Folks
I have a client who when she creates a ps file from Frmae 7.2 and distills her background boxes look skewed, ie the box narrows in some places and looks normal in others. From what I gathered from her is she creates a box, fills it with a solid color, lays a text box inside and types what ever words she wants or just types a text line inside the filled box. Either way the outside, or simulated shadow box, narrows in some places instead maintaining a constant size.

I tried following her steps and I couldn't get the same results.

She is using ariel font, frame 7.2, distiller 7.0. I was using distiller 6.0.

Any thoughts???

It might have to do with the resolution setting in the AdobePDF printer properties. IIRC, too high a setting can cause problems. On the Layout or Paper/Quality tab, click Advanced, and set the Graphic print quality to 600 dpi.

Also, if the effect she wants is reverse-colour callouts for a graphic or something similar, there's a simpler way. There's no need to draw a separate coloured rectangle. Just insert a text frame, type the text, tag it with a pgf tag that sets the text colour, then select the text frame and set its fill to the background colour.

I'll stop saying Microsoft is arrogant when
Windows stops saying "Welcome" and instead asks "May I?"
