Hi Leonard, Please see my comments below. And thanks again for your help. I hope I'm not sounding contrary. I'm just trying to get educated. John >> When it says Preview will convert EPS/PS to PDF, it doesn't mean >> Preview can save PDF files? > > It's conversion in memory, I don't believe there is a Save - > MAYBE a "Save As"... The current version of Preview lets you create PDFs via the Export command. >> I think my question should have been, will the PDF-creation >> capabilities available via the Print dialog box be enhanced in >> Panther? > > Enhanced in what way? By adding, for example, some PDF formatting options like the ones you get when you export PDFs from QuarkXPress and/or Adobe applications. > > >> I've read in several places that the PDF files saved by Jaguar are >> not useable for high-end printing > > Whoever wrote that is clueless! > > I can generate a PDF from Jaguar that is as high end printing > capable (provided we're talking about process colors) or better than > many other systems! Just so you know that I'm not making this stuff up: Excerpted from "For Position Only: On Quartz PDFs, OS X Fonts, and Light Bulb Jokes" by Anita Dennis on the CreativePro.com Web site: "I still recommend (as do my sources at Apple) that the best way to generate PDF files for print production in OS X is to either save PostScript files and distill them in Classic, or in Adobe applications use the Save As or Export commands to produce PDFs for proofs, comps, and review cycles." What I'm really trying to determine is whether the built-in PDF creation feature in QuarkXPress 6 (accomplished via Global Graphic's Jaws PDF Library) is superior - or not - to the PDF-creation capabilities available in Jaguar and/or Panther.
