OK, this might not be of much help but I do my word-to-pdf stuff with a
beautiful shareware ext called 'print to pdf'
It takes all my word docs and does a great job of PDF-ing them (including
graphics)
Admittedly it seems daft that a shareware app will do this easily but just
sharing my experince..I guess a web search might turn this up but I can mail
it to you if you want

Bill,

You may wish to try the following:

1 Use the Chooser to choose a Postscript device as your printer.

2 Print to file in the various pages of the Print dialogue box. This should 
produce a PostScript file.

3 Use Adobe Distiller to distill the PostScript file to a pdf.

Distiller does a much better job than does PDF Writer.

Let us know if that works.

Re: Discounted prices

[Shay Telfer]

I have often wondered if some sort of retail price
agreement operates. Is it a breach of the trade practices act? Should
some offended consumer send a query to Allan Felds and the ACCC? The
argument that "there is hardly any margin on macs" has long been used as an
excuse for non-discounting. Yet just about every other consumer device in
the electronics arena can have its price negotiated between buyer and
seller.


Macs all come from one source, namely Apple Australia. Hence it's 
difficult for the resellers to sell Macs for less than the price they 
buy them at from Apple. That would be a great way to go out of 
business quickly.


Were you able to buy Macs from Apple and 'Elppa' say, and those 
companies colluded to make the prices the same, then you might want 
to give Prof. Fels a call.



Members of the working class might not know that there is a second cheaper
price list for people having an association with a university. This saves
quite a bit on the price in the street. Even former attendees of a
university can get this discounted price by being a member of their alumni
association. WA universities recognise each others members too. While I
have purchased computers this way in the past I have always felt it unfair
that the working taxpayers who largely pay for these institutions to exist
are not permitted to access the discounted prices.


The University consortium prices are lower because the consortium 
buys *lots* of Macs, hence they get a volume discount. Funds from the 
consortium are plowed back into the Apple University Developers Fund 
and thence to young developers and academics in the form of access to 
the Worldwide Developer's Conference, national Apple educational 
conferences, hardware and software grants, and access to developer 
programs. Thus the taxpayers money is getting plowed back into the 
students and staff. Seems fair to me (but then I (and many other 
people I know) have been a beneficiary of those funds being returned 
to the community by Apple and the consortium.






My feeling is that it could be timely for some consumer to ask the ACCC for
their opinion on Mac pricing. All it takes is a phone call and a follow-up
letter. The number is in the phone book.


The ACCC still haven't responded to my e-mail about why government 
departments support the Microsoft monopoly.



Consumers should rule - OK.


To quote an old maxim "We should give consumers what they want." 
"What they want are better products for free!"


Have fun,
Shay

Re: LaserWriter 8500

[Shay Telfer]

I've recently purchased a LaserWriter 8500 which has a problem with exit
path paper jams. I've traced the problem to a couple of missing heater
roller fingers on the fuser assembly. I suspect these tiny bits aren't
available as separate parts.

If anyone has an old 8500 fuser assembly, or these fingers (with their
springs) that I could purchase, I would be most appreciative.


If all else fails you can always try
