    Placing PNG... the good and the bad

    Correct. PNG supports the inclusion of an associated RGB (or Gray) profile. In that case, you can use any profile that you'd like. If you don't use a profile, then it's sRGB.

    MS Word to Adobe PDF

    The Mac versions of PDFMaker do NOT support the same bookmarking and linking features available on Windows. As such, just use the Windows versions (either natively or via VM) and you'll be just fine. Leonard Rosenthal - if your out there, we would really appreciate your advise You're welcome!

    Global font change in a PDF

    Can you please provide DETAILED information about what types of errors? What tools you used to produce such problematic documents? How the documents were printed (software, RIP, hardware, etc). What you have said above is an "old wives tale". It is based on information and/or experience that...

    Postscript Type 1 Fonts and OS X 10.6 +

    First and foremost, you may not have the RIGHT to convert the fonts from Type 1 to another format! For example, the Adobe Type 1 Font Library does _NOT_ grant you the right to convert them. So any attempt to do so is a violation of the law and I STRONGLY recommend that you DO NOT go down that...

    Removing hyperlinks from PDF

    PDF/X-compliant files are destined for print - so there is no reason to enable link detection.

    Removing hyperlinks from PDF

    I am VERY confused by this thread... That preference in Acrobat simply tells Acrobat to PRETEND that regular text that looks like a URL is an active link. It DOES NOT, IN ANY WAY, modify the PDF itself. So why does having that preference enabled have ANY IMPACT on Digital Edition, your print...

    How can I get my pdf to print?

    Sorry Rich - but that's simply wrong! The PDF standard (since version 1.0!) has FULLY SUPPORTED the concept of multiple versions of a font (be it full or subset embedded) in a PDF - even on the same page (let alone the same document). Such documents can be viewed, printed, and processed...

    How can I get my pdf to print?

    What "experience" is that? With what version(s) of Adobe Acrobat? What do you believe the problem with "subset fonts" is? If you believe there is an issue with our software, we'd certainly like to know about it. However, document assembly/combine is one of the top three features of Acrobat...

    Acrobat 4

    Move to Acrobat X - it's MUCH EASIER to use than any previous version, it's fast and supports your equipment.

    PDF Proof workflow

    .EPS (and Postscript in general) is VERY OLD SCHOOL! The correct way to produce a PDF in this century is to do direct export from the authoring application. That enables higher fidelity conversions. You may also want to choose one of the PDF/X standards (X-1a or X-4, depending) as well...

    To trust submitted PDF's

    Photoshop is _NOT_ a PDF RIP!! If you feel the need to rasterize a PDF before sending to print, PLEASE use Adobe Acrobat to "Save as TIFF/PNG/etc.".

    Crop Tool Problem / Acrobat X Standard

    There are two Cropping tools in Acrobat X - Crop Pages and Set Page Boxes (they both used to be called Crop, in older versions). Crop Pages should be in Standard and should enable you to set the page sizes. However, with Acrobat X Pro you also get the new Actions feature which woudl enable you...

    10.6 Acrobat PDF will not open in 10.58

    that's becuase the classic Mac "type and creator" model was removed in 10.6 - you NEED to use extensions.

    Acrobat output preview defaults

    All of the different colorspaces(there are 11 of them) in PDF are represented by floating point values in the range of 0-1 - which is (obviously) equivalent to a percentage 0-100. PDF doesn't use the classic 0-255 values for RGB, so there is no reason to display them as such (it would only...

    Font Issues

    Be aware that you may not have the legal rights to convert the font files to another format. For example, Adobe fonts are NOT licensed for this purpose - so that conversion would be illegal.

    Multi-channel support

    That's DeviceN, which is multiple spot channels. If you create one of those in Photoshop, you can easily bring that into the rest of the Suite (and PDF). NChannel profiles, however, are a completely different thing. They are "ICCBased", meaning that it has an associated ICC profile.

    Multi-channel support

    Assuming you mean n-channel profiles, where the profile refers to a set of colors OTHER THAN Gray, RGB or CMYK, that is correct - the rest of the Creative Suite does not support them. The reason is that the PDF imaging model (on which they are all based) does not support it. PDF only allows...

    Reduce and downsize pdf

    Adobe Acrobat has a PDF Optimizer (Advanced menu in Acrobat 7-9) and in the File->Save As menu in Acrobat X.
