries to determine what the best form of compression is for a graphic. It works well most of the time and most users need not concern themselves with making this choice. But in some cases it does select the wrong type of compression for your image. It's a complex issue so I won't drag you through it. Suffice it to say that in some cases you may need to manually configure the compression options to obtain the desired results. Your situation appears to be the opposite. You were applying the wrong compression scheme and it turned out Acrobat knew how to do it right on it's own. (-: And don't forget that with very small files (like 20 to 30 kb), their PDF counterparts will often be a bit larger because of the extra elements needed to make a functional PDF file. But as files get bigger and bigger in size, then PDF really shines and leaves everything else in the dust. In this day and age + or - 10 kb is rarely a consideration anymore.

The best way to look at things is from a PostScript and Non PostScript workflow approach. Applications like high end graphics packages or Desktop Publishing packages mostly use a PostScript workflow. The output from these apps is more closely related to the PDF format than the output from non PostScript apps like wordporcessors and typical office productivity apps. Acrobat has it's roots in PostScript. Therefore it is most compatible with PostScript. It has the ability to process some non Postscript files as well, but the chances of problems occurring with non PostScript files are greater. Applications are rarely the problem, rather it is the conversion from various non PostScript formats to PDF that tends to breed errors. If you haven't already done so you should read my article entitled "Wordprocessor to PDF blues" at this url: http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=331 It will fill you in on all the details of what I'm talking about. As has already been mentioned, OLE linking can have some strange effects sometimes. This is mainly due to how linked objects depend on their parent application for proper interpretation of the linked object. All I will say about this is that the problems caused by this are in no way Acrobat's fault. For example one common problem this causes with Wordperfect and linked spreadsheets of presentation graphics is that Wordperfect will attempt to interpret the linked object for printing instead of calling up the application that originally created it. In a great many cases this will result in your graphics looking very sloppy after conversion to PDF. I have even seen cases where vector objects could not be interpreted by Wordperfect so it very nastily converted them to bitmap images and ignorantly sent them off to Acrobat for conversion to PDF. Anyway I'm getting long winded.

Any other ideas? In the XPress preferences dialog there's a field to allow you to define what a 'point' is. The default entry is 1/72". If you change that to match what a point was in pre-electronic composition days then the output sometimes ends up scaled oddly. I must admit to being pedantic on some things, but the lack of a single, clear definition of an old-style point*, combined with the definition of the default user unit in PostScript as 1/72" has always persuaded me that using that value is best. * By far the most common is 1/72.27", but I've seen 1/72.35" and a couple of others.

This problem has long been acknowledged and is well documented. See the HP website for all the details.

Do tests on your own PDF documents and those you need to print. Compare printing speed (be sure to select PostScript level 2 to give PostScript a chance). Compare output quality of PDFs. If PCL is better and faster use it! Otherwise you may be able to successfully resist something which reduces productivity or degrades quality.

The PostScript option in these printers was expensive, which is why it is a curious decision to drop PostScript. However, IS departments are often happier supporting PCL drivers. PostScript drivers are FAR superior to PDF for printing from Acrobat, yet you are not using the right driver either! It may be possible to use the cost of PostScript as a lever to say it is either better, or it is a waste of money to abandon it. Which argument prevails, if either, depends on your corporate culture. However, I would strongly recommend using the right drivers - the HP 4siMX PostScript driver. You could agree with IS that it is better to use the right driver...then insist on that one.

The preferred method of configuring print queues and postscript drivers in the NT world is to define the print queues on the NT server with the Adobe 5.1 driver using the HP4Si PPD. Then the networked computers can merely attach/connect to the published print queues. If configured correctly all required files will be automatically downloaded to the workstation.

My question was, is there anything in the *Distiller GUI* or in *setdistillerparams* -- that is, anything a *user* as opposed to a *developer* can use -- to affect this? My impression is that Acrobat Distiller always creates thumbnails in DeviceRGB color space with 8 bits per pixel, at 72 dpi (?), using DCT (JPEG) compression. The example in the PDF 1.3 manual shows DeviceRGB color space. I'm very surprised that this question hasn't come up and been answered before. Thanks - L.

I like to avoid problems if I can... The City fonts are the ones which come out of the box with the Macintosh. For the most part they are close copies of other more-or-less well known fonts. Probably, the original reason for using these names and copies was to save on font licensing costs. Other examples are Chicago, Monaco, New York. Geneva is a close copy of Helvetica, I believe. These were originally pure poison for printing, since they only had screen resolution bitmaps. The Macintosh now has TrueType versions, so they print OK, but the bad reputation lingers on...helped by Apple choosing to restrict font embedding in some or all of them.

It was indeed the transparency and interlacing in the gif that caused the problem. I resaved the gif with no transparency, 87a and no interlacing, and the pdf file is 9kb. OK, it was 12 kb when Alice did it - I'm not going there. After she had it open, I did it again - still 9 kb. I hope this isn't a duplicate posting. I sent it originally at 11:39 am today but I don't see it posted. I've redone it so it doesn't look like most of it is forwarded, in case the original got caught by a program that traps short comments with long forwarding text. Here's Bryan's note - Wendy, Thanks for the files. Ok here's the deal. It's always so much easier to diagnose a problem when you have the actual patient in front of you since it is so much harder to diagnose a second hand account of a problem. Your problem is not at all obvious at first. I'll keep my explanation as simple as possible, although the solution may be a bit more difficult to implement depending on your situation. Your Oaktree.gif uses transparency to remove the background. It appears Word cannot deal with Gif transparency. I won't delve into transparency issues as they are extremely complex. Suffice it to say that Word is passing its inability to effectively deal with this onto PDF. Although the image "looks" ok in PDF, running a thorough diagnostic on the file reveals that the image has become a technical abomination, that has a great deal of potential for causing trouble for people attempting to view or print this file. I have seen these situations before and they always turn into hair pulling incidents. Another thing that seems to be playing hanky panky with things, but I have no way of verifying it except for the way Acrobat draws out the image on screen, is Gif interlacing. Interlacing is an effect that can be placed in Gif files to make them display more effectively in web pages. This effect is very likely built into you tree image. This is resulting in poor compression and the image being broken into hundreds of tiny pieces during the conversion to PDF. Interlacing is an undesirable element for this particular project. Possible remedies: 1) Least desirable solution. If you MUST do this file in Word (and I advise against it in the strongest possible way), it is essential that you get your tree image without any kind of transparency effect in it. The best graphic format for Word is .bmp. I would advise not using Gif if at all possible. 2) Slightly more desirable solution. Create this file with PowerPoint. In both of the above solutions it is absolutely essential that you secure a copy of the tree image WITHOUT transparency and WITHOUT interlacing, otherwise poor results are inevitable. 3) The best solution. Secure a copy of the tree graphic in EPS or TIFF format and design the file with a PostScript based desktop publishing application or high end graphics program like Pagemaker, Quark, Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw 9, or Canvas. To sum it all up, the problem is not with Word, and definitely not with PDF or Acrobat. The problem lies with the format of your image. As for your Jpeg image. Unfortunately the Jpeg format also allows for interlacing. If your Jpeg image is interlaced it will also produce undesirable results in PDF for the same reasons as the Gif file. the only difference is that the Jpeg version will be even more problematic than the Gif because this tree image is a poor choice of image for Jpeg compression. With such flat colors Jpeg compression can and often does INCREASE the size of the file rather than reduce it. It's very complex to explain so you'll just have to take my word for it unless you want to immerse yourself in the complex mathematics used in Jpeg compression. This is about the best help I can give you on such short notice with the limited info you have given me. In order to get off on the right foot with this project I suggest you start by securing an acceptable copy of the tree image. The two best formats are .eps and .tif, and then build your file in a PostScript application. Otherwise try to secure an uncompressed .bmp version and build the file in Powerpoint or as a means of last resort, use Word. Feel free to contact me again if you need more help.

If it's the same version of Word, no, I don't think they'd behave differently. But another thought struck me ... quite a few MS apps share a commmon set of graphics import filters. And if you install some other MS app after installing Office, it can overwrite Word's version of the filter with a different one. Sometimes they behave differently as well. It'd be worth looking at the file dates for the graphics filters. Word97, right? Look in . The GIF import filter would be GIFIMP32.FLT.

Indeed when I was diagnosing the file much of it appeared to be chopped up identically to the way interlacing applies its effect (very thin horizontal lines the whole width of the image), however I did notice some areas where these lines didn't go the whole width of the image (possibly accounting for transparent areas and opaque areas). Being in a bit of a rush I made nothing of this oddity, but now that you mention it, it's an interesting possibility. However why would it still chop up so thinly even the larger areas that are transparent or opaque instead of rendering then in the largest possible block of pixels? Could it perhaps even be a compound effect of both transparency and interlacing? It seems to fit a little bit of both criteria. > (which in turn draws in Exchange/Reader as though it were cold > diesel oil being forced through a very fine aperture.) Now that's a description to be proud of!! I couldn't have put it better. > FWIW, I use GIFs all the time in Word w/o any such problems.

A project such as this one is easier to lay out and maintain in Powerpoint. But I quite agree with ya, Powerpoint is hardly better at producing PS output than word. I mean, if you're going to have to live with crappy output you might as well make the other aspects of the job as easy as possible.

If Windows is set up with a 2-digit year in the short date format try changing it to 4. (Use Control Panel->Regional Settings->Date to change the format from, e.g., M/d/yy to M/d/yyyy.)

It is unambiguous, and not inconsistent since both day and month follow the same rule. I do know that some people did consider it a bug and fixed it.

She has Reader 4.05 installed, and pdf.ocx version 2.0.100 is in the correct location. She is using Windows NT. When she tries to access PDF files over the Internet, she gets a message along the lines of "This page provides potentially unsafe information to an ActiveX control. Your current security settings prohibit running controls in this manner." If I change her Internet security option "Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" to "Enable" she can then view PDF files on the net. But on my NT system I have that option set to "Disable", and I am still able to view PDF files in IE5. Could it be that my pdf.ocx is considered "safe" and hers is not?

Its true that you cannot send that many fonts at once. However if it is a catalogue, you could tell people to set Reader to output as Image, thus reducing the file size to the printing device.

Font catalogs are an interesting technical challenge, which push the limits of whatever technology you are using. The PDF format is almost a detail. The fact is that most PostScript printers do not have enough memory to hold 42 fonts, and will fail. Using font subsets will help a little, but not enough. So long as you are having the catalog printed only once, commercially, it is usually possible to find a RIP with sufficient capacity, and get the work done. For distribution to end-users this is pretty much out of the question. I believe the only solution in this case is to convert the fonts to curves or bitmaps for use. This is likely to be smaller and faster if only one sample per character per font is used.

Bitmap fonts are still fonts, and still occupy substantial RAM in the printer. If this goes to a PDF, the PDF file gets still bigger. But when it comes to print I don't know if Acrobat emits fonts, or bitmaps. Perhaps it will work, but I would not be hopeful.

We do a lot of PDF creation from NT machines, using both FrameMaker and Word. Right now, our printers are using the HP LaserJet IIISI PostScript v52.3 drivers. Our IS department is insisting that we switch to the 4SiMx print driver, which is a PCL driver. I think I remember reading somewhere that we should avoid PCL drivers and use only printers with PostScript drivers (even though ours is HP's quasi-PostScript), but I don't know why. Can any one help me, fast - before they get rid of the old drivers? thanks! Jenny Hecker Symix Systems, Inc. p.s. Here's what our IS guy is saying: > All of your documents should print fine with the new drivers, whether they > are Postscript, PDF or whatever. What the PCL driver does is specify a > language when none is specified(like an email or word document) If you > are creating a postscript file, and you send a postscript file to the > printer, it should print in postscript. The tabs that are missing are > mostly gone(like the true type font tab) because these things are now > handled by the OS automatically.

However, your printer driver, used to create the print data, can be either PostScript or PCL. To create PDFs with interactive features you must have a PostScript driver installed - whether it is the LaserJet IIISI PostScript driver, AdobePS driver or another PS driver. The Acrobat Setup button in FrameMaker's Print dialog box will be disabled if you don't have a PostScript printer driver currently selected. Once you have a PDF file created, you can print it to the LaserJet printer using either the PCL or PS drivers. Output should be the same, more or less - images quality and patterns will be handled much better by PostScript printers (or Laserjet printer in a PS mode) than by PCL (or PCL-mode) printers. [ Also take into account that when switching from one printer driver to another, especially between PCL and PS drivers, line breaks will be recalculated in your FM documents, and possibly be updated - in some cases line break changes cause different page breaks, so after switching to a different driver, review your pages, and update cross- references and generated files (eg TOC/IX). If applicable, also inspect small text frames (such as in illustrations) where line break changes might cause the last line to "disappear" if the text frame is not large enough to contain another line. ] Shlomo Perets MicroType * http://www.microtype.com FrameMaker-to-Acrobat: TimeSavers / Advanced Techniques Course / Solutions You wrote: >We have two HP LaserJet 4si printers.

If a plugin is found it will call an embed function with the PDF file and if a plugin is not found will give instructions on downloading and installing Acrobat. My problem is this: The Embed HTML Tag doesn't work the same way in Netscape as it does in Internet Explorer. The Netscape plugin doesn't include any of the navigation or menu items when called this way. I would like these included to give the user an idea of the navigation capabilities of my CDs and to allow them to view the sample documents in their entirety. Is there a way to call the Acrobat Reader within an open document such that full menus and controls can be utilized. I know how to do it as a new document or in a new window and could use that as a fallback but I would rather not.

This is a documented, and probably a permanent, restriction. Apparently it is due to limitations in the Netscape plug-in architecture.

In addition to this there are many design principles for paper which don't logically translate to the screen. I seek to open up understanding of documents which will actually be read on the screen, v those which MUST be printed out due to small text size etc. Most people will print PDFs onto single sided pages (in my survey of around 300, only 4 people printed duplex, and they all belonged to government agencies which had printers that handlde this), yet files are designed as a double page spreads and redundant blank pages added for section breaks and LH sides (I've seen twenty empty pages in a 120 page document - and that was a manual for a major PDF plug-in). I am interested in COMMENTS and VIEWPOINTS on how other people achieve good PDFs, and what criteria they use to determine that their PDF is 'good'. What issues are regarded as most important, eg colour integrity, file size, security etc, and what issues are acceptable or tolerated, eg blank pages. Is speed of making the PDF regarded as important or more methodical methods of converting pages individually to allow for the nature of the content and preflighting which will deliver a better file. At the end of the day, there are a lot of BAD PDF files (which should stay on paper and not go near a screen) that give PDFs a bod name. In many ways the 'art' of communciation on the screen is still maturing (compared to the current state of the printed image), but with a general understanding of many design and communication issues, in addition to the purely technical which usually feature on this list, the acceptability and demand for PDF will increase. I have a specific example which may be useful to focus some feedback. A client asked me to put an atlas document onto the web in PDF format. This job was done 4 years ago and consists of 150 oversize pages (240mm x 240mm) full colour pages which vector maps and text. Behind each page is a pale radial fill (different colours used thorughout), which for printing purposes were created as tiffs to avoid banding. Converting this image to PDF from the archived files produces a large file. Retaining the colour gradution is important, but the colour match, resolution and retained page size is less important. The option seems to be to produce a good quality file and disregard file sizes, break the document into separate sections if necessary, OR allow a jagged background image, OR rebuild the graduations as vector artwork (ignore budget issues for the time being, although this would no doubt require discussing this with the client).

I usually try to influence the designs these days with the knowledge it will be on the web. So I can plan it out, even if the client hasn't thought that far ahead. I do a lot of things that defy Adobe law on how PDFs should be created, mostly by tossing any and all Distiller settings recommended, as they are very inefficient. At the site below (bottom of my signature) is an example of a site that is full press ready, yet very small. Also below is an article done by Digital Chicago, and the images are from a brochure that went to print via PDF, and the same file will be available on the web by February. Its tumble french and english, and thus very easy to manipulate in PDF to english then french all in one file, but all right reading of course. I have been teaching courses for a year now, and consulting globally. In that time I've probably educated 130 business' on full PDF workflow solutions, all with the intent that stuff is being developed in workgroups, usually for print, and that this work will most likely end up on the web. I am a firm believer of 1 file for all aspects.

Use only high quality PostScript Type 1 fonts. Use only Distiller. Use a PostScript workflow. (in other words avoid any contact with Windows GDI or Mac QuickDraw) Use caution with transparency effects and any other effects that are not directly supported by the level of PostScript at your disposal. Avoid building larger PDF files by combining smaller PDF files which contain subsetted fonts with Acrobat's Insert Pages command. Scrutinize any content that you receive from other people, and accept only what is appropriate. There is a difference between good "looks" and good "quality". Master image compression, don't let it master you. When in doubt try to use the lowest common denominator. Play by the rules when it comes to vectors and vector effects. Get familiar with the Acrobat/PDF/PostScript rules and limitations and obey them consistently. Hope this helps.

After installing the Acrobat 4.05 update, Internet Explorer 5 will only load the first page. After that, either clicking on a link or entering a URL into the address bar and hitting enter will cause IE to crash with an error message to the effect that IE caused an exception error in IEXPLORE.EXE The machines in question are a Compaq Professional Workstation 6000 with NT4 SP5 and a home built PC (K6-2 400, 128 MB RAM, SB16 Sound, RivaTNT and Matrox Millenium video) using Windows 2000 Beta 3. This issue came up briefly with Acrobat 4.0, but installing Service Pack 5 fixed the problem(on NT4). Re-installing SP 5 or SP6a no longer resolve the problem when using Acrobat 4.05. Uninstalling Acrobat 4.05 resolves the issue on my Windows 2000 box. Acrobat 4.0 did not cause an error on the Windows 2000 box. Needless to say, because of the problems with compression settings, I'm not very happy with the idea that I will need to use Netscape for my Web browsing needs. If it weren't for the benefits of Acrobat 4 over Exchange 3, I would consider this to be a showstopper. As it is, I have to deal with it one way or another. -- Salvador R.

For Windows'9X, it installs AdobePS 4.3.1. Printers controlled by Microsoft's PSCRIPT driver are not affected. Note that the major problem here is for printer instances for ancient and honorable (all of these printers are older than eight years!) PostScript Level 1 devices that were previously controlled by AdobePS 4.1 (AdobePS 4.2.x and 4.3.x never did support PostScript Level 1). The workaround is to use the Microsoft PSCRIPT driver for these devices. For Windows NT 4, it installs AdobePS 5.1.1. Printers controlled by Microsoft's PSCRIPT driver are not affected. For Macintosh, it installs AdobePS 8.6. Printers controlled by Apple's Laserwriter version of the driver are not affected. - Dov At 1/14/00 10:20 AM , McClure, Mary M wrote: >Does installing Acrobat 4.05 cause printer drivers to get automatically >updated? > >I have a coworker who complained after he installed the full Acrobat 4.05 >product that he was no longer able to print.

If you would like to not install this, then deselect installing the Distiller Printer option during installation. Distiller Printer configures itself with the Adobeps driver. AdobePS drivers share the same name so you cannot have two different versions on your computer at the same time. The newer one will always override the older one. Adobe's Support database has some docs on how to uninstall AdobePS in case you need to roll back to an older version.

How can I >set it up to use the D: drive for the temp files it creates. I'll assume the "40KB" is a typo. ;-) Where does Acrobat create its temp files in this situation? Unless you've specified a particular drive/directory, it's probably defaulting to a directory somewhere under the \NT folder. To change this, first create a new directory for temp files on whatever drive you like. Say D:\TEMP in your case. Do Start, Settings, Control Panel and double click System. Proceed to the Environment tab. If they're not already listed in the System Variables list, create both TEMP and TMP variables thus: In the Variable text box, type TEMP In the Value text box, type D:\TEMP (or whatever temp drive:\directory you've chosen to use) Click Set Repeat, this time creating a variable named TMP rather than TEMP. Point it at the same temp directory as TEMP. If you point TMP and TEMP at a non-existent directory, NT will pretty much ignore you (if you've been very very good) or cause some apps to go haywire (if they're very very bad). Don't do that.

For Windows'9X, it installs AdobePS 4.3.1. Printers controlled by Microsoft's PSCRIPT driver are not affected. Note that the major problem here is for printer instances for ancient and honorable (all of these printers are older than eight years!) PostScript Level 1 devices that were previously controlled by AdobePS 4.1 (AdobePS 4.2.x and 4.3.x never did support PostScript Level 1). The workaround is to use the Microsoft PSCRIPT driver for these devices. For Windows NT 4, it installs AdobePS 5.1.1. Printers controlled by Microsoft's PSCRIPT driver are not affected. For Macintosh, it installs AdobePS 8.6. Printers controlled by Apple's Laserwriter version of the driver are not affected. - Dov At 1/14/00 10:20 AM , McClure, Mary M wrote: >Does installing Acrobat 4.05 cause printer drivers to get automatically >updated? > >I have a coworker who complained after he installed the full Acrobat 4.05 >product that he was no longer able to print.

Why not use Illustrator to do this work: it has a macro function called "actions" and you drag a bunch of pdfs into the program and let the "action" do the conversion (and maybe converting texts into paths and cmyk-ing the file before). BTW: It's safe to use "Illustrator EPS 6.0". The import of 7.0 and 8.0 files cause probs with several mac programs.

Illustrator is a useful tool which can sometimes edit PDF files, but there are many PDF files it cannot open or which suffer changes - especially font problems. I couldn't therefore recommend any system where Illustrator was critical as a PDF processor, or especially an automated system. Didn't we establish a while back that Callas has software that can export a PDF as many EPS files? I think they do. But I also didn't understand the reason why Quite Imposing was unsuitable. Of course, I like selling copies, but more than that I really hate to see people having to spend hours doing something that can potentially be done in minutes. Naturally I'd also like to know if there are reasons why imposing in QuarkXPress is so much better, so that perhaps this can be borne in mind for a future product... so, except for the fact that it saves on software costs (which is not a bad reason), for what reasons would anyone prefer to export a large PDF file as many EPS files, place them into QuarkXPress, and impose that way?

Your description of the problem cannot be correct. PDFs are not created for any specific printer, and there is nothing that should or even can be converted to print to a different one. What you describe is a problem with Word documents and similar, but never with PDFs. So, what you are left with is probably a problem specific to the printer driver you are using. The first thing to try is to get the latest driver for the printer, and then to start experimenting with settings.

On the other hand, when a user creates a PostScript file for a particular printer, the generated PostScript may reflect preconceived notions about the final printing environment and thus, be highly device dependent. This is especially true for issues like color and screening. The PDF files created from such PostScript files may very well reflect these biases. PostScript device parameters (from the setpagedevice command) such as tray selection, duplexing, collation, copies, etc. are all discarded by the Distiller. - Dov ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17-Jan-2000 20:34:07-GMT,2215;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA22910 for ; Mon, 17 Jan 2000 13:34:05 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA15811; Mon, 17 Jan 2000 14:25:07 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 17 Jan 2000 14:23:29 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA15662; Mon, 17 Jan 2000 14:23:29 -0600 From: "Aandi Inston" To: Subject: RE: [PDF] Converting older PDFs Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2000 20:15:21 -0000 Message-ID: <001301bf6127$9507d300$510b83c1@gateway.quite.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 In-Reply-To: <001201bf6125$75b602d0$1d02a8c0@45ckt3r571.goldenbusiness.com> Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ > Maybe I'm confused.

I apologize if my questions were a bit cryptic. The problem is related to page sizing. The PDFs were originally formatted for tabloid size. When the PDFs are downloaded to the printer using the printer's own Fiery Downloader utility, the files are printed on Letter size paper instead of tabloid. However, if I create a new PDF using Distiller as a printer or use the current device driver to create a PS file, I have no problems. I contacted the utility vendor and was given the explanation that it was a PDF problem, not a utility problem. I hope this clears some things up.

In that case you're out of luck. Distiller 3.0 will never embed the base 14 fonts (4xHelvetica, 4xTimes, 4 x Courier, Symbol, Zapf Dingbats). The only thing you can do is to create copies of those fonts with different names, but be careful of your licence agreements and don't use a tool like Fontographer etc. that will change the outline data very slightly, possibly damaging the hints or BlueScale values. Distiller 4.X *can* embed those fonts, but has it's own problems. 4.05 may solve most of those ... when it's finally delivered.

There are many vendors providing rips for color copiers. (EFI, Splash, Entire, etc.) If you are using any of the EFI rips turn "Substitute with Courier = Off" and "Print Errors=On" (I do not remember the "exact" parameter labels but you can determine the current settings by printing a configuration sheet. We use more than 150 digital copiers in our business and I have a better understanding of the EFI, Splash & Xerox rips than other vendors.) Then you will have a better handle on what is occuring in the RIP...

Many mailapps in Mac automatically compress the attached files with BinHex or similar. And since BinHex is a "native" mac format, the PC mailapp doesn´t understand the compression. If you open the PDF in a txteditor you´ll se something like "...this file has to be converted using binhex converter.."

They have no complaints with the PDFs we send them -- made from FM files using TrueType fonts. So perhaps there's no big difference, and we should leave well enough alone. <<<<<<<< There's a lot to be said for "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". But I doubt switching to T1s would break anything. >>>> Steve Rindsberg President, RDP - a slide imaging service bureau http://www.rdpslides.com Developers of ZAP!

I had heard it before, but not given this aspect of the problem much thought. Our hypertext links seem to work, and I've left it at that. If it ain't brok, etc. As to advice about your Xerox branch's uncertainty about revision numbers, I think you had best pursue that up the line with Xerox. Somebody has to know. I will ask our printer the next time I'm up there, but most of the people I see aren't too up to date on RIP. Good luck getting the upgrade. Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: Salvador R.

Fortunately, there had been posts about this prior to me getting this, so I was able to fix the problem. Believe it or not, it has to do with a speech to text module. I am posting the file needed on a server and as soon as it's done, I will post another message about how to retreive it. There should not be any major difficulties in many people trying to download this file. If there are, I'll put it somewhere else. My suggestion would be (if you have a CD-R) make a backup of the 4.05 (05a, 06, they're all the same. I don't understand this one...) and include this file on the CD. Hopefully Adobe will send us ANOTHER update soon that fixes this very annoying bug.

However, this file is safe. I downloaded it from Microsoft and was trying to save all here a little time and effort. It wasn't the easiest file to locate in the first place. I suspect the bulk mailer is the list mailer. All I have done is place the file on my X:Drive account and shared it to the list. This is done through a form on the x:drive web page. That is probably why the domains don't agree. If the list admins frown upon this, I am sorry. Regards Jerry Ferguson ----- Original Message ----- From: "L.

I think by redistributing the Microsoft text-to-speech software from your xdrive.com account, you've unintentionally violated the Distribution paragraph of part 1 of the Microsoft EULA, since I don't think your distribution fulfills requirement (ii): "you [must] only distribute the SOFTWARE PRODUCT in conjunction with, and as part of your web site or application that uses the SOFTWARE PRODUCT."

I left the Distiller on and went out for the afternoon and when I came back several hours later, it was still at it. I finally went through the document piece by piece by copying and pasting chunks into another document and running the Distiller. This allowed me to isolate the problem. I finally found a rogue style that seemed to be the contributing factor. As soon as I deleted and reapplied the style, the Distiller worked just fine. Realize that this wasn't under the same conditions, however. I believe I was using Acrobat 3.x, Word 97 and Windows 98, but the problem was the same. It's a tedious solution, no doubt, but it did allow me to find the problem.

You could try creating a very small document with an line or two of "normal style" text surrounding the errant header (making sure that the style is attached to the header).

There is a little know MAC technique (Exchange 3.x and Acrobat 4.x) that allows you to marquee a column of text within a PDF. You use the Text Select tool and hold down the Option key (Control on a PC) while marqueeing the text. It will only select what is marqueed. Of course, this means copying one column at a time to select a table, but it is all that I know about in the native program. You might find a plug-in that can do it - Ambia Aerial or BCL Redwing come to mind as possibilities. There are links at my site. Happy Hunting! -- C.

You are asking "what is the PDF graphics model and how is it represented" and it takes several hundred pages in the PDF specification! In essence, for graphics you always add data to the page stream. For vector graphics, you include the instructions to make shapes and fill or stroke them. For text, you include the instruction to lay the text, and make references to Font resources elsewhere in the file. Bitmap graphics are represented as an image XObject, containing raw or compressed images (but NOT as many people believe complete graphics like GIF or BMP, only the image data). Each bitmap is placed onto the page by a "Do" in the page stream. To size the bitmap, you would also use "Q" "q" and "cm". If you want an overlay on each page, you can reduce space requirements by using a shared "form XObject" referred to in each page's Resources dictionary, and called in by a "Do". There is no such thing as a watermark or overlay as a specific feature; just graphics. And now, turn to the PDF specification...or else to a third party PDF generation library like pdflib.

I've had the same thing happen: Quark 3.32 (Mac) documents were saved as Postscript files on machines that didn't have the proper printer drivers (Adobe PS 8.5.1). In the quark print dialog window, a local printer was selected as "printer type." When the resulting .ps file was distilled with Acrobat 3.02, a PDF was produced which would only print correctly on one particular printer. The solutioon was installing the correct printer driver, and making sure that the "printer type" was set for Acrobat. Good luck!

Sounds like a question more suitable for pdf-dev, but... the simplest way to do watermark is to place an image in the background. Place an image on the page first, and then do the text as you do now. If all pages share a common watermark image, you can insert just one image XObject, and refer to that from each page's content stream by, e.g., /Im0 Do /Page object must list the image in its Resources dictionary. JPEG images would be the simplest to place, as typically a JPEG file may be just copied as is into the XObject stream. You could actually draw watermark programattically, but unless you need an extremely crisp watermark, JPEG as background seems like the most painless and flexible method (just import a different JPEG backgound image to change the watermark). All this can easily be done by our ClibPDF (www.fastio.com) or PDFlib (www.pdflib.com), though you already have your own C routines.

There's maybe another option; use the incremental update feature of PDF. That way you can generate a PDF file with the desired watermarks. (With a standard application) Then view the files source and note all the pagecontents reference numbers you want to use (And of course the startxref value and the number of objects currently in the file). Then start by copying this file and append your pages to it. Your first object should be numbered at least one higher than the number of objects in the sourcefile. For each page just add the pagecontents object reference to your own pagecontents.

Both compress. Vector graphics retain full resolution. Bitmap graphics can be compressed a variable amount. The more you compress, the more "lossy" the result. For instance, I had a tabloid poster Quark file containing a huge bitmap image in the background and lost of text and vector graphic logos. The "lossless" Postscript file was 123Mb. The distilled file got down to 354K (less than .5% or original size) because I compressed the 300dpi bitmap file to 72dpi using jpeg compression. This file had beautiful, full-resolution text and vector graphics, just like the original, but the bitmap lost a significant amount of resolution (data). Still, it was a great proof for emailing to my account - which 123Mb wouldn't have been - and for the to make a full size print dummy to evaluate for impact. -- C.

The graphic looks great in the 4.0 reader, but terrible (I mean just awful in 3.0). I know we've discussed this before, but after searching the archives I couldn't find the answer. My configuration: Acrobat 4.0 with Distiller configured for 3.0 and 4.0 docs Word 97 The graphic was a PowePoint Slide, which I captured with PSP and saved as a TIFF. It is crystal clear in 4.0, but not even readable in 3.0. Any ideas? My client uses 3.0 Readers and as far as he can tell, there are no immediate plans for the company to upgrade to 4.0. Thanks.

Acrobat stores paths in a "platform independent" format, which is translated, as necessary, to the conventions of the platform. For instance DOS c:\test\file.pdf becomes /C/TEST/FILE.PDF DOS \\server1\file.pdf becomes /SERVER1/FILE.PDF DOS ..\file.pdf becomes ../FILE.PDF Macintosh :Hard Disk:File.pdf becomes /HARD DISK/FILE.PDF Macintosh :Hard Disk:File.pdf becomes ../FILE.PDF Unix /test/file.pdf actually isn't changed In this way, some but not all of the pain of moving files between platforms is soothed.

Also Chr(232), the other accented e: è). When printed from Word 97 on a Windows 95 machine with Adobe PS driver version 4.3.1, the character prints fine. However, when the Postscript generated with that driver is distilled with Distiller 3.02, the character is dropped from the PDF file. If instead we generate the Postscript with driver version 4.3.0, the character stays. If we distill PS 4.3.1 with Acrobat 4.0, the character stays. We'd rather not drop back to the 4.3.0 driver because the 4.3.1 version fixed other problems we were having. We're not quite ready to take the plunge to 4.0, as our printing center needs to upgrade there PS level 1 devices and we've already found a few problems with Acrobat 4, such as my post a few weeks back about mixing landscape and portrait pages. This font is not a TrueType font, but it is a Type1 we had specially designed for us. Interestingly, if I change to a more standard NewsGothic font, the characters don't get dropped. Is my special font "broken"? How can I "fix" it? Has anybody else experienced characters being dropped with the 4.3.1 driver? I found a post from Dov Isaacs announcing the 4.3.1 driver and I thought it said the dropped character problem was supposed to be fixed. ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25-Jan-2000 0:19:53-GMT,2545;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA14626 for ; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 17:19:52 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA16415; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:08:31 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:06:03 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA16253; Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:06:02 -0600 X-Sender: prodok@pop.eunet.ch Message-Id: In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 00:49:37 +0100 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Max Wyss Subject: Re: [PDF] Path Cc: Jose Mera Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Jose, because it has been defined this way.

I have installed on a site several large pdfs (charts) (which have always worked fine) but, in the course of routine checking, found that these pdfs would not load across the internet into my Netscape 4.5. The site is framed (2: vertical). The upper title frame loads but the lower shows a plain gray field, no message or vestige of pdf. Immediately after the upper frame completes, the status bar shows Document: Done. Cold reboot: same. I have reloaded the Reader plugin (4.05) from Adobe. No change. Checking further, I have discovered that my NS4.5 will not load any pdf files from the net but does just fine in situ here on my PC, that is, the plugin loads and the charts are presented as usual. Again, the pdf files load fine from the backup files in my PC into the NS4.5. They also work fine from the server into my MSIE5. I'm sure (!?) I have done nothing to change my NS4.5 from one day to the next, no 'adjustments', no new installations (cept reloading the Reader), no apparent viruses, .... It seems to be a spontaneous permanent loss of pdf readability from the net in my NS4.5. Recently I have used the NS Japanese Character Set settings to read emails several times but this has never been a problem before (I usually use a separate program for rendering kana and kanji). An obvious solution may be to update my nice simple 4.5. I will. But my real interest at the moment is how this could happen. Has anyone experienced anything like this and discovered the reason? I do not like "spontaneous" changes in my software and would be very happy to have this mystery unveiled. Thanks for any light you may be able to shine on this problem. Please forgive the length.

Acrobat 3.0x and AdobePS 4.3.x (including 4.3 and 4.3.1) are mutually incompatible if TrueType fonts are used. There is no workaround. That is why AdobePS 4.2.6 is still posted on the Adobe web site.

It looks fine in Word and it looks fine in Acrobat 4.0, but in the 3.0 reader it looks beyond horrible. The arrows between elements have disappeared. The borders of the circles are jagged and the text is jagged and virtually unreadable. I tried to compensate for this by reopening the graphic in PSP and increasing the color depth to 16M. I then applied a Sharpen and Sharpen More filter. It looked terrific in PSP and Word. In Acrobat 4.0, it looked passable (although some of the lines were disappearing on screen; they looked fine when printed). In 3.0, it looks bad on screen and worse when printed. Can anybody help me out here. My client is getting annoyed (and so am I). I've tried many different combinations to make this work, but it doesn't get any better. Background: Graphic was a PowerPoint Slide I saved it as a WMF I brought into PSP and modified it, then saved it as a TIFF I inserted it into my Word 97 doc I used Acrobat 4.0 Distiller I reviewed it in Acrobat 4.0 and 3.0 readers. If anyone can explain this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Yes, but under Acro 3.X (no 4.X yet becaue of the numerous problems...). Happened usually when working with plugins (eg the ps/eps exporter). My guess is, that the plugin does the second open and then does not properly close it.

Most people are aiming for raster graphics when they create them. Unless you have photographs or very complex line art, such as explosion drawings of complex machinery, raster graphic formats are not the best choice. These are cases for vector graphics, which would display properly in PDF at any scale (well, at low scales, the rasterizer for paths has some problems, as it is not anti-aliasing). For raster graphics, the viewer has to decide on what to show, and as the resolution for display and of the image rarely is the same, there are some information to drop or to invent. This is fundamental for displaying any raster image under any circumstances. If you really have to go with raster images, the trick is to set them up at 144 or maybe 288 dpi, to slightly _blur_ them, and NOT TO SCALE them when placed in another application. You would do the scaling before setting the resolution and blurring in the image processing software. And, yes, it has been a long known problem that the raster graphic displaying algorithm of Acrobat 3 was less than adequate. Hope, this can help.

The Atlas is designed to be viewed on-line from within the users browser. Each page is treated as separate page and is then linked relatively to the rest of the atlas. I've created this on a Mac using OS 7.5.3, Exhange 3.1 and I am pleased to say it seems to work extremely well. (If the users browser is set up to accept pdf files inside their browser.) The creation of relative links means that if a user wants they should be able to download pages and then run them from their harddrive. I've tested this on both Macs and Pc's. However, I've just been approached by a user who is finding that after downloading these files many relative links are broken. He is using a PC with Acrobat Reader 4.0. I've run out of my limited group of suggestions. Is there anyone who might be able to suggest what might be the problem. (I'll include some of his comments here: 07023->07024 but the right-hand side link 07024->07025 doesn't work. I'm not in the position to try all the links today. You mention the pointer should change fron a hand to a pointing finger for links (yes but the links don't work) and URL links should have a small "W" on the back of the hand (hmmm, that doesn't appear in my browser downloads at all). This is a great product and I think you should do well with it.> Thanks in advance, Angus ************************************* Angus Weller 2960 Cosgrove Crescent, Nanaimo, B.C., Canada, V9S 3P8 Tel: (250) 729-7292 e-mail: weller@axion.net or travel-media@bc1.com Internet store: www.travel-media.com ************************************* ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26-Jan-2000 17:15:50-GMT,2697;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA00157 for ; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 10:15:49 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA15491; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 11:03:35 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 26 Jan 2000 10:58:03 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA14920; Wed, 26 Jan 2000 10:58:01 -0600 Message-ID: From: Zbynek Hodic To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: [PDF] PDF and font type3 Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 17:58:51 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01BF681E.A21D7D94" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ This message is in MIME format.

The file prints fine directly out of Illustrator. However, although the PDF looks great on-screen, it won't print.

I'm working with some documents that, when generated, cannot be saved, only printed. Once printed, they must be signed. In the past this was done on paper (i.e., document printed on paper... signed with ballpoint pen). Now it must be done electronically. Printing to PDF works fine, signing the doc is where the trouble starts. Here's what I've observed... If I've signed the document using the digital signature tool in Acrobat, then close the document, then open it... it comes up with a yellow "?" denoting the signature requires validation. In order to validation, you must have the certificate for that signature in the address book. I do for all the signatures on the document, so I select Validate All. Now I close the document again, open it... and the signutures once again require validation -- even though the document has not changed AT ALL. Where's the logic in this? As it turns out, you must also OWN Acrobat or the business tools in order validate a signature. This is not practical for my use as these documents are sent to clients who will only ever have the Reader. The first thing they will ask about is the question mark in the signature block. Is there anyway to hide the question mark? Even if the signature palette shows it?so long as it's not on the document that would be fine. I tried using form fields but that is too combersum for the people who will be signing the doc (too many steps to get one on the page... they'll get frustrated). Also, it will hide the initial watermark, but still shows the question mark on open. Validation is not as important as the 'visual' appearance of a digital signature and protecting the document so that the signatures are secure and cannot be change, but to still allow annotations (we don't want to use handwriting but I can make up a signature block using photoshop or something), . I tried creating a custom stamp, but this has two drawbacks. The first is that you cannot protect the signature, and still allow annotations. The second is that the stamp must be stored locally on the hard drive, meaning I have no way of protecting access to it. If I could at least store it on the network, the stamp could reside in the protected personal directories, which require a password to access. Is there another approach to this that I'm missing? Surely I'm not the only one who has been faced with the need to provide signed documents to clients who do not own full versions of Acrobat. Is there a low-cost third party plug-in that would accomplish this (i.e. giving us the ability to add a signature to a document, but with no special requirements on the part of our clients, outside of having the standard Acrobat Reader, to enable them to read an 'clean' document). Is there a way to insert an image into a PDF file so that it can be scaled and moved around the page as an object?such as with the stamp, but so it can be stored on the network and is not considered an annotation. Simply importing an image takes up an entire new page and cannot be moved around or scaled. Any solutions would be muchly appreciated.

I have questions about the PDF files, and couldn't get it solved by myself. So, my questions are as following, any help/suggestion/recommendation would be appreciated. Q1. Can a user print a PDF form from a browser without installing Acrobat? Or maybe just minimun install (plug-in, maybe)? Is this possible? The thing is the people who are in our web site are non-technical person, and just downloading the application will scare them to death, not even mention installing it. So, I am looking for a way for them to print/view PDF form from the web site, but with minimun hassle. Does anybody know how? Q2. Can you store PDF file in SQL or Access database, just like storing image files? Is it possible? Thank you very much for taking your time reading this.

There is no such thing as a minimum install. The Acrobat plug-in doesn't display PDF files - it uses Acrobat itself to do the job. There is a solution which allows a special web server to convert, dynamically, PDF files to HTML and graphics. This won't be an exact page layout, and it won't be as good quality when printed, which might be the reason to use PDF in the first place. If you actually want the advantages of PDF you do need Acrobat. Each year, millions of people do download and install Acrobat for tasks like printing off IRS tax forms. But only you can judge if your audience is up to the job. > Q2. Can you store PDF file in SQL or Access database, just > like storing > image files? Is it possible? Yes, but there is usually not much point. Storing large files in databases tends to make the databases work very poorly (especially "toy" ones like Access). It is better to use the database to store the file name of your files, which only uses a little space.

That does not mean that they have installed the brower plug-in into their browser program, however. Another major source of Reader installs is program CDs because of the almost universal use of PDFs for Read Me files by major program developers. It is a good policy to update to the new Reader after a major release. For instance, if they see that they have Reader 3.x installed, it would be good to download the 4.x version. -- C.

It seem that several output systems using in-RIP separation of the PDFs can't interpret B/W images assigned to a spot colour in Level 2/3 separation colour space if such images are turned into Form Objects. In-RIP separation seem to work OK, however, as long as the images are stored in the PDF as ordinary pixel images instead (i.e. the OPI info unfortunately is gone). Does any of you wise guys have a great answer to lighten things up for me?

It doesn't actually turn images into PDF form objects, it adds an extra layer into the equation. Instead of the Contents stream referring directly to the image XObject, it refers to a Form XObject, the contents of which then refer to an Image XObject. That's pretty much required to support OPI 2.0 and OPI 1.3 in parallel. For OPI 2.0 the effective Contents stream before the image must set up the correct scaling and translation and colour space before running the high res image data, but that should not be done for OPI 1.3. So the OPI 1.3 object is attached to the form. The contents of the form set the transforms, colour space etc, and then call the image. The OPI 2.0 object is attached to the image. I hope you understood that.

Your answer is highy appreciated. Yes! I understood and actually suspected that the XObject's were the most likely way to preserve the needed information. I didn't know that OPI 1.3 and 2.0 required separate considerations, however, which is very useful for me to know for future projects.

It seem that several output systems using in-RIP separation of the PDFs can't interpret B/W images assigned to a spot colour in Level 2/3 separation colour space if such images are turned into Form Objects. In-RIP separation seem to work OK, however, as long as the images are stored in the PDF as ordinary pixel images instead (i.e. the OPI info unfortunately is gone). Does any of you wise guys have a great answer to lighten things up for me?

It doesn't actually turn images into PDF form objects, it adds an extra layer into the equation. Instead of the Contents stream referring directly to the image XObject, it refers to a Form XObject, the contents of which then refer to an Image XObject. That's pretty much required to support OPI 2.0 and OPI 1.3 in parallel. For OPI 2.0 the effective Contents stream before the image must set up the correct scaling and translation and colour space before running the high res image data, but that should not be done for OPI 1.3. So the OPI 1.3 object is attached to the form. The contents of the form set the transforms, colour space etc, and then call the image. The OPI 2.0 object is attached to the image. I hope you understood that.

This is probably what the Tech was talking about, and they are referring to the original problem. Janet Loprano Senior Applications Specialist The Associated Press / AdSEND Sorry if this is a repeat. Someone at Adobe technical support just told me that Adobe is pulling the 4.05 CDs because installation/use crashes some systems as well as distiller. Is this true? I called to see where my copy was. They said that 4.05 went out the door without any testing and now they're working on 4.06. The tech support person told me not to install the 4.05 cd if it showed up. When is 4.06 coming out?

Please indicate what is happening. There was an old issue with Distiller 4.0 not launching correctly. You can find out more about that at the following URL: http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/1bd22.htm The information that you are passing along here is incorrect. I need to emphasize, incorrect. Acrobat 4.05 is not being pulled and replaced. It was tested. The shipment of 4.05 CDs has been delayed. Not on purpose, but to other variables in the distribution process. Yours should be arriving shortly. This is a popular update. Anyone who is registered should be receiving there update. Be sure that you updated your registration from 3.0x to 4.0. If not the "system" will not automatically send you a 4.05 CD. There is a Support Database document that discusses the differences between 4.05 and 4.06. Check it out: http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/20b3e.htm There have not been any reported installation issues with Acrobat 4.05 other than the following issue that is documented with solutions: http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/20b16.htm I hope this helps, Jeff At 12:38 PM 1/28/00 -0500, you wrote: > >The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ >__________________________________________________________________ > >Hi all, > >Sorry if this is a repeat.

If you have a case number for your tech support call, we would like to followup on it and educate the representative who spoke with you. Jeff Moran's response did a very good job of explaining the exact situation vis-a-vis the points you raised. I can personally assure you that a tremendous amount of testing went into Acrobat 4.05, not only by Acrobat's own Quality Assurance organization within Adobe, but also by a large number of other internal users (myself included) and external beta sites! - Dov ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28-Jan-2000 20:44:17-GMT,1786;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA16204 for ; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 13:44:15 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA06814; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 14:33:52 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 28 Jan 2000 14:31:24 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id OAA06533; Fri, 28 Jan 2000 14:31:23 -0600 From: BooksOnScr@aol.com Message-ID: <96.6cf630.25c35687@aol.com> Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 15:31:03 EST Subject: [PDF] Type Selections for Button To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL for Macintosh sub 146 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ I'm building buttons in Acrobat and need to know if anyone knows how to add more available faces to the selection list -- I'm only showing Times, Helvetica and a couple of others.

That's it. To make buttons with anything more you need to create PDF files containing (one per page) the designs, and use them as icons. (Try to avoid this if your files are destined for the web, they will get very big).

That's it. It has been set up like that by design. And be assured, you can be glad that the font choice has been restricted to the fonts which are part of the Acrobat installation, and therefore available under guaranteed and controlled conditions. Any other font would not be, and it would be a support nightmare. If you really, really, really must need your own fonts, you can easily create a very basic PDF from the text you want to display and use it as an icon. Hope, this can help.

There are a couple of approaches. You can build the buttons as graphics in the source document and put invisible buttons over them in Acrobat You can build the buttons as graphics in the source document and underlay them with EPS "graphics" that contain PDFMark code to invoke the actions you want in the PDF You can also, I'm pretty sure, create the buttons in another app, make a PDF from that, then use the graphics as buttons in your PDF.

I am updating a series of catalogs that contain lists of recordings, artist and etc. Page one consists of a Illustrator EPS that I placed into a PageMaker 6.5.3 Publication; after which I export the postscript for distilling. This Workflow worked fine using Distiller 3.01. However now the title page is blank when I distill the PageMaker Pubs. I initially had some font issue's but I am satisfied that this isn't the culprit. When I distill the documents independently they come out fine. It's been sometime since I've worked with these documents, but I think I may have had the same problem with Acrobat 3, In which case I probably used exchange to import the Title page into the PDF proper. Still can someone explain to me why these documents won't cooperate in their combined state yet still distill independent of each other?

The Windows error is "Cannot find the file (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all required libraries are available." The Reader proceeds to open with the license agreement page. If the license is accepted, the file opens. Subsequently launched pdf files will open in Reader with no problem. This was never a problem with previous versions of Reader, and I'm guessing that it's because I tried to open the pdf file before the license agreement was accepted. We'd like the users of a CD-ROM we distribute to not receive this error. Any suggestions?

A client has sent me the following error message when he was trying to open a pdf I created in Acrobat 4. He tried to open this pdf in reader4 in windows 1. "there was an error opening this page. To few operands." 2. "An unrecognized token '188.370.0y055' was found." I tried opening the pdf myself again in a few different PC's and it opened fine. Any clues?

Essentially the same, but accessing already on the source document level would be creating a PDFMARK EPS file which contains the information for the button, which you would put in the page template (or header or footer). In fact, this would even be more efficient for the resulting document. If you are looking for the runtime ability, you would always have to put a trigger on your document, which means you would always have to put a button on your page. Another alternative, would be to handle it on application level. And, yes, for this, you could get a plug-in. The first place to look would be Ari's Print Helper by Daniel-Ari Feinberg of Dionis (http://www.dionis.com). If that would not quite work for your application, contact him directly. He does customizations. Hope, this can help a bit further.

This particular set of symptoms, and especially "2", is a pretty sure sign that the file was damaged in transit. This is a common occurrence with e-mail. Sometimes sending again fixes it, sometimes it is an incompatibility between your two systems. Sometimes ZIPping the PDF first seems to protect it.

Here is relatively simple example: Make PDF file one use Palatino Roman (in StandardEncoding), and make PDF file two use Palatino Roman (in some weird encoding, like the ones TeX users are used to seeing). Make sure that the fonts are not subsetted: either fully embedded or not embedded at all. Merge the two files using Exchange 4.0. Then there will only be one instance of Palatino Roman in the merged PDF file (from file one, if that is the file being merged to). This is a problem because then calls for glyphs from Palatino Roman that originated in file two are expected to be from the "weird" encoding, but that isn't the encoding available. Ugh... I have sample files available, for those who care. There are ways around this. Subsetting is one, but I thought that wasn't recommended for the base 14 fonts. The other solution would involve modifying the page/form/etc... resource dictionaries and what not, to make sure the correct font is used, and then making sure the correct font, font descriptor, and fontfile objects are embedded. Which is considerably more work. :( Tom On Tue, 1 Feb 2000, Jeff Moran wrote: > > The Acrobat readme file advises not to do this.

Well, Palatino is not one of the base 14. But I don't think there's any reason not to subset the base 14. You couldn't embed them at all before 4.0 (not with Acrobat, anyway), but now you can, they should be treated identically. Unfortunately it is the case that Acrobat thinks two fonts are the same if they have the same name. An understandable mistake.

I am making a small launcher app in Director to call the reader and open a "cover page" pdf. What I need to do next is provide a navigation system. What I have in mind is putting a common set of bookmarks in each pdf that simply link to the first page of each in the collection. (There are no pre-existing bookmarks in any of them). I was wondering -- has anyone ever done something similar to this? What did you end up doing for the needs I've described? One caveat I've realized is that if the user hands one of the pdf files off to someone else, the bookmarks will call an error stating that the file does not exist. I plan to bring this to the users' attention. Any other ideas?

It seems to result in a smaller file size, which is desirable. There are two places a resolution may be set. 1. General tab. This has an indirect effect on file size and none at all on images. This is best set to the final printing resolution, say 600. 2. Compression tab. You can reduce the resolution of your images in this way, but you should not in general do so for screen shots - it can harm them badly. If you have any other images, photos etc. this may be a different story.

Call it irrelevant, call it meaningless gibberish, call it what you will, but 72 dpi doesn't mean anything. What matters, especially for screenshots, is how many pixels are in the image (e.g. 800x600, 640x480 etc) and how many pixels the image will occupy on screen when the final user views it in PDF form on their computer. If they view it in Reader 3, unless they happen to stumble onto a zoom factor that yields an exact pixel for pixel match between their screen and your image, the screen shots will degrade to a greater or lesser degree, and rather unpleasantly so. Reader 4 handles this situation differently, and the results are far superior. Unless you can control the version of Reader they use, the above isn't of much use to you. Other than the obvious: suggest to the users that they DO use Reader 4. ;-) And you can't very well control the zoom factor they choose, other than setting the initial opening zoom for the PDF.

Not strictly the case. You cannot use Acrobat 4.0 to save an exsisting file in an earlier format. But Acrobat 4.0 can create files with 3.0 compatibility (using Distiller or PDFWriter). That doesn't help, here, of course. You would have to get a copy of Acrobat 3.0. This has the option to make files compatible with 2.1 (which in this case is the same as 2.0). Again, it cannot convert; you must make the files from scratch.

My point is the following: I can skirt around the issue by subsetting the non base 14 fonts, but I do not want to subset the base 14 because of Acrobat 3.0 SDK issues (the files that I am talking about are being merged with binaries built with the Acrobat 3.0 SDK libraries) . > > But I don't think there's any reason not to subset the base 14. > You couldn't embed them at all before 4.0 (not with Acrobat, > anyway), but now you can, they should be treated identically. > With 4.0 yes, with 3.0 no.

I know that we used to be able to do that, but it worked only in Exchange, not Reader. We know that linking from HTML to book.pdf#page=678 will work in Reader 4.05. (It didn't work in Reader 3.x.) Now we'd like to figure out if linking to a bookmark will also work in Reader 4.05. Unfortunately, nobody knows the magic words to make it happen--as "page=678" are the magic words to make it happen for page numbers. I do know that pdfmark can be used to create a named destination. That may end up being the solution, but if we could link to already created bookmarks, so much the better.

I'm actually putting the finishing touches on a similar project. :-) My general advice would be to consider a two-stage navigation system: 1) a TOC document, with links and bookmarks to all subdocuments; 2) a set of common bookmarks in each subdocument, with some bookmarks defined with basic commands, like print, and if you're indexing these files, I'd include bookmarks to 'recall results' and 'enter criteria'. And, of course, a bookmark which links back to the TOC document. This way, you avoid most of the problems of non-functioning bookmarks, if someone hands off one of the subdocuments. I have a tool that I developed in collaboration with someone else on this list, which would allow you to copy the bookmarks from one source PDF, and propagate those bookmarks to an entire folder of PDFs. The tool requires that you have Microsoft Access 97 (will probably work with Access 2000, but I haven't checked yet). If you are interested, you can download the Propagate Bookmarks tool from my web page: http://www.bignow.brinet.net/ Of course, it's free. And feel free to pull it apart to see how it works. It's all just VBA, OLE Automation, and Acrobat IAC. ----------------------------------- HARDY POTTINGER Information Coordinator Orthopaedic Research Society 6300 N River Rd Ste 727 Rosemont, IL 60018-4226 (847)384-4219 / FAX (847)823-0536 pottinger@aaos.org http://www.ors.org ----------------------------------- -----Original Message----- Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 15:58:09 -0500 From: "Rob Adams" Subject: [PDF] making a linked TOC with bookmarks I need to deliver a collection of pdf's with a reader that runs from CD. I am making a small launcher app in Director to call the reader and open a "cover page" pdf. What I need to do next is provide a navigation system. What I have in mind is putting a common set of bookmarks in each pdf that simply link to the first page of each in the collection. (There are no pre-existing bookmarks in any of them). I was wondering -- has anyone ever done something similar to this? What did you end up doing for the needs I've described? One caveat I've realized is that if the user hands one of the pdf files off to someone else, the bookmarks will call an error stating that the file does not exist.

If course, Ari's Link Checker has batch modes to check all files inside a folder heirarchy to find exactly this kind of problem: http://www.dionis.com/tb/alcinfo.html There is no magic for preventing the user from moving files around and mucking things up. Of course, as you may notice from the example above, if you contain all the files and subfolders in one top-level folder (project in this case), then the user can move that folder and even rename it without problem so long as all the folders and files inside it don't get moved or renamed.

There are not many options you have. The best way would be getting to your source document and process it in Distiller 3 with the 2.1 compatibility selected. If you have no access by any way to your source document, you can try to "refry" your documents from Acrobat 3, by sending it to a PS file and process this one in Distiller 3 with the 2.1 compatibility selected. You would, however loose all the links etc. BTW, Acrobat never stored documents in an earlier version. Another possibility would be contacting Aladdin Enterprises, the makers of Ghostscript (mailto:ghost@aladdin.com), http://www.aladdin.com and ask about the possibilities of a PDF 1.3 (or at least 1.2) enabled version of Ghostscript for OS/2.

Neither Andy Anston, nor I (!) have ever heard of this working, not even with a custom plug-in. This is one way to make it work: a process to take every bookmark and automatically set a named destination from it. Perhaps there was something like that. I am referring to URL links. Something different may be possible if you are opening local files and using the full Acrobat.

I was hoping that was it. Well, you might run through some system things, like reinstalling the Service Pack and then reinstalling Acrobat. Couple other suggestions: 1. Try this in Standard VGA to make sure it is not a video driver conflict. 2. Double click on the Acrobat Reader executable while holding down Shift. This will load Reader without initializing any plugins. If it starts up and can view a PDF then we know that one of the plugins could be causing the problem. You can then take them out of the plugin folder one at a time until we find which one. 3. Remove Reader from the computer. Go into the registry and delete the .pdf file association keys. These are quite often not removed. Here are some steps to follow. left1. Open to the Hkey_Classes_Root key (i.e., folder). 2. Delete the following keys from the Hkey_Classes_Root key: .pdf Acro*.* (delete all keys that begin with "Acro") PDF*.* (delete all keys that begin with "PDF") Again, hope all that helps.

And besides that, you can not use normal HTML code anyway. The closest you have in PDF to get to HTML is the weblink. However, this still would not allow you to place any HTML banner ads in the document itself without additinal functionality. Also, I am not sure if such a HTML banner ad viewer plug-in could be Reader-enabled. On server-side, you could set up your PDF documents as forms, and use something like FDFMerge by Digital Applications (http://www.digapp.com) to dynamically add the banner ads. However, these banner ads would have to be in PDF form. Hope, this can help.

I hope someone can help me. I've got a CD I have to ship today, and the PDF files contained on it have begun to exhibit this behavior: When openned, the Disk icon on the toolbar goes from gray to active (bad sign). When closed, Acrobat asks if I would like to save my changes. I have not made any... in fact, the documents are secured against changes. Obviously, Reader doesn't exhibit this behavior. Only Acrobat. I dimly remember reading something about this recently, but I can't find the article anywhere. I'll keep looking high and low all day, but I really hope someone out there can help me. Please CC me off list, as I'm on the digest version of this list. By the time I get the digest, it will be too late.

If you have it instlled, all you need do in Acrobat is select the Object Tool, hold down the CMD/CTRL key, depending on the system and click on the image. A window appears, at the bottom is Edit. This should open images in Photoshop, and EPS in Illustrator. In Photoshop you will then see the resolution in the normal place. As well as in Illustrator. Also Pitstop, and I believe Quite A Box of Tricks will also tell you the dimensions of an image and its resolution. -- Jason Belec :)~ Digital Workflows Specialist, especially PDF pdfworkflows@home.com "It's always easy, we just think too hard..."

The latter ships with Acrobat 4.0 and has much more subroutininization (is that a word? font program experts know what I am talking about) and handles hint replacements differently. Can someone form Adobe comment on the differences? Lest someone think I am off topic here, I say this in my defense: one of the fonts above ships with Acrobat!

(1) Do the gray lines exist at all magnification levels? When you zoom in and they disappear this could simply be "greeking" of the text. There is a prefernce setting in Acrobat's General Preferences. (2) Assuming the gray lines persist at all magnification levels, does the PDF file print with gray lines too? If so then it is likely a PDF creation problem. If not, then you are looking at conflict with the Viewer (video card settings and such).

I believe Crackerjack will do what you want. If you have text, bezier shapes, etc., separate them onto a second page, keep the images on the first page. Generate PDf of both pages. Open the image Page in Photoshop, convert to Greyscale and save or copy info into Black Channel and save. As for the text and bezier page, open in Illustrator, convert to greyscale, and save. In Acrobat copy and paste page two onto page one with Acrobat Object tool. Then print. This should have kept the data in the black (K) region of the document so that on a 4color printer it should just print one pass. Does your print device have this option built in? -- Jason Belec :)~ Digital Workflows Specialist, especially PDF pdfworkflows@home.com "It's always easy, we just think too hard..."

You are correct, the appending of multiple files together, where more than one file contains AcroForm fields, is a difficult problem to begin with. It is made even more difficult (impossible?) when those forms have fields with the same name! That's one reason why the new version of FDFMerge from Digital Applications now supports "form flattening", so that multiple form documents can be merged together without any problems.

In order to allow only the intended user to print, you would need to use a security system, such as FileOpen by FileOpen (http://www.fileopen.com). In this case, your PDF is installed with a machine-dependent key on a specific machine. The code is handed out by you, so that you will have organizatorial control over who gets the document. If you have the documents on a CD and run them from the CD (this can also be restricted (as I can see) with a security system, you can use a JavaScript in the "config.js" file for the Reader (see Acrobat JavaScript Specifications, AcroJS.pdf, accessible through the Acrobat 4 Help menu. Otherwise, you will also need specific plug-ins, where you then have full control over the menu and toolbars. Hope, this can help.

It is available now for downloading in English and eleven other languages from: This driver version provides the following key fixes: (1) PostScript from FrameMaker 5.5.x is now correctly generated when using either the "separations" or the "generate Acrobat data" options. (2) Certain PostScript errors no longer occur when PostScript is sent to certain Heidelberg printers. See below for a full list of problems fixed by both AdobePS 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 as well as other useful information. All users of AdobePS 5.1.1 and earlier versions of AdobePS 5.x are most strongly encouraged to update to AdobePS 5.1.2 at their earliest possible convenience. - Dov ============================================================= The Adobe PostScript (AdobePS) printer driver 5.1.2 enables you to print documents from any application running in Windows NT 4.0 to a printer that includes Adobe PostScript Level 2 or Adobe PostScript 3. Designed by Adobe and Microsoft, this jointly developed printer driver provides significant benefits to users, printing system manufacturers, and application software vendors. AdobePS 5.1.2 is an updated version of AdobePS 5.1.1, which was released in October 1999. The updated version resolves problems some customers encountered with the previous version of AdobePS. Even if you did not encounter problems with the previous version, Adobe recommends you download and install this updated version. AdobePS 5.1.2 offers the following enhancements and corrections: -- Printing certain patterns to either very low resolution devices or at very low scaling will not cause PostScript errors. -- PostScript errors will not occur when you retarget the output to a different printer. -- Colors in EPS graphics will print correctly. -- You can browse to install printers connected via Miramar System's PCMacLan. -- Images from Lotus WordPro '97 will not print with an extra line around them. -- Colors in 1-bit per pixel images print correctly. -- Some printers with complex PPDs had their features controlled in error. -- Printers with constraints between Manual Feed and Media Type work correctly. -- Text formatted with TrueType fonts will print correctly, even if the TrueType font is not written correctly. -- Vertical Japanese TrueType fonts will not be mispositioned when printed. -- Text formatted with third-party Japanese TrueType fonts will print completely. -- All pages in documents with mixed Portrait and Landscape orientation sometimes will print with the correct orientation. -- The underline position has been corrected for all PostScript fonts. -- Photoshop's "Binary" option resulted in a PostScript error when targeted to a TBCP-connected printer. -- Jobs sent to Heidelberg printers now print without a PostScript error. -- You no longer receive a PostScript error when using the Save As PDF and Separations features of FrameMaker 5.5x. System Requirements Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 5 or later Any printer that includes Adobe PostScript Level 2 or Adobe PostScript 3 A PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for your printer Installation Instructions After downloading a ".exe" file in Windows, double-click on the ".exe" file to access the file's contents. Need help with downloading? See our Downloading Help documents. Installation of this driver requires a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for your printer. If you need a PPD file, do one or more of the following: -- Check whether a PPD disk was included with your printer (most PostScript printers include a disk that contains the PPD file for the printer). If you cannot find this disk, contact your printer manufacturer for a replacement. -- Visit your printer manufacturer's Web site or FTP site to obtain the PPD file. -- Visit Adobe online services such as the Adobe Web site, which may have the PPD file you need. Note: Adobe redistributes a number of PPD files as a courtesy to Adobe customers but does not guarantee to have the PPD file you need. -- If you work with a service bureau or print shop to create professionally printed documents, they may have the PPD file you need. Your printer manufacturer is ultimately responsible for providing you with a PPD file. Neither Adobe nor your service provider is obligated to provide you with a PPD file. To install AdobePS 5.1.2: 1. Have your PPD file ready, either on a floppy disk or on your hard disk before you install AdobePS. 2. Exit from all applications. 3. Double-click the Aps512eng or Aps512eng.exe file to begin the installation. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete. Installation Warning If you are using "Novell NetWare Client for Windows NT 4.30," you may not be able to install a Network Printer using this software. To install a Network Printer you must first switch to either the "Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Client Service for Netware" or a different or newer version (4.5) of the Novell NetWare Client. If you do not, you may experience a failure when you click Next after selecting Network Printer as your printer type. Alternatively, you can install a printer as a Local Printer and use the Ports tab on the Properties dialog for that printer to add the real network port. You can tell which version of NetWare Client you are using when you first logon to Windows NT. If your logon screen displays "Novell Netware Client for Windows NT v4.30.410," you need to update NewWare Client. You can also check your System32 folder for Netware.drv. Version 3.11.97.176 works incorrectly. Additional Notes This printer driver is not for use with PostScript Level 1 devices. Owners of PostScript Level 1 devices should use the Microsoft PostScript printer driver included with Windows NT 4.0 instead of AdobePS 5.1.2.To determine what level of PostScript is included with your printer, see your printer's documentation or contact your printer manufacturer.

I thought Pitstop would do this but a scan of their Manual > turned up no match. You can do this with the new PitStop 4.05. You can download this latest version from our website (www.enfocus.com). That version has action lists. One of the actions is "Add arbitrary object" which does what you need. If you want to put it on all pages, you need to make an action list with one action. Select the objects you want to add to each page, (probably image or text in your case), open the action list editor, create a new action list and add the action "Add arbitrary object". Press the grab button and select the radio button for insertion into the background. Close the editing window and run the action! If you need more complex selection (only odd/even... pages) take a look at the predefined action "Add confidential stamp" The manual describes how to use action lists, but the actions/selects themselves are not in the manual. Just take a look at them in the "new action type" panel. Feel free to contact me if you need more information.

I need some support here. I'm in the middle of wedding planning, and I'll admit upfront that my brain is not functioning as it should. I am making .pdf's with distiller from Word97. The pdf's are turning out larger than the Word docs. I've got one clue. I have scanned images for each of these files and inserted them into the Word docs. When I insert them, they are monterously oversized, and I have to scale them down to 30%. (Maybe this is more of a Word question than pdf -- please bear with me.) The images are sized to correct dimensions at 300dpi. Is the resolution the issue here? I know that PowerPoint reduces all images to 96dpi, but I didn't expect Word to do that. These pdf's have to be optimized for print. Can someone please lend me a hand? I'm in the dark! Thanks for your patience.

As was mentioned here earlier, with Acrobat 4, one can drag and drop multiple PDFs into an open Acrobat window and it will append the files. If the default ordering is not to your needs or you really need to automate it, I posted a sample script to do this to the blueworld list recently. A search on 'applescript' at http://listsearch.blueworld.com/acrobattalksearch.lasso will get you to the script.

I'm wondering if it is possible to ensure that there is only one PDF open at a time in the Reader. If I search an index and link to a file from the results, previously open documents are not closed. Is this an issue for anyone? How do you deal with it? I'm currently trying to test the xHomePdf plug-in by Xman for a "cleaner" solution to navigating the PDF's on the cd. By cleaner I mean that I won't have to alter the client's PDF's by putting bookmarks in them. Unfortunately, linking back to the homePdf does not close the open PDF. Would JavaScript possibly provide a solution here? Thanks for any and all input on this. I appreciate your time.

However, most users do immediately change this setting to allow multiple open documents. So, if you put app.openInPlace = true; in the Document JavaScript or the first page of, let's say, your opening document, you would get the desired behaviour. However, you may get some mud thrown at you becauses you fiddle around with user settings. At a quick second thought, however, it is not thaaat critical, as you are getting to single windows, therefore, you will always leave your system in a controlled way, and so, you could use a global variable to store the original setting. Then, you set your behaviour on page open actions, and reset it to the stored behaviour on every page close actions (you have to do this, because there is no "Document Close" action -- unfortunately. Another possibility (and it is the one I prefer because it is non-intrusive), is to use the "/newWindow /false" setting of the "/goToR" cross-document link. However, this setting is not directly accessible right now, and you would have to get at it before processing your document in Distiller. Or, you send a nice letter to Daniel-Ari Feinberg of Dionis, Author of Ari's Link Tool to add the open cross document property to the options available in the Link Tool. If your cross-document links were buttons, then you also couls use an FDF to set this property. This second method is, as said, my preferred, as it also gives good control over the opening behaviour of the documents. If your documents are clearly hierarchically structured, you could use it, and to go to back to a higher hierarchy level just close the window, while being on the same level, you would not open a new window. Hope, this can help.

For a longer answer: The JavaScript implementation and object model in Acrobat is not the same as the one by Netscape. Therefore, it may, but more likely, may not work when you go from one world to the other. With the form fields, the PDF format has more features and functions than HTML, so, you would in any case loose some functionality. Hope, this can help.

The images are sized to >correct dimensions at 300dpi. Is the resolution the issue here? Almost certainly part of the problem. For starters, 300 dpi at reproduction size is overkill. The images should be 1.5 to 2 times the line screen you'll be printing them at. That is, if you'll print to an imagesetter at 133 lpi, then 266 is the max dpi you'd need, and depending on the images, you can get away with considerably less. Then check your compression settings. JPG might get you much smaller files, but it's a lossy compression format - that might affect the images. To be on the safe side, use ZIP8 compression. >know that PowerPoint reduces all images to 96dpi, Not so, but probably a misstatement of what it does do. When the image itself doesn't specify how large it's supposed to be (as TIF can, most other common image formats can't) it punts. Absent any specific info in the image, PPT sizes the image to Width_in_pixels divided by 96 dpi. Or 120 dpi if that's what your video display's set to (ie, large fonts) Word, near as I recall, works the same. But in neither case does the image data get changed, so don't worry about it. So long as there's enough data in the image to do what you want to do, at the size you want to do it at, just scale the image to that size in Word and ignore what *it* thinks the size should be.

However, to assist you in resolving whatever problems you are experiencing, we certainly need a bit more information about the exact symptoms of the problems plus configuration information (versions of NT and service pack, printer being printed to, PPD, printer setup parameters, etc.). In general, though, there is no known problem with "Word 7" printing with AdobePS 5.1.2 to printers with Adobe PostScript Level 2 or PostScript 3 or to the Acrobat Distiller. Again, please provide more information. - Dov At 2/14/00 12:43 AM , Heftman, Emma wrote: >Hi all, >I'm sorry if this doesn't directly pertain to a PDF discussion, but here >goes.

I send a report to printer (which i specify to be Acrobat Distiller). Right after sending it. I want to copy that pdf from that directory into another directory. Prob: It starts looking for the file before Acrobat has finished saving it as the pdf therefore, it tells me that there is no file. I want to say something like, while directory is empty, keep on checking it for that filename. I'm not sure how to do that. I'm using VBScript for ASP. Anything, Anybody? 2. I used PDFWriter as the printer. In pdfwritr.ini, I wrote: PDFileName 'filename' , I was told that this would prevent the print dialog box from showing up. It doesn't. What am I missing?

Is there a tool to change the base URL in a set of links from one thing to another automatically? Another words all the URL links in the PDF start as www.oldpage.com and we want to change them to www.newpage.com. So www.oldpage.com/aboutus/ becomes www.newpage/aboutus/. Two points of clarification. 1. What needs to be changed is the underlying link not the PDF text. 2. The PDF text is NOT in URL format (www....), rather it is textual (About Us).

I recently deployed a new application for web use. It consists of two PDF docs. I have several computers to test it from. It takes a long time to load on every computer (30 sec. +.) On some computers the first file loads successfully but after clicking the weblink to the second file, Internet Explorer hangs. At this point IE has to be closed and reopened to view any page. This happens no matter which file I view first, or what method I use to navigate to the second file (i.e.. Location Bar or Weblink.) On other machines everything works just fine. Can anyone help. Thanks, Andrew p.s. Is there any thing I can do to speed up the loading time? It is 5 pages, 104 fields, 200kilobytes in size. It was made with PDF Writer for Windows from an MS Word Doc. It includes 1 GIF file that's 9.5 KB. ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15-Feb-2000 2:44:37-GMT,3009;000000000001 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA05935 for ; Mon, 14 Feb 2000 19:44:36 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA19058; Mon, 14 Feb 2000 20:34:40 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 14 Feb 2000 20:31:29 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA18823; Mon, 14 Feb 2000 20:31:28 -0600 Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.20000214182749.006d8c70@seattle.sea.adobe.com> X-Sender: jemoran@seattle.sea.adobe.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 18:27:49 -0800 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Jeff Moran Subject: Re: [PDF] PDF converted In-Reply-To: <38A82B26.69DDA6AF@nternet.net> References: <200002091724.LAA25367@everglades.binc.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/listarchives.html X-CONTACT: mailto:pdfz-listadmin@pdfzone.com The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Rather than saving as an EPS try printing to the Acrobat Distiller Printer instead.

When an application shades an area, for instance a box with 50% fill in it, at print time the instruction is to draw lines in the box at approximate spaces from each other. If you were to view this with a magnifying glass you would see the lines drawn on the paper. The same thing is happening in Acrobat. There is no functionality to smooth the drawings like there are in other apps. One Support database doc that kinda addresses this is: http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/cb7e.htm So what you are seeing is expected. It's a feature request to incorporate some type of smoothing. I'm not sure what can be done at the expense of radically changing the viewing engine.

All the links created as stated above work in the PDF except one. >The hypertext link is a gotopage (filename):firstpage link ... According to the "official" syntax, gotopage uses page numbers (in the same number format used in the FM file), and gotolink uses named destinations, either defined by newlink or predefined by FrameMaker (such as "firstpage" and "lastpage"). So it is either gotopage [filename]:1 or gotolink [filename]:firstpage The last option is recommended, as it is more stable and will survive book renumbering. (see http://www.microtype.com/resources/fm5ht.pdf for a summary of all hypertext commands and their Acrobat conversion status). [ There are different variations where hypertext markers function as expected in FrameMaker but not in Acrobat *and vice versa*. Also, the links converted to Acrobat might be faulty without Acrobat notifying you about this - when you have links to non-existing destinations in valid files, for example. For this reason, checking link validity in Acrobat is an important part when producing high-quality interactive PDFs. I recommend Ari's Link Checker from Dionis (see http://www.dionis.com).

This makes sense, but I didn't see mention of it in the docs distributed with Acrobat 4.0, nor did I find anything about this in Adobe's online support database. What is rather irritating about it is that the error message from distiller is along the lines of "Substitution failed; font cannot be embedded". But in reality, the substitution suceeded, because the PDF file was indeed generated, and AdobeSerMM was used when the resulting PDF file was viewed. Oh yeah, in case one wonders how I got AdobeSerMM in my PS file to begin with, here is how: I had ATM's font substitution enabled.

This makes sense, but I didn't see mention of it in the docs distributed with Acrobat 4.0, nor did I find anything about this in Adobe's online support database. What is rather irritating about it is that the error message from distiller is along the lines of "Substitution failed; font cannot be embedded". But in reality, the substitution suceeded, because the PDF file was indeed generated, and AdobeSerMM was used when the resulting PDF file was viewed. Oh yeah, in case one wonders how I got AdobeSerMM in my PS file to begin with, here is how: I had ATM's font substitution enabled. When I printed the docucment I was working on to a PS file, a font was substituted. Which font, I don't know, because as soon as I turned ATM's font substitution off, the problem went away...

(I've contacted the webmaster about that already.) Having not received either list yet I'm betting on this one as the appropriate one for my question. Apologies in advance if it's not. I have a 19 page PDF doc originated from FrameMaker 5.5.6. I printed to file using the Acrobat Distiller driver and clicked Generate Acrobat Data, then used Distiller 4.0 set to PrintOptimized. I've tried printing to my Lexmark Optra printer and HP LaserJet 8000, and in both cases only 4 of the pages print--that's it! How do I get the rest of the pages to print? I don't want to have to recreate the PDF unless absolutely necessary--I've used conditional text in FM and have four versions of the doc, which I don't want to repaginate unless it's a last resort. Thanks in advance for any help. Please email me direct as I'm on digest. I look forward to learning heaps from this list!

Then, your ISP probably don't want to get into trouble with Adobe's lawyers, since it is forbidden by the license for Acrobat. What is it you want to achieve? It may be that Acrobat itself does not need to be on the server, or there is another way to get what you need without it.

I don't think I explained the problem too well initially. The "thick lines" I spoke of are rather large stripes - almost boxes within the shaded box. Let's say I have a box 4cm by 4 cm. The top .5cm is solid black followed by .5cm solid white, so that in a box of this type there may be 4 thick stripes. The doc you mentioned did help a little in that I tried using PDF Writer and the shading appears correctly, however I now have font problems. I get an error opening the PDF document as follows :- There was an error opening this document. The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing or corrupted. Do you have any more insights as to what I can do to fix this? How can the shading appear correctly out of PDF Writer and be so far out through distiller? I have also tried other PS drivers and had the shading appear as expected. Thanks, Phil. > view this with a magnifying glass you would see the lines drawn on the > paper.

Tech support at Adobe can't help me. I am trying to upgrade Acrobat to 4.0a (the full program - not reader). The install seemed to go just dandy. Now, when I try to open an existing PDF file I get a Page Fault error in Kernel32.dll (see below for actual text) Specifics: Windows 98, 64 meg, plenty of disk space. yada yada yada I uninstalled 3.0 prior to the upgrade. I tried the following to correct the problem (obviously to no avail): * Reinstall of Acrobat (multiple times) (using a manual uninstall each time) * Reinstall of kernal32.dll from Windows CD * Booting to safe mode * Trying different PDF files Here is the actual error: ACROBAT caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0257:bff9d709.

I set the resolution to 200 dpi, dropped the compression settings to 200 dpi for color and grayscale images and 300 dpi for lineart. This creates a file of 1.2MB.

Specifically, it could be the .pdf reference for file type. I have some quick instructions on how to delete that reference and then you should reinstall Acrobat. 1. Uninstall the current Acrobat viewer using its uninstaller. (Start the uninstaller by choosing Start > Programs > Adobe Acrobat > [viewer name].) 2. After you finish uninstalling the current Acrobat viewer, choose Start > Run. 3. Type "regedit" in the Open text box and click OK. 4. Choose Registry > Export Registry File, specify a location and name for a backup registry file in the Export Registry File dialog box, and then click Save. 5. Open to the Hkey_Classes_Root key (i.e., folder). 6. Delete the following keys from the Hkey_Classes_Root key: .pdf Acro*.* (delete all keys that begin with "Acro") PDF*.* (delete all keys that begin with "PDF") 7. Reinstall your Acrobat 4.0 viewer. I'm thinking since the problem happens when you double click or open a file that this could part of the problem. Sometimes the old uninstaller will not remove this entry and it won't get updated. It's a long shot, but let us all know if it helps out.

To get your upgrade copy, be sure that you have registered. If you have just recently registered, as in after December 1, 1999, call Customer Support to order your 4.05 upgrade. It is free (minus shipping I think).

I have a client who has a hefty investment in PDFs that he is publishing over the internet using Adobe Document Server. Some of his clients are behind firewalls and downloading and installing Reader is not an option for many of them. The typical files are hundreds of pages with photographs and compress to 11-50 Mb. When I access his files they come up on WIN98 but not on the MAC. I can view the PDF versions but can't save them. Unfortunately, neither can his customers. Are any of you having similar problems or notable cross-platform success with Adobe Document Server? What would you recommend as a course of action? Thanks, -- C.

It seems > more complicated. In this case the license is still be breached, but in a more indirect way. The ISP can't do it, and nor can you. Let me quote from the Acrobat Developer FAQ if I may: "Use of any Acrobat product as a server process accessed by multiple clients,unless it is specifically stated in product documentation as designed and licensed for such purpose [is] technically Infeasible |Contrary to Licensing. Unless specifically stated in the product documentation and licensing agreement, Acrobat products are not designed,tested, or licensed for this purpose.This use is in violation of the licensing restrictions,as described in the End User License Agreement displayed during product install and not supported by Acrobat Developer Support." This seems pretty unambiguous: creating PDFs on the fly using Acrobat is not allowed. Adobe's reasoning is strong. They are trying to protect themselves against an all-to-common case of the cheapskate company who wants to buy one $299 license for Acrobat and use it on a server so all 10,000 people in the company can make PDF files. Total revenue: $299. Clearly, if they can do so, they will write their license to forbid that. But this catches another very important case: dynamic PDF deployment on the internet, where the potential number of users is in the millions. Do not assume ANY software is automatically licensed in this use. I am aware of at least one very acrimonious and expensive law suit over the use of "single user" software to provide services on a web server, which may have cost the company millions to deal with. So, you are indeed stuck. You CANNOT use Acrobat for this task according to this interpretation of its current license. For this reason many people turned to non-Adobe solutions, some of which can accomodate this license. But in general these solutions are NOT of the "print to PDF" model. They are instead require a completely new process of PDF generation, typically with much more programming. Acrobat Distiller Server is expected "soon". We have few details, except that it is specifically intended to deal with problems like this. It will presumably retail for a lot more than the regular product. At one time there WAS a network distiller. It cost $7500.

We would like to archive outgoing invoices in PDF format in an optical archive. The invoices are available already in PDF format. One PDF file contains many invoices. The archiving system requires one PDF file per document (invoice). Furthermore, it requires that every document is accompanied by a commands file, log file and attributes file in order to store the docs in and retrieve them from the archive system. How can we convert the present PDF files to the format mentioned above? In other words: how can we cut the big files into many smaller ones and how to extract the info for the commands and attributes files from the PDF files? Do you know about any easy tools?

There is one particular error (where the fault is listed as in AFILL32 or AFORM32) for which this is a very likely fix. It is in the nature of bugs that they can affect different people in different ways. In your case perhaps the error shows up in KERNEL32. So, if you have the same problem, the same fix will apply. But there cannot be guarantees. KERNEL32 is the like the central nervous system of Windows, it controls everything. So there are all sorts of things that can be wrong, including hardware faults. I would be hopeful, but not certain. > IOW what does this engine do form me? You already have a text to speech engine of sorts installed whether you know it or not. The problem is that SOME engines clash with some code in Acrobat that you won't be using, which lies in AFILL32. By downloading this file you get a DIFFERENT engine that doesn't upset Acrobat. Many windows problems are subtle, hard to explain, and involve the interaction of more than one program. If they didn't, they would never have made it out of the door. Unfortunately there are billions of possible combinations of programs, none of which are perfect, and this sort of thing happens.

And, using files that have been made using the 'Print Optimized' option is part of the problem. What happens is that, for every page, Distiller embeds a subset of all the fonts required to print the file (unless you specifically tweaked the subset percentage down from 100%). Acrobat then attempts to download all those fonts, for every page. So, here's two things that worked for us, without re-doing everything: either force Acrobat to print using Postscript level 1... or, switch to the PCL driver for the HP. Depending on what you're trying to do, one of these options should work for you. Of course, if you still have the PS around, I'd advise re-distilling, and setting the font subset percentage down to a more reasonable 20-30%. Which will mean that most of your fonts will only be embedded once.

I seem to recall that in the promotional material for Acrobat 3 one of the advantages was that Distiller could run over a network on a server. This was why Distiller lets you specify more than one watched folder. In fact the standard window would show the first 15 or so entires in a scrollable list where the the maximum was something like 100 watched folders. WHO is ever going to use that many IF they DON'T make some use of sharing over a network. Acrobat 4 then specifically changed this by stating in Distiller's watched folder dialog that any such sharing of the program that was not for personal use is illegal - yet the scrollable window remains able to list a large number of watched folders - far more than ever required for personal use. Presumably it is OK for an organisation to buy enough copies and then choose to configure one of those on an in-house server while the other copies remain in their box. Of course Adobe want to sell a copy of Acrobat to every user, there just seem to be come conflicting 'messages' between the software and the licence wording.

The touch-up tool can only be used to copy and paste PDF objects from one PDF file to another PDF file. Not to export to a different application.

The solution would help us get to PDF though (bear with me on this issue). When opening a document that contains OLE graphics in Word, the Windows system resources go from 89% to 0 % just by doing some very small modifications to the document.

The symptom you describe would happen if you distill several files with subsetting on, and then merge the resulting PDFs into a single document. In that case the merged document will likely have duplicate copies of fonts, because the subsetted fonts from different documents look like different fonts to Acrobat. But when distilling a single file, you should not see this problem. If you can demonstrate it, I'd be interested in taking a look at the file.

OLE is a resource hungry beast, forcing you to run multiple apps simultaneously, and when it comes to PDF output in a OLE environment, well let's just say that things become prone to problems, especially where graphics are concerned. In theory OLE appears foolproof, but real world experience shows that it can be a fairly problematic workflow when PDF is to be the end result. I can't tell you what to do, but if I were you I would at least do some very extensive testing before undertaking a large conversion job in an OLE environment.

If Reader could save data, it would be named "Saver", wouldn't it? You have a few options: If all your users are running Reader under a web browser, you could set up the web server for the storage of this data. You then have a "submit" function to a CGI script on the server which does the actual storage. You also have a reload function, which would get the data from the server and load it into your form. A similar solution, but not requiring the user to run Acrobat under a web browser, requires some additional programming, but seems to work particularly well with Reader. It is possible to use the weblink command to send information to a server, which then takes care of the rest. The next higher level are the Acrobat Business Tools, which are most likely what you would need. As you say you are in a huge corporation, you can profit from their aggressive pricing for volume plans; talk to your Adobe distributor for details. Hope, this can help.

The AdobePS 5.x drivers do not install under Windows 2000. (2) The PostScript printer driver that ships with Windows 2000 is the result of a joint project of Adobe and Microsoft. It is functionally equivalent to AdobePS 5.1.1+. (3) There is an updated PostScript printer driver already posted on Microsoft's Windows 2000 update site. This update resolves a severe incompatibility problem between FrameMaker 5.5.x and the PostScript printer driver for generating Acrobat data and for separations printing. This updated driver is functionally equivalent to AdobePS 5.1.2. The URL to obtain this updated driver is: (4) There is currently NO facility to create printer instances with the PostScript printer driver using any general user-specified PPD as you currently may with the AdobePS PostScript printer drivers with Windows NT 4. You must use the "Add Printer" wizard within the Printers window. The Microsoft-provided, abbreviated PPD files may or may not directly correspond to the PPD files you currently have and/or really need. And not all printer models may be included with the wizard. "Fixing" the wizard to correct this problem requires hacking around with .inf files. We recommend that you "don't try this at home!" (5) To address the very severe shortcomings of (4) above, Adobe is currently completing the testing of a comprehensive Windows PostScript printer driver installation package for ALL "current" versions of Windows (Windows'9x, Windows NT 4, and Windows 2000). Based upon the version of Windows detected, this installer installs the latest version of the driver (AdobePS 4.x for Windows'9x, AdobePS 5.x for Windows NT 4, or uses the system driver for Windows 2000), and provides the capability of creating new printer instances based on user-specified PPD files. (6) Installation of Acrobat 4.05a under Windows 2000 does automatically create a printer instance for the Acrobat Distiller printer using the correct Distiller PPD along with the system PostScript driver! (7) For users upgrading a Windows NT 4 system to Windows 2000 ... Existing driver instances using AdobePS 5.1.x actually continue to work under Window 2000, albeit with a different user interface than the native Windows 2000 driver. However, new printer instances using AdobePS 5.1.x cannot be created once the system is upgraded to Windows 2000. (8) Type 1 font support in terms of simple installation, screen display, and driver integration is now provided natively by Windows 2000. ATM (Adobe Type Manager) now has only two functions under Window 2000: (a) The full version of ATM provides true font management functions in terms of activation, deactivation, etc. of fonts and sets of fonts. (These functions are NOT provided by the "lite" version of ATM!) (b) Multiple Masters font instances are NOT supported natively via Windows 2000. ATM continues to provide such support. The existing current version of ATM for Windows NT 4, ATM 4.0, is reported to work as a font manager under Windows 2000 although a new version of ATM, specifically tested for Windows 2000, will be available in a few months. (9) InDesign 1.0 for Windows does not support the native Windows 2000 PostScript driver. A version that does fully provide such support will be available within a few months. - Dov ___________ * NOW SHOWING @ http://www.PDFzone.com/ * ____________ Contributing Writer: AcroForm Advisor Kas Thomas offers tips on improving the speed of your PDF JavaScript. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22-Feb-2000 9:28:20-GMT,2488;000000000000 Return-Path: Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id CAA02621 for ; Tue, 22 Feb 2000 02:28:18 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA00702; Tue, 22 Feb 2000 03:07:31 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 22 Feb 2000 02:59:47 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA00073; Tue, 22 Feb 2000 02:59:45 -0600 Message-ID: <38B24FBA.4DFB226A@i2000.es> Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 09:58:34 +0100 From: Alvaro de la Hera Martinez Organization: Interlinea2000 Comunicaciones, S.A.

Certainly the first. Don't use PDFWriter with the sort of applications used in pre-press. You might try this: save a Freehand file as an EPS. Distill that. Check it carefully, especially fonts (alawys use View > Local fonts switched OFF to check) and page size. Test on a sample of files. If that is OK, here is a streamlined method. Set up a watched folder, say c:\watched. Add this to Distiller's list of watched folders. Create c:\watched\in and c:\watched\out. Save EPS files (if this works well) into the IN folder, and PDF files will appear in the out folder. This may at least make it a little less painful. Remember to keep all of the names unique, because Distiller will overwrite without warning. And, on the web site, be sure to organise into plenty of folders. A single folder with 5000 files is bad news on a web server.

However, if I'm reading correctly, you want to use AppleScript to automate the process of opening the files and printing them to the watched folder. This should be possible without too much trouble. I'm on my home machine which doesn't have Freehand on it, so I don't have access to the app's AppleScript dictionary, but I can take a look later today. Do you have any experience in scripting? If so, just look at the Freehand dictionary using Script Editor. If not, e-mail me offlist and I'll help you write something that will work.

This book will be distributed in hardcopy plus CD and over the web. Book consist of 90+ pages with 9000 street names. Pdfs are created from Autocad 14 drawing using M-color, a third party produce for this purpose. I have used this for some time for printing. Street indexes are in access. Maps are basically layout in 1 mile grids with each street indexed to a grid and page. I would like to make a bookmark for each grid and by some pdf magic link existing data base to these bookmarks creating bookmarks for each street name. CD distribution will need a index page to link name to page/grid. Web version will use a HTML index with each page down loaded separately, with a bookmark for each name on page. I basically need help in "how to" create these bookmark. Any suggestion will appreciated.

For what you say you want, I would try using Ambia Compose plug-in (although it is not compatible with Acrobat 4.x) or look for a product like it. It has a "Bookmarks by Example" function that allows you to set a view zoom that can be inherited for each bookmark and a "Select Heading Styles" function that allows you to specify which style of text to bookmark. I would also check the integrity of your street names. Sometimes when text is distilled, it gets separated into individual letters or groups of letters within words. This might reduce the effectiveness of any automated method you try. Also, it sounds like alot of bookmarks. You might instead try Cataloging the maps. Then your users could conduct cross-document searches for street names using Reader + Search. Good luck, -- C.

Before I wrote my last message, I checked the Ambia website which states that Ambia Compose is not compatible with Acrobat 4.x. Then, I just happened upon a Banner at PlanetPDF announcing Compose 4.0 which IS Acrobat 4.x compatible (released 6/1/99). Check out http://www.pdfstore.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=216&pdfsproductid=1048. You can download a demo or buy the product on-line from there (or maybe you can't - it's pricey). WIN only compatible. Somebody at Ambia should wake up (maybe one of our faithful listees)! PDFZone has it wrong also. -- C.

You need a good word processor, A means of automating it, You can then set up a default document (PDF) for the map and its links with dummy names for the streets, etc. Then have have the word processor match the info in the database (change it if necessary) to that in the PDF and put it into the default file in place of the dummy names. Save the new file. Don't optimize until this point! It will make life easier) Running this over and over for each map. I would recommend the Mac OS, as it is very friendly to this kind of work. You would need BBEdit (BBEdit Lite might work), and the systems Applescript. It might take you a few hours to set up, but then it'll run like crazy. If you apply the script to a folder it will do the job for all files contained. You can alter the script at will to change info for the web/CD/etc. -- Jason Belec :)~ Digital Workflows Specialist, especially PDF pdfworkflows@home.com "It's always easy, we just think too hard..."

The text-to-speech engine that is new to 4.05 is mostly for dealing with forms. It does not allow for reading page contents. Also, the TTS features are not auto-configured upon installing a 4.05 viewer. You need to make sure several things are installed (TTS engine, plug-in level JavaScript file, sound cue files) and enable it via the TTS preferences. Finally, it only works with Windows at this time. You can place text that matches (some of) page contents in a form field and have it read, and otherwise control the TTS features through JavaScript. There are many possibilities.

I've been tinkering with the Pitstop demo to see how it would be useful to us. Although Distiller is set to downsample bitmap images to 72 dpi, Pitstop showed me that the EPS image in the ad was a 300 dpi RGB graphic in the resulting PDF document. At 8"x6" it's quite large and swells the PDF file size. We don't have any need right now for all the nice editing features of Pitstop, since these documents are heavily crafted in Quark XPress (as print documents) before they arrive at the distillation stage. I had hoped Pitstop would help me automate downsampling these images, but I don't see that function in its Action possibilities. I can use Acrobat's image edit feature, bring up Photoshop, resize/resample image, then re-paste it into the PDF file, try to size it correctly, position it correctly... (when it's resampled it shrinks, although the print size remains the same) and Acrobat is not a nice page layout tool. So, that's just not a useful solution. It seems to me it's better to have the ads made ahead of time as screen-optimized PDF pages, and just swap them during preflight stage. I liked the report function and the preflight profile system, it gives a wealth of information. The Enfocus Pitstop manual is informative about PDF technology. The only issues we have right now are with large EPS graphics. Besides telling me their resolution, I don't see any other purpose that Pitstop would serve in our environment. Am I missing something? Thanks for your encouragement to go forward with binary files! Our systems people concur... the ASCII encode format of PDFs was one of those lingering holdovers from years back. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Belec [SMTP:pdfworkflows@home.com] > Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2000 5:32 PM > To: DBrewster@snl.com > Subject: Re: [PDF] convert print documents to screen > > http://www.enfocus.com/ > > for Pitstop 30 days free trial full save version!

To show the navigation pane again, click the Show Navigation Pane button on the command bar. Deselect Hide After Use in the navigation pane's palette menu if you want the navigation pane to remain open after you click a bookmark. I turned to this documentation when suddenly the navigation pane started disappearing on me every time I clicked on a bookmark. This issue revealed some problems with the Acrobat documentation that I'd like to raise. First of all, on page 43 of the Guide, the "window" that displays the bookmarks is called the navigation palette. Then on the next page (44), it's referred to as the navigation pane. To make it even more confusing, nowhere does it say HOW to access the palette menu for the navigation pane (or whatever it's called). Only because I was already familiar with the Windows technique did I think to try right-clicking in that pane. When the menu was displayed, I was then able to uncheck the option to "Hide After Use," which solved my immediate problem. However, in an effort to spare my users from this same frustration, I went into the Acrobat Guide for Acrobat (formerly known as "Exchange") version 4.0 and searched for information on this "Hide After Use" feature/command and have found nothing. Is it really true that the document creator can "activate" this (either on or off) and if so, how?

Here's the setup: -Source files in Interleaf7 on a PC. -Distill using Distiller 4.0, with 3.0 compatibility (end users still have 3.0, not 4.0) -Bring files into Acrobat Exchange 3.0 to add bookmarks. -Batch Optimize -Send to customer The problem: When the customer opens some of the files, she get the error message "Read less image data than expected. This file contains info not understood by the viewer". The result is "hole" where text and images should be. The bigger problem: Using Reader 3.0 on my system, I cannot make these error messages appear and therefore I don't know there is a problem until my customer notifies me. I make lots of PDFs from lots of Interleaf files. This problem only happens with this customer. And it happens sporadically with Distiller 3.0, but is a big mess with 4.0. I looked up this error message on Adobe's website and see the fix is to use Distiller 3.0 instead of 4.0 with 3.0 compatibility like had done. Making new PDFs using Distiller 3.0 did fix the errors and I have no problem sticking with Distiller 3.0 for now, but what I *really* want to understand and fix, is why the customer is getting the errors and I am not. It is hard to test or fix a problem I can't see. Any ideas? Thanks much for your input.

Adobe's lawyers probably have more exciting things to do than hang around mailing lists, and the technical people are very unlikely to venture a legal opinion, which is why this issue is never likely to be resolved in the lists. There is endless sophistry about whether software license agreements are legal at all (since you don't sign them etc. etc.) but that doesn't stop companies agreeing to pay millions of dollars in damages for infringement. I'd just say this: Adobe can probably afford much better lawyers than your customer. (Or not, it depends on the customer, I suppose.) And penalties for conviction of piracy are HIGH (in some countries including imprisonment of the directors). What company would take such a lunatic risk to save a few measly bucks.

I've been tinkering with the Pitstop demo to see how it would be useful to us. Although Distiller is set to downsample bitmap images to 72 dpi, Pitstop showed me that the EPS image in the ad was a 300 dpi RGB graphic in the resulting PDF document. At 8"x6" it's quite large and swells the PDF file size. We don't have any need right now for all the nice editing features of Pitstop, since these documents are heavily crafted in Quark XPress (as print documents) before they arrive at the distillation stage. I had hoped Pitstop would help me automate downsampling these images, but I don't see that function in its Action possibilities. I can use Acrobat's image edit feature, bring up Photoshop, resize/resample image, then re-paste it into the PDF file, try to size it correctly, position it correctly... (when it's resampled it shrinks, although the print size remains the same) and Acrobat is not a nice page layout tool. So, that's just not a useful solution. It seems to me it's better to have the ads made ahead of time as screen-optimized PDF pages, and just swap them during preflight stage. I liked the report function and the preflight profile system, it gives a wealth of information. The Enfocus Pitstop manual is informative about PDF technology.

Two thoughts - 1 - Take a look at CoVia Team On-line (http://www.covia.com/). They are the experts at multiple user posting and retrieving PDFs over intranets and internets. It may be more than you need but you may find that your needs expand as you get into it. 2 - Take a look at the McMaster-Carr catalog (http://www.mcmaster-carr.com/). This industrial supplies company has built an online PDF equivalent of their massive printed catalog complete with e-commerce shopping cart. You might pick up some pointers or use it to demonstrate how PDF catalogs look and work. HTH, -- C.

Also put the right info set into the General Info ID for each PDF. This greatly increases the ability to do a "search" Last but not least, have people use Reader W/search to do the searches because the Reader plug-in, by itself, does not do multi- document searches. The only other way to do this without a database and a PDF search engine (SFS-Verity) is to check out how folks are using plug-in like Compose to leverage PDFs.

It's an interesting question whether upgrades to it inherited the more permissive license. In the next few months there will be a new Distiller server product.

In this case the user had installed a "Distiller Server" for occasional needs of PDF:s (for sending documets to a docutech printing service) while those who create PDF daily/monthly have their own PDF-licenses installed to their workstations. For this user it was a surprise that in version 4 it was clearly mentioned that "providing services" -- providing "watched folders" for other users is not allowed, because it wasn't mentioned in the previous manuals. In this case the occasional users returned to sending postscript files to their Docutech service provider.

But you are right, the only reliable solution for merging locked documents is to get back to their unlocked version. It is a good idea anyway to have an unlocked version of any locked form around. With this, you can continue working on it, and create a distribution copy when you are done. Hope, this can help.

I'm not a 100% XML expert yet, but I can't imaging any two formats further apart than PDF and XML. PDF is a purely presentational format that has no 'understanding' of the underlying structure of the data. XML is intended to represent the actual structure of the information, with no idea of how to present the data. That said, you're best bet is to work off of the original documents that the PDF's were created from. These will hopefully have a little more structure to them than the PDF's...

Reviewer basically won't function if you remove the TT fonts from the system. All you can do is add the Type 1 fonts, then change the font usage in each page as you open it in Reviewer from TT to Type 1. You can "Control-A" to select all the text on the page, then set the whole page to your "base font", then go through the page changing font usage to other Type 1 fonts as appropriate. There are other workflows for different instances of font usage, but this is the basic font normalization process - in Reviewer 2.01. > Reviewer now doesn't >recognized the words as any fonts now- is there a way to change the >settings so I don't have to manually change each and every word to my >desired fonts?

That's just the way Reviewer is. It insists on the presence of TT fonts on the system, it defaults to TT fonts, and there is no global font management in Capture 2.01, and no way to hard-wire it either.. Capture 3.0 does address these issues, so you might just want to wait for that.

If possible in your situation, I think it'd be far simpler to put a PDF on a shared network drive that your users have access to. Said PDF to be, in effect, a catalog of document descriptions, each with a link to the relevant document. Simple and quick. And by doing a bit more work (indexing the PDF collection with Catalog, perhaps building a simple PDF-based front end document) you could offer full text search across the entire library of PDFs.

Indeed, each link can be new window yes, or no - or neither in which case the user's preference takes place. It seems to be popular to use JavaScript to change the user's preference without warning - this seems to be very bad manners, to believe the designer's wishes take precedence over the user's preferences for all future documents... I would certainly reject documents which started messing with my preferences, and view all future documents from that source with great suspicion. Actually, I believe Adobe should remove features from JavaScript which allow permanent changes to the user environment, they have no place in a document, and I can see no legitimate use for them. Sadly, there is no user interface to set the new window option on cross-document links. Who would like a plug-in to do this...?

However, it is about as crude as have the user set the preference manually. On the other hand, I have some serious doubts that many of the "average" users ever looked at the preference settings at all. According to the documentation, this mentioned JavaScript has originally intended for a "Config.js" file which would be on application level, and allowing setting up a controlled environment. This _is not_ intrusive, but can be a necessity for office environments or CD-ROM applications. But, as said, fiddling with the preferences for controlling individual instances is very crude. I agree that it is a shame that we have no easy direct way to control the opening behaviour for individual links. However, the bits and pieces for doing so are all laying around. One approach is using Button form fields for opening the next documents. Still, it is not possible to just check a box for opening in a new window or not, but with form fields, it is possible to add this information afterwards via a FDF. Keep in mind that FDFs are not only for exporting data from a form; an FDF can do much more ... it's all in the specs. So, this easily handles the form field question for already existing documents. As it is sometimes much better to open other documents via Links, we need a solution for this. According to the specs, the /newWindow parameter also exists. The problem is simply how to control it. I think the most obvious (and probably comfortable) way would be to persuade Daniel-Ari Feinberg to add this functionality into the next version of Ari's Link Tool. The reason is that for managing links, this tool is needed anyway, and an user who wants to control the opening behaviour of individual links also wants to control more aspects of the links ... which is already implemented in the Link Tools. With these two methods, existing documents would be covered. Now, we would also need a tool to control the opening behaviour on the document generation level. This is essentially possible via PDFMARK commands. For form fields, again, it is easy, as we already have to set up the PDFMARK commands for generating the form fields at the first place; so, this is simply an addition to the code. For links, it may be a bit more difficult, as we usually do not manually define the links via PDFMARK, but let the application do this. It would still be possible to add the /NewWindow parameter, but it would be a kludge, as we would have to manipulate the PS file before distilling. The procedure would be parsing the PS document for /GoToR lines and add the appropriate command there. I guess this should be possible with text manipulation tools, such as grep. In conclusion, I don't really think that there would be a need for an additional plug-in, but see if we can get more functionality into Ari's Link Tool. For buttons, it would be easy to create a little JavaScript based application for creating the appropriate FDF to "innoculate" the buttons. Hope, this can help.

Surely it would make a lot of sense to have one central resource where users could find out whether their chosen font is embeddable or not prior to starting a project? Indeed, trying to ascertain whether a font is suitable for this can be problematical in itself: the only utility I have been able to find which furnishes this information is a program called TYPOGRAF, out of a German firm ({ HYPERLINK http://www.neuber.com Times New Roman}0000,0000,FF00http://www.neuber.com0100,0100,0100Tahoma) This is the program I=92m hoping to use in an effort to obtain some sort of resolution to this problem. While licensed fonts have their (rightful) place in the scheme of things, they aren=92t of any use in this aspect of work. In my experience, even purchasing the fonts (for instance, on a CD) doesn't guarantee your ability to be able to use them in this regard. OK, one way around this would be to distribute the chosen font with the PDF, but surely this defeats the object of the PDF format in the first place...that of having a sealed document which will appear the same as stands regardless of the platform on which it is viewed. I=92ve came up with what (I think) may be a workable solution. I am proposing to compile an updatable list of fonts (which could later be compiled into a series of databases/distributable PDF files) of material which can/cannot be embedded (initially for the PC platform, but open to suggestions/contributions from other plaforms). What do other users think? Would such an enterprise be useful to you? Would you be willing to contribute a list of your fonts to this enterprise? I propose to start working initially on the fonts which I have installed on system, and then working through my (fairly large) archive of material, firstly compiling a list of embeddable against non-embeddable (is there such a word??), ultimately expanding this to include other information on the fonts, such as source URL etc. This would at least give us a starting point for this project. Folks, let's not mess around with this problem any longer....too much time, money and stress has been wasted on it already. Let's get together and DO something about it. Without one side or the other preparing to do something, the present (unsatisfactory) state of affairs will continue. Don=92t wait on the industry doing anything about it=85.this one is down to the user. After all, it=92s only the user who is affected=85.. I would welcome your thoughts/suggestions/brickbats.

I'm not sure whether you are more concerned with whether a font is CAPABLE of being embedded or can LEGALLY be embedded. I haven't had much trouble with embedding fonts so let me assume that you are talking about LEGAL fonts to embed. If I ever have questions about fonts that are legally embeddable my first course of action is to verify the font manufacturer. Since I use Font Reserve on my Mac to manage my fonts and Font Reserve identifies every manufacturer for every font, I find that this gives me a pretty good idea of the license availability for embedding of that font. Adobe fonts, for instance, are a good bet. I agree that it would be useful to know which manufacturers are restricting use of their fonts for embedding. Heaven forbid we should all receive one of those nuisance court papers for license infringement in the mail. -- C.

A couple problems I can see with this: The embedding behavior changes between versions of Acrobat (and even between 4.0 and 4.05) so you'd have to maintain three lists, not one, at least for the near term. I don't know how often this happens, but what if a fairly large distributor of fonts, say Corel with their big collection of Bitstream TT and T1 fonts, changes the embeddability from one version to another? You'd have to list the fonts from each version of each product (and bear in mind that there's no way to tell which version you have, at least not easily) so knowing that the T1 BlarpoBold from Draw 8 wasn't embeddable but the version from Draw 9 is might not be particularly useful. To use such a list, you'd have to keep it updated fairly often and scan through it checking each font for every project. ISTR that MS has a font utility of some sort that allows you to rightclick a font (TT only? TT & T1? I don't know) and check embeddability on the spot. It seems to me that this would be simpler, faster, and would obviate the need for a lot of work on somebody's part keeping a comprehensive font list up to date.

I do not know any way around this. The real trick is making the installation process as automatic as possible cross-platform. What I would like to know is if anyone on this list has auto-install scripts FOR EACH PLATFORM that: 1) sense whether QT is installed (and what version), 2) finds and installs the update from the CD or over the internet, and then 3) launches Reader (+ Search) from the CD. The sad part about this is that many CD users turn off their "autorun" capabilities for fear of viruses so that regardless of what you do to automate your interface, you need to create a manual install alternative that is also easy to use. -- C.

One thing I have done is this. I use Automenu Studio Pro to create autorun menus for my CD's. One important feature of this is that it can query the registry and determine, based on what you tell it to look for, whether or not QT needs to be installed. At that point, the menu would only display the "install QT" menu choice. Once that's done, it can display the rest of the choices, like "run main PDF file" to start your app. Or, even better, just make it a requirement that they install QT4 no matter what. The basic install is quite small. This may be a little intrusive, however. If you install from a menu choice in AMSP, it can install a key into the registry wherever you want and then the menu can query that key and determine if it's OK to display the rest of the menu items. I'd make that determination based on who my clients are and what I know their expertise level is. Jerry W.

When doing that, I include a hard laser copy. When sending by e-mail or uploading for ftp, I include a TIF or JPG generated from the original source application. I don't have control over what vendors are used, and can't afford any mistakes. With a hard copy or TIF, I know that the vendor has something to compare the .pdf file to that is immutable. To answer the original question, there is a MAC OS Xtention called TIFF Xport that saves the Quark document as TIF files. It's only 400 dpi, so it may not be suitable for your actual pre-press, but it will alert your vendor to font issues. http://www.quark.com/products/xtensions/ I don't know of a way to convert text to paths in Quark without going through Illustrator though.

It is easy to make the mistake of equating the technical "this font will not embed" issue with the legal "this font is not allowed to be embedded" issue. These are not the same. It is sensible for a font manufacturer to mark their TrueType fonts as "do not embed" if this is the license term, but they DO NOT HAVE TO DO SO. So, it is up to you to check the font license for every single font you buy. This is, of course, a pain, but this is the legal position since fonts are not convered by a generic license.

When you submit a PDF form you can choose HTML format. I don't know if you can give the form a name, that isn't a feature much used. You can create hidden fields in a PDF just the same as HTML. PDF form fields can be invisible. I suspect you may be completely stuck, however, because there is no way to specific a METHOD for a form. This implies you may need a CGI or ASP to intercede between your form and the database.

I need to ensure that the PDF files I create will always use my fonts, and not substitute local versions, and also that people I send them to can edit the files, if necessary. So, I infer from the Adobe documentation that I need to create a font subset, in order to stop other computers subsituting their local versions of the fonts I have used. If I select 100% font subset, then the distilled PDF file will always contain only those characters used in the document, as the percentage is the value BELOW which a subset of the character set is created. Therefore, to ensure that the whole of the character set is available, for editing, I need to set a much lower percentage - say 1% to be safe? All contributions gratefully received.

If you don't want a subset, switch off subsetting. If you do want subsetting, switch it on! That is, I think you may be misunderstanding the percentage. The percentage is used like this. For each used font, Acrobat works out what percentage of the characters were used. 1. If the percentage is LESS than the subset threshold, a subset is created, containing only the characters used. 2. If the percentage is MORE than the subset threshold, the entire font is embedded, not any kind of subset. If a subset is embedded it cannot be used for editing because it may have missing characters. (Though PitStop will do the best it can with the characters you have; Acrobat will not try). To edit characters in Acrobat, you must also have a copy of the font installed on the EDITING system. So, if you want to allow late editing, you need to ensure that all of your fonts are licensed to the downstream users, and that they have access to them.

It is an interesting question whether this is a legal solution. Since, if the font may not be embedded, is it not the case that any trick to do so remains a violation of the font license? This is a very difficult area but in fact I believe you are in the clear. It is something to do with the fact that a font is an actual program which can therefore be copyrighted. But once it is outlines, it is a simple shape which cannot be. On the other hand, I heard that the law was changing in regard to fonts....

I have a link in a primary ASP (#1) that calls a second asp(#2). The query string received includes a PDF file name. The file #2 first connects to SQL Server to track use of the PDF file, then does Response.Redirect filename.PDF. It all works except that for some reason the ASP #2 is called 3 times resulting in 3 new records in the database vs just 1 record. I know its 3 separate accesses because I put a delay timer in the ASP and looked at the time differences for the record in the database. That assured me that it's not a problem with my SQL statement. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks.
