Re: Exporting/Converting Pages Doc to CMYK
Many thanks to Rob and Ronni I am still on 10.3.9. Worried that as I need to run Outlook for Mac in classic at work (yuk!) that maybe I should stay with 10.3 for a while. So I couldn't try Ronni's option. Have looked at Rob's suggestions. Haven't used ColourSync before but seems like I should pursue this, although I got a bit confused when I first tried it. Have ordered Adobe Creative suite (thanks to a successful funding application and a great Education price). So Distiller is still an option also. Many thanks to you clever people!

I exported it to PDF and took it to the printer who said the fonts and resolution etc were all fine but he had to convert it from RGB to CMYK. He showed me how some of the colours, particularly the blues, were out. He said before I bring him the next Newsletter, I need to convert it to CMYK. I have searched Pages and cannot find any option/ preference/export feature that enables me to do this. Any advice would be gratefully accepted please. ta Rod Hi again people, I've been 'messing around' with a 15 page Newsletter I did in Pages quite some time back. I think I originally just printed the Newsletter and the result was great. I'm using Tiger OSX10.4.2. In Pages instead of Export, Choose File Print, then click on PDF button, choose 'Save As PDF-X'. Would this PDF-X file be what a Printer would require? Yes? In most circumstances and especially if just a black text - grayscale Newsletter. If CMYK I have been informed in most situations the below should work and the final conversion is just a guarantee of a CMYK PDF. Ok, my 15 page 'Newsletter' in Pages I have been using to Test has Text Images. Some pages mostly images. 1. The normal File Print PDF looked perfect on Computer printed perfectly using Epson Printer (RGB). 2. The File Print click on PDF button 'Save As PDF-X' ... Text looks fine, but some sections of images are 'mottled' (similar to a 'interlaced' Muxed video clip) on the Computer. Printer processes PDF-X creating a postscript file, this relevant file becomes separations as I spoke of before hence the need for CMYK information also Epson is not interpreting Postscript hence mottled, I think. To get a proof of image print it to screen through preview. As Apple OS X renders to screen at 72dpi? 3. Doing as Rob suggested - using the normal PDF create a PDFX-3 document, from the quartz filters drop down box. This looks exactly the same as No. 2. 'Save as PDF-X'. Presumably (without getting a Professional Printer to check), the PDF-X produced straight from Pages Print 'Save as PDF-X' is the same result as creating PDFX-3 using ColorSync Utility app. No surprise here of course as ColorSync is doing the job from the Pages app. Apple might have got this right. Exactly only difference with the extra step is guaranteeing CMYK, although as last post I have noticed profile sets dpi at 72 this could be or not be significant check with printer. To prove our point we need our original poster 'Rod Blitvich' to try his next School Newsletter in the 'Save As PDF-X' file and check with his Printer. I would be very interested to know also..

Rod, My IT Dept told me I could only use Outlook for our email system. Since then however, I have managed to get Mail to play nicely with the Exchange Server. Had it working with 10.3, and now in 10.4 It may be worth a try.

Re: Anti Virus Software
Hello Steven, i have recently moved over to ClamAV and found it to work well and to be a fine replacement for products like virex, there was recently a problem found with part of ClamAV that caused Multiple Integer Overflow Vulnerabilities however this has been patched - http://secunia.com/advisories/16250/ overall i'm pretty happy with ClamAV, one of my primary reasons for moving to it apart from cost was the rumourmill from sophos regarding viri for OS X it would appear that they dont know a virus from a root exploit, which concerns me. Also the ClamAV developers have proved that they are on top of problems that occur with ClamAV and are proactive with there fixes cheers Natas On 06/08/2005, at 9:42 PM, Stephen Chape wrote: Hi folks, I know this must sound a bit paranoid but well you just never know.

Fwd: Anti Virus Software (Something Found)
Hi I downloaded and used this software and found (amongst other things) a: Worm.Bagle.Gen-zippwd in my mbox file in the inbox. Does anyone know what the mbox file is and is it safe to remove it (it seems to appear in most other mailboxes)?

You should not delete the mbox because it contains all your mail in that folder. A smarter solution is to create a new mail folder, move the message to there, then purge your mail folders, then scan again. The attachment will now have moved to another file which only has that one message inside it. I should also point out that having a windows virus sitting inside an email file won't actually do anything until you save it and open it inside Windows, either by transferring it to a Windows machine, or by launching a Windows emulator. In short, you really don't need to worry too much about this particular one. -- Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S34°45'36.5 - E139°00'08.7 (Mount Pleasant, SA) -- ()/)/)()..ASCII for Onno.. |?..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..

Re: Exporting/Converting Pages Doc to CMYK
Rod, Had the same issue initially, but solved now. Have a look in preferences - Composing - configure LDAP If you can get your IT people to give you the address, enter it. If not, try ldap.yourdomain and the name or address of your mailserver.

DVDs
I have tried this before but... I have a friend who uses Wintel machines and he gave me a DVD with three 45 minute programs on it. Using iMovie and IDVD I can only get two because the programs say there is too much information to put on the disk. But the same VOB... files are created. How can I get three per disk with Mac machines? Both have menus. tom
