I'm not familiar enough with the pdf format to be able to determine the cause of this, but my guess is that adobe is embedding font definitions in the document, and that's why the green checkmarks and bullets show up ok. This explanation is also consistent with the relative sizes of the two documents, "adobe.pdf" is more than twice the size of "smb_pdf.pdf". Have you checked the content of the postscript file before it is converted to pdf?

I'm having some strange results with my SMB PDF prints and wanted to share them for comments/suggestions. I have 2 examples, one was created by Adobe Acrobat 6 Pro on my XP workstation, and the other was printed to the Linux based SMB PDF printer (on CentOS 4) from Word on my XP workstation. The driver associated with the SMB PDF printer on my workstation is the "HP Business Inkjet 3000 PS" currently (which is a fairly recent driver). I have also tried a wide variety of other PS drivers such as the Color LaserJet 8500 PS, HP LaserJet 4200 PS, and HP LaserJet 4000 Series PS. Although obviously some of these drivers are not color and some are, they all produce the same problems in the resulting PDF. The Adobe one shows the page converted to PDF correctly. The SMB PDF one shows how that setup is not performing up to par. Is there something I may be missing that I haven't thought of or are there some sucky limitations to ps2pdf and ghostscript stuff? http://www.turnpike420.net/~dmcdowell/adobe.pdf http://www.turnpike420.net/~dmcdowell/smb_pdf.pdf thanks, David -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
