Re: [PDF-Basics] Which software required?

[Edward Becker]

As an addendum, although it's correct that a Mac doesn't care what name you use for a file it does have its own way of identifying what type a file is. There is a data-fork file and a resource-fork file that is invisible and not created when you save a file on a PC.   If the file is showing up as a plain text, or generic file on you Mac, it means that even though the file is a PDF and is a cross platform file format, the Mac can't recognize it without the fork files.   As a quick fix, open each PDF file on Mac FROM WITHIN Acrobat and resave the file with a .pdf extension to make it compatible on both platforms.     --------------------------------------------- Edward Becker Design Consultant Technology Department MTA Bridges & Tunnels 2 Broadway, 24th Floor New York, NY 10004 646-252-7814 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------- >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/20/2003 2:26:15 PM >>> PDF-Basics is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Did you use acrobat distiller or acrobat printer?
