Re: [NTG-context] Help Wanted: Apple Preview.app and Metafun Manual
Hi, I printed metafun-p.pdf using Preview.app on an HP Laserjet 4100 dtn (black and white) and noticed that beginning from page 37 (physical page number 41) of that document the output is fuzzy. Also I noticed that it takes a much longer time to print the pages 37 onward (for instance the 14 pages from 37--50 took three times more time than the 36 pages 1--36). Printing the same document with Acrobat 6, or TeXShop presents no such problems. Best regards: OK Hi all, We need your help in tracking down a possible bug with the Apple Preview.app when printing the Metafun manual (pdf) http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf from page 37 onward. We (and Apple) would appreciate it very much if some of you would do tests on different printers and submit a report on the survey form posted at http://latex.yauh.de/survey/survey.php?SURVEY_ID=14 Josh Carter made the original discovery and did tests on the following: --- HP Color LaserJet 4600dn - Printing page 1-100ish (my original print job), A4 paper scaled to letter: fuzzy pages from page 37 (physical 41) on. - Page 37 only (scaled): fuzzy. - Page 37 only (A4 cropped to letter): fuzzy. HP LaserJet 4050n: - Page 37 only (scaled): fuzzy. - Page 37 only (cropped): fuzzy. Epson Stylus Photo 2000P (note: NOT a PostScript printer): - Page 37 only (cropped): fuzzy. All were printed from my PowerBook G4/550; 512MB/30GB; MacOS X 10.3.2; latest available drivers for Color LaserJet 4600 and Epson 2000P, built-in system driver for LaserJet 4050. I also verified that Acrobat 6 prints correctly on the 4050, but I didn't try the other printers. --- Our thanks to Stephan Hochhaus for setting up the MacTeX survey page. -- wendy for the TUG MacTeX Technical Working Group http://www.tug.org/twg/mactex/ ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

If you open the result (from below) in Acrobat, the outline of bookmark
appears and you can go to the page by clicking on a section. In Preview
(from 10.3), the bookmarks appear, but aren't clickable. Other PDFs (like
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Printing/Conceptual/
PDF_Workflow/PDF_Workflow.pdf) show the bookmarks, and make them
clickable as well.

Hi Adam,
Actually I tried the file with a slight modification (see below) and
I don't see, regarding the clickability of the resulting pdf file,
any difference between what happens in Acrobat 6 and Preview.app
(version 2.1.0): the bookmarks obtained from
\placelist[chapter,section] are clickable in both applications.
(However I don't see where and how the commands
\placebookmarks[chapter,section] and \setupinteraction[... acts
on the pdf file... I mean the result is the same with or without
those two lines, see below).
Best regards: OK
%% here is the modified test file you sent me

You are right: also here, the bookmarks appear in Preview.app but they are not clickable. May I ask you the following: is there a way in ConTeXt to choose the transition mode between pages while showing slides? (Transition can be chosen under Preferences in Acrobat).

[NTG-context] color in hairlines
Hello All,
please, consider the following simple example of pdftex code:
\pdfliteral{0 1 0 0 k} % Magenta (ugly)
\hrule height 1pt
\hrule height 1.1pt
\end
The upper hairline remains black. What should I do to colorize thin
lines also?
Thanks, Pawe/l
