Also, does your printer have a spec page where they list the
settings that
PDFs should have when made from Quark? Or a .joboptions
file? Our printers
all want the compression settings at 300dpi.

As for image resolution, see this article from Creative
Pro:

Hi, I've recently been handed a QXP document that contains
CJK fonts.  
I'm not to advanced here, apparently these font metrics (if
that's  
the correct terminology), are mapped in Unicode.

So the main problem that I've encountered is receiving a
Windows PDF  
with none of these CJK fonts embedded. So the only route
that's  
available to me is to convert type to outlines on output
from Mac  
Acrobat. Which seems to work, but slightly thickens up the
glyphs.  
Which isn't the ideal result.

Do you guys have any solutions to the above dilemma with
Asian fonts?  
Am I right in thinking that Mac OS X has it's own (Asian
DFONT/ 
Multiple Master replacement versions) installed?

Separate question, does anyone utilise FontLab's TransType
Pro (which  
I've just purchased), do you have anyone tips when
converting messed  
up/emailed PC fonts to Mac?


Thanks,
Samantha Myers
