    Re: How do ya'all (you all) receive PDF proof approvals ... Zoran, Peter, it's funny you should mention that (about Acrobat versions and updating)... I just received an email that the client cannot open the PDF file I sent yesterday. His business partner can on her machine, but he cannot. He...

    How do ya'all (you all) receive PDF proof approvals ...

    Re: How do ya'all (you all) receive PDF proof approvals ... Well, it's been my experience that A LOT of these people don't even realize they are looking at it WITHOUT overprint preview. I actually have to answer more questions from people that use Acrobat Professional than those who use just...

    Ready to get OUT of the business ...

    Re: Ready to get OUT of the business ... FIrst of all ... this 'attitude' never reaches the client.

    Ready to get OUT of the business ...

    Re: Ready to get OUT of the business ... I appreciate what all of you are saying but, thru my entire career up to today, the major concern with all of my employers has been 'quality, quality, quality'.
