Well, yes, but that's because their own PDF software, UQ PDF doesn't work on the latest Mac System. I don't think this is particularly helpful to anyone not sending stuff to the University of Queens, since they request any PDF to be sent through this proprietary software, which probably deals with all their settings. They will not allow any other PDFs either.
to clarify, I'm not suggesting anyone should send their stuff to UQ Printery. I found their suggestions very helpful, that's all. Yes, they provide the UQ PDF software (Adobe) as a 'one stop shop' front end for clients (PC/Macs including LaTex users etc) who don't want to mess around with Acrobat settings. However, IMHO their info does spell out some handy tips and background (eg the FAQ on PCL and postscript stuff). In my case, my inquiry to the Printery was greeted by a very knowledgeable tech support who provided an FTP space for uploads. The uploaded ps file was distilled at their end. I then downloaded the resultant pdf and checked at my end that all fonts had been properly distilled and compressed graphics were OK etc. Also the advice and settings especially the handling of line art/text and graphics (when requesting a pdf from a publisher at http://www.printery.bs.uq.edu.au/theses/theses_advice.htm) I found particularly useful.
