We are having a colour problem with the printer we are sending the Publisher
files to. He thinks it's because his version of PDF software is not
compatible with Publisher - it keeps crashing.

What is the best PDF software (version) to get to work with Publisher?

Many thanks

Pretty much any PDF program works with Publisher. The most recommended it
Adobe Acrobat 7.0.

the printer has an older version of Adobe and it's crashing when he tries to
convert. Is there a limit on the size of file you can convert to PDF?

Many thanks for your fast response!

Not that I know of. Which version of Publisher, and is he running the latest
service pack?

Well, there should be no issue in regards to Publisher. Publisher 2003 had a
postscript issue that if a file size was too big, it would freeze or nothing
would happen. This was addressed with Service Pack 1 for Publisher 2003.
Prior to that, nothing is known related to Publisher and PDF.

I just took a 22MB Pub file and created a .pdf (about 350KB).

Chris,

You should ask HIM, not us. Some older RIPs might have trouble with the
latest versions of Acrobat. Saving as PDF 1.3 or 1.2 might help.

He doesn't know Publisher. He is trying to help us but wouldn't be using
Publisher by choice - so I am attempting to get as much information for him
as I can.
