All from Quark as far as I know Ronda. But the save as PS option
looked a possibility. I'll try that later.

Hi Bill,
I’ve only now read this thread. Were the PDFs you are having the
text quality with when printed, created in Pages Application?
If so, try this:
In Pages:
1. Go to “File > Print”
2. When the dialogue box appears, click on “PDF”
3. Select “Save As Postscript”
4. Then double-click to open this file “xxxx.ps” and it will
convert itself to a PDF
5. Then name it & save it as a PDF using Preview ( it will be
showing Format: PDF)
Cheers,
Ronni

I think I have it. I tested your idea Merv and that worked. But
looking at my main work doc this past week - a 48 page mag, it has
to be sent LOW res to actually get to me and there the problem
lies! Its just that I dislike proof reading on screen.
Many thanks all.

Recently I have received documents that are in say, Times New
Roman, but the characters appear "ragged".
If I select all and then set the font to Times New Roman Regular
all is well. This occurs when the original text is sent as Times
New Roman postscript.
Give it a go.

Hi Bill,
I'm still not entirely clear. Is it unreadable gobbledegook or
are the letters correct but badly printed. When I say you could
have the printer set to draft quality, that is a per document
decision that you can make in the print dialog. MS Word, for
instance, may be using its own print dialog and setting the
printer to high quality, but when you use the OS X print dialog,
you may have draft mode selected.

Carlo The text is mostly unreadable, but NOT for MS Word and
several other softwares. So I think it is not the printer.

Hi Bill,
Not sure I can help but what do you mean by poor quality? Is it
that the text badly laid-out or is it that he individual
letters are rough?
Could it be that you have your printer set to draft quality?
Cheers,

I wonder if I have some settings wrong? Whether using Adobe
Acrobat 8 pro or Preview, I cannot print PDf text at anything
like decent quality. The printer is a Canon MX310. Done a
few miles but all other softwares print fine.
