Slow printing from Acrobat6

2003-08-16 Thread Severin Crisp
I find that printing to either of my Epson Stylus Photo printers from 
Acrobat6 is extremely slow, even for text documents.  It take ages to 
spool the documents then forever to go through the printer.  No such 
problems with WordX or Photoshop7.

Can anyone advise or comment on this

and if so where are they please?

Hi everyone

I have tried over ten times now to post on the WAMUG site but it bounces
back every time. I emailed Matthew Healey for advice but alas no response,
it did not bounce but no reply. I will email here just to see if this works
as a test.  Can you tell me what the 'multipart/alternative,' is. It is no
different to how I usually send an email? My email works fine otherwise. Any
ideas?

Re: Nikon LS30 scanner

2003-08-16 Thread Jon Davison
Hi everyone

Thanks for your prompt replies. Here is the email as posted previously.

A problem has arisen with our Nikon Coolscan 111 LS30 scanner, I wonder has
anyone encountered this?

There appears to be scum on the mirror and it crashes frequently with a
hardware error message. Maxwell Optical say that the factory grease is
vaporising under heat, this leaves scum on the mirror which attracts dust.
Maxwell say they sent a notice to all repair facilities about this and to
use high temp grease. Perth's only registered Nikon service facility says
nonsense, no such thing. We therefore take the scanner in frequently to get
cleaned over and over again, with the same symptoms occurring within a short
time. They clean the dust and all seems well. Before long of course the
grease film is back, which forms a scum on mirror which effects light
reading from mirror, which causes hardware error message (usually to do with
autofocus problem) and then motor jam.
The symptom prior to scan motor jam is that a halo occurs around the
highlights and overall lack of contrast as the grease spray covers the
mirror etc..

What is the effective life of an LS30?
What year did the LS30 arrive on the market?
Does anyone have this on-going problem, if so how have you got around it?

Any information would be appreciated

Thanks
Jon

Re: Slow printing from Acrobat6

2003-08-16 Thread Bob Howells

Hi Severin,

Are you able to use acrobat 5 and how does it perform ?

When Acro 5 first became available I found it would not print to my 
Stylewriter II  printer ,  and still does not. I have to open Acro 4 to 
print to that printer.

( Its easy to refill the cartridge for the stylewriter )

( using OS9.1 )I can print Acro5 to an Epson I have.

Conclusions were that the new version needed heaps of memory in the printer.

Cheers

Bob

pdf problems

2003-08-16 Thread Jason Spittlehouse

hi there

new to macs but am having a problem with pdfs that i dont seem to be 
able to fix from looking at web.


am modifying excel files originally created on a Windows98 machine in 
excel2000 and saving as xls on mac - no problems with those. however, 
the pdf files created from these are unreadable on a pc in either 
acrobat reader version 5 or 6.


no problems reading pdfs created from brand new mac files in excel.

thus far havent seen this in any other application.

any advice would be much appreciated

thanks
