  Fixed parameters for Acrobat in PDF         


Author: hoffmann
Date: Sep 19, 2008 08:16

My PDFs should contain these settings, which override
local settings:

Page display:
Custom resolution 72 ppi

Color Management:
Output Intent overrides working spaces

For instance: local settings 96 ppi, RGB=sRGB.
The PDF is defined by 72 ppi and AdobeRGB(1998).

How can I do this by manipulating the PDF ?

Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

Hi
I have a problem with an imagemask example and I couldn't find the
problem with it.
Here is the code:

0 setgray
100 500 translate

/BitsPerComponent 1
/Decode [ 0 1 ]
/ImageMatrix [ 50 0 0 -50 0 50 ]
/DataSource currentfile /ASCII85Decode filter

What version of GS are you using ? Are you certain the text is
searchabl;e in the original PostScript ? If not it probably won't be in
the PDF file either.

  Some pdf and ps files won't print on my HP LaserJet-1200         


Author: David Combs

Some pdf and ps files won't print on my HP LaserJet-1200

Most work just fine.

Like, I'll use xpdf to display the file, and use xpdf to also print it.

Except some files don't work.

Here's two:

1: the famous MIT "lockpicking tutorial":

http://www.capricorn.org/~akira/home/lockpick/mitlg-a4.pdf

(I learned about this document when attending the HOPE conference
here in NYC a few months ago -- a conf run by the
people at 2600 ("Emmanuel Goldstein", Kevin Mitnick, etc))

Anyway, xpdf shows it fine, but it won't print on my 1200.

2: My wife just bought a digital camera. The user-manual (.pdf)
that came with it I have put onto my panix-provided "personal"
web site:

www.panix.com/~dkcombs/PSA470_Guide_EN.pdf

Or if direct-approach somehow doesn't work, go then just to my page,
"www.panix.com/~dkcombs", and you'll see it listed there.

I also tried running pdf2ps on it, but the resulting .ps had the same (or
maybe worse -- I forget) problem.

  blocking page scaling by Acrobat         


Author: skmpl
Date: Sep 18, 2008 09:39

With Debian Etch, I create lecture handouts in groff, convert them to
PDF with gs, and distribute the PDFs online. It happens often that
students bring printouts to class and the images are much smaller than
I had intended.

Almost certainly what happens is that they print from Acrobat with
"Page Scaling" set to "Fit to Printer Margins" or "Reduce to Printer
Margins". I do have a couple of elements (e.g. the page number) near
the edge of the printable region. Acrobat decides to shrink
everything to get that farther away from the edge.

Is there a command I can insert into the PostScript that will block
Acrobat from doing this?

Thanks.

I am looking for software component that can create PDF document and
import EPS files in it. To be more specific - we need to place several
small files that we receive in EPS format on the PDF page and add some
text to this page with printing instructions. I need to call that
component from .Net application.

Can anyone recommend anything?

  forcing Illustrator to read its own EPS macros         


Author: bidalah
Date: Sep 15, 2008 13:01

Hello all,

I have a custom program which takes an EPS file created in Adobe
Illustrator and modifies the EPS macros to scale certain lines and
boxes, while leaving others intact. The program works fine. The
problem is that when I try to reopen the file in Illustrator,
Illustrator does not bother reading the EPS. Instead it reads the
Illustrator-encoded source at the bottom of the EPS form. Since I
have no way of editing this source, the result is that the form comes
up without any of my changes. In fact, if I then save the file, the
EPS macros are rewritten and all of the changes I made get blown
away!

What I need to a way to force Illustrator to its own EPS macros,
instead of the appended Illustrator source. I tried simply deleting
the Illustrator source but that only caused Illustrator to hang.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

  Wotlk! The DPS of Death Knight         


Author: king
Date: Sep 11, 2008 06:47

Blizzard said that Death Knight can both tank and dps.
But the fact is Death Knight cant use a shield!
More and more players are paying attention on the dps Death
Knight.there are 3 different talent trees: blood, frost and unholly.
Who should do what damage in what order is a very touchy subject that
ends up causing a lot of arguments.Durling TBC, among the dps classes
in a raid, none should be double any of the others, and ideally nobody
is 50%% ahead of anyone else.(well, if the players have the same level
items. Expect some crazy guys who have spent tons of wow gold to
upgrade their items. The recipe of ā€œGloves of Immortal Duskā€ on some
realms will charge over 10000 wow gold.)
The design of LK, even more so than BC, is that the different dps
specs are very close in potential. Overall, Blood, Frost and Unholy
should do the same damage. Because of the kinds of damage they do, it
probably won't even out on any single fight, but overall that's the
goal.
Don't look at the data parse, the skill of the player and the specific
encounter are quite different. If you wanna be the VIP in dps, as I
mentioned, find out a cheap gold site,purchase some wow gold there.
Check www.thecheapwowgold.com for more information about dps analysis. ...
