Hello to all,
I have prepared a music book for printing and decided to do it
off-site. I prepared all the music pages in Finale and converted them
to pdf. Other pages such as the cover and table of contents, etc. were
prepared using other programs, such as Photoshop, and also converted to
pdf. Using Adobe Acrobat (v 4) I imported all the pages and assembled
them into a pdf booklet.
When I took them to Kinkos, they were unable to open the pdf document
on their windows based system (I think they use Dell?). However, they
were able to open up the book on a Mac they have on site. The Mac,
however, is not networked so they cannot print from it. They can only
print from the windows based system.
The clerk there said he thinks that you have to specify a platform when
you save the pdf document. This does not sound right to me. I thought
Adove designed the pdf to be available on any platform for reading and
printing regardless of the platform you create it on. Am I wrong or am
I missing something basic here. Has anyone else encountered this
problem? What am I doing wrong?
I am using a mac iBook with Finale 2k5, Photoshop, Appleworks and Adobe
Acrobat 4.0.
