Didn't catch the beginning of this thread however I can answer some of it: - Overdrive's content reserve is using Adobe Content Server - eBook is one of the 6 Job Options available in Acrobat Distiller 6.0. Acrobat 5 (and ID2) did not include this Job Option, however, I can send you the job option file if you would like. I believe the 'drone' is telling you to use the 'eBook' settings. And I do agree - it could have been better stated. I will forward this thread to the OverDrive relationship manager here at Adobe to let them know the PDF community is frustrated. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have more issues. lori -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Denis Postle Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 12:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PDF] eBook files for OverDrive's Content Reserve The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com __________________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | >http://www.pdfzone.com >__________________________________________________________________ > >Leon, > > > > >>This very interesting and demonstrates the chaos that seems to be >>inherent with Adobe sw. >> >> > >It also seems to be a case where their (OverDrive's) requirements aren't clearly stated and/or that the contact person had not been properly trained or ...?... > > > > >>Indesign creates a native pdf and version 2 only supports 40 bit encryption. >>Indesign CS supports 128 bit encryption.
