hello listers
thought this might be useful since every now and again threads come
up about the best way to set up PDFs from Finale etc. I've just
discovered a very useful resource from the perspective of a printery
that has to deal with end user generated PDFs or postscript files.
The University of Queensland Printery receives electronic files from
all over the planet plus internally from all faculties so it's well
placed to know about the ins and outs of Postscript and PDFs received
from knowledgeable to barely-computer-literate clients. The links are
concerned with the printing of theses but the advice given about
formatting PDFs and recommending PDF vers.1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) as a base
standard (similar to Adobe's PDF/A (archive) format) has been very
informative, eg for Macs they recommend sending a postscript file and
they then do all the requisite distilling. The FAQ page talks about
postcript emulation and PCL etc.
