Although they officially only accept PDFs generated with Adobe Acrobat, what they mean, is that they only guarantee that proper PDFs will print. Many tools generate semi rotten PDFs. I usually run 'pdfopt' on a PDF, which web optimizes a PDF by indexing it's resources. Pdfopt usually errors on a rotten PDF, so this _can_ be an indicator whether or not it'll print with Lulu.

Besides this I also noticed the script didn't support Semibold, which to me is very essential. The Bold version of AGaramondPro doesn't have any small caps, and Semibold just looks beter.

[NTG-context] OpenType in ConTeXt
Hi, I managed to install my Adobe OpenType fonts into ConTeXt: texfont --makepath --install --en=texnansi --ve=adobe --co=AdobeGaramondPro --preproc --lcdf However, loading the font like this does not work: \usetypescriptfile[texnansi-adobe-adobegaramondpro] \setupbodyfont[AdobeGaramondPro] Can anybody lend me some aid? Did I mess up the installation? Or am I using the wrong syntax? I'm using TeXlive 2007.

[NTG-context] Background image
Hi, I'm trying to layout a book for Lulu.com. I'm working with a 9"x6" paper size, which is going to be printed on 9.25"x6.25" stock paper to enable full bleed printing. I have managed to get a background image using a background layer. However, I don't seem to be able to get it to the right size. Sample files: http://area42.pcode.nl/context/ In the PDF you can see, that I'm stuck with a white edge. I need the background picture to fill my entire page with no white left. I also need to crop marks to remain on top of the background image. The supplied background image has the same height/width ratio as the stock page. However I would like TeX to stretch the ratio if necessary. I'd appreciate any suggestion on how to achieve this.
