Does that include Distiller and a decent version of Acrobat (not "Standard" or other such muck)? > Most of my layout work (posters and business cards) I do in InDesign > an use the "Press" PDF export preset. I like Export, too. BUT I have to reluctantly admit that it doesn't always seem to work. On the other hand, I also have a problem where Distiller produces no output. It goes through the motions but simply doesn't write its output. > I have been supplied with a logo in EPS format.

What does it look like on screen? Note: InDesign has different options for display quality, so if you are using the worst (quickest) display, it might give you a "misleading" appearance on screen. (Nevertheless, I realise that doesn't explain why it wouldn't behave correctly when printed.) > To work around I open and rasterize it in Photoshop and save it as a > single layer (transparent background) in PDF format. Yikes. > I'd be happy to forward an example "culprit" PDF. Someone else might help you tonight, but feel free to forward a copy to my address directly and I'll have a look at it tomorrow.
