Title: Amyuni PDF Converter
Post by: ratintrap on November 10, 2009, 11:27:28 AM
Anyone ever heard of this?

Amyuni PDF Converter 4.0 (http://www.amyuni.com/)

Someone sent us an ad that was done using it today. It basically just rasterized it to 600 dpi RGB. :puke:

Never heard of it but it does say:

QuoteTrueType® and Type1 (Postscript) fonts can be fully or partially embedded in the PDF document to ensure perfect portability

So you should be able to get a PDF out of it that is not rasterized.

Still, if smells like skunk....

Who knows what kind of software they used to layout the original document. (MS Paint  :undecided:)

After getting a 1-bit TIFF image, with the suffix .pdf after it, last week, anything's possible.    :banghead:

I know we have received good PDFs from customers that use it. I am not sure of their settings. Our customers that use it are newspapers I believe.

The file name for the PDF in question was the name of a large metropolitan newspaper in my area. I just assumed that the ad was done by the paper in question until I saw that it was done using Amyuni.

A few years back they put in a new press that is supposed to be one of the most advanced in the country so I assumed they wouldn't be using something like Amyuni. :undecided:
