From what Darcy says, the replacement of AppleWorks supports PDFs no problem. AppleWorks6 dates back to when OSX first came out, so the fact that they can be imported at all is surprising. I guess I will be looking into replacing my venerable AppleWorks. I kinda liked it; so I hope they
Hi Darcy,
I had already looked at the system profiler and determined that I
have an nVidia card - too bad! (I know, it's hard to tell from some
of my posts what level of Mac savvy I have because there are a few
things about which I know a little, and others about which I know

Hey Chuck,
If it's any consolation, I would guess that support for screen rotation
on nVidia cards is in the works. After all, Apple write the nVidia
drivers themselves (nVidia provide only the hardware design), and the
current situation is a bit of a nightmare.
It's actually disappointing

At any rate, the retail ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Edition supports screen
rotation through ATI's Versavision software even if the OS doesn't
support it, and it's not *that* expensive ($125 or so).
Just a word of advice - if you buy the 9200, just make sure that you buy

In an exchange with MacSupport, they told me that the ultra low-res

I should add, you can also open existing EPS files in Preview and

Hi Chris,
That's not a problem with the PDF, that's (evidently) a problem with
AppleWorks. I don't have AppleWorks so I can't test, but this sounds
similar to the problem importing PDFs into Word, which has absolutely
awful graphics handling.
You would have the same distortion problems if

Hi David,
The problems with Word's PDF importing are not a question of default
settings. The problem is that the outline fonts and line graphics in
PDF's are automatically rasterized when you import them -- and
rasterized at an unprintably low resolution. There is, as far as I
know, no way

It's the same card as my G5 1.8 Dual, and it supports screen
rotation. I don't know if all monitors are supported but I'd guess
your graphic card is ok.

Chuck,
Screen rotation is supported at the OS level for 10.4. You should be
able to use screen rotation with your existing video card once you
upgrade to 10.4.

Hi Darcy,
So say you, and others, but there's no place I can find (I am on
10.4) where I can access that.
What am I missing? I have been directed to Syatem prefs - displays
by others (John Bell, if I remember correctly) but there's nothing
there to indicate a possibility of rotation.
Hi Chuck,
Looking into this further, it seems there's a fair bit of confusion
about the issue at the moment. So far as I can tell, the leading
theory is that screen rotation is only supported on ATI video cards,
not (yet) on nVidia cards -- which is possibly why Apple hasn't
promoted this
