Simon, At my newspaper our RIPs use Harlequin ScriptWorks v5.3R1 (Actually I believe the software is 'APS Grafix RIP'). This software handles CID encoded fonts just fine, IF the PDF is printed from Acrobat 4.05. When we print the very same PDF from Acrobat 5.05, the RIP throws an error. However, if Acrobat 5.05 creates an EPS which is then embedded into Quark 4.11, it also prints fine. (The Acrobat software is running under MAC OS 9.22, Quark is running under the same as well as v4.11 for the PC under Win2000.) Agfa has told me that this is a known problem that was fixed in a newer version of their RIP software. chris denesha Advertising Systems Support Analyst, IT The Day Publishing Company (860)701-4485; OR (800)542-3354, X485 c.denesha at theday dot com - Work email cmd-list at 99main dot com - List email At 11:55 AM 3/24/2004 +1100, you wrote: All: Anyone have any particular instances of this problem ie anecdotal evidence that I can use to point out where, exactly, the problem lies? Specific software packages, RIPs or prepress suggestions would be good so that I can take this issue back to them on a technical footing.
