Publisher 2003/ Windows XP

When I save the file as a postscript file it seems to save correctly and I
do get the ps icon on my desktop. I then however can not open the ps. file in
Illustrator CS or make a PDF using Acrobat Distiller 6.

I have followed the instructions to the letter in tweaking the Adobe Acrobat
6 print properties according to the Publisher 2003 Prepress Reference Guide.

Using Acrobat 6 Distiller I get the following error:
Quality.joboptions
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: stackunderflow; OffendingCommand: exch ]%%
Stack:
0.

JAWS PDf is a simple one step setup but I get the same error as above.

Please let me know if someone has an explanation for this error.

I am using Windows XP / new computer.
I have uninstalled and re-installed Publisher and Acrobat 6 twice but get
the same result.

Thanks,
Mark

You receive a stackunderflow error message when you print a Publisher
publication as composite CMYK in Publisher 2003

I have a similar problem: I try to save the pages as EPS files (using the
instructions re: generic printer driver in the help file), and I only get a
partial save, no formatting, and Photoshop cannot read the font, therefore I
can't open a file to edit or convert it to a .pdf file from PhotoShop. GIMP
and Ghostview also only get partial files. I have the same problem if I try
to save the project as a .ps file.

I am using XP, PSCS, GIMP8.5 and Publisher 2003. Is the generic ps driver
broken?

Thanks,

Mike

Try downloading PrimoPDF and create your .pdf file straight out of Publisher
with it.

Good tool! Thank you!

Now should I send the PDF file directly to my printing service or should I
try to convrt it to PS or EPS?

Thanks,

Send them a .pdf. Any time you turn one format into a second and then into a
third, you're asking for problems. Try the .pdf and see if you get the
results you need.

PrimoPDF is a great tool, especially for a free program. That rarely ever
happens.  :-) Wait until you discover SnagIt. A wonderful $40 program that
everyone should have.

I would just send the file as a PDF as your commercial printer would prefer
to make his own EPS files. I would also ask your printer what setting he
wants you to use when making your PDFs. I have no idea about PrimoPDF, but
Adobe Distiller, gives you options on fonts, color, page sizes, bleed etc.
