MI Layouts in PDF, more problems
When we are printing a document from MI to an EPS-file, Illustrator is not able to read it. Normally we run it through Acorbat distiller and Illustrator is normally able to read the PDF-files but we have experienced the same problem as Matthew, with white lines segmenting the underlaying tiff image. Another wierd thing about Illustrator is that adobe Illustrator is not able to read the same eps files as Acrobat distiller is. And EPS-files made by PS 4 on a W95 machine makes nice PDF-files that Illustrator reads well while EPS-files made by PS5.12 on a NT_machine makes nice PDF-files in distiller taht cant be read by Illustrator. The conclusion is that there are several problems with Illustrator understanding both eps-files and pdf-files from MI. We havent solved any of the above problems. We can only hope that the eps-translator in Ilustrator 9 will be better or that the PS-driver for NT and W95 will be updatet soon, wherever the problem is. Reno Lindberg Hi All I need to send some maps to a client who uses Adobe Illustrator. When I generated pdf files using Acrobat V4 the resulting documents seem to have some tessalation scheme which segments the layout. This makes any further work in Illustrator difficult. Has anybody come across this problem, or got any better ideas for exporting high quality layouts to Illustrator. (I have found wmfs unreliable and bitmaps too large.)

MI patch55026.exe do not support CMYK.tif
Hello listers Before adding patch55026.exe to MapInfo 5.5, be sure that most of your images are RGB and not CMYK. After running the patch, it is impossible to load workspaces that calls in tif-images in CMYK. The raster engine does not recognise the file-format!

MI RE:Exporting map on PC to a Mac as a Postscript file
Print your layout to an eps-file and convert it to an PDF-file. Both Photoshop and Illustrator reads pdf-files. Photoshop rasterizes all fonts and vector-graphics while Illustrator also reads vectorgraphics and fonts as source. Both programs should also read EPS-files BUT eps files written by MI has something that either of the two programs like... I still don't know why the PDF-distiller can read them but Illustrator and Photoshop cant. All three programs are from Adobe and are also made for opening EPS-files Reno Lindberg Bio/consult as -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re:MI MapInfo output
By printing your layout to an EPS-file it is posible to import that file into word. The problem is that the layout-window is not viewable in the word-document but only on printouts on a PostScript-printer. By importing the eps-file into Illustrator (first making it a PDF-file) you can wiev it in Word, but the size of such an Illustartor-eps will grow from 1-2 Mb (from MapInfo) to about 30 Mb. The printout from Word is still in PostScribt and therefore the quality from MapInfo is maintained. If other List-members have better solutions I will be very happy to hear about them, since I think this method is suboptimal.
