I often create PDF files on Mac OS 10.3.9 from within a variety of applications, ranging from Adobe Illustrator to QuarkXpress to MSWord to Mellel (a multilingual word processing program). Usually this is accomplished in the PRINT menu, but in some of my older applications, it's a "SAVE AS" choice.
The problem arises when I send these PDFs (usually via email, but sometimes saved to a CD) to a variety of recipients. Some can open and print the PDF document just fine. Others can open it, but cannot print. Still others cannot even open the document, and instead get a variety of error messages. This array of possible problems happens regardless of whether the recipient is a Mac or PC user.
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a setting somewhere that I don't know about? Please help!
