Hello to all,
I have prepared a music book for printing and decided to do it off-
site. I prepared all the music pages in Finale and converted them
to pdf. Other pages such as the cover and table of contents, etc.
were prepared using other programs, such as Photoshop, and also
converted to pdf. Using Adobe Acrobat (v 4) I imported all the
pages and assembled them into a pdf booklet.
When I took them to Kinkos, they were unable to open the pdf
document on their windows based system (I think they use Dell?).
However, they were able to open up the book on a Mac they have on
site. The Mac, however, is not networked so they cannot print from
it. They can only print from the windows based system.
The clerk there said he thinks that you have to specify a platform
when you save the pdf document. This does not sound right to me. I
thought Adove designed the pdf to be available on any platform for
reading and printing regardless of the platform you create it on.
Am I wrong or am I missing something basic here. Has anyone else
encountered this problem? What am I doing wrong?
I am using a mac iBook with Finale 2k5, Photoshop, Appleworks and
Adobe Acrobat 4.0.
The others' advice is probably good, but there is one other issue I
found with a printshop. They had an older version of Adobe Reader
that couldn't interpret my Mac OSX 10.3 PDFs correctly. They were
fine on the latest version of Acrobat Reader. They were also running
Windows 98, which I wasn't expecting either.
