The purpose of this list is to provide good advice, or assistance, in helping someone solve a problem. While I prefer my Mac for design, I work equally well on both platforms, and use both OS X and Windows XP on a daily basis. Whether one uses a Mac or a PC for just about any task is a matter of personal preference. This user needs to install a Virtual Postscript printer. The latest driver can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com. She should also download an Acrobat Distiller PPD. This needs to be installed manually in two places: 1. System Folder > Preferences > Extensions > Printing. I'm trying to recollect the path from memory, but it's where all the other PPDs are. 2. Pagemaker Folder > RSRC. When making a PDF one chooses the Adobe PS Printer and in the case of Pagemaker, the Acrobat Distiller PPD. Let's remember we often need simple fixes to problems that are befuddling us...we don't need to be scolded and told we need a difference machine. Good luck.

I cannot get my PageMaker 7.0 or Freehand 8 files to produce PDF's. I am using an Apple computer Mac OS 9.2.2. My postscript driver (printer is LaserJet 4V). I use Distiller 5.0. I keep getting an error message that says warning PostScript error, No PDF produced. The only thing I can do is export to as a PDF in Freehand, however it does not retain my postscript fonts or produce separations. In PageMaker it will not run through Distiller at all, it goes as far as downloading the postscript fonts but will not create the PDF. I am working with files that need to be color separated, retain their fonts, crop marks, etc., for output to various commercial print vendors. >> >> Thanks for any help you can provide. >> >> Dawn >> >> > To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfbasics.html
