PDF size blowout
I've got an 8 page PDF (1.5Mb). I've opened a single page in Adobe Illustrator to make some changes (delete a line of text and add a caption) and resaved the document. It's now a whopping 5Mb and remains that way after trying to use Acrobat to reduce the file size. Any ideas on a solution - I'm not exactly sure where the original document is that was used to create the PDF (probably a Word file). Cheers, Antony.
Re: PDF size blowout
Hi Anthony, If possible save the the individual page as an EPS from Illustrator and distill that. Illustrator, Photoshop and even InDesign make pretty large PDF files. Then just add it back to your document. Kind regards, Kelly On 3/13/06, Antony N. Lord [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got an 8 page PDF (1.5Mb).

Firefox Problem
I recently swapped from Safari to Firefox 1.0.7. I had tried an earlier version of Firefox and had no problems except that I could not import my Safari bookmarks. [G4 Quicksilver, OS 10.3.8] This version has problems with the windows: 1. The windows only have a scrolling arrow for going up, you can't scroll down a line at a time. You have to go down a screen at a time and then you can go up a line at a time 2. When more than one tab is open it shows part of the first tab underneath (in the book marks window area). Refreshing gets rid of it but it comes back. 3. On some sites the frames are not lined up. On the Devon FHS Map page http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/maps.htm the map is displaced down and to the left and you can't scroll down the window with the list of parishes (no scrolling arrows at all). To get to the Ws you have to use the down arrow and display them one at a time on the map. No problem with Safari. I have tried all the scrolling options. Any one got any ideas? I am thinking of reverting to Safari! Best wishes to all from Diana

Have you tried updating to the latest Firefox 1.5.0.1? Yvonne On 13/03/2006, at 12:54 PM, Diana Graham Stevens wrote: http://www.devonfhs.org.uk/maps.htm

As it happens the last dmg file is still on the Desktop, exactly the same except for a 1- added to make the name different! But in the about FireFox panel it says Firefox version 1.0.7 and at the bottom of the panel it says: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7 I definitely installed it as my previous version did not have the Import function. I shall re-install from the new dmg file and see what happens. Thanks for your help and also thanks to Lloyd who tried out the DFHS site for me. I shall report back. Diana
Printing problem
I recently posted a problem in printer sharing between my G5 and my wife's G3 iMac, both on 10.4.5. Further investigation has narrowed the problem down to the iMac, it appears something is broken in the printing system. I have removed printer sharing from the equation by installing the printer driver for the Epson SP720 onto the iMac and plugging the printer in to the iMac. As before, Page Setup hangs as does an attempt to retrieve the printer information from Printer Setup. I have let Printer Setup Repair do its stuff to no avail. Interestingly, if I ignore Page Setup it will print or fax successfully. I have a horrible feeling that the advice is going to be a clean install of the system. Any suggestions will be really welcome! Severin Crisp Assoc Professor R Severin Crisp, FIP, CPhys, FAIP 15 Thomas St, Mount Clarence, Albany, 6330, Western Australia.

Re: Firefox Problem
I installed again from the new dmg file. The about Firefox window now has version 1.5.0.1 and two of the problems are cured but there is still no down arrow in the scroll bar. Is this the case with other users or is it just me? Diana

I have let Printer Setup Repair do its stuff to no avail. Interestingly, if I ignore Page Setup it will print or fax successfully. You've described the problem well. In addition to Rob's suggestions, it could be an EPSON-specific problem: have you investigated their technical support options? To help narrow this down, can you please create a faux printer and see if it's Page Setup works or fails? To do this, go into Printer Setup and choose the IP Printer icon. Leave it on LPD, then choose 'localhost' for the address (I assume printer sharing is turned OFF on the iMac), and for Print Using, choose Generic PostScript Printer. Add this printer (optionally set it as your default), and try Page Setup...what happens? I have a horrible feeling that the advice is going to be a clean install of the system. I strongly doubt it's necessary. The problem is that if you're not near anyone who can physical attend to your machine, reinstall is simply the catch-all. However, as you suspect, if the problem is corrupt preferences in your home directory then a reinstallation might not provide any benefit. For corrupt preference, go to the folder Home Library Preferences and look for files starting with com.epson... and com.apple.print You could move them to the trash, log out, log back in, re-select your printer and see if there is any difference. Also, reboot after setting up the EPSON printer in case the EPSON software is not starting up properly. James.
Mozilla and Eudora
I am using Mozilla as my main browser because it accesses my sites for internet banking and does most other things reasonably well. Eudora is my email application and I can set it so that a URL in an email, if clicked, will open in Mozilla. In Mozilla, if I click on an email address Mozilla naturally goes to its own mail application. Is there a work-around so that clicking on an email address in Mozilla will open Eudora? Mozilla 1.7.12, iMac on 10.2.8, Eudora 5.2.1 Advice appreciated. Merv -- Science teaches that we must see in order to believe, but we must also believe in order to see.
Re: Firefox Problem
Hi Dianna, I did install Firefox 1.5.0.1 about 1 week ago and I have the same problem as you do, no down arrow!! I have a G5 1.8Ghz dual running OS X 10.3.9. Apart from this firefox seems to work well. I can't figure this out. Regards, Philippe on 13/3/06 5:49 PM, Diana Graham Stevens at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I installed again from the new dmg file.

I do not have the box checked and if I hit F7 it asks if I want to turn caret browsing on. I am fairly sure it has always been off. I am still using 10.3.8 but Philippe says he has the same problem and he is using 10.3.9. Now it has developed another quirk. If I hide Firefox when I reactivate it the window is mostly blank, the top menus are gone so I can't refresh, but if I ask for a new tab the tab underneath reappears! It is all too difficult, I think I shall have an early night and think about it again in the morning. Diana

I believe this is normally done by setting Eudora as the default app in Mail.app's preferences. I hope that gets around the fact that your browser has it's 'own' mail app. Good luck Paul In Mozilla's preference panel for Mail Newsgroups there appears to be no way of setting Eudora as the default. Were you referring to some other Mail? The only other Mail I have is Apple's Mail and it is different in layout from the one that pops up in Mozilla. The mystery deepens.
