    Problems with Adobe Acrobat 6's "Adobe PDF Printer"

    There appears to be a strange problem with the “Adobe PDF Printer” installed by Acrobat 6. First of all, it’s slow, 5 times slower than distilling an identical postscript file. Secondly, I can’t make a PDF/X compliant PDF by using the “PDF Options” in the print driver. Acrobat 6...

    Is OSX moving closer to XP?

    I think feature wise MS and Apple will copy the best of each other for sometime to come. But Apple will continue to offer a computing experience that is far more logical and easy to use than MS. If you've seen preview screenshots of MS's Longhorn the GUI is a miss with an "everything bar the...

    Is OSX moving closer to XP?

    XP and 10.1 where released in the same month (Sept 2001). I know OSX 10.0 was released in March 2001 but it was a joke and didn't become a primetime OS until 10.1 at the very least. Apple is also copying XP's fast user switching.

    Is OSX moving closer to XP?

    There is an old marketing tale that goes like this. If two ice-cream vendors want to compete and profit successfully instead of locating either ends of the beach they both locate next to each other in the middle. Panther now has a Finder that is very much like MS Windows Explorer. MS will...

    10.3 Panther Screenshot (For Real!!)

    I had read somewhere that Apple was bringing new navigation functions to the finder with Pantha. It looks like they are following the "web browser" way of navigating the file system but in a much more logical and simplier way than XP's explorier goes about it. Lets hope and pray that they...

    Quark XPress 6 Pre-Release

    While I agree that PM is on its last version (maybe) FM has a very good following and can't be replaced by ID for long technical docuements. I've read that Apple has done a good job in optimising Pantha to speed up GUI, mutl-threading and support for quad-CPUs.

    Quark 4.1 Screen Re-draw Problem

    I had the same problem with Illustrator until I changed over to Suitcase. The latest version is stable and the auto-activation plug-ins are far better than FR. As for Quark, they have had Apple's engineers helping them alone the way so they should roll out a stable product.

    Help! Quark4.11 & osx10.2.4, files not saved

    I use QXP 4.11 in classic under 10.2.4 but I don't save to a serve. There is a great reader's forum over at MacIntouch <http://www.macintouch.com/quark01.html> regarding saving QPX files to a serve and the associated problems. Good Luck!

    Quark 4.1 Screen Re-draw Problem

    I've tested QXP6 pre-release and it's just slightly faster than ID2 (both running in 10.2.4 with QE enabled) when working in a 24-page full colour magazine. It crashes a lot but that’s to be expected. As per usual, Quark hasn’t implemented the Aqua look and feel properly but Adobe's...

    Suitcase Bridge not passing all font faces to Acrobat Distiller in Classic

    I found them on a French rumour site last month, along with the info on a April release for Acrobat 6. Attached is another. Do a search in Google. Good Luck.

    Suitcase Bridge not passing all font faces to Acrobat Distiller in Classic

    Great, thanks Extensis! I guess we wait until the next version of Acrobat rumored to be released in March/April. (Beta screen shot attached)

    Extensis have just updated Suitcase to v10.2.1. I haven't been able to read any reports as yet but I've downloaded the update and so far so good. Good Luck.

    Quark 4.1 Screen Re-draw Problem

    Sorry guys, tried it and it fixes the display problems when switching between apps in Jaguar but little else. Anyway, I'm learning to live with it and I'm trying to do more work in InDesign v2. I did a table last night and I couldn't believe how easily it handled it. Better than doing them in...

    Suitcase Bridge not passing all font faces to Acrobat Distiller in Classic

    ATM Deluxe works fine in Classic when Suitcase's Classic Bridge is removed from the Extensions folder. I create a lot of Distilled PDFs from Quark 4.1 and Illustrator without any hassles. I don't know much about Freehand but an upgrade to MX might hold the solution for you? If I just could...

    Quark 4.1 Screen Re-draw Problem

    I?ve got a headache with Quark 4.1 running in Classic. When I scroll around, the screen only partly re-freshes and randomly leaves white boxes in its wake. The faster I scroll the bigger the boxes. This doesn?t happen when booting into 9.2.2. I?m running a G4/400 (AGP Graphics) without a video...

    Suitcase Bridge not passing all font faces to Acrobat Distiller in Classic

    I've had the same trouble and the only solution I've found is to turn off Suitcase's Classic Bridge and use ATM Deluxe with Auto Activate "On". Hope this helps...
