Well, for the same reason that I use Type 1 fonts over Truetype, I find that
reducing variables makes PDF conversions more predictable. I haven't made
all the compromises that PDF/X file conversions require but, then again, my
vendors and publications don't require it yet.

I suppose "safest" and "industrical strength" for me now is PDFs that are
importable in Quark and that will survive RIPping from the greatest number
of print vendors possible. JAWS produced PDFs worry me because of their
bloat. There are a lot of old RIPs out there.

I do that already but I am not getting the background Distilling nor the
automatic booting of Acrobat 6 that I used to. Are you saying that I should
be experiencing those features, too, with Adobe PDF? If so, maybe I need to
reinstall 6.

Thanks Leonard.
