Mark-
Thanks for the info. I had just started experimenting with HP PPML and SNAP
when I received your message.
However, I'm puzzled as to why my test file is reporting the following during
PPML creation:
PPML Warning: Rich mode forced on page 738 due to graphic elements
(such as underlines, rules, charts, etc.)
PPML Warning: Rich mode forced on page 738 of a SNAP job may slow down printing
The above, of course, is only a sample as the same message is reported for each
page. The document is comprised of 2 Illustrator CS2 EPS files placed in
InDesign. Each EPS resides on its own page (a front and a back). The front has
been rotated 90ยบ. The FPO variable text has been set in InDesign and is only on
the front. The point sizes are full integers and there isn't any special
formatting applied (underlines, bold, etc.).
Any ideas?
