Here's the story.  Last year a competing paper sponsored an event at a local mall.  This year we are sponsoring it.  The mall used all the same logos as last year on all of the promotions but used our company name.  Unfortunately what they used is a 72 dpi web graphic.  We need to print a full color insert in our newspaper and need a higher res logo.  I was able to find a font on the web that matched but unfortunately it costs $$$.  The fonts that I think would work are either Casablanca or Carlos Bold.  Maye someone out there has similar free fonts to those and can type "Octoberfest" for me in Illustrator, create outlines and send.  I tried messing with live trace but am no good at it and got pretty poor results.  I have attached a sample.  Thanks for help anyone.

At the paper I work for we send over 1 flat (4-up) pages at a time.  In the version of Preps we were using we were able to send 1 flat over at a time with the ability to label each flat going over to RIP as a designated letter.  In the Preps 5.3.3 we are unable to do this so each flat is sent over with the same name making it confusing trying to figure out which flat is which.  Thanks for any help.

I have a co-worker who is opening pdf files in Acrobat 8 Pro on Mac OS 10.4.11 and when she opens them the file opens and then within 20-30 seconds the entire pdf turns to a lighter shade of gray than it was when she first opens it.  I have checked this file with PitStop and find that the original she is opening is indeed 100% black text but after she opens and saves the file it is 67% gray.  Any idea what is going on?  Is it executing some sort of preflight upon opening?  If I open these files on my Mac this does not happen.  It is only her Mac and only in version 8.  Any thoughts?  Thanks for your help.
