An issue with a customer supplied .ps file

[Syphon]

question---
if they're savvy enough to give you a .ps file, why not a stupid pdf?  They're easier to make, especially when you have missing images.

There is no such thing as a "easy to make pdf" when clients do it.

"easy to make crap pdf" when clients do it.

Fixed.

2010 makes decent PDFs for a digital workflow...I'd rather have that than their Pub file...hate it when I'm forced to use it.

We don't do a lot of these, but lately have had reasonable luck getting in-house to Save/Export PDfs from Pub. Or maybe they were just better files than average.
If you're getting a few of them, PUB2ID is not very expensive. Gets you outa injun territory, at least. That way you can do  Rooster Cockburn...reassess in a calm manner.

Oh I forgot to add this in, I a called them about the problem to see what they had done the job in and she informed me and I  quote,
"We did it in Publisher, but we're supposed to be getting Adobe and we're getting trained on it next week sometime".

[gnubler]

Great. Have fun with those "Adobe" files.

Oh gosh! Now you're gonna get files with elements using 5 different effects, all kinds of layers, idiotic names for colors and still no links because they can't figure out the "package" function.

Don't get your hopes up. They probably just bought Photoshop.

He's also gonna get phonecalls...

"How do I type in it?"
"What's transparency?"
