Whoops, sorry - I should learn to read the version number! Quark 6 was only released for UK/Europe last night. Anyway, try Gimp-Print instead.

Well, Hulk, the thread title does have 'open letters' in it, so I thought I'd take a chance. I don't know whether to email exactly those words to Adobe or launch into British Upper Crust speak.

Dear Adobe, The next time you make a programme called 'Acrobat 6 Professional', please make it professional enough that I don't have to launch two separate programmes to make and view PDFs. Thanking you in advance, Mr. I. Abit-Strainge, London

Are you certain the printer driver has been installed? It should show up in the Chooser. There's an occasional problem running printer installers under OSX. Try rebooting into 9 and install from there, check out the Chooser and Xpress before booting back into X.

That looks good! nicely thought out. If only the transparency worked in Safari... still, I'd guess that the mojority of customers will be using IE.

Hoo-wee, that was interesting!:D

Ah, yeah, overlapping objects in the same layer sounds like a good clue. There must be a difference in the way 5 and 6 handle layers. I presume someone sent you this errant pdf. If it were me, after this faffing about, I'd get on to whoever it is, explain the problem and ask them to make...

Right, I've never come across layers in a pdf before, so this is just a guess at a workaround: Try resaving the pdf with the settings you would normally use, making sure that 'Preferences - Startup - Allow layer state to be set by user information' is checked then quit & restart Acrobat. That...

Ho hum. Sigh. Deep, deep sigh. Does anyone know how to stop Xpress v5 blanking out pages when using the spellchecker? Side note: anyone who hasn't seen it, take a look at macfixit.com about Xpress 6. Here we go again!

Looks like nobody uses them... has your co. bought one - there are six models to choose from, how much was it? Had a look around the web but couldn't find any prices.

Blimey Scott, and you're only 28! Reckon I agree more or less with all your points though, I've been at it for 20 years, well on my way to being an old hack, but topsoil? Nah!

mindbend, keep us informed - looks like about £185 is a very reasonable price for what it does.

Spitty, the bloke pinned to the tree has the mouse in his hand (it's white) with the ripped cable dangling from it. It's between 4.2 and 5 seconds into the movie. I only know that because the same point was raised on a UK board this afternoon, so I investigated the movie in QT. Easy to miss!

invicster, it wouldn't work over here anyway - no UK Applestores! UK Apple Centres wouldn't like it one bit (independantly run, little profit) and resellers would absolutely refuse. Even if the UK had Applestores it wouldn't happen this far from home. The card is subject to US laws, not...

'lo! As Apple moves further away from OS9, is Quicktime becoming less friendly with it? I only ask because somebody over here is having a problem with movie soundtracks; some run OK and others don't make any noise at all. He's running 9.0.4 International English.

I won't hold my breath. Isn't jpeg2000 the one that infects Windows with every malicious virus known to humankind? I feel a 'BwahahahHA' coming on! (Not that I actually have anything against Windows, just one or two rotten swines I know who use it...) Do you reckon v8 will be faster in...

Yep. Definately confused. Perhaps easy PDF has a security option that only works in OSX? Does Pagemaker have some sort of document security options as well that got into the pdf? Try extracting the image and see if that works, then at least you'll know if Acrobat 6 can 'see' it.

Assuming it's an internal, shut down the Mac and pull the power plug, then: Hypothetically throw down the side of the Mac Hypothetically unscrew the the thing Hypothetically yank all the cables out of it Hypothetically stuff all the cables back in it Hypothetically screw the...

Now that you mention it xyle_one, that does compromise layouts and actually happens a lot. I have just unconciously worked around it, never really noticed it before!

I feel certain there's something out there that does this. Batch scanning and sequential naming must be common at some level of the comms biz. My business is production with shedloads of images, but I must be too far down the foodchain for it. Maybe it's just familiarity with this thread, but...
